Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 7, 2026
Bridge & Block Marine ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at bridgeandblockmarine.com (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect your first and last name, email address, phone number (if provided), company name, business type, and the details of your enquiry. If you email us (including at info@bridgeandblockmarine.com or supply@bridgeandblockmarine.com) or contact us via WhatsApp or LinkedIn, we collect whatever information you choose to share through those channels.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit — such as IP address, browser and device information, and general usage data — through cookies or similar technology built into our website platform. We do not currently use third-party analytics or advertising trackers beyond this baseline functionality; if that changes, we'll update this Policy.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to respond to enquiries, assess and follow up on sourcing requests, connect you with relevant suppliers or manufacturers in our network, maintain records of our business relationships, improve the Site, and meet legal obligations. We rely on taking steps at your request before entering into a business relationship, our legitimate interests in operating a B2B sourcing business, your consent where we ask for it, and legal compliance as applicable grounds for this processing.
3. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with suppliers or manufacturers in our network where relevant to fulfilling your enquiry, service providers who support our operations (such as our website and back-office platform, Odoo, and communication tools like WhatsApp when you contact us that way), and legal or regulatory authorities where required by law. Anyone we share data with may only use it for the purpose we shared it for.
4. International transfers
Because we work with suppliers and buyers across multiple regions — including Northern Europe, the Middle East, and Eastern Asia — your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure such transfers are appropriately protected.
5. Data retention
We keep your information for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, maintain our business relationship with you, and meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, after which we delete or anonymize it.
6. Cookies
The Site may use essential cookies needed for it to function correctly. If we add analytics or marketing cookies in future, we'll ask for consent where required and update this section.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data; object to or restrict certain processing; request a portable copy of your data; withdraw consent where processing relies on it; and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we do not sell or share personal data for cross-context advertising). Visitors in the European Economic Area and UK have these rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR and may lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority; visitors in California and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws have similar rights. We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. To exercise any right, contact us at info@bridgeandblockmarine.com — we may need to verify your identity first.
8. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, though no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9. Children's privacy
The Site is intended for business use by maritime industry professionals and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post the revised version here with a new "Last updated" date.
