INFORMATION WE COLLECT & PRIVACY OF DATA
Ryan (“we” or “our”) appreciates your interest in our website and values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how and why we collect it, and underlines our commitment to safeguarding your information so you can confidently use our website and submit applications or inquiries.
For purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we act as the data controller of your personal information.
Company-wide, we are dedicated to protecting and respecting your privacy when processing your personal data. This commitment applies both to data collected through our website and to information you voluntarily provide to us in the course of our business activities. Any personal data you submit, such as through a job application or general inquiry, is collected voluntarily and may be stored electronically and/or on paper as needed for the intended purpose.
We collect personal data in two main contexts:
Website Interactions
- Contact forms or inquiries: We may collect your name, email address, and any information you provide voluntarily.
- Website analytics: We use cookies and similar technologies to gather non-personal statistical data on website usage (e.g., pages visited, browser type, device information, IP address).
Recruitment and Employment
- When applying for a job, we may collect personal information including your name, email, phone number, position applied for, and your CV/Resume in order to process your data for recruitment purposes.
- We may also ask for consent to process your data for recruitment purposes.
USES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Any personal data collected through our website, or provided voluntarily by you, is processed solely by authorized Ryan Shipmanagement personnel for the specific purpose you provided it, in accordance with applicable legal requirements in the relevant jurisdiction.

DATA TRANSFERS
As an international crew and ship management company, Ryan may transfer certain personal data collected through our website, or voluntarily provided by you, to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). Such transfers are carried out as necessary to process specific inquiries, support business operations, or comply with local legal requirements.
For example, if you apply for a position and are based in a country where we have a local office, your application may be forwarded to that office for processing. Similarly, if you are a supplier seeking to engage with one of our offices outside the EU, your information may be shared with the relevant team.
Personal data we collect may also be processed by Ryan Shipmanagement employees or authorized partners located outside the EU. These personnel may be involved in recruitment, contract administration, customer support, training, procurement, or other essential business activities.

We are committed to:
- Processing your data lawfully and only for its intended purpose.
- Keeping personal data secure from collection to deletion.
- Sharing data only with trusted partners who meet our security standards.
- Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.
DATA RETENTION
Ryan will only keep personal data as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. We take all reasonable steps to securely destroy or erase data that is no longer required.
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR
