What Personal Information Is Collected through This Website and How Is It Used?

We collect information about our users in 2 ways:

directly from the user;
from our Web server logs.

We use the information primarily to provide you with a personalized experience that delivers the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. We do not share any of the information you provide with others, unless we specifically mention so in this Privacy Policy, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

User-Supplied Information

When you fill out the contact form on this website, we will ask you to provide some personal information (such as e-mail address, name, phone number, zip code and state). Further, if chat is available through this site, you may be asked to provide information if you participate in an online chat.

DO NOT SUBMIT ANY CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR SENSITIVE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (e.g. Social Security Number; date of birth; drivers license number; or credit card, bank account or other financial information) (collectively, "Sensitive Information"). If you submit any Sensitive Information, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission. Information that you provide to us through the contact form or an online chat will be used so that we may respond to your inquiry. We may also use information you provide to us to communicate with you in the future. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out (unsubscribe).

When you visit our website, we may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the activities on our sites. The servers automatically capture and save the information electronically. Examples of the information we may collect include:

How Is Personal Information Protected?

We take certain appropriate security measures to help protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will always be unable to defeat our security measures.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Asbestos Ships will not sell, rent, or lease mailing lists or other user data to others, and we will not make your personal information available to any unaffiliated parties, except as follows:

to agents, website vendors and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us;
as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another firm or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property.
