Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how the operator of the Client Portal (“Company”, “We”, “Us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you access or use the Portal. The Portal is primarily a business service used by authorized customers and partners. Depending on your relationship with the Company, your organization may act as the data controller for certain data processed through the Portal.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

  • Account and contact data: name, email address, phone number, organization, role (if provided).
  • Authentication data: login timestamps, token identifiers, and security-related events (not your raw passwords).
  • Portal usage data: pages viewed, actions performed, settings, and interactions needed to provide the service.
  • Technical data: IP address, device type, browser information, OS, approximate location derived from IP, logs.
  • Customer operational data (business data): shipment identifiers, tracking events, labels, EDI messages, and related records you access or submit.

2. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and secure the Portal and related services.
  • To authenticate users, manage access, and enforce authorization controls.
  • To support operational workflows (tracking, labels, EDI exchanges, reporting).
  • To troubleshoot issues, monitor performance, and improve reliability.
  • To communicate service notices, security alerts, and support messages.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect rights, safety, and security.

3. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

Where required by law, processing may be based on one or more legal grounds, such as performance of a contract, legitimate interests (for security and service improvement), compliance with legal obligations, or your consent (for optional features).

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Portal may use cookies or similar technologies to enable core functionality (for example, session handling), prevent fraud, and improve user experience. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If cookies are disabled, parts of the Portal may not function properly.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers that help operate the Portal (hosting, monitoring, analytics, security, support) under confidentiality obligations.
  • Business partners involved in your logistics workflows (for example, carriers or integration partners) when required to provide the service.
  • Legal and safety reasons if required by law, court order, or to protect rights and prevent abuse or fraud.
  • Corporate events such as merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the Portal, meet contractual and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on data type and business context.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, and incident response practices. No system is 100% secure, and you should also protect your credentials and access devices.

8. International Transfers

Depending on where you access the Portal from, your information may be processed in countries different from your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

9. Your Rights (Where Applicable)

Depending on your location and relationship with the Company, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, or object to certain processing. If your organization is the controller, requests may need to be submitted through your organization’s administrator.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Portal is intended for business users and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice in the Portal or by other reasonable means. The “Effective date” above indicates when the latest version applies.

12. Contact

For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact your account administrator or use the support channels provided in your service agreement.

Note: This Privacy Policy is a template and should be reviewed by legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable laws (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) and your operational setup (controllers/processors, subprocessors, data locations).
