OUR GDPR (GENERAL DATA PROTECTION DIRECTIVE) PROCESSING PRINCIPALS

If your rights and freedoms are protected under the European Union’s Regulation (EU) 2016/679, we will only process your personal data if we established a legal basis for such processing. We will only process your information to the extent that you consented to such processing, or if processing is required in the performance of a contractual obligation, for the purposes of legal obligation in which we must comply, for the vital interests of individuals, for public interest, or for a legitimate interest. In addition, we will only process your personal data for the purpose it was originally collected, or unless you provide explicit consent to additional processing. We will limit our processing of your personal data to such data that is proportionate to attain its purpose, we will retain your personal data so long as to attain the specific purposes for such data, except where required to retain longer in which we will duly inform you, and we will implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, destruction, or damage.


You have certain rights in accordance with the GDPR. Specifically, your rights include:

  • The right to receive information about your relationship with PartnerCarrier;
  • The right to obtain our confirmation regarding whether your personal data is being processed;
  • The right for us to inform you of your rights to have your personal data corrected, if inaccurate, and to be erased or “forgotten” upon completion of such processing or upon your valid request or withdrawal of consent;
  • The right to restrict our processing of your personal data if the accuracy of such data is contested, or, if PartnerCarrier no longer needs your personal data for its original purpose;
  • The right to receive copies of all your personal data in our possession in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format;

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of information about you. Unfortunately, no site, server, or database is completely secure or "hacker proof." We therefore cannot guarantee that information about you will not be disclosed, misused, lost by accident, or otherwise accessed by the unauthorized acts of others. PartnerCarrier never collects information for third party commercial marketing purposes nor does it create individual profiles or provide your information to any third party organization for such purposes. PartnerCarrier will only share your information with third parties when and as you request or as otherwise required by law or if PartnerCarrier has a legitimate interest.


USE OF OUR WEBSITES BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF THIRTEEN

We are proud of our websites and we strive to ensure that they do not offend people of any age. However, unless otherwise noted on a particular site, our websites are not intended for children under the age of thirteen years without the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe that a child has submitted personally identifiable information on or through our websites without the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, please contact us using the information provided below so that we can take appropriate action.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

On our websites, we provide links to other sites for your convenience and information, and you may have an opportunity to post user-generated content using social networking tools available on those sites. If you take advantage of this opportunity, remember that the user-generated content you post is available to others who visit the website and therefore you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to such content. Linked sites may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. In addition, a link to a non-PartnerCarrier site does not mean that PartnerCarrier endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such site. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use is free of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other items of a destructive nature. PartnerCarrier is not liable for the privacy practices or the content of other sites and to the extent any linked sites you visit are not owned or controlled by PartnerCarrier, we are not responsible for the sites' content, any use of the sites, or the privacy practices of the sites.

UPDATES TO OUR GLOBAL PRIVACY NOTICE

This Notice describes PartnerCarrier's current data protection policies and practices. We reserve the right to update it periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in those policies and practices. When we do, we will indicate at the top of the notice when it was most recently updated.
