Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Antares Catamarans designs, builds, markets, sells, and supports bluewater cruising catamarans. Our operations involve personnel, representatives, service providers, and business relationships in the United States, Argentina, and other locations where we support customers, prospects, owners, and vessels.

References to “Antares,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Antares Catamarans and the affiliated people or entities involved in operating this website, responding to inquiries, supporting sales activity, and supporting Antares owners.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the website, and information reasonably needed to respond to your inquiry or support an Antares-related relationship.

• Contact information: name, email address, phone number, country, preferred contact method, and related details.
• Inquiry information: model interest, timing, budget or price-range context, cruising plans, availability questions, brochure requests, listing inquiries, and messages you submit.
• Owner or vessel-related information: hull, model, vessel name, service/support context, equipment questions, documentation requests, and ownership history where relevant.
• Newsletter and marketing information: email subscriptions, preferences, engagement with emails, and unsubscribe status.
• Website and device information: pages viewed, referring pages, browser, device type, approximate location, IP address, cookies, analytics identifiers, and similar technical data.
• Business communications: emails, calls, notes, meeting records, CRM records, and other correspondence related to sales, support, or owner communications.

3. How we use information

We use information for practical business purposes connected to building, selling, and supporting Antares catamarans.

• Respond to questions, brochure requests, pricing requests, listing inquiries, and contact forms.
• Provide model, availability, build-slot, delivery, and ownership information.
• Route inquiries to the appropriate Antares team member, representative, broker, service provider, or partner.
• Maintain CRM, sales, owner-support, and business records.
• Send requested newsletters, updates, educational material, and marketing communications.
• Operate, measure, improve, and secure the website.
• Evaluate demand, content performance, advertising effectiveness, and buyer interest.
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, warranty, insurance, safety, dispute-resolution, and contractual obligations.

4. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, advertising tools, and similar technologies to understand site traffic, improve the website, measure campaigns, remember preferences, and protect the site from abuse.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website functions, but basic browsing should remain available.

5. When we share information

We do not sell personal information as a standalone business. We may share information when reasonably necessary to operate Antares, respond to your request, support owners, or comply with law.

• Antares personnel and affiliated operations: including U.S.-based and Argentina-based team members involved in sales, build, service, support, administration, or marketing.
• Service providers: website hosting, CRM, email delivery, analytics, advertising, form processing, data storage, IT support, and security vendors.
• Representatives, brokers, yards, and partners: when needed to respond to a boat inquiry, coordinate a showing, discuss availability, support a vessel, or handle a relevant business request.
• Legal and compliance recipients: when required for legal process, compliance, safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or protection of rights.
• Business transfer recipients: if Antares is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

6. International transfers

Because Antares operates with business connections in the United States, Argentina, and other locations, information may be processed or accessed in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from your local laws.

When we transfer or allow access to information internationally, we do so for legitimate business purposes such as responding to inquiries, building and supporting vessels, maintaining records, and operating the website.

7. Legal bases where required

Where privacy law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, performance of a contract or pre-contractual request, legitimate business interests, compliance with legal obligations, protection of rights, and safety or fraud-prevention interests.

8. Your choices

• You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us.
• You may ask us to update, correct, delete, or provide access to personal information, subject to legal and business-record retention requirements.
• You may ask us not to use your information for direct marketing.
• You may control cookies through your browser or device settings.

To make a privacy request, contact us at info [at] antarescatamarans [dot] com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.

9. Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining sales and owner-support records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and preserving business records. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No website, email, network, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children

Our website and services are intended for adults interested in Antares catamarans, cruising, boat ownership, or related business matters. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

12. Regional privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including certain U.S. states, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions, you may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, restriction, opt-out of certain uses, or withdrawal of consent.

We will respond to valid requests as required by applicable law. Some requests may be limited by legal obligations, active business relationships, warranty or support records, transaction records, safety obligations, or other legitimate grounds.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means the updated Policy applies to later interactions.
