Controller

Tbilisi Dry Port processes personal data as an employer, as a supplier of services, for marketing purposes and in connection with visits to this website. 

As controller, Tbilisi Dry Port processes personal data for the following main purposes:     

(i) Customer and supplier information

This personal information may be exchanged between the various legal entities within Tbilisi Dry Port, but will not be disclosed to other businesses, unless otherwise stated in the service contracts.

The information being processed is contact information for customers and suppliers.

Personal data is stored in a separate database and deleted five years after completion of the customer relationship.

The legal basis for this processing is that the processing is necessary for fulfilling a contract or that it is in our legitimate interest to meet request and to improve our business and services and these interests are not overridden by the rights to data protection.

The legal basis for the above processing is that Tbilisi Dry Port has a legitimate interest in contacting potential customers to promote our services, and in our opinion this interest is not overridden by the interests of the data subject.
