GDPR Compliant • Data Protection Framework

Last updated: June 2026

1. Data Controller

Croatian Nautical Hub, established in the Republic of Croatia, acts as the data controller for personal data collected through this platform, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable Croatian data protection laws.

2. Information We Collect

3. Business Listings and Publicly Available Information

Croatian Nautical Hub compiles and publishes maritime business listings, including marinas, nautical service providers, marine mechanics, fuel providers, charter-related services, and other relevant Adriatic maritime businesses. Listing information may include business names, addresses, coordinates, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, working hours, service categories, and factual notes about services offered. This information is researched manually and compiled from publicly available sources, including company websites, public directories, official sources, and other publicly accessible business information.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

5. Business Listing Corrections, Updates, and Removal Requests

If you are a business owner, authorised representative, or affected person and believe that a listing is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or should not appear on the platform, you may contact us to request correction, update, or removal. We will review such requests within a reasonable time. Where personal data is involved, applicable GDPR rights may apply.

6. Data Storage & Security

We use secure third-party infrastructure providers, including Supabase for database and authentication services. Data is stored within the European Economic Area (EEA) or in jurisdictions recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, or otherwise protected by appropriate safeguards. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

7. Payments

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers such as PayPal. Certain personal data may be shared with payment providers where necessary for transaction processing, fraud prevention, compliance, accounting, and subscription management. Payment providers may act as independent controllers or processors according to their own terms and privacy policies. Croatian Nautical Hub does not store full payment card, bank account, or payment account details.

8. Email Communications & Newsletters

If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise provide consent, we may use your email address to send platform updates, maritime news, promotional content, or service communications. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us directly.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Non-essential cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, are used only with user consent where required by law. Users can manage cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on the website.

10. Affiliate Links

Some links on the platform may be affiliate links. Croatian Nautical Hub may earn a commission if users complete a transaction through these links. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals, subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party providers for hosting, authentication, database services, payments, analytics, email communications, maps, weather data, affiliate tracking, and other platform functions. These providers may process limited personal data only where necessary to provide their services and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

12. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

We make reasonable efforts to keep platform and business listing information accurate and up to date. However, information may be compiled from external public sources and may not always be complete, current, or error-free. Users and listed businesses are encouraged to contact us with corrections or updates.

13. User Rights Under GDPR

14. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including account management, subscription access, legal compliance, accounting, security, dispute resolution, and legitimate business purposes. Business listing information may remain published for as long as it is relevant to the maritime directory, unless corrected, removed, or objected to in accordance with applicable law.

15. Independent Informational Platform

Croatian Nautical Hub is an independent informational maritime platform. We are not an official maritime authority, marina operator, vessel operator, charter company, or regulatory body. Users remain responsible for verifying critical information directly with official sources or service providers.
