• With carriers: When you book a transport service, we share necessary contact and vehicle information with the assigned carrier so they can complete your shipment.
• With service providers: We work with third-party vendors who assist with payment processing, website hosting, analytics, and form management. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.
• For legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others.
• In a business transfer: If the Company is acquired or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

We do not share your information with third-party advertisers or data brokers.

6. Payment Processing

When payment is processed through our platform, we use industry-standard secure payment processors. We do not store complete credit card numbers on our servers. Payment data is transmitted using SSL/TLS encryption and handled in accordance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include SSL encryption, access controls, and secure data storage practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your information using industry-standard practices.
