ShipTime will provide the appropriate quote for the scale or cubic weight.

Privacy Policy

Registration data and other information we collect from you are subject to our Privacy Policy. You understand that through your use of the Site and/or Services you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of this information, only as permitted by the Privacy Policy and in order to provide the Site and Services to you.

The following privacy policy discloses ShipTime Canada Inc.’s practices and policies regarding the gathering and dissemination of personal information at ShipTime.com and through its online shipping application.

 

Personal Information We Collect

When you set up an account with us, or when you process shipments through our website, we collect certain personal information. That information includes:

  1. your business / contact name, address, phone number and email address;
  2. credit card information (at time of a transaction);
  3. account preferences, including website update information by email;
  4. names, titles, business contact information from our corporate and business customer contacts.

This information is collected and used for a number of purposes:

  • To establish and maintain a commercial relationship with you and to provide you with products and Services. Personal contact and credit card information is required to process your shipments. Account information is retained by us to enable our website to identify you, to allow you to set up and access your account. Individually identifiable credit card information is not stored on our site. This information is used only for these purposes and is only retained in transaction records required for internal management and auditing purposes, unless you are informed otherwise, or you provide your consent.
  • To understand your needs and preferences. We maintain a record of the Services you receive from us, and we may ask you for additional information so that we can serve you better.
  • To provide you with information you have requested, and to keep you informed with respect to ongoing changes to our website. Your email address will be used to send you occasional announcements regarding our service. You can withdraw your consent for such mailings at any time by contacting us as set out below.
  • To develop, enhance or provide new products and Services. We may from time-to-time conduct research, requesting input from our visitors to help us improve our website, products and Services in an effort to serve you better. Your participation in such surveys is voluntary, and in some cases, you may have the option to participate anonymously. However, your name, address, email and telephone number may be required to take advantage of bonuses or other benefits which are available to survey participants, in which case your contact information will only be used for notification and fulfillment purposes.
  • To manage and administer our business. The nature of the internet is such that it passively and automatically collects certain information about a user’s traffic patterns, which may be linked to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These are unique internet “addresses” assigned to all Web users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). Server logs record statistical information, such as visitors’ IP addresses, type of operating systems, time and duration of visit, web pages requested, and identify visitors by categories such as domains and browser types. These statistics are only used on an aggregate basis and will not contain any information that could identify you personally.
  • To meet legal, regulatory, security and processing requirements (such as in response to a court order), and otherwise as permitted or required by law. If we are required to use your personal information for purposes not identified to you or as set out above, these purposes will be described to you before the use of the information. We will not use your information for any other purpose without your consent.

 

Processing a Shipment

Certain information is required for both a ship-from and ship-to location in order to prepare shipping documents. Information collected includes but is not limited to:

  • Business / contact name
  • Phone number
  • Email
  • Full addresses

This information will be transferred to the appropriate Shipping Providers and Insurance Provider such that the requested services can be fulfilled. The information will also be used to provide support on the services in the event of an issue. Shipping documents cannot be prepared without all the required information. By processing a shipment, you are confirming that you have permission from all parties to disclose the information required to complete the transaction.

 

Cookies

Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of our internet servers or through the use of “cookies”. Cookies are small text files containing a unique identification number that identifies your browser – but not you – to our servers each time you visit our website. Cookies are not pervasive or invasive programs that enter a user’s system and damage files. They simply tell us which pages of our website are visited and by how many visitors. Cookies cannot, by themselves, disclose the individual identity of any site user, and we never combine information gathered by a cookie with personally identifiable information like your name, telephone number or email address, without your consent.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that you must have cookies enabled in your browser if you wish to make a purchase on our website, log into your account or download files.

 

Third Parties’ Access to Information

ShipTime Canada Inc. is not in the business of selling customer information to others. Our customer information is not available for sale to any outside entity. We contract with third parties to fulfil certain functions on our behalf, such as providing marketing assistance, analyzing data, preparing and maintaining site content, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These agents have access to customer information only as required in order to help them perform their functions on our behalf, but they are not allowed to use that information for any other purpose and must keep such information confidential.

Customer information is a valuable business asset. If for any reason ShipTime transfers or divests itself of its business assets, our customer information will be transferred as one of those business assets.

ShipTime will release customer information to the appropriate law enforcement, governmental or other authorities if legally required to do so. ShipTime will also release such information if we feel it is necessary in order to protect our rights or the rights of our customers, affiliates, partners or any other party and for purposes of protection from fraud and credit risk.

 

External Links

The ShipTime website and web application may contain links or references to other websites to which this privacy policy does not apply. These sites are not owned or controlled by ShipTime, and ShipTime is not responsible for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information or the privacy practices of other organizations or other websites to which our site may refer visitors or provide links for. When submitting personal information on such other websites, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of those sites.

 

Non-Secure Website Areas

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., email address, password) on non-secure areas of the ShipTime.com website, that information can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of ShipTime Canada Inc.

 

Security

We store member and password information on our website in a secure manner. We store such information in a manner not accessible to web browsers, behind firewall and password protection, or offline.

This site has security measures in place (including the use of Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) encryption technology) to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information under our control. All order forms are encrypted and are transmitted via a secure server.

Employees, agents, and affiliates of ShipTime who require access to your personal information in order to fulfil their job or contractual requirements will have access to your personal information to the extent necessary to fulfil such requirements.

 

The Security of the Site

ShipTime maintains reasonable safeguards and personnel policies that are designed to guard the Site, the Services, our systems and our users’, business partners’ and others’ information. For example, for the security of your online visit to the Site, ShipTime may make use of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and/or authentication procedures.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while ShipTime strives to protect your information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security of any content you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personal information, ShipTime will notify you as necessary so you can take appropriate protective steps. Unless you indicate otherwise, we may notify you under such circumstances using the primary email address in your account.

 

Updating Your Account Information

If you wish to update your personal information on ShipTime, use the “My Info” option after logging in to access your account information and make changes online.

 

Removing Your Account Information

Upon request, ShipTime will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and their personal information from our databases; however, it may be impossible to delete a user’s entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. You can email us at techsupport@shiptime.com to request that your account information be deleted from our servers.

 

Your Consent

Consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information may be given in various ways. Consent can be express (e.g., orally, electronically or on a form you may sign describing the intended uses and disclosures of personal information) or implied (e.g., when you provide information necessary for a service you have requested, or in some circumstances where notice has been provided to you about our intentions with respect to your personal information and you have not withdrawn your consent for an identified purpose). Consent may be given by your authorized representative (such as a legal guardian or a person having a power of attorney).
