B2B Privacy Notice

Last updated: August 2026

This notice explains how Safe-Skipper (“we”, “us”, “our”) processes business contact data when we reach out to professionals about our services. It applies alongside our main Privacy Policy and is specifically relevant if you have received a direct marketing email from us.

1. Why you’re hearing from us

If you’ve received a message from Safe-Skipper, it’s because we believe our services may be relevant to your professional role. Our legal basis for contacting you depends on where you’re located — see Section 2 below for the rules that apply to your country. In every case, our approach is the same: we only target people in their professional capacity, using basic business contact details, and we’ve weighed this against your right to privacy — limiting what we collect, who we contact, and how easy it is to stop.

2. Legal basis by region

UK, EU/EEA (incl. Ireland, France, Spain, Netherlands, Nordics) We rely on “Legitimate Interest” under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This permits B2B outreach to professional email addresses without prior consent, provided the message is relevant to the recipient’s role and an immediate opt-out is offered. Note: some EU countries (notably Germany and Austria) require prior opt-in consent even for B2B email under national ePrivacy rules, and we adjust our practices accordingly for contacts there.

United States Under the CAN-SPAM Act, cold email is legal without prior consent, for both B2B and B2C contacts. There is no exemption for business email, so we still apply the same standard: accurate sender identification, a valid physical address, no misleading subject lines, and a working opt-out honoured promptly.

Canada Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is opt-in by default and does not have a general B2B exemption. We only rely on a narrow form of implied (“deemed”) consent: where a recipient’s business contact details are conspicuously published (e.g. on a company website or LinkedIn) without any stated objection to unsolicited messages, and our message is relevant to their business role. Every message includes sender identification, a valid mailing address, and a working unsubscribe mechanism.

Australia Under the Spam Act 2003, we rely on inferred consent: the recipient’s business email is conspicuously published in a commercial context (company website, LinkedIn, business directory), there is no accompanying statement declining unsolicited messages, and our message is relevant to their business role or function. Every message identifies the sender and includes a functional unsubscribe facility, honoured within the required timeframe.

New Zealand Under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, we rely on deemed consent: the recipient’s electronic address is conspicuously published in an official or business capacity, there is no statement that they don’t want unsolicited commercial messages, and our message relates to their business or official capacity. Every message includes accurate sender information and a functional unsubscribe option.

Across all regions, we do not use address-harvesting software, and we do not purchase untraceable third-party lists — every contact’s source is recorded.

3. Where your data comes from

Because we don’t collect your details directly from you, we disclose where they came from (and, in the EU/UK, this is a requirement under GDPR Article 14). Our data is sourced via:

• Publicly accessible corporate websites
• Professional networks (such as LinkedIn)
• Verified B2B data intelligence partners

We only process basic professional data: name, job title, company, business email address, and (where available) a corporate LinkedIn URL. We do not collect or process personal, sensitive, or household data.

4. Your rights

You have an unconditional right to object to direct marketing at any time, regardless of your location. If you ask us to stop, we will honour that request immediately and free of charge. Just say the word – we really don’t want to contact anyone who doesn’t want to hear from safe-skipper.com.

If you’re in the UK or EU/EEA, you also have the usual rights under GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or request erasure of your data, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

5. What happens when you opt out

When you unsubscribe or ask us to stop contacting you, we don’t simply delete the record. Instead, we move your details to a permanent suppression list. This is intentional — it ensures you are never accidentally re-imported or re-contacted by us in a future campaign, and it helps us meet the unsubscribe-handling requirements across all the jurisdictions above.

6. How to opt out

You can opt out at any time by:

• Replying “Opt Out” to any email we send you, or
• Clicking the unsubscribe link included in every message

We’ll process your request promptly, and in any case within the timeframe required by the law that applies to you.
