EU GDPR (European Union General Data Protection Regulation) came into force on May 25th 2018, and we need your permission to store & continue to maintain your contact information and personal information (as advised in the part Further information) on our servers.

 

UNO Maritime Ltd are committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process, and to provide a compliant and consistent approach to data protection. We have always had a robust and effective data protection program in place which complies with existing law and abides by the data protection principles. However, we recognise our obligations in updating and expanding this program to meet the demands of the GDPR and the Norwegian “Lov om behandling av personopplysninger (personopplysningsloven)”. UNO Maritime Ltd are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our remit and in developing a data protection regime that is effective, fit for purpose and demonstrates an understanding of, and appreciation for the new Regulation. Our preparation and objectives for GDPR compliance have been summarised in this statement and include the development and implementation of new data protection roles, policies, procedures, controls and measures to ensure maximum and ongoing compliance.

 

 

What is EU GDPR? And how do UNO Maritime Ltd comply?

GDPR is the EU's way of giving individuals, whether they are prospects, customers, subcontractors or employees more overview and control of their own personal data and reduce the power of organizations that collect and use such information for their own gain (own profits).
