Financial information: For the purposes detailed hereinafter, WeFreight may be required to collect and process financial information such as payment information.

WeFreight also collects and processes personal data it did not collect from you. This is the case where WeFreight receives personal data from your device as part of the electronic communication itself – the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. At this time, our server will also query your computer to see if there are “cookies” previously set by our Websites to facilitate log in or other site navigation procedures.

Our Websites may contain applications that allow you to book shipments, in which case you need to provide us with third-party personal data required to arrange for such shipment. In such case, you represent and warrant to WeFreight that you have obtained all necessary third-party consents for the processing of such personal data contemplated by the shipment.

How do we use your personal data?

To process your account registration and other system administration purposes;

To implement transactions or communications you requested, and, more generally, to provide you with the services and information you requested from us, including to respond to inquiries about the tracking of packages or ensuring adequate pick-up and delivery of shipments;
To review your job application;

For pursuing its legitimate interest of improving its business practices, WeFreight will collect and process your personal data for the following purposes:

To help create websites that are relevant and user friendly, by evaluating website content, navigability and composition as well as page response rates;
To protect the security and integrity of the Websites;
To let you know about material changes made to this Policy;
To protect WeFreight’s rights and interests through legal actions;
To perform business analytics activities relying notably on advanced profiling techniques and statistics, as more specifically described below; and
To provide you with tailored notices of our products, services, service developments as well as personalized contents that may address your needs (e-mail marketing), as more specifically described below.

Lastly, WeFreight may be required to collect and process personal data to comply with legally mandated reporting, disclosure, as well as any legal requirements.

Does WeFreight share my personal data with others?

In order to pursue the purposes referred to under this Policy, WeFreight may need to share certain personal data with subsidiaries and affiliates in different jurisdictions (which may also act as data controllers), with service providers (e.g., those needed for the operation of the Websites, credit card clearing houses, transport companies, etc.) and other third parties, including Government agencies and marketing entities. We share personal data to the parties referred above only to the extent needed to run our Websites and conduct the activities referred to in this Policy.

In certain, limited circumstances, where permitted by applicable law, we may share or transfer personal data to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal data to a third party (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (iii) to investigate a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution; or (v) under similar circumstances. If such an event occurs, we will take appropriate steps to protect your personal data.

WeFreight takes appropriate steps to ensure that its personnel, its affiliates and third-party vendors are bound by duties of confidentiality and that, if applicable, WeFreight implements measures such as EU standard contractual clauses to ensure that any transferred personal data remains protected and secure.

Does WeFreight implement cookies, profiling and e-mail marketing activities?

We may use cookies to provide you with a better experience while using our Websites. We will ask for your consent to our use of cookies the first time that you enter our Websites.

WeFreight may implement profiling activities, which enable us to better understand your potential needs and expectations so as to provide you with tailored information and/or services, the most likely to be of interest to you. Please note that such profiling activities will not make you subject to any legal consequences as it is just a useful way for us to better get to know you and to adapt our services proposals accordingly. To exercise your right to object to such profiling, please contact us at marketing@wefreight.com.

We do conduct e-mail marketing activities. If in the use of our Websites you have provided us with e-mail or other personal data, we will ask your consent to send you e-mail marketing material, except in the event that you are an existing customer and such permission is not required according to law. We will include an “unsubscribe” link in each electronic communication so that you can advise us whether you wish to continue receiving such communications going forward.

Does WeFreight use google analytics?

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with the Websites, compile reports on their activity, and provide other services related to their activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a returning visitor, and any referring website. The technologies used by Google Analytics do not gather information that personally identifies you.

How does WeFreight protect my personal data?

WeFreight implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk and has in place generally accepted information security techniques to prevent unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data we collect. These measures include policies, procedures, firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography, and technical elements relating to personal data access controls. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How does WeFreight respond to “do not track” signals enabled by users?

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, our Websites do not currently interpret, respond to or alter their practices when they receive “Do Not Track” signals.

To review or request changes to any of your personal data, please contact us at marketing@wefreight.com.

Are children permitted to use WeFreight?

Linked websites are not under our control. Except as stated below, this Policy applies solely to personal data that is acquired on our Websites.

Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt-out of the sale of certain types of personal information.

Notice to California residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.

The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information. For purposes of this “Notice to California Residents” section we will refer to this information as “Personal Information.”

The CCPA contains an exception that is relevant to us. Some of the CCPA’s privacy rights explained below do not apply to personal information reflecting a written or verbal communication or a transaction between us and a consumer, where the consumer is acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of another entity and when the communication or transaction occur solely within the context of us conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from such entity.

Categories of Personal Information that we sold (if applicable) or disclosed for a business purpose about you;
Categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold (if applicable) or disclosed for a business purpose; and
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or, if applicable, selling Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sell” to mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a California resident’s Personal Information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

What is My Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information?

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information about you that we have collected. However, per the CCPA, we are not required to comply with a request to delete if it is necessary for us to maintain the Personal Information in order to, for example, complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with a legal obligation, or otherwise use the Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

How Can I Submit a Request to Know or Delete?

You may submit a request to know or delete through an email to marketing@wefreight.com

What is WeFreight’s Process for Verifying a Request?

If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the California resident on whose behalf you are making such request. Our verification process may differ depending on whether you maintain a relationship and/or account with WeFreight (i.e., a password-protected account).

If you maintain a relationship and/or account with WeFreight, we may verify your identity through existing authentication practices available through your account. Prior to disclosing or deleting the Personal Information, we will ask you to re-authenticate yourself with respect to that account.

If you do not maintain a password-protected account, or if you are an account-holder but we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity with your account, we will verify your identity either to a “reasonable degree of certainty” or a “reasonably high degree of certainty” depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized disclosure or deletion, as applicable.

For requests to access categories of Personal Information and for requests to delete Personal Information that is not sensitive and does not pose a risk of harm by unauthorized deletion, we will verify your identity to a “reasonable degree of certainty” by verifying at least two data points that you previously provided to us and which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying identities.

For requests to access specific pieces of Personal Information or for requests to delete Personal Information that is sensitive and poses a risk of harm by unauthorized deletion, we will verify your identity to a “reasonably high degree of certainty” by verifying at least three pieces of Personal Information previously provided to us and which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying identities. In addition, you will be required to submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury stating that you are the individual whose Personal Information is being requested.

What is My Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information?

If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct businesses to stop selling your Personal Information. We do not sell Personal Information as it is defined in the CCPA.

What is My Right not to be Discriminated Against for Exercising My Privacy Rights?

We will not discriminate against California residents if they exercise any of the rights provided in the CCPA as described in this section “Notice to California Residents.” As such, we will not deny goods or services to that California resident; charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; provide a different level or quality of goods or services to the California resident; or suggest that the California resident will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. However, we are permitted to charge a California resident a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by the individual’s data.

Can I use an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request?

If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above. After submitting the request, we will require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the California resident.

What are my Rights under California’s Shine the Light Law?
