Data privacy is of the highest priority for the management of the Zethos Shipping Project (currently in the process of being formed). The use of our corporate internet pages is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use specific corporate services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
1. Name and Address of the Controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:
Achim OrlikowskiProject Principal / Corporate Relations
Email: info@zethos-shipping.com
Website: zethos-shipping.com
2. Data Processing via the Corporate Contact Form
When you submit an inquiry through our digital contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored on our secure email server infrastructure. This includes:
- First Name & Last Name (Identity authentication)
- Email Address (Direct communication routing)
- Subject / Corporate Affiliation Selection (Allocation analysis)
- Your individual message text
Legal Basis for Processing: The processing of data entered into the contact form is based exclusively on the data subject's explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke this consent at any time with future effect by sending a simple email to our controller.
Data Retention & Erasure: Personal data collected via the contact form will be stored exclusively for the duration necessary to handle and process the specific inquiry. Once the underlying purpose has been fully satisfied (e.g., your VVIP investment query or chartering request has been resolved), the personal data will be completely deleted from our active communication channels, unless statutory commercial or tax law archiving duties dictate longer storage periods.
3. SSL/TLS Encryption Security Measures
To guard your sensitive operational metrics and personal information against unauthorized intercept actions, this site utilizes active SSL or TLS encryption technology (HTTPS). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol displayed in your web browser bar. Data transmitted via this active framework cannot be intercepted by third-party vectors.
4. Rights of the Data Subject
Under the statutory framework of the GDPR, you hold full authority to exercise the following rights regarding your personal records at any time and free of charge:
- Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): Request clear confirmation and transcripts of all your stored data blocks.
- Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): Demand immediate updates to incomplete or flawed datasets.
- Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten (Art. 17 GDPR): Request complete data extraction and purging.
- Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): Receive data records in machine-readable standard file formats.
