Privacy Policy

‍

SeaMarine Limited (UK) (“we”, “our”, “us”) is the data controller for this website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in accordance with UK law (UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018​gov.uk). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and your rights in relation to that data.

‍

Information We Collect

When you contact us through our website (for example, via a contact or inquiry form), we collect personal information you provide, including:

  • Name and Business Name: to identify you and your organisation.
  • Contact Details: email address and telephone number to reply to your inquiry.
  • Message Content: any information you write in the inquiry form.

We may also collect technical information automatically through cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies and Tracking below), such as your IP address, browser type, and usage data for analytics purposes.

‍

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes (and only when we have a lawful basis, such as your consent or our legitimate business interest​termly.io):

  • Responding to Inquiries: To reply to your questions and provide the information or services you request. This is necessary to perform our services or fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
  • Business Operations: To manage our business relationship (for example, evaluating and following up on sales leads, or providing quotes).
  • Marketing Communications: If you opt in, we use your email to send you marketing emails or newsletters about our products and services. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time​termly.io.
  • Analytics and Improvement: To analyze how our website is used (for example, using Google Analytics) so we can improve our services and your experience​cookiebot.com. This is based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our website.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations (for example, to keep records for tax or audit purposes) or to protect our legal rights.

We process your personal information only when necessary and with a valid legal reason (such as your consent or our legitimate interests)​termly.io. We will not use your data for purposes beyond those described above without your consent.

‍

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality and collect analytics/marketing data​cookiebot.com. Cookies are small data files placed on your device that help us understand usage patterns and remember preferences. We use:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for basic site functions (e.g. form submissions, session management). You cannot opt out of these because the site would not function properly without them.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics (or similar) cookies to distinguish users and sessions and track website usage​cookiebot.com. These cookies collect technical information (such as pages visited, session duration) in aggregate form and do not identify you personally. This helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • Marketing/Advertising Cookies: We may use third-party cookies to help tailor marketing and advertising to you (for example, through targeted ads on social media). These cookies are only set if you consent to marketing cookies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings or via the cookie banner on our website. If you disable cookies, some features (especially analytics and advertising personalization) may not work fully.

‍

Third-Party Services

We share your personal data with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf:

  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google is a third-party analytics provider. For example, Google Analytics sets cookies (like _ga) to distinguish unique users​cookiebot.com. Google’s policies on data collection and use can be found on their website, and they offer GDPR-compliant options (such as anonymizing IP addresses).
  • Email Marketing (e.g. Mailchimp): If you subscribe to marketing emails, we use a service like Mailchimp to send newsletters. Mailchimp (the Rocket Science Group LLC) is certified under the EU-US and UK-US Data Privacy Frameworks for data transfer​mailchimp.com. This means personal data transferred from the UK to Mailchimp (in the US) is protected by approved safeguards. You should review Mailchimp’s privacy policy for details.

These providers use your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for other purposes. We ensure that appropriate data protection agreements and safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or privacy frameworks) are in place with all our third-party vendors.

‍

Data Storage and Security

Your personal data is stored securely on servers located in the UK. We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse​termly.io. For example, we use secure (encrypted) connections and restrict access to personal data to authorized personnel only.

Despite these measures, no system is completely risk-free. If you have any questions about our security practices or wish to know more about how we protect your data, please contact us as shown below.

‍

Data Retention

We keep personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected​termly.io. Specifically, we retain contact and inquiry information for up to 5 years from the date of collection or until your inquiry is resolved, whichever comes later. This retention period reflects our legitimate interest in maintaining records of our business communications and is consistent with legal requirements. Once that time has passed (or earlier, if we determine the data is no longer needed), we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data​termly.io​termly.io.

‍

Your Data Protection Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have several rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to:

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can request that we delete your personal data (where we are not required to keep it for legal reasons).
  • Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit how we use your data (for example, while disputing its accuracy).
  • Data Portability: You can ask for a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format or have us transfer it to another service.
  • Object: You can object to our processing of your data for certain purposes (for example, direct marketing). If you object to marketing emails, we will stop sending them.

These rights are summarized in UK GDPR as including the rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, and port your data​termly.io. You can also withdraw consent to processing at any time (e.g. by unsubscribing from marketing emails​termly.io). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see below). We will consider and respond to your request in accordance with UK law.

If you believe that we are not handling your data in compliance with data protection laws, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – the UK supervisory authority for data protection​termly.io.
