Privacy policy

Draft legal information, pending counsel review before launch. Transaction-specific agreements and applicable law determine the parties’ rights and obligations.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Name, email address, and contact information
  • Account credentials
  • Identity verification documents (for KYC)
  • Transaction details and communications
  • Financial information necessary for escrow services

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process transactions and send related information
  • Verify your identity and comply with legal requirements
  • Send you technical notices and support messages
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities

3. Information sharing

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • With other parties to your transactions (buyers, sellers, brokers)
  • With service providers who assist our operations
  • To comply with legal obligations or court orders
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

4. Data security

Account sessions, document access checks and role restrictions help control access to information. These software controls do not establish an independent security assessment or guarantee security. Operational arrangements and processor protections require confirmation before launch.

5. Data retention

Retention depends on the record, the purpose of processing, applicable law and any preservation obligations. The final retention schedule and legal basis remain subject to counsel review before launch; no universal seven-year requirement is asserted. This draft notice does not change or delete existing records.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information (subject to legal requirements)
  • Object to processing of your information
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

8. International transfers

Configured hosting and service providers may process information outside your country. Before live use, the relevant processors, locations and lawful transfer arrangements must be confirmed and disclosed. This draft does not claim that a particular transfer safeguard or vendor agreement is already in place.

AI assistance and your information

Optional AI tools can send your request, permitted deal or vessel details, selected document text or metadata and relevant chat context to the configured AI service. Draft outputs and chat may be stored with the deal or account. Viewing recorded status does not itself run AI. Do not submit unnecessary sensitive information. AI can be wrong and requires human review; processor identity, provider retention, training settings and international-transfer arrangements remain prelaunch decisions to confirm and disclose.

9. Children's privacy

Our Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page.
