Privacy Policy

Plain-language starting template — have it reviewed by legal counsel (and tailored for GDPR/CCPA) before launch.

What we collect

Account details (name, email), profile information you provide (position, experience, certifications, photos), content you post, messages you send, and basic usage and device data. Businesses provide company details.

How we use it

To operate the service — show your profile and posts, match crew with jobs, deliver messages and notifications, process payments, and keep the platform safe.

What others see

Your profile, posts, and (for crew) details shown to members are visible per the product's rules. References and contact details are limited to paying members. Do not post information you don't want shared.

Third parties

We use service providers for hosting, image storage, payments, and email. They process data only to provide those services.

Your rights

Depending on your location (e.g. EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA), you may request access, correction, deletion, or export of your data, and object to certain processing. Email privacy@maritime.example to exercise these rights.

Retention & security

We keep data while your account is active and as needed for legal and operational reasons, and use reasonable measures to protect it. No system is perfectly secure.
