What we collect and why
Contact forms. When you write to us through a form on this website we receive your name, email address and message, and, if you choose to give them, your telephone number and company. We use these details only to reply to your enquiry. We keep them for as long as needed to deal with it.
Members’ area. If you are a BSA member with a website account, we store your username, email address and an encrypted password so that you can log in and read members-only content.
Spam and security protection. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a visitor is human, and the website runs behind Cloudflare and security software that record technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This data is used only to keep the website secure and available.
Website statistics. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are read most. Google Analytics is only activated if you accept statistics cookies in our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time. Details are in our Cookie Policy.
Legal basis
We process contact and membership data to respond to your request and to administer membership, security data on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting the website, and analytics data only on the basis of your consent.
Who receives your data
Your data is not sold or shared for marketing. It is processed by our website hosting provider, by Cloudflare (security and content delivery) and, if you have consented, by Google (analytics). Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area under safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, ask us to restrict or stop processing it, ask for a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. To do so, email bsa@bahamasshipownersassociation.com. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.
