MA Marine Consultants is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data.

​

1. Types of personal data that we collect

​

You may give us information about you by using the website or by registering for and attending courses/conferences, or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise. This also includes information you provide when you sign up to our mailing lists to receive updates.

 

We may collect the following information from you:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Address

• Organisation, occupation

• Payment info

 

All information provided to MA Marine Consultants will be processed in accordance with the UK data protection legislation.

 

If you notify us by e-mail or other written communication that any of the information which we hold about you is incorrect or misleading, we will take prompt action to correct or amend the information.

​

2. The ways we use the information

​

We will use the information to communicate with you, but also to measure and understand the effectiveness of the content we serve to you and others.

 

If you provide consent, we may also use the data to keep you informed of our training courses, conferences or any other services.

 

We may also use aggregate anonymous information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us to develop our website and our services.

​

We may from time to time appoint service providers, such as IT support, printer/copier service managers and other such parties, to provide services to us (“data processors”). This may involve disclosing your personal data to them to enable it to be processed for a purpose which is consistent with this privacy policy. We will ensure that any appointments of data processors on our behalf will comply with the Data Protection legislation.

​

We may be forced to disclose information by the government or other law enforcement agencies or in connection with the investigation of unlawful activities. These, therefore, are exceptions to our policy of maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information.

​

Except as explained above, we will not disclose your personal data to any third parties for any other purpose.

​

You can change your communication preferences at any time by contacting us directly.

 

3. Cookies and other information-gathering technologies

 

Your internet browser has the in-built facility for storing small files, “cookies”, that hold information which allows a website to recognise you.

​

We use analytics cookies to collect information on how visitors interact with our website and to enable us to maintain and develop it. The data gathered, which includes details of the number of visitors to the site and the pages they access, is in anonymous form. It does not identify individual users.

 

4. Security of your personal data

​​

The security of your personal data is important to us. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

5. Your rights

​

You have the right of access to your records and confirmation of the data we hold. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please send an email to mamc@mamarineconsultants.com. 

 

You can also remove your consent at any time should you wish to stop email or contact for marketing purposes. Please send an email to mamc@mamarineconsultants.com. 

 

6. Links to other websites

​​

Our service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

​

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

 

7. Changes to this Privacy Policy

​

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

​​​

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
