Full Website Privacy Policy

Above & Below Deck Yacht Supply Ltd is committed to protecting your privacy and promises not to share any information we collect with any third party.

However, as our business is mail order, it is necessary for us to gather certain pieces of personal information in order to fulfil our service and make your shopping experience as simple and easy as possible.

Immediately below is a brief summary of how we collect info and use it.

Further down the page is a detailed explanation. 

The information we do collect - and how it is collected:

When you place an order, we need to know certain information. To fulfil orders we need to know your name, e-mail address, telephone number and full delivery address and billing address. We store this information securely so that it makes your shopping quick, and effective. It also allows us to contact you should anything untoward happen with your order.

At our checkout, we ask for your credit or debit card number, expiry and start date, issue number (if applicable) and security code. We ask for this each time and do not retain in accordance with current data protection legislation. We also ask for a despatch address if you require your order to be sent as a gift, or to a place of work.

Protecting our customers' financial information:

When you place an order with your credit or debit card, it is done using a secure connection to our payment provider. We do not take or hold your credit card details. 

We strongly recommend that you do not email an order to us containing credit card information, because most email is sent un-encrypted and so is not secure. All our customer data held online is encrypted and held in a secure environment.
