Gdynia Maritime Dialogue Privacy Policy

Data Controller and Contact

The controller of your personal data is Gdynia Maritime Dialogue, located at ul. Świętojańska 45 in Gdynia. We operate in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. At GMD, we bet on clear rules, which is why we care about the security of every piece of information you provide. This document explains how we handle data collected during your visit to the site. Our approach is simple: facts and concrete protection of your interests count. If you want to ask about your data, write to [email protected] or call +48 58 620 11 73. Your data is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes. We use it exclusively for reliable handling of your inquiries about charter negotiations or port audits.

What Data We Collect

We collect only the information needed to conduct hard discussions about maritime law. When you use our forms, you usually provide your name and e-mail address. Sometimes in the message body, you describe a specific demurrage dispute or terminal access issue. In addition, our system automatically records standard server logs. These include:

  • Your IP address,
  • type of browser used,
  • date and time of entry to the site,
  • time spent analyzing our offers.

This technical data is used solely for the correct display of content and ensuring service stability. We do not profile your behavior or create complicated marketing databases. We focus on hard charter terms, not on tracking web users.

Purpose of Data Processing

The main purpose of collecting data is to fulfill your request for collaboration. We use your e-mail to send a contract audit quote or arrange a 15-minute call. Server log data helps us ensure site security against external attacks. If you decide on full negotiations, your data will enter our client database to issue an invoice and fulfill the agreement. In our quayside work, time and precision count, so we limit processing to the necessary minimum. We do not send unnecessary spam. Once a month, we only send a port bulletin, provided you give clear prior consent. Your privacy is as important to us as the integrity of a maritime contract.

Your Rights

You have the right to know what is happening with your data. At any time, you can ask for insight into the information you provided us. If an error appears in your name or company name, we will fix it without unnecessary talk. You also have the right to request full removal of data from our database, provided accounting regulations do not prevent it. At GMD, we respect your choice. If you withdraw consent for contact, we will stop sending any messages. All these requests are fulfilled efficiently, usually within a few business days. A short e-mail to our office in Gdynia is enough. Remember that we ensure access to your data is limited to 3 designated employees responsible for contracts and document analysis.

Cookies and Security

We use cookies to make the site work faster and more efficiently. These are small text files that help remember your preferences. You can disable them in your browser settings, which will not block access to our market analyses. We use an SSL certificate that encrypts the connection between your computer and our server. This ensures that form data does not fall into the wrong hands. We take security seriously because we know that in maritime law, discretion is fundamental. Our systems are regularly updated, and physical access to computers at the office on Świętojańska is strictly controlled. We believe that hard security rules are the foundation of trust in quayside negotiations.
