We also describe the measures we take to protect the security of the information and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. In some cases, where applicable, we may ask you to sign a separate form of a letter ("Data Subject Consent Letter") to indicate your explicit consent to our processing of your personal data for the purposes set out in the Policy. However, please note that the absence of (i) such a request, or (ii) a Data Subject Consent Letter signed by you, is not intended to be conclusive of this issue and we shall be entitled to conclude that, by visiting us at any of our approved websites, or agreeing to receive Services from us, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in the Policy.

Data Retention and Transfer of Data to Third Parties
The Shore Porters Society provides Services worldwide so to perform these Services it may be necessary to transfer personal information to other countries. The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") or Switzerland. It may also be processed by business partners or sub-contractors who are engaged in, among other things, providing you and/or your family with the Services (as applicable), the processing of your personal details and the provision of support services. Assurances of adequate protection to Personal Data are obtained whether it be by Vendor Contracts, Data Processing Agreements, Privacy Shield or Model Contracts.
By submitting your data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. We use encryption when we transfer certain personal information.
The security of Your Data is important to us. We are committed to protecting the information we collect. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide, or we collect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.
We store Your Personal Data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is was collected unless otherwise required or authorised by Applicable Data Protection Law. We take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify Your Data if required by law or if Your Data is no longer required for the purpose for which we collected it.
In some instances, the Shore Porters Society is required to retain personal information in accordance with the law such as Tax and Audit purposes and may, therefore, be retained for an additional period.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect Your Data, we cannot guarantee the security of Your Data transmitted to our websites or other digital assets which are in the Public Domain, any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access in accordance with industry standards.
Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under Applicable Data Protection Law, you have certain rights regarding the personal information we maintain about you. We also offer you certain choices about what personal information we collect from you, how we use that information and how we communicate with you.
You can choose not to provide personal information to us. You also may refrain from submitting information directly to us. However, if you do not provide Your Data when requested, you and/or your family may not be able to benefit from the Services (as applicable) and we may not be able to provide you with information about our products, services, and promotions.
To the extent provided by applicable law, you may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us, or object at any time on legitimate grounds, to the processing of Your Data. We will apply your preferences going forward. In some circumstances, withdrawing your consent to our use or disclosure of Your Data will mean that you cannot take advantage of certain Services.
Subject to applicable Data Protection Law, you may have the right to obtain confirmation that we hold personal information about you, request access to and receive information about the personal information we maintain about you, receive copies of the personal information we maintain about you (paper or electronic means for portability), update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information, object to the automated processing of your personal information including profiling, and have the information blocked, restricted, anonymised or deleted, as appropriate. The right to access personal information may be limited in some circumstances by local law requirements. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
You have the right to ask us not to process Your Data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting Your Data) if we intend to use Your Data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose Your Data to any third party for such purposes.
You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by advising us before we collect Your Data. You may also exercise this right at any time by contacting us.
Our websites or other digital assets may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers, and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own Privacy Policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
If you provide us with any information or material relating to another individual, you should make sure that the sharing with us and our further use as described to you from time to time is in line with applicable laws, so, for example, you should duly inform that individual on the processing of their personal data and obtain their consent, as may be necessary under applicable Data Protection Laws.
Access to Information
The Act gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws. For example, if you are based in the UK, this will usually be the DP Act 1998 and EU Directive 95/46/EC and from 25th May 2018 GDPR regulation / DP Act 2018. Any request should be made in writing and the best way for you to do so is to contact us at the address stated below, as we must be able to identify the person making the request. Due to technological constraints and/or information security considerations, it may be inappropriate to use social media to supply information in response to any request by you for access to information, and so please provide an alternative delivery address for our response.
We may reject requests that are repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, risk the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical. In some cases where a request is excessive or unfounded a reasonable fee may be charged. In an event where a request is rejected, we will provide you with a reason as to why. If you are not satisfied, please refer to the section on Complaints.
Data Security and Integrity
The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are very important to us. We have implemented controls to protect data from unauthorised access, modification, disclosure, and misuse. We encrypt our data in transit and constantly review new technologies to protect your personal data. Please bear in mind that despite our best efforts to safeguard your data, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
Complaints
If you wish to make a complaint about how your personal data is being processed or how your complaint is being handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority and Shore Porters Data Protection Officer, see “How to Contact Us”.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
Any changes we make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on our website(s) and, where appropriate, notified to you by E-Mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our Privacy Policy.
