The owner does not guarantee the accuracy, continuity, or constant availability of geolocation data,
which may be inaccurate or unavailable under certain conditions (for example due to weak GPS signal,
use of satellite networks, VPNs, or connections from vessels, especially when using computers or notebooks).
In particular, when using a computer, the detected location may be inaccurate because
IP addresses are often registered in places different from the actual location.
It is therefore strongly recommended to use the website or the app from a mobile phone
to obtain the most accurate location possible.
By choosing to use the website’s geolocation feature, the user acknowledges these limitations
and expressly releases Vitamarinaweb and its owner from any liability regarding
any damages, accidents, or consequences, whether on land or at sea, arising from the use
or malfunction of the geolocation service.
Locations are private by default; users can make them public with explicit consent and are responsible for what they share; visibility can be revoked or the location deleted at any time.
OpenStreetMap / Nominatim (attribution): Maps and reverse-geocoding may use OpenStreetMap data – © OpenStreetMap contributors. Reverse-geocoding may be performed via Nominatim in compliance with their terms of use.
Vitamarinaweb can also be used by minors. For the “Save my location” feature:
– Locations are private by default;
– Public sharing of a location requires explicit consent;
– For users under 14, public sharing must occur only with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian;
– When a location is public we show an approximate position (reduced precision) to protect privacy;
– Consent can be withdrawn at any time by making the location private again or deleting it;
– For removal/assistance requests write to aaa411@hotmail.it.

The protection and processing of personal data will be carried out in accordance with the Privacy Notice available below:
Privacy Policy
Data controller: natural person, contactable at aaa411@hotmail.it. The full name is available upon request pursuant to Art. 12 GDPR.
We have adopted this privacy policy, which determines how we process information collected by www.vitamarinaweb.com and the reasons for collecting certain personal data related to you. Therefore, you must read this privacy policy before using www.vitamarinaweb.com.
We process your personal data and guarantee its confidentiality and security.
Personal information collected:
When you visit www.vitamarinaweb.com, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse the site, we collect information about the web pages or products you view, websites or search terms that referred you to the site, and how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as device information. We may also collect personal data you provide to us (including, without limitation, name, surname, address, payment information, etc.) during registration to fulfill the agreement.
Why do we process data?
Moderation and IP protection (legitimate interest): we process the data necessary to prevent and handle violations of law/rights (e.g., technical logs, account IDs, reported URLs), retaining them for the time strictly necessary to handle the report.
The security of customer data is our priority; we therefore process only the data strictly necessary to operate the site. Automatically collected information is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and to establish statistics regarding site usage. This statistical information is not aggregated in a way that identifies any specific user of the system.
For minors under 14, processing of data (including geolocation) takes place only with the consent of a parent/guardian, which can be withdrawn at any time by contacting aaa411@hotmail.it. Without consent, features involving personal data processing are not available.
You may visit the site without revealing information by which you could be personally identified. If, however, you wish to use certain features of the site, or use the site, you may need to provide additional details by filling out a form; you may be required to provide personal data such as email, first name, last name, city of residence, organization and phone number. You may choose not to provide personal data; however, this may prevent you from using some features of the site (e.g., contacting us directly from the site). Users who are unsure which information is mandatory can contact us at aaa411@hotmail.it.
When you click “Save my location” we store lat/long, accuracy, date/time and a note. Locations are private by default. If you choose “Make public”, we show an approximate location (coarse) to other users. Legal basis: performance of the service (private part) and CONSENT for the public part, which can be withdrawn at any time. Retention: as long as you have the account or until you delete it; in the absence of activity we may remove after 24 months. Maps may load resources from third parties (e.g., OpenStreetMap/CDN) that receive the device’s IP. Rights: access, rectification, erasure, portability. Contact: [email].
Geolocation and minors
When the user presses “Save my location” we store lat/lon, accuracy, date/time and note.
Legal basis: performance of the service for private saving; consent for public publication of the location (revocable at any time).
For users under 14, public sharing of the location must take place with the consent and supervision of a parent/guardian.
Public locations are shown in an approximate form (reduced precision).
No continuous tracking: the position is sent only when the user presses the button.
Retention: until deletion by the user or account closure; in the absence of activity we may remove after 24 months.
