At stacksviewtica (operating under stacksviewtica.lol), we are dedicated to protecting the privacy of our high-end luxury clientele, marine researchers, and global travel enthusiasts. This comprehensive Privacy Policy defines our data collection practices, storage methodology, and strict safety guidelines. Our processes fully align with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and applicable Portuguese data protection guidelines overseen by the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Protecção de Dados).

1. Scope and Principles of Data Protection

We treat your personal data as a premier asset. Our core operational philosophy centers on minimal data acquisition. We do not engage in deep profile tracking, predictive identity modeling, or the commercial distribution of individual marine search metrics. Any information handled during your sessions is processed under strict confidentiality rules designed to maintain complete anonymity during your luxury planning phases.

2. Explicit Information We Collect

Our platform handles information through two distinct channels: automatic telemetry and explicit user input.

• Direct Communications and Portfolio Inquiries: When you engage our custom travel desk via the contact form on contact.html, we collect your full name, email address, country of residence, target travel months, and specific travel parameters (such as vessel preference, dietary requests, and coastal targets).
• Browser-Based Local Storage: To customize your layout, our platform saves your bookmarked destinations (your chosen "Saved Havens") inside your local browser memory. This data is stored on your physical device and is not synchronized to an external corporate database.
• Geographic and Network Telemetry: To dynamically adjust current water temperatures, localized wind directions, and distance parameters to regional airports, we process approximate network location markers. This telemetry data does not pinpoint your exact street address or personal coordinates.

3. Legal Grounds and Purposes of Data Processing

We process your data strictly under the following legal bases of the GDPR:

• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): For newsletter registration, direct inquiries, and the activation of optional analytical cookies.
• Contractual Performance (Article 6(1)(b)): To formulate, prepare, and deliver your requested bespoke travel blueprints, custom itineraries, and simulated marine PDF portfolios.
• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): To optimize high-resolution visual rendering on ultra-wide desktop monitors, perform anonymous database performance tests, and maintain platform security against automated crawling software.

4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Policy

We maintain an absolute Zero-Sell Policy. We do not sell, lease, trade, or distribute your email addresses, search parameters, or travel histories to marketing aggregates, programmatic advertisers, or hotel networks. Your information is only shared under the following conditions:

• Authorized Partners: When you explicitly request direct charter bookings, we may securely transfer necessary planning credentials to accredited maritime vessels or transport operators in Southern Europe.
• Legal Compliance: If required by authorized Portuguese maritime officers, European custom boards, or relevant legal courts under administrative subpoena.

5. Technical Safeguards and Security Infrastructure

Your connection to our database is protected by 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Our underlying cloud databases employ strict multi-factor authentication controls, active network threat audits, and physical access limits at our data storage nodes in Portugal. While we deploy maximum industry-standard protocols, no electronic transmission over the internet can be declared completely invulnerable.

6. International Data Transfers

Our operational headquarters are located in Lisbon, Portugal. If you are accessing our platforms from locations in North America, Asia, or Oceania, your queries are processed locally within European servers. We maintain strict compliance with global cross-border standards to guarantee that your legal protections remain uncompromised.

7. Your Legal Data Rights

Under GDPR guidelines, you possess comprehensive rights regarding your personal information:

• Right of Access: You can request a clear copy of any personal details we hold regarding your travel desk queries.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can instruct our Lisbon discovery office to permanently erase your historical messages, email subscription data, and custom portfolio request logs.
• Right to Rectification: You can update incomplete or incorrect logistics information.
• Right to Object: You have the right to withdraw your consent for any newsletter distribution or browser analytical tracking at any point.
