Who we are

Maritime Systems Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 11939338. Our registered office is South Western House, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 3AL, UK. Contact us at info@maritimesys.com.

We are the controller for information collected through this website and our direct business contacts. Where we process VIMMS records for a customer, that customer will normally be the controller and we act as its processor.

What we use and why

Enquiries and business contacts

Names, contact details and correspondence are used to answer enquiries, prepare quotations and manage customer relationships. We rely on steps taken at your request, contract and our legitimate business interests.

Website operation and security

Limited technical information, such as IP address, device, browser and security logs, is used to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the website. We rely on our legitimate interests and legal obligations.

Optional measurement

Website analytics and advertising measurement are used only where you consent. You can change that choice at any time through Cookie settings.

Sharing and international transfers

We use trusted providers for hosting, communications, website analytics and advertising measurement. They may process information only for the agreed service or as required by law. We may also disclose information to professional advisers, regulators or authorities where necessary.

Some providers may process information outside the UK. Where required, we use UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards. We do not sell personal information.

Retention

We keep enquiries and business records only for as long as needed for the relationship, legal obligations and the resolution of claims. Technical and consent records are kept only for their operational purpose. Provider retention periods are described on our Cookies page.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask us for access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your information, or object to its use. You may withdraw consent at any time. Contact info@maritimesys.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

VIMMS and health-related records

Person-linked exposure and cognitive assessment records may include sensitive or health-related information. These services are governed by the relevant customer agreement, data-processing terms and service-specific privacy information. Access is restricted according to authorised roles, and customers are responsible for identifying the lawful basis for information they instruct us to process.
