CrewFinder ("we," "us," or "our") is operated by Aimsio Inc. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use crewfinder.info.

• Services offered and certifications held
• Account credentials if you create an account

Public Directory Information

Important: Information submitted for directory listings (company name, address, services, contact details) is publicly visible on our website. This is the nature of a business directory.

If you do not want certain information to be public, do not include it in your listing. You may request removal of your listing at any time by visiting our listing removal page.

Business Directory Information

Our directory contains business information (company names, business addresses, business phone numbers, services offered). This information is distinct from personal information and is compiled from publicly available sources for the legitimate purpose of operating a business directory.

Under most privacy laws, business contact information used for business purposes does not constitute "personal information" or "personal data" in the same way that individual consumer data does.

If you submit a listing, you are providing business information for public display. Any personal contact information (personal email, personal mobile) that you choose to include will also be publicly visible.

Third-Party Services

We use the following services that may process your data:

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential cookies: Required for site functionality (e.g., map preferences)
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This may affect site functionality.

Data Retention

Directory listing information is retained for as long as the listing is active. When a listing is removed, the associated data is deleted from our active database within 30 days. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and is not personally identifiable.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your information or listing
• Portability: Receive your data in a portable format

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act:

• Right to know: What personal information we collect and how we use it
• Right to delete: Request deletion of your personal information
• Right to opt-out: We do not sell personal information
• Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@crewfinder.info.

European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Legal basis: We process your data based on consent (listing submission) and legitimate interests (directory operation)
• Right to withdraw consent: You may request listing removal at any time
• Right to lodge a complaint: With your local data protection authority

Data Controller: Aimsio Inc., 5005 Dalhousie Dr NW, Unit 175 Suite 1490, Calgary, AB T3A 5R8, Canada

Canadian Privacy Rights (PIPEDA)

If you are in Canada, you have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA):

• Right to access: Request access to your personal information held by us
• Right to correction: Challenge accuracy and request corrections
• Right to withdraw consent: Request listing removal at any time

Note: Business contact information (company name, business address, business phone) used for business directory purposes is generally exempt from PIPEDA as it does not constitute "personal information" under the Act when used in a business context.

To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@crewfinder.info.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. However, no internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted through our site.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
