Privacy Policy & Maritime Data Governance
Comprehensive compliance guidelines under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, AMSA manifest regulations, and international GDPR data protection standards.
Official Document Record
1. Executive Overview & Corporate Entity
Map & Sail Maritime Events Pty Ltd (Corporate ABN 74 819 362 501, ACN 492 815 670), operating from Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal, Wharf Street, Cairns City QLD 4870, Australia, is dedicated to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and data sovereignty of all charter clients, tournament participants, and passengers. This Privacy Policy governs the collection, encrypted storage, and regulatory processing of personal information under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation (EU) 2016/679), and Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Class 1B commercial passenger manifest requirements.
2. Categories of Information Collected
To safely execute offshore voyages and comply with federal maritime law, we collect and process the following categories of data:
- Passenger Manifest Credentials: Full legal name, date of birth, passport/national ID copy, nationality, and emergency contact details as mandated by AMSA and Australian Border Force clearance.
- Charter Configuration Data: Stateroom allocations, bespoke culinary preferences, sommelier dietary profiles, and specific table game staking requirements.
- Financial & Cage Escrow Records: Banking wire confirmations, cryptocurrency transaction hashes (USDT, BTC), and chip redemption receipts. We do not store raw credit card numbers on our servers.
- Aviation Logistics: Tail numbers, flight schedules, and passenger manifests for direct helicopter deck transfers.
3. Air-Gapped Offshore Storage & Encryption Protocols
While our vessels are underway in international neutral waters beyond the 12-nautical-mile baseline, passenger records and financial cage logs are isolated on dedicated, hardware-encrypted, air-gapped marine servers. Satellite transmissions between our vessels and coastal terminals utilize dual-layer AES-256 encryption over private Starlink satellite connections. Client manifests are retained strictly for the duration mandated by maritime safety law and are purged following post-voyage audit clearance.
4. Salon Privé Surveillance & Non-Disclosure Standards
To safeguard the privacy of high-profile syndicates and family offices, our Submerged Salon Privé operates under strict mutual non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Closed-circuit gaming surveillance systems operate on a closed, offline loop accessible exclusively to the certified Compliance Director and the client's authorized security detail. No video recordings are broadcast, streamed, or connected to public networks.
5. Disclosures to Maritime Authorities
Personal information is never commercialized, sold, or rented to third-party marketing entities. We disclose passenger data exclusively to statutory maritime and safety authorities where legally required, specifically: the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Australian Border Force (ABF), and the Australian Maritime Search and Rescue service (JRSC Australia) during emergencies.
6. Your Rights & Legal Officer Contact
Under the Privacy Act 1988 and GDPR, you possess the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your personal information (subject to statutory maritime log retention requirements). To exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at mapandsail@gmail.com or via written notice to Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal, Wharf Street, Cairns City QLD 4870, Australia.
