        Fields marked as mandatory are necessary in order to process the request. If the user does not provide this information, the Company may be unable to handle the enquiry properly.<\/p>\n

        The user must provide information that is true, accurate, complete and up to date.<\/p>\n

        Where the user provides personal data relating to third parties, the user confirms that they are authorised to do so and undertakes to provide those third parties with the information contained in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n

        2.8. Commercial Communications and B2B Professional Contacts<\/h4>\n

        The Company may maintain professional communications with business contacts at companies, entities and organisations operating in the maritime, shipbuilding, finance, insurance, logistics or related services sectors, provided that such communications relate to the Company\u2019s professional activity and are reasonably expected in the context of a B2B professional relationship.<\/p>\n

        Where the Company sends commercial communications by electronic means, it will do so in accordance with applicable law.<\/p>\n

        Recipients may object at any time to receiving commercial or marketing communications by using the procedure indicated in each communication or by writing to [EMAIL_PRIVACIDAD_PENDIENTE_DE_CONFIRMAR].<\/p>\n

        2.9. Microsoft 365 and Other Technology Services<\/h4>\n

        In the course of its business, the Company uses Microsoft 365 and other technology services for email, document storage, collaboration, video meetings, IT security, technical support, web hosting and related operational needs.<\/p>\n

        Where these providers have access to personal data, they may process that data on the Company\u2019s behalf and only for the purpose of providing the relevant services.<\/p>\n

        The Company works with providers that apply appropriate confidentiality, security and data-protection safeguards.<\/p>\n

        2.10. Recipients of Personal Data<\/h4>\n

          Personal data will not be sold to third parties.<\/p>\n

          2.11. International Data Transfers<\/h4>\n

          Because shipbroking and maritime activity are inherently international, the Company may maintain professional communications with contacts located both within and outside the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n

          The use of international technology services, including Microsoft 365 and other cloud, email or communication tools, may also involve the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n

          Where personal data is transferred to countries that do not benefit from an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the Company will ensure that the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with the GDPR. These may include, where applicable, the European Commission\u2019s standard contractual clauses and any additional contractual, technical or organisational measures required under applicable law.<\/p>\n

            \n\u2022 Right to Withdraw Consent:<\/strong> to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            To exercise these rights, data subjects may send an email to [EMAIL_PRIVACIDAD_PENDIENTE_DE_CONFIRMAR], indicating the right they wish to exercise and providing the information necessary for identity verification, where required.<\/p>\n

            Data subjects also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Espa\u00f1ola de Protecci\u00f3n de Datos, AEPD) if they consider that the processing of their personal data does not comply with applicable data protection legislation.<\/p>\n

            These measures are designed having regard to the state of the art, the nature of the personal data processed, the risks involved and the context in which the processing takes place.<\/p>\n

            However, no system connected to the internet can be regarded as completely secure.<\/p>\n

            Users should act diligently, avoid sending unnecessary confidential information through unsecured channels and notify the Company of any security incident of which they become aware.<\/p>\n

            2.15. Minors<\/h4>\n

            The website is intended for professional users and is not directed at minors.<\/p>\n

            The Company does not knowingly collect personal data from minors through the website.<\/p>\n

            If the Company becomes aware that personal data relating to a minor has been received without the required legal authorisation, it will take reasonable steps to delete it.<\/p>\n

            2.16. Updates to This Privacy Policy<\/h4>\n

            The Company may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, organisational or business changes.<\/p>\n
