This Privacy Policy explains how SHIPFINANCE.GR ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use this website, and the rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Greek data-protection law.
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.
We use a limited number of trusted processors and services to operate the site:
Where a processor is located outside the EU/EEA, transfers are made under appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
We use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits and understand which sections are useful. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
You have the right to: access your data; correct inaccurate data; request erasure ("right to be forgotten"); restrict or object to processing; data portability; and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email info@shipfinance.gr and we will respond within one month.
As our establishment is in Cyprus, our lead supervisory authority is the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (Cyprus), and you have the right to lodge a complaint with it. If you are located in Greece, you may instead lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA / Αρχή Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα) at www.dpa.gr.
Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email info@shipfinance.gr at any time to be removed.
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS encryption in transit and restricted access to stored data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This site is intended for shipping-finance and maritime professionals and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted on this page.
