Alexony Maritime Limited/International Marine Purchasing Association does not capture and store any personal information about individuals who access this web site, except where personal details are voluntarily given via email, using an electronic form, registering as a member, providing references or enquiring about any of our services.

We are fully committed to compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679, and wherever we request personal information from you, we will do our best to advise you how the information will be used, who will see it, why they need it, and what they will do with it.

2. Use of cookies and computer IP address

Alexony Maritime Limited/International Marine Purchasing Association uses cookies for collecting user information for the purpose of displaying our website information on your computer in a fully accessible format in order to comply with relevant disability legislation and industry standards. A cookie is a temporary text message stored on your computer when you visit a website to indicate if a user has visited a site previously. A cookie can also be used to identify users and personalise their visit by customising web pages for them, for example by welcoming them by name next time.

We may collect technical data about the type of Internet Browser and computer operating system that you use. This information does not identify you as an individual and is used only for tracking of site use. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.

From time to time we also conduct web visitor surveys that store a cookie on visitors’ computers. The cookie is used to identify web visitors who have already been offered the survey so that they are not prompted to participate a second time.

When you visit our website, we record your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us diagnose any problems with our computer network. Any information logged is not given to any third-party companies and is kept solely for the reasons stated above. It is not linked to personally identifiable information so all visitors to our site remain anonymous.
