Legal Notes & Policy

Arab ShipBroker is the commercial name and professional brand under which our shipbroking and market-intelligence activities are conducted.

The use of the term Arab ShipBroker does not automatically imply the existence of, or reference to, a single incorporated legal entity in every jurisdiction. While formal legal entities are being established in Egypt and/or the United Arab Emirates, the brand Arab ShipBroker may also represent the work of individual professional shipbrokers and independent practitioners operating under the same brand identity.

Arab ShipBroker collects operational, technical, and commercial information strictly for business placement and brokerage activities.

You grant Arab ShipBroker the right to use the data you provide for commercial brokerage and business placement exclusively, unless you instruct otherwise in writing.

You acknowledge that Arab ShipBroker operates a legitimate Market Intelligence and Research Unit. By providing your data, you grant us the right to use such information for research, analysis, and statistical models.

This use is strictly subject to the following conditions:

• Any published or shared output will be anonymized.
• No commercially sensitive or identifying information will be disclosed without your explicit permission.
• The purpose remains limited to understanding, explaining, or improving dry-bulk market dynamics.

4.1 Operational/Commercial Sharing

Data may be shared with third parties strictly within the scope of securing a charter, matching cargo with vessel, evaluating freight terms, or performing fixture operations.

4.2 Sharing Beyond Scope

If Arab ShipBroker wishes to share your information for any purpose outside the operational scope—such as investor presentations, academic publications with identifying details, or commercial partnerships—we will seek your prior written consent.

Arab ShipBroker commits to implementing industry-accepted safeguards to ensure your information is:

• Stored securely
• Accessed only by authorized personnel
• Not shared with non-related parties
• Not sold or licensed without permission

We will only collect information that is genuinely required for brokerage and market analysis. Data will be retained only as long as necessary, or as required by applicable regulations.

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

• Request a copy of the data we hold
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of certain data
• Withdraw consent for non-essential processing
