Privacy Policy

Accounts and email verification

Seafarers Recruitment processes account and professional information to operate maritime profiles, company profiles, job applications, vacancy management and recruitment communication. New seafarer and company accounts must confirm access to the email address used during registration through a single-use link that expires after 24 hours. Only a hashed verification token and its expiry time are stored.

Public Crew Directory

An email-verified seafarer chooses whether to show a standardized professional summary in the public Crew Directory. Public summaries may include a generated profile identifier, current rank, nationality, years of experience, vessel preferences and availability. Names, contact details, dates of birth, free-text content, document numbers, uploaded files and references are never included in the public directory.

Public Company Directory

An email-verified company may choose to display its company name, company type, general location, website, description and public vacancies in the Verified Companies directory. Registration numbers, account-holder names, email addresses and phone numbers are not displayed publicly. Email verification confirms control of the submitted email address; it is not a legal, regulatory or financial endorsement of the company.

Employer access to complete CVs

A seafarer separately chooses whether email-verified maritime employers may view the complete professional CV and make recruitment contact. Access may be removed if an account is misused, and subscription or additional verification controls may be introduced later.

Marine documents

Passport, Seaman’s Book, COC, GMDSS, medical, STCW, endorsement, visa and other marine-document information is used only for legitimate recruitment and verification. Uploaded files are stored in a protected server area and are delivered through authenticated, permission-checked requests.

Applications and communication

When a seafarer applies to a vacancy, the vacancy owner receives access to that candidate’s CV and application. Eligible employers may contact seafarers through the platform. Account, verification and recruitment notifications may also be sent by email. Application status and account notifications are retained in the relevant dashboard.

Retention and rights

We do not sell personal information. Data is retained only as reasonably necessary for recruitment, account security, legal and operational purposes. Users may edit profile visibility in their account and may request access, correction or deletion through the website contact form.

Cookies and contact

The website may use essential, security and preference cookies. Optional technologies are controlled through the cookie settings. For privacy enquiries, use the secure Contact page.
