Datenschutz-Bestimmungen

The protection of personal data is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be processed when you visit Ship-Tracker.org, why such processing may take place and what rights may be available to you.

Personal data is information that can directly or indirectly identify an individual. This may include information such as an IP address, e-mail address or other online identifiers.

Ship-Tracker.org is primarily an informational maritime website. Most of our vessel information, port information, ship tracking pages and editorial content can be accessed without directly providing personal information to us.

When you access Ship-Tracker.org, technical information may automatically be transmitted by your browser to the server hosting the website.

This information may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, requested page or resource, date and time of access and technical status information.

Server log information may be processed to provide the website, maintain technical stability and security, diagnose errors and protect the website against misuse or attacks.

Server log data is generally retained only for as long as required for these technical and security purposes, subject to any applicable legal retention requirements.

If you contact us by e-mail, the information you voluntarily provide may be processed for the purpose of receiving, handling and responding to your request.

This may include your e-mail address, your name if provided, the content of your message and other information you choose to include.

Information submitted through e-mail communication is generally retained only for as long as necessary to process the request or as required by applicable legal obligations.

Ship-Tracker.org uses Google AdSense to display advertising on parts of the website.

Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google. Depending on your location, consent choices and Google’s applicable settings, advertising may involve cookies or similar technologies and the processing of information about your device, browser and interaction with advertisements.

Such technologies may be used by Google and its advertising partners for purposes including delivering advertisements, measuring advertising performance, preventing fraud and, where permitted and consented to, personalizing advertising.

Where consent is legally required for advertising cookies or comparable technologies, these technologies should only be activated after the required consent has been provided.

Google may process information on servers located outside your country of residence. Further information about Google’s privacy practices and the use of data in advertising is available through Google’s privacy and advertising information.

Some pages on Ship-Tracker.org may contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google.

When a YouTube video or embedded player is loaded or activated, your browser may establish a connection with Google or YouTube servers. In this process, information such as your IP address, browser information and information about the page you are visiting may be transmitted to the provider.

If you are signed in to a Google or YouTube account, the provider may be able to associate interactions with your account in accordance with its own privacy settings and policies.

Where required by applicable law, YouTube content that involves non-essential data processing should only be activated after the necessary consent has been provided.

Ship-Tracker.org contains links to websites and services operated by third parties. When you follow an external link, you leave Ship-Tracker.org and the privacy practices of the external website apply.

We do not control how independent third-party websites process personal data. We recommend reviewing the privacy information of the respective provider before submitting personal information to an external service.

Personal data under our control is generally retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was processed or as required by applicable law.

Different retention periods may apply to technical logs, communications and information processed by third-party services.

For data processed independently by external providers, the retention periods specified by the respective provider may apply.

Where personal data is processed on the basis of consent, you may withdraw that consent for future processing at any time.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the consent was withdrawn.
