INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT IDENTIFY YOU
Globex Freight Service collects certain technical information from your computer's Web browser when you visit www.GlobexFreightservice.org on the Internet. This information includes the amount of time spent on the site by a visitor with a unique Internet identifier, the pages visited and returned to, the operating system and Web browser software used, and the referrer website. These server logs do not contain any personal information and can only be accessed by Globex Freight Service.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We provide an online parcel tracking service on our website through which our customers can enter a Barcode Number and determine the delivery status of a parcel. Anyone can view the status of a parcel on Globex Freight Service's website by entering a valid barcode. The only information displayed on the site is as follows:
Although minimal information is derived by entering a valid barcode on-line, Globex Freight Service uses commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to barcodes to those shipping and receiving a parcel, and to the Globex Freight Service shippers involved. We provide parcel tracking as a service to our customers and assume no responsibility for misuse of this service or inadvertent disclosure of shipment details.
Barcode numbers can be searched online for approximately one year after being assigned. Barcodes up to three (3) years back can be tracked by e-mailing info@globexfreight.org.
None of the information collected by Globex Freight Service through this website or provided by you in an e-mail message to a Globex Freight Service representative is transferred to a third party. We do not sell, trade or share any of your personal information with any other companies. However, we will release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate in order to comply with the law, for example if we receive a subpoena or court order.
Your Customer Master File record is never disclosed outside of Globex Freight Service or its agencies. The personal information contained in the Customer Master File may be used to create anonymous, aggregate data, such as the number of Globex Freight Service customers in a particular area. This data may be used in advertising and marketing materials but contains no personal information.
- The status of the parcel (for example, whether it has been delivered or is still in transit).
- If the parcel was delivered, the date and time of the delivery and the name of the person who signed for the parcel.
- The first three digits of the recipient's postal code. This indicates the approximate geographical location of the recipient of the parcel, but does not pinpoint their exact location.
- If requested, customer signature is available on both our main website and customer portal. Please contact us at info@globexfreight.org if you would like to have a signature removed from our website.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF YOUR INFORMATION
Only Business Profiles that are entered on this site are retained for extended periods of time. When you complete this form you show a level of interest in becoming a Globex Freight Service customer and we take that seriously. An electronic and paper version of the Business Profile is kept with the office of the Vice President, Sales. Both versions are destroyed in their entirety if you become a customer, since your information and all the relevant details of your account are then stored in the Customer Master File. If you decide not to become a customer, your Business Profile is retained in order to periodically contact you and determine whether Globex Freight Service can begin servicing your shipping needs. The paper version of your Business Profile is retained for a maximum of two (2) years on-site, in locked cabinets, before being destroyed. The electronic version is kept as long as we feel there may be an opportunity to do business with you.
Barcodes older than three (3) years are stored on tape in an off-site database for another four (4) years before being deleted. Off-site storage is also used for nightly backups of the Customer Master File that are retained for sixty (60) days before being overwritten. All paper records being destroyed are shredded by Globex Freight Service.
If you are not a Globex Freight Service customer and would prefer Globex Freight Service to permanently delete any information we have about you (i.e. Business Profiles), please let us know by e-mailing info@globexfreight.org. We will immediately carry out this request and you will receive no further communications from Globex Freight Service. Please note that it may be impossible to delete your information completely without some residual information temporarily remaining in backups.

HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION KEPT SAFE?
