Privacy policy

MPC, the publisher of the White Shark website, is the controller for the processing described in this policy. Its registered office is at 263 chemin de Piècaous, 84450 Saint-Saturnin-lès-Avignon, France. Full contact details are available in the legal notice.

For any questions about your data, email MKG@white-shark-boats.com or write to White Shark — MPC, 703 chemin du Raisin, 84310 Morières-lès-Avignon, France.

The website presents White Shark boats and allows you to find a dealer and contact the brand or its network. No user account is required to browse it, and no sales are concluded directly on the website.

The contact form allows you to submit the subject of your inquiry, your first and last names, email address, country and message. Depending on your inquiry, it may also collect your phone number, callback preference, city, selected dealer or boat model.

Fields marked with an asterisk are required to process your inquiry. Without this information, we cannot respond properly. Other fields are optional. Please avoid entering sensitive data or unnecessary information in the message field.

Technical information, such as your IP address, request date and security events, may also be processed to ensure that the form operates properly and securely.

We use your contact details and message to respond to your inquiry and, when requested, connect you with a dealer or call you back. Requests for quotes or information in preparation for a purchase are processed on the basis of pre-contractual steps taken at your request. Other inquiries are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in following up on exchanges with visitors.

Preventing abusive submissions and securing the website are based on our legitimate interest in protecting our services. Processing required by law is based on that legal obligation.

Submitting the form does not automatically subscribe you to a newsletter.

You can subscribe to the newsletter to receive brand news, new models and information about boat shows and events. Subscription is based on your consent and is separate from any contact inquiry or visit to the website.

We use your email address and the information needed to record and manage your choice, including the date and source of your subscription. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in each newsletter or by writing to us. Withdrawal does not affect messages sent before your request.

A confirmation message may be sent to verify that you initiated the subscription. Subscribing to the White Shark newsletter alone does not result in your address being shared with dealers for their own newsletters.

Authorized White Shark personnel access the information needed to respond to your inquiry. When you select “Contact a dealer,” your message and contact details are sent to the selected dealer, with a copy to White Shark. You also receive an acknowledgment by email.

The dealer may then process subsequent exchanges under its own responsibility to advise you or manage a business relationship. You can request its data protection policy and exercise your rights directly with the dealer.

Our hosting, email, maintenance and newsletter providers process information as needed to deliver their services. Their access must be limited to the necessary information and governed by contractual terms. Data may also be disclosed to authorities where required by law.

Retention periods depend on how the information is used:

• General inquiries: for the duration of processing, then for twelve months after closure to follow up on exchanges.
• Sales inquiries and prospect data: for a maximum of three years after collection or your last active contact, unless an applicable objection or erasure request takes precedence.
• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or, in the absence of active contact from you, for a maximum of three years. Merely sending you a message does not restart this period.
• Objections to communications: only the information needed to honor your objection may be kept on a suppression list for at least three years, without being used to contact you for marketing purposes.
• Technical and security logs: for a maximum of six months in normal operation; records related to an incident may be held separately for as long as needed to investigate it.

If an exchange becomes necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, only the relevant data may be retained in a restricted-access archive for the applicable limitation period. Data relating to a contract, warranty or legal obligation is subject to the retention periods specific to those circumstances. Deletion applies to tracking and email tools; backup copies are removed according to their rotation cycle.

Viewing embedded services, including the dealer map, may transmit technical data to their providers, such as your IP address, browser information and the page viewed. Where the map uses Google Maps, Google’s processing is described in its privacy policy. The relevant trackers are presented on the Cookies page.

Depending on the provider used or the country of the dealer you contact, some data may be processed outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers must rely on a mechanism permitted by the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses supplemented, where necessary, by additional measures. You can contact us to learn about the recipients, processing countries and applicable safeguards.

Protective measures are adapted to the nature of the data and the risks: restricting access to authorized personnel, securing transmissions, maintaining software and protecting against abusive submissions. No system eliminates all risks; please do not send sensitive data or identity documents through the contact form unless a justified request is made in connection with the exercise of a right.

Contact details collected are used for the purposes described in this policy. They are not offered for sale and are not used for solely automated decisions producing legal effects concerning you.

Under the conditions set out in the applicable regulations, you may request access to your data, its rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. You may also object, particularly where processing is based on a legitimate interest, and benefit from data portability where its conditions are met. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting processing already carried out.

Send your request to the contact listed at the beginning of this page, providing the information needed to locate your correspondence. Additional proof may be requested if there is reasonable doubt about your identity. A response is normally provided within one month; an extension may be necessary in the circumstances provided for by the regulations.

You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL.
