Privacy policy
Short and to the point: what the site knows about you, why, and how to control it.
Who is responsible for your data
www.rycrentals.com is run by Nikolai Shilin, a private individual in Georgia. He decides what data is collected and why, and is responsible for it.
For any question about your data, write to nikolai.shilin.ryc@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
- Your email — so you can sign in: the sign-in link is sent there.
- Subscriptions and their criteria (country, dates, boat type, cabins) and saved boats — to send you new deals and keep your choices.
- Questions and requests to the manager — the text, the boat and how to reach you. With a request we also keep where you came to the site from and the page you started on, so we can see which links and posts work.
- A shortlist (/quote/…) the manager sent you personally: opens and clicks on boats, so the manager can see what interests you.
- Vercel Web Analytics — anonymous page-view counts, with no cookies and nothing that identifies a person.
- Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica — only if you agree: which pages are viewed, where visitors come from, device and approximate location. Metrica with Webvisor records actions on the page; anything typed into fields is hidden. These counters never run on account, sign-in, shortlist or shared-favourites pages, even with consent.

We don’t sell data or share it for advertising. Google’s and Yandex’s advertising features are turned off.
Legal grounds
- Your consent — for Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica. You can withdraw it at any time.
- What you asked for — your account, subscriptions, saved boats, a reply to your request, a shortlist.
- Our legitimate interest — site security and anonymous statistics without cookies.
How long we keep it
- Account, subscriptions and saved boats — until you delete your account.
- Requests to the manager, where you came from with them, and shortlist events — 3 years.
- Google Analytics — 14 months. Yandex Metrica — Metrica’s default.
- Theme, form drafts and visit labels in your browser — until the browser clears them.
Your rights
You can find out what data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, get a copy in a usable format, and withdraw consent. Withdrawing doesn’t undo what happened before.
Write to nikolai.shilin.ryc@gmail.com — we reply within 30 days. If you think we’ve violated your rights, you can complain to a supervisory authority: in the EU, the one in your country; in Georgia, the Personal Data Protection Service; in Russia, Roskomnadzor.
Change your choice
Turn Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica on or off here, or with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page.
Version 1 of 26 October 2026. If the policy changes in substance, we’ll ask for your consent again.
