• Google Analytics is used only if you accept it in the cookie banner. Until then it is not even loaded, and no cookies are set.
• No advertising, no advertising signals, no other trackers.
• No forms, accounts or newsletters.
• Fonts, images and scripts are served from our own servers. The only third-party request is Google Analytics, after your consent.
• You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
• We do not sell personal data.

When you open a page, your browser automatically sends technical information to our web servers. Our infrastructure records it in server logs:

• IP address
• date and time of the request
• the page or file requested, and the response status and size
• the referring page, if your browser sends it
• browser and operating system (user agent)

We use this information only to deliver the website and to keep it secure and working — for example to detect attacks, abuse and errors. We do not combine it with other data or use it to build profiles.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a secure and reliable website.

Log data is kept only as long as needed for these purposes and is then deleted, unless specific entries are needed to investigate a security incident.

If you click “Accept” in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how this website is used — which pages are visited, how visitors arrive and which devices they use — so we can improve it. If you click “Reject” or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded and nothing is sent to Google.

The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). With your consent, Google Analytics processes:

• a randomly generated identifier stored in cookies on your device
• the pages you view, the time of your visit and the referring page
• technical information such as browser, operating system, screen size and language
• an approximate location (country, region, city) derived from your IP address — Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses

We have switched off all advertising features: no advertising cookies, no personalised ads and no sharing of data for advertising purposes.

Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which also covers storing the cookies on your device. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before.

Google may process data in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision; Google also uses the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Analytics data is kept in Google Analytics for the retention period set in our account, at most 14 months, and is then deleted automatically.

Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

This website stores the following on your device:

• thevoco-consent (local storage, no expiry; cleared with your browser data): remembers your choice in the cookie banner, so we do not ask on every page. Strictly necessary, set without consent, never sent to anyone.
• _ga (cookie, 2 years) and _ga_TDNPNCYH43 (cookie, 2 years): Google Analytics identifiers. Only set if you accept analytics.

To change or withdraw your consent, use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. If you reject analytics after accepting it, collection stops and the Google Analytics cookies are deleted. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time.

If you write to us (for example at [email protected]), we process your email address, your name and whatever you include in your message, in order to answer you and, where relevant, to prepare or carry out an agreement with you.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your message concerns a contract or steps before one; otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in answering enquiries.

We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any business relationship that follows, and afterwards for as long as commercial or tax law requires us to.

This website runs on Kubernetes platforms we manage on established cloud providers, and our email runs on a hosted email service. These providers act as our processors under data processing agreements and may only process data on our instructions.

If you consent to analytics, Google receives the data described under “Google Analytics” above and processes it as our processor under Google’s data processing terms.

Where a provider processes personal data outside the EU/EEA, the transfer is covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission or by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We disclose personal data to authorities only where we are legally required to.

This site links to the websites of our brands and of Maritime Events. They are separate websites with their own privacy policies; this policy does not cover them. No data is transferred to them unless you follow a link.

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15)
• have inaccurate data corrected (Art. 16)
• have your data erased (Art. 17)
• have processing restricted (Art. 18)
• receive your data in a portable format (Art. 20)
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests (Art. 21)

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will answer within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state where you live or work or where the alleged infringement took place (Art. 77 GDPR).

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

We update this policy when the website or the way we process data changes. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed.
