Introduction
Maersk Containers (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Maersk Containers”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you. This policy applies to MaerskContainers.com and any services we provide online or offline.

  1. Information we collect
    We collect information you provide directly and information we collect automatically when you use our website or services.

  1. How we use your information
    We use personal information for the following purposes:
  • To provide, process and fulfill orders, deliver containers and related services, and manage billing and warranty matters.

  • To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms and conditions, and cooperate with regulators or law enforcement when required.
  1. Legal basis for processing (where applicable)
    If you are in a jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for processing (for example, the EU under the GDPR), we rely on one or more of the following:
  • Performance of a contract: processing necessary to deliver ordered products or services and fulfill contractual obligations.
  • Legitimate interests: for business operations, fraud prevention, security, improving services, and customer communications, balanced against your privacy rights.
  • Consent: when you opt into marketing communications or non-essential cookies.
  • Legal compliance: where required by law.
  1. Sharing and disclosure
    We do not sell personal data. We may share personal information with:

a. Service providers and partners

  • Third-party vendors who assist with payment processing, hosting, shipping and logistics, invoicing, customer relationship management (CRM), email delivery, analytics, and other business functions. These vendors process data on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it.

b. Shipping and delivery partners

  • Freight carriers, port agents, local haulers, and crane/handling services necessary to deliver containers and coordinate site placement.

c. Professional advisors

  • Lawyers, accountants, insurers, and other professional advisors when necessary for business operations or compliance.

d. Legal and safety reasons

  • If required by law, legal process, governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, safety, or that of others.

e. Business transfers

  • If Maersk Containers is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, personal data may be transferred. We will require any purchaser to honor the terms of this Privacy Policy.

  1. International transfers
    Maersk Containers’ service providers and partners may be located in countries outside your country of residence. When we transfer personal data internationally, we will protect it using appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual protections, standard contractual clauses) as required by applicable law.

  2. Data retention
    We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, to comply with legal obligations (for example, tax and accounting requirements), resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business needs. Typical retention periods:

  • Transaction and billing records: retained in accordance with local tax and accounting laws (commonly 3–7 years).
  • Customer account and order histories: retained for the duration of our business relationship and subsequently as necessary.
  • Marketing consents and preferences: retained until you withdraw consent or unsubscribe.
  1. Your rights and choices
    Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion or restriction of processing (subject to legal or contractual exceptions).
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing.
  • Receive a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format (data portability).
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 15. We may require verification of identity before responding. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

  1. Security
    We implement technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate, secure hosting, and internal security policies. While we strive to protect your information, no system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  2. Children
    Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age where local law applies). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will promptly delete it where required.
