Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At BeMariner, bridging the global maritime community requires immense trust. This Privacy Policy outlines exactly how we collect, safeguard, and harness the data you provide us. We firmly respect your privacy and process all information strictly under the legal umbrella of the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and relevant international data protection mappings.

2. Information We Collect

To operate the platform effectively and ensure accurate academic/career mappings, we directly assemble the following:

• Personal Data: Your full name, Date of Birth, authenticated Email, international dialing code, and mobile contact numbers captured specifically during the secure onboarding flow.
• Professional Data: Seagoing roles (e.g., Deck Cadet, Master, Engineer), current geographic coordinates (City, State, Country) to optimize local maritime institute mapping.
• Device & Protocol Logistics: Browsing IP addresses (primarily to adjust against low-bandwidth maritime satellite feeds securely).

3. How Your Data is Used

We exclusively deploy your data organically to elevate your user experience, including:

• Authenticating your active sessions securely using Better Auth integration.
• Dynamically suggesting DG-Shipping compliant colleges and maritime courses native to your geographic locale.
• Routing critical OTP verifications strictly to your private email address cleanly.

*BeMariner will NEVER secretly sell, dynamically trade, or unlawfully pipe your identity logs to external advertising third parties.

4. Cookies & Session Management

Because seafarers require uninterrupted sessions across varying geographic domains, we implement Advanced Cross-Subdomain Cookies exclusively mapped over `.bemariner.com`. These are NOT advertising trackers. They are purely mechanical keys designed solely to securely sustain your login states as you traverse the portal organically. By utilizing BeMariner, you formally accept these functional session cookies.

5. Security Contingencies

Your configurations are committed against securely encrypted PostgreSQL schemas. While absolute server immunity cannot exist natively on the internet, our architectural perimeter mandates extreme security bounds preventing horizontal database escalation or unauthorized metric skimming explicitly.

6. Third-Party Interfaces

Our hub integrates external links to marine college mainframes and booking dashboards. Be advised that clicking outward bounds you logically to those external environments' terms. BeMariner governs exclusively the environment housed inside our secure structural perimeter.
