Below you can find further information about the nature, scope and purpose of the capture and use of data when you visit our website.

The bremenports websites are continuously developed and adapted to match the changing requirements of a customer-focused, interactive information platform.

In respect of the existing website and any other content placed on the website in future, we assure you that we store, process and/or disclose your personal data only if you have actively provided the data, e.g. by subscribing to a particular service provided by our website.

Your personal data will be processed only for the purpose for which it has been provided. The data will be disclosed to third parties only if we are legally obliged to do so or if you have given your written consent.

1. Anonymous data capture
As a matter of principle, you can visit our website without telling us who you are. We save neither the name of your internet service provider, nor the website from which you are visiting us nor the name of the file you have requested.

2. Capturing and processing personal data
Your personal data will be captured only if you disclose the data of your own accord when subscribing to our newsletter, applying for a job at bremenports or using our contact form to get in touch with us.
Any data you have entered in the contact form, such as your name, company, e-mail address and telephone number, will be used only for the purpose of direct communication with you.
You are obliged to tell us your e-mail address when you subscribe to our newsletter. The data will be used only to send you the newsletter. The newsletter contains information about the latest events at the ports in Bremen and Bremerhaven and about the port management company bremenports. Your e-mail address will be saved until you unsubscribe to the newsletter, which you can do by clicking the corresponding link in the newsletter or by informing us that you no longer wish to subscribe. This will not entail any costs other than the basic rate transmission costs. Cancellation of your subscription automatically revokes your consent to the use of your e-mail address, which will then be erased immediately.
Any personal data disclosed in connection with an application for a job at bremenports will be used only in connection with the application procedure and erased immediately on completion of that procedure.
