Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22/10/2025

1. Introduction

Seascope Maritime Training (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information relating to individuals (“you”, “your”) who visit our website at https://seascopemaritimetraining.com (the “Website”).
We operate in the UK and EU, and our data-processing is governed by the UK GDPR and (where applicable) the EU GDPR, along with the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our processing of your personal data, you may contact us at: [email protected].

3. What information we collect

Because you do not provide user accounts, our processing is limited. The types of information we collect include:

  • Technical/usage information automatically collected when you visit the Website, such as your IP address (or anonymised version thereof), browser type, operating system, referral URL, pages visited, date/time stamps.
  • We use cookies, web-beacons and similar tracking technologies (via Google Analytics and potentially other third-party services) to gather aggregate and behavioural data about how you use the Website (see our separate Cookies Policy).
  • If you contact us through a contact form or email (for example via “Contact Us”), you may provide personal data such as your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and any message content.

We do not allow users to register an account or maintain a user profile on the Website, and we do not collect or store other categories of personal data (e.g., sensitive special category data) via the Website.

4. Why we process your data & our lawful basis

Purpose of processing:

  • To monitor website usage and performance (via analytics) so we can improve the Website and our services.
  • To support our marketing efforts (e.g., understand how users found us, which pages they visited).
  • To respond to your enquiries if you contact us (via contact form/email) and to manage our communications with you.

Lawful basis for processing:
We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR / EU GDPR:

  • Our legitimate interests in running and improving our Website, understanding user behaviour, and marketing our services (provided your rights and interests do not override those interests).
  • Performance of a contract or taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (if you contact us about a course and we respond).
  • Where you have given consent (if we ask you explicitly for consent for any non-essential cookies or tracking) — in which case you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Recipients and transfers of your data

  • We use Google Analytics (operated by Google LLC) to process analytics data. Google may transfer data to other countries (including the United States) where its servers are located. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) or Google’s own adequacy/transfer mechanisms.
  • We may share information with other service providers (such as hosting providers, IT service providers or marketing tools) who process data on our behalf as processors. We require those providers to implement appropriate security measures.
  • We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

6. Retention of your data

We keep your personal data for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

  • Analytics / aggregate data: we retain it for a period consistent with our business needs (e.g., up to [insert number] years) but may anonymise or aggregate sooner.
  • Contact/enquiry data: we retain personal enquiry communications for as long as required to deal with the enquiry, and for a period of [insert period; e.g., 2-3 years] thereafter, unless you ask us to delete it earlier.
    If you wish us to delete your information, please contact us (see Section 9).

7. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • The right to be informed about how we use your personal data (this policy fulfils that).
  • The right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to rectification — if your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it.
  • The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.
  • The right to restriction of processing.
  • The right to object to processing (for example if we process data based on legitimate interests, you may object).
  • The right to data portability (in certain circumstances) when processing is based on consent or contract and uses automated means.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time (if processing is based on consent) without affecting lawfulness before withdrawal.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the contact details above. We may ask you for appropriate credentials to verify your identity.

8. Cookies and similar tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to track website usage and behaviour, primarily through Google Analytics. These tools help us to understand how users interact with our Website, how they arrived, and how we can improve the experience.
When you first visit the Website you will be prompted to accept or reject non-essential cookies (consistent with UK / EU cookie laws). You can also disable cookies via your browser settings, though this may affect your experience.
For more information, see our separate Cookies Policy.

9. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These include (but are not limited to) encryption, access controls and regular review of our systems and processes.
While we endeavour to protect your data, no system is totally secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data in transit or storage.

10. International transfers

As noted above, some processing of your data may involve transfer to countries outside the UK and/or EU (for example via Google Analytics). Where such transfers take place, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses, binding corporate rules or an adequacy decision) to protect your data.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business or legal/regulatory changes. We will post the updated version on the Website and update the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to check this Policy periodically.
