Introduction
At WorkHarbor (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website and when using our maritime calculators. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit workharbor.com.
We believe in transparency about our data practices. As a service focused on providing free tools for seafarers and shipping professionals, we have built the site with privacy-by-default principles, minimizing data collection and maximizing your control.
This policy applies to all users of our website and tools, regardless of location, and is written with the major privacy frameworks in mind, including the GDPR, the CCPA, and other regional privacy regulations.
Information We Collect
Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike many websites, WorkHarbor is designed with privacy first:
- No User Accounts:We don’t require registration to use the tools.
- No Calculation Data: Speeds, coordinates, container mixes, hull dimensions, watch systems, and voyage dates you enter are not stored or transmitted.
- No Cross-Site Tracking:We don’t follow your browsing across other sites for our own purposes.
- No Personal Profiles:We don’t build behavioural profiles of you.
- No Vessel or Position Logging:We don’t collect or retain the positions, routes, or vessel details you enter into a calculator.
Information We DO Collect
We collect minimal information in specific circumstances:
Subscription & Contact Information: When you subscribe to our email updates or contact us, we collect the email address (and any message) you provide. It is used solely to send the updates you asked for or to respond to your inquiry, and it is kept only as long as needed for that purpose, then deleted.
Technical Information: Our website automatically collects minimal technical information necessary for operation and security, including browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and an IP address. Technical logs are retained only for a limited period and then deleted.
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Send the email updates you subscribed to and respond to your inquiries
- Improve our tools and content based on aggregate usage patterns
- Ensure website functionality, security, and performance
- Comply with legal obligations where required
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Privacy of Our Tools
All maritime calculators on WorkHarbor operate entirely within your browser. The values you enter — vessel speeds, latitude and longitude positions, container counts, length, beam and draft, crew numbers and watch systems, and sign-on and sign-off dates — are never sent to us, stored, or accessible to us. Your operational data remains completely private to your device.
