Cargoguide collects and uses only that information required to provide a high level of service along with the features and functions you need. This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, manage, and disclose your personal data on a website hosted and/or maintained by us (the Site)[1].

  1. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA

You share personal data with Cargoguide if you are our customer or have contact with us for other reasons.

In this Privacy Policy, the term “personal data” has the meaning given to it in the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR). In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address but also your computer’s IP address or user log-in time.

 

  1. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY

There are a number of reasons why Cargoguide may collect your personal data. Your personal data are stored when you access our Site, contact us for support, sign up for our services or login and use our services.

 

If you access our Site, we collect:

  • information about where you are and the device you work from. This includes your IP address, hardware model, browser type, operating system, language settings, screen resolution and other technical aspects of the device you use when accessing our services or websites. With your IP address we may learn from which area or country you access our Site, and the company to whom that IP address belongs to. Why? We want to be able to provide you the best possible personalised experience on any of our services and websites, and understand where you work.

 

  • information about your use of our site. This includes the links you push on our Site, the site you visited before our Site and the site you visit when you leave our Site. Why? We want to understand where visitors come from and go to and how they use our Site. We do not track you once you leave our Site.

If we have contact, through a contact form on our Site or otherwise, or if you use our services, we collect the following data:

  • data on who you are and how to contact you. This includes your name, telephone number, email address, street address, profession, work history and job title. Why? This data is needed to identify you and to be able to communicate with you.

 

  • data on what you do on Cargoguide’s websites and in its services, like log-in and changes made. This data is used for example to monitor the stability of our services, to balance the performance and to establish afterwards who executed certain changes in case errors were made.

 

  • data on contact moments and information exchanged. This includes the contact details, date and time and content of an enquiry, complaint, support request and our responses. Why? We record our contact with you in our ticketing system in order to follow-up on customer support. We also record your enquiries about other products or services, together with any additional information necessary to deliver those products and services, respond to your enquiries and generally to complete any commercial transaction between you and us.

 

  • data used for administration and remuneration. User specific usage of our services, bank details and subscription(s). Why? We need to collect information on the usage of our services, bank details and subscription information in order to be able to charge for the use of our services, to bill and to collect debts. If you are an independent contractor, your bank details and the type of subscriptions you have may be considered personal data.

 

  • data on what you do in our services or on our websites. This includes detailed logging of any user activity in our services or websites, including data entry and data updates through whatever means. We may also collect your IP address in any log entry. Why? We need to be able to reconstruct who did what in any supported process of our services and websites, for example if such information is ever needed in an official investigation. Your username and password are strictly personal and must be kept confidential at all time. Specifically for our customs clearing solutions, we need to be able to track all changes that a user processes in any step of the procedure. We may also use this type of information to monitor and improve the performance of our systems, infrastructure and services. And we may use this data to research and develop our products or services.

We may use any of the mentioned personal data in case we need to comply with, or act in accordance with, any law, rule, regulation, lawful and binding determination, decision or direction of a regulator, or in cooperation with any governmental authority of any country.

We do not collect sensitive information as defined in the GDPR. Sensitive information includes information about your health, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of professional or trade associations, or a criminal record. We do not use profiling as defined in the GDPR.

We may collect some information that is not personal data because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated or pseudonymised information about how users use our website, service and software.

We seek your consent to our handling of your personal information via our application forms, our administration processes and other methods by which we capture information.

  1. WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

For the purposes set out above under “What personal data do we collect and why?”, we may disclose your personal data to organizations or persons outside Cargoguide, to the extent this is legally permissible in your jurisdiction. If we need to disclose your personal data for any other purpose, we will only do so with your consent or – if this is legally permissible in your jurisdiction – where you may otherwise reasonably expect us to do so.

Where appropriate, these disclosures are subject to privacy and confidentiality protections and – as the case may be – other requirements under the GDPR. The organizations and persons to which we usually disclose information include:

  • government and regulatory authorities and other organizations, as required or authorized by law; and
  • our related companies.

Some of these organizations or persons may be located in other countries. The countries in which these organizations or persons are located will vary, but, in the course of our ordinary operations, we generally disclose personal data to organizations or persons located in Australia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. We will always ensure that such sharing is compliant with GDPR.

  1. FURTHER PROCESSING OF DATA

Cargoguide is a subsidiary of WiseTech Global Limited, an Australia based group of companies (the Group). Cargoguide may want or need to transfer your personal data to another member of the Group for further processing.
