01
Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data that you provide to us directly, and a limited amount of technical data collected automatically when you visit this website.
Data you provide may include your name, company, job title, email address, telephone number, postal address and any other detail you choose to include when you contact us about a shipment or enquiry.
Data collected automatically may include your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, the pages you view and the dates and times of your visits, together with information gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
Where you give us personal data relating to another person, for example a consignee, a colleague or a counterparty to a shipment, you confirm that you are entitled to provide it and that the individual concerned has been informed of how it will be used.
02
How We Use Data
We use personal data to:
- respond to your enquiries and correspond with you;
- provide, coordinate and administer our shipping and logistics services;
- manage our relationship with you and with our partners and suppliers;
- operate, maintain, secure and improve this website;
- carry out analytics so that we understand how the website is used;
- send you information about our services, where you have asked to receive it or where we are otherwise permitted to do so;
- assess applications where you apply to work with us;
- meet our legal, regulatory and compliance obligations, including sanctions screening; and
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims and otherwise protect our legitimate business interests.
Where we send marketing communications by email, every message includes a means of unsubscribing, and you can opt out at any time by contacting us.
03
Disclosure of Information
We may share personal data with our affiliates and with service providers who act on our behalf, including carriers, port and terminal operators, customs brokers, payment processors, IT and hosting providers and professional advisers.
We may also disclose personal data to government, regulatory, customs or law-enforcement authorities where required to do so by law, where necessary to investigate suspected unlawful activity, or where necessary to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others.
If our business or any part of it is sold, merged or reorganised, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring party as part of that transaction. We do not sell personal data.
04
Legal Basis for Processing
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent; the performance of a contract with you or steps taken at your request before entering into one; compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, promoting and improving our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Non-essential cookies are set only where you have consented on your first visit, and you may change that choice at any time.
05
Data Protection
We maintain technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. These include internal policies, access controls, network protections and encryption of data in transit.
No method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your personal data we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
06
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for business users and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen years of age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at info@kymishipping.com and we will delete it.
07
Third Party Websites
This website may link to websites operated by others. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of those websites, and this policy applies only to personal data collected by Kymi Shipping through our own website. We encourage you to read the privacy notice of any website you visit through a link from here.

You may request a copy of the safeguards we use by contacting us.
09
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet our legal, accounting, tax and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements. When personal data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymise it.
