For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are the data controller.

Company-wide, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy in the processing of your personal data. We pay special consideration to this matter, both with regards to processing data collected or provided via this website, or that you provide voluntarily to the company, as well as generally in the context of business processes as per our Corporate Data Protection.. Any and all specific personal data collected via this website, or that you provide voluntarily to the company, is done so as seen and voluntarily by you as the user, for instance in the context of a job application or general business enquiry. The type of data collected may then be held by us on paper and electronically.

A. GENERALLY ON THIS WEBSITE

This website collects only basic data for a few specific purposes, including:

· Processing unsolicited job applications for careers at sea and ashore

· General enquiries with regards to our services

· Standard statistical information on user website activity for analytical purposes to help enhance content and the overall user experience on this website.

B. DURING THE RECRUITMENT / EMPLOYMENT PROCESS

More specifically to the recruitment process, the ANQOR “Job Positions” sections requires you to initially provide essential personal data in order to submit an unsolicited job application, including your name, email, rank/job position. This data is necessary in order to allow us to process the enquiry for its intended use, i.e. jobs at sea / jobs ashore, whilst meeting our legal obligations as a maritime employer to identify, qualify and administer the recruitment process. Subsequently, some of this data, basically rank, recruitment location and the survey on how you heard about our Company is also used for internal analytical purposes to help improve our services as a seafarer recruitment company and manning agency, and more generally as a crew and ship manager, as well as to enhance the overall user experience on this website.

To complete an application of interest for a job at sea or job ashore, you must also upload your CV/Resume. However, the website DOES NOT actually log or store the CV or any information within, but rather sends it securely, together with all other necessary details, by email over Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to the relevant recruitment team to be actioned accordingly.
