# CrewPortGlobal — KYB Policy for Business Clients

This document explains how CrewPortGlobal approaches Know Your Business verification for shipowners, vessel operators, ship managers, crew managers and other business users requesting access to candidate workflows or commercial services.

## Why KYB is required

CrewPortGlobal may process seafarer profiles, documentation status, client requests, operational data and business communications.

Before granting or maintaining access to certain workflows, CrewPortGlobal may need to verify that a business user is genuine, authorized and acting for a legitimate maritime purpose.

## Scope

KYB may apply to shipowners and beneficial owners interacting directly with the platform, ship managers, crew managers, operators, charter-side representatives, authorized agencies and consultants acting on behalf of a maritime business client.

## Verification signals

CrewPortGlobal may request or review information such as registered legal name, jurisdiction of incorporation, registration number, office address, corporate website, representative identity, evidence of authority to act, sanctions screening results and beneficial ownership details where proportionate to the risk profile.

## Risk-based review

Business verification may be handled using a risk-based approach.

Additional review may be required where there are concerns about identity mismatch, unusual payment instructions, sanctions exposure, high-risk jurisdictions, unverifiable ownership or inconsistent communication patterns.

## Access controls

CrewPortGlobal may delay, limit or refuse access to candidate information, commercial discussions or platform functions until satisfactory KYB review is completed.

If material concerns remain unresolved, CrewPortGlobal may suspend or terminate business access.

## Ongoing refresh

KYB is not necessarily a one-time event.

CrewPortGlobal may request updated information when there is a material change in ownership, control, representative authority, billing profile, jurisdiction, sanctions exposure or operational behavior.

## Data handling

KYB materials are handled as compliance and trust records and may be retained for audit, security, contractual or legal purposes in line with applicable privacy and retention rules.

## Reservations

CrewPortGlobal may use third-party providers, internal review, open-source intelligence or documentary checks to support KYB decisions.

Completion of KYB does not represent a warranty of financial standing, solvency or legal compliance by the client. It is a trust and risk-control measure only.
