Privacy at Amidship

What the website collects

The public website does not currently provide user accounts or an on-site contact form. Contact and procurement links open an email message addressed to Amidship.

When you send Amidship an email, we receive the information you choose to provide, which can include your name, email address, organization, message, attachments, and ordinary email metadata.

Like most websites, the hosting, network, and security infrastructure used to deliver the site may process technical request information such as IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, timestamps, and security or diagnostic data. Amidship may use limited technical or aggregate analytics to understand site operation and navigation. Amidship does not use this website for behavioural advertising and does not sell personal information.

How we use information

Amidship uses information received through the website or business email to:

• respond to inquiries and evaluate possible work or partnerships;
• communicate about an existing or potential commercial relationship;
• operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the website;
• maintain reasonable business, contractual, accounting, and legal records;
• comply with applicable legal or contractual obligations.

We do not use information submitted for one business inquiry to create an unrelated advertising profile.

Service providers and disclosure

Amidship uses technology and professional service providers to operate its business, which can include website hosting, email, productivity, source-control, accounting, and other business systems. Those providers may process information on Amidship's behalf according to their services and contractual terms.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, establish or defend legal claims, or complete a legitimate corporate transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

Amidship does not sell personal information.

International processing

Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada. When that occurs, information can be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed. Client engagements with specific data-residency requirements are handled according to the applicable contract rather than this general website notice.

Retention

Amidship retains personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, ongoing business or support needs, contractual commitments, legal/accounting obligations, dispute handling, or legitimate recordkeeping. Retention for a client engagement may be governed by a separate agreement.

Security

Amidship uses reasonable administrative and technical practices appropriate to the nature of the information it handles. No internet or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please do not send highly sensitive information through an ordinary introductory email unless an appropriate secure channel has been agreed.

Your choices and questions

You may contact Amidship to ask about personal information you have provided, request a correction, or make another privacy request available under applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request and may retain information where law, contract, or legitimate recordkeeping requires it.

Privacy contact: [email protected]

Children

Amidship's website and services are directed to organizations and professional buyers, not to children, and are not designed to collect children's personal information through the public website.

Changes to this notice

Amidship may update this notice when its website, service providers, legal obligations, or information-handling practices materially change. The effective date above will be updated when the notice changes.
