Controller and contact
Vessel Core OÜ, registry code 17028043, VAT EE102773714, Tähesaju tee 21-107, 13917 Tallinn, Estonia, is the controller for personal data handled through this website and its RFQ communication. Contact: sales@vesselcore.eu.
Information an RFQ may contain
An RFQ may contain business contact information, buyer company details, technical identifiers, vessel or fleet context, commercial requirements and delivery context. Depending on what you choose to provide, this may include:
- name, company and business email address, and a phone number if you include one;
- vessel name, IMO, maker, model, serial number, part references and quantities;
- photos, nameplates, drawings, parts-list pages or old quotations;
- port, ETA, route preference, urgency and documentation needs.
Purposes and legal basis
We use this information to receive, assess and answer RFQs; identify or clarify equipment; source and quote suitable supply routes; communicate with the buyer; and coordinate contractual or delivery context where applicable. The intended legal bases are legitimate interests and steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.
Recipients and service providers
Information is shared only where reasonably needed for the RFQ and business workflow. This can include relevant suppliers, logistics providers and service providers used to operate the RFQ desk.
- Cloudflare may provide website delivery and Turnstile bot-protection services. If you use “Recognize by photo” on the RFQ form, the nameplate photo is sent to Cloudflare Workers AI to read the text on the plate; the website does not store the photo.
- Postmark may provide RFQ notification and buyer-confirmation email delivery.
- Google Sheets may be used as an internal RFQ lead log for operational follow-up.
- Direct file intake, if enabled in a future preview or production workflow, may use private object storage and an external malware-scanning service before a file is retained.
International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Appropriate safeguards and processor arrangements are reviewed for the services actually enabled.
Retention
RFQ and business communication records may be retained for the time needed to respond to a request, manage quotations and orders, meet accounting or legal obligations, resolve disputes and maintain business records.
Your rights and requests
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction, deletion or portability of your personal data, or restriction of or objection to its processing. Contact sales@vesselcore.eu with enough detail to identify the request. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate.
Cookies, analytics and security
The RFQ form uses bot protection. The home page and the RFQ page load the Google Ads tag, which measures whether advertising leads to RFQs. It starts with advertising and analytics storage denied: until you accept marketing cookies it does not write or read advertising cookies and sends Google measurements without cookies, and analytics storage stays denied unless you accept analytics cookies. Without marketing cookies, the click identifier of the ad that brought you here may be carried in the page address as you move between pages of this site. If you accept marketing cookies, advertising storage is allowed and the LinkedIn Insight Tag is loaded as well; without that consent it is not loaded. When an RFQ is sent from one of these pages, the submission is reported to Google Ads as a conversion; if you have accepted marketing cookies, the Google tag also sends your email address, hashed in your browser first, and the submission is reported to LinkedIn. Your choice is kept in your browser for twelve months and can be changed at any time through “Cookie settings” at the foot of the page. Other website events are designed to record interaction categories only, and RFQ text, vessel/IMO data, part numbers, attachments, prices and lead IDs are kept out of analytics and advertising payloads.
Updates to this notice
We may update this page when website systems, processors or RFQ workflows change. The date above identifies the latest website copy update.
