What personal information we gather about our customers?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your online experience at www.shippingcrews.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our service features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, fulfilling recruitment requests, customizing future online services for you, improving our website features, and communication with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites, we sometimes use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our website.

E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more productive to improve service and your shopping experience, we sometimes send you newsletters of our services and products, notifications of changes to our policies, and order confirmations. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, other than order notifications and receipts, please adjust your "Subscription" preferences by logging into your account.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifier text files that we transfer to your computers hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of favorites in your account between visits.

Does Pontoporos Ltd. Share the Information It Receives?

We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. At no time do we ever provide your account contact or payment information to any third party vendor, associate or service provider unless absolutely necessary in order to complete your transaction and order. In the case of seafarers this means that we only provide your registration info in order to provide you with the recruitment services we describe on our site.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for purchasing of our products or services. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer by clicking the "log off" link located in the side menu.

As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers, and credit card information.

Since www.shippingcrews.com is a business recruitment site, we give you the option of registering with us and supplying us with personal information such as your CV details and your qualification documents. This information is stored in our database and is only accessed by maritime companies for hiring purposes. We safeguard this information according to our strictest standards of security and confidentiality. We limit the collection and use of client information to the minimum we require to deliver to our clients’ superior services which include advising our users about our products, services and other opportunities, and to administer our business.

Automatic Information

For security purposes Pontoporos Ltd sometimes collects and analyzes the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, and to our website. This is done for your protection for tracking purposes in the unfortunate event that someone gains access to your personal or financial information and opens an account, or makes purchases under your name.
