We process only the minimum personal data required to provide value to our merchants. We are transparent about the data we process and strictly limit its use to the following purposes:
- Shipment Fulfillment: Recipient names and addresses for label generation and customs compliance.
- Account Management: Merchant contact and billing info governed by formal Data Protection Agreements.
- Consent: We respect all customer consent decisions and do not sell personal data.
2. Data Retention & Protection
- Retention: Data is subject to strict retention periods and is not kept longer than necessary for operational or legal requirements.
- Encryption: All data is encrypted both at rest and in transit. This extends to all data backups.
- Environment Integrity: We strictly separate test and production data environments to prevent accidental exposure.
- Loss Prevention: We maintain a dedicated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy to monitor and secure sensitive information.
3. Operational Security & Access
- Staff Access: Access to customer personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and is governed by strong password requirements.
- Monitoring: Every instance of access to personal data is logged for audit and security purposes.
- Response: We maintain a formal Security Incident Response Policy to address and mitigate potential threats immediately.
4. Your Legal Rights
Under GDPR/UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. We ensure that automated decision-making does not produce legal or significant effects without appropriate safeguards.
