We process the following categories of personal data about you:

The Danish Maritime Authority stores personal information in accordance with the guidelines. Currently, we cannot say how long we will keep your personal data. In general, we only store personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill our obligations as competent pilot authority.

We do not employ automatic assessments, such as profiling, in order to handle your request.

If personal information about you has been submitted, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This can be done by contacting us.

If you choose to withdraw your consent, it does not affect the lawfulness of our processing of your personal data based on your previously given consent and up to the time of the withdrawal. Therefore, if you withdraw your consent, it will only take effect from this time.
