Privacy Policy

At Unimor Shipping Agency, we respect your privacy and handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the EU GDPR where relevant. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have.

Personal data you provide to us

You may choose to submit personal data to us through our online job application form. This information may include your name, contact details, nationality, employment history, certificates, availability date, and any other details you enter or upload (such as a CV or covering comments).

We collect and process this data solely for the purpose of assessing your suitability for current or future vacancies and, where appropriate, contacting you regarding suitable opportunities.

The lawful basis for this processing is your explicit submission of the information for recruitment consideration and our legitimate interest in evaluating candidates for operational and crewing requirements.

How we use your application data

The data you provide via the application form is used only for:

• reviewing your qualifications and experience,
• verifying your readiness and certification where relevant,
• contacting you if your profile matches our needs,
• maintaining an internal candidate record for potential future openings.

We do not use this data for marketing purposes. We never sell or trade your personal data.

How long we retain your data

We may retain your application and CV for a limited period to assess you for current and upcoming positions. This helps us avoid asking you to reapply for each voyage or contract. If you would like us to remove your details sooner, you may request deletion at any time (see “Your rights” below).

Technical data and cookies

When you browse our website without submitting an application, we do not attempt to identify you personally. We may collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and general usage data in order to maintain website security, monitor performance, and improve content.

This technical data is used only in aggregated or security-related form. You can adjust your browser settings to restrict cookies or similar technologies; however, doing so may affect certain site features.

Sharing your data

Your data may be accessed internally by authorised team members involved in recruitment, coordination, or compliance. Where necessary, limited information may be shared with trusted service providers (for example, secure hosting or communication platforms) strictly for the purposes described above.

Any such third parties are contractually required to protect your data and to process it only under our instructions. We do not permit them to use your data for their own purposes.

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the information you provide against unauthorised access, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

Your rights under data protection law

Under data protection legislation, you have the right to request:

• access to the personal data we hold about you,
• rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data,
• erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”) where applicable,
• restriction of processing in certain circumstances,
• objection to processing where we rely on legitimate interests,
• a copy of the data you have provided to us, in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights or to ask a question about how your data is handled, please contact us using the details provided on our Contact page. For security reasons, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if our recruitment processes change or if legal requirements are amended. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
