We are pleased that you are visiting our website and would like to thank you for your interest in our organisation, our products and our site. Protection of your privacy when using our website is important to us. Please note the following information in that regard:
Anonymous data collection
As a matter of principle, you can visit the website of the German Maritime Museum without telling us who you are. All we find out is the name of your Internet service provider, the website from which you are visiting us and the pages of our website that you view. This information is analysed for statistical purposes. You, the individual user, remain anonymous.
Collection and processing of personal data
Personal data is only collected if you choose to provide it to us, for example when you order literature, fill out a survey, or register for our personalised services. Within the scope of the German Maritime Museum's personalised services, your registration data is processed, provided that you provide your consent, for the purposes of providing information on our range of products and services, conducting market research, and tailoring our electronic services to meet requirements. Furthermore, providing that you grant your consent, the information you access when visiting the German Maritime Museum's website will be merged into a user profile, in order to be able to offer you information that has been tailored to your personal requirements. This data is transmitted encoded to counteract any third-party misuse.

No personal data is exported to countries outside the EEA.
Using and passing on personal data
Unless you provide consent for other purposes, too, the personal data collected within the scope of the German Maritime Museum's web pages will only be used for implementing contracts and processing your enquiries. If you have previously provided your consent, your data shall also be used for the purposes of providing information on our range of products and services, conducting market research, and tailoring our electronic services to meet requirements.

Furthermore, your data shall only be forwarded to the companies of the German Maritime Museum and to the German Maritime Museum's partners you have selected. For the rest, no data is to be circulated to a third party. You may, of course, withdraw your consent in each case, at any time, with future effect.
