Marine Feral determines the purposes and essential means of the processing activities described in this Policy.
Podia primarily acts as a technical service provider and data processor for website hosting, customer accounts, course delivery, orders and electronic communications. Podia may also process certain data for its own obligations and purposes in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
Depending on how you use the Website, the following categories of data may be collected:
– identity and contact information, including your first name, last name, email address and postal address where required;
– order and billing information, including the Product purchased, amount, date, country, postal code, payment status and order number;
– account and course usage information, including login details, connections, progress, lessons viewed or completed, comments and certificates;
– newsletter information, including subscription, chosen language, preferences, unsubscription and interactions with emails;
– information provided when contacting us, requesting support or exercising your rights;
– technical information, including IP address, device type, browser, pages viewed, connection logs and cookie-related information;
– any other information you voluntarily choose to provide.
Complete payment card information is collected and processed directly by payment providers. Marine Feral does not have access to your complete card number or security code.
Data is primarily collected:
– directly from you when you complete a form, place an order, create an account, post a comment or contact Marine Feral;
– automatically when you browse the Website or use the course area;
– from Podia and payment providers when they confirm a transaction or provide information required to fulfil an order.
Creating and managing accounts, processing orders, confirming payments, providing access, issuing certificates and offering Product-related support.

Sending content, news and offers to which you have chosen to subscribe.
Legal basis: your consent. You may withdraw it at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in each email.
Emails required to fulfil an order, protect your account or provide access to a Product are not marketing communications and may be sent on the basis of the contract or a legal obligation.

Legal basis: Marine Feral’s legitimate interest in protecting its business, content and users.
Retaining information necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Legal basis: legitimate interests and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation.
Placing or reading analytics, functionality or advertising cookies where they are not strictly necessary.
Legal basis: your consent, where required.
Information identified as required is necessary to process an order, create access, respond to a request or provide the relevant Service.
If you do not provide this information, the corresponding order or request may not be processed.
Information requested for newsletter subscriptions is optional. Not providing it only prevents us from sending the communications to which you could otherwise have chosen to subscribe.
Data may be accessed by Marine Feral and by service providers to the extent necessary for them to provide their services, including:
– Podia Labs, Inc., for website hosting, accounts, courses, orders and electronic communications;
– Stripe and PayPal, when offered, for secure payment processing;
– Cookie Script, for managing cookie preferences;
– Cloudflare, particularly for website security and the prevention of abusive automated activity;
– technical providers used by Podia to operate its platform.
Data may also be disclosed to administrative or judicial authorities where required by law.
Marine Feral does not sell or rent the personal data of visitors, subscribers or customers.
Some service providers, including Podia, Stripe, PayPal and their own processors, may process data in the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area.
Where required, these transfers rely on a mechanism recognised under the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent contractual safeguards.
Podia provides a Data Processing Addendum for its European customers.
Further information about the applicable safeguards may be requested by emailing marine@marineferal.com.
Personal data is retained for a period appropriate to its purpose:
– data required to provide access to purchased content: for the stated access period and thereafter for as long as required to comply with legal obligations or defend legal rights;
– order and billing records: ten years where they constitute accounting documents;
– newsletter and marketing data: until consent is withdrawn or for a maximum of three years after your last active contact;
– information required to record your objection to marketing: for at least three years;
– contact and support requests: for the time required to process them and for up to three years after closure where retention remains useful;
– data relating to a dispute: for the duration of the proceedings and applicable limitation periods;
– technical and security logs: for the period strictly necessary for security and operation of the Service, according to the relevant providers’ settings.
At the end of these periods, data is deleted, anonymised or archived where retention remains legally required.
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies required for operation, authentication, security and remembering certain choices and, where you consent, for analytics or other features.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to the operation of the Website or the provision of a Service expressly requested by you.
Non-essential cookies must only be used after obtaining your consent where required. You may accept, reject or change your preferences through the cookie management tool available on the Website.
Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent general access to the Website. Disabling certain necessary cookies may, however, prevent some features from working, including access to the course area.

– rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
– erasure;
