All personal data are encrypted using robust industry-standard encryption technologies. Access to personal data is strictly controlled and logged.
Personal data will be retained only as long as necessary for the specified purposes or as required by applicable laws. Data can be deleted upon user request, except for system-generated data necessary for app functionality.
- Right to access, rectify, or erase personal data.
- Right to data portability.
- Right to withdraw consent at any time.
- Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (CNPD – Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, Portugal).
We do not sell your data. Information may be shared with third parties only for fulfilling services (e.g., maritime authorities, employers), always under strict confidentiality agreements.
Data may be transferred internationally only to countries providing adequate data protection or under specific safeguards compliant with GDPR.
Access to information and listings within the app (including vacancies, candidate profiles, and company details) is available only to registered users. This approach ensures that all interactions are conducted in a secure, professional, and relevant environment.
- Privacy and protection of data: Information and listings are accessible only to verified accounts. This prevents unauthorized or anonymous users from viewing sensitive professional data.
- Core functionality: Registration is essential to enable meaningful interaction. Job seekers must register to apply for positions, while companies must register to publish vacancies and contact candidates. Without registration, the core matching functionality of the app cannot be achieved.
- Security of interactions: Restricting access helps protect users from misuse, spam, or data scraping, and ensures that all parties engaging through the platform are verified.
- Data minimization: We request only the minimum necessary information (such as email and basic profile details) to verify accounts and support platform functionality. No excessive personal data is collected.
- Use of information: All collected data is used strictly to provide core matching services and is never shared or sold to third parties for advertising or unrelated purposes.
By requiring registration before accessing listings, we protect our users and ensure that the app remains a trusted professional space designed for effective candidate–company matching.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Users will be notified about significant changes.
