How Does SEKO Keep My Personal Information Secure?

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information that we collect and process about you.  The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your Personal Information.  Specific measures we use include URL PROTECTION, ATTACHMENT PROTECTION, INTRUSION PREVENTION PROGRAM, SECURE MESSAGING OPTIONS FOR SENSITIVE EMAIL and UNIFIED SECURITY MANAGEMENT which help aid in our efforts to secure your information.  If you have further questions on our Cyber Security procedures, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to Contact Us” heading below. Additional information regarding how we safeguard your Personal Information is also available in our Client Privacy Policy.

Use of Cookies:

This Site may use cookies to collect and use Personal Information about you as well as to optimize our website functionality. For further information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see our Cookie Statement which can be found at www.sekologistics.com/us/privacy-center/  

Legal Basis For Processing Personal Information:

Our legal basis under applicable data privacy laws for collecting and using the Personal Information described above depends on the type of personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it and the applicable .  

However, we will normally collect Personal Information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so.  In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Information from you or may otherwise need the Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).  

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our platform and communicating with you as necessary to provide our services to you and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, handling a shipment either to or from you or another party, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.  We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to Contact Us” heading below.

International Data Transfers:

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident.  These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country and, in some cases, may not be as protective. Specifically, our Website servers are located in the United States and our group companies and third party service providers and partners operate in countries around the world.  This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Website Privacy Notice & Terms of Use.  SEKO will ensure and take measurable steps to protect your data by introducing suitable legal mechanism, e.g. SEKO Logistics Data Processing Agreement which contains contractual protections for the transfer of personal information among various jurisdictions (including, e.g., the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses), where required and based on the processing of the information.  

Data Retention:

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).  When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information and no applicable law exists requiring its retention, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How Your Personal Information May Be Used:

Some Data supplied by you enables this Site to assist you to create, view, and track your shipments. The Site also uses the information to deliver the best user experience, customize this Site to your preferences, and communicate relevant messages to you. Data submitted relating to applications you submit is used in SEKO’s vetting process to explore possible partnerships and relationships.

SEKO may share Personal Information to help route, track, and organize your shipments as well as to evaluate any applications you submit. SEKO may contact you from time to time. SEKO may also share information with third parties in situations where we believe, in good faith, that the law requires us to do so.

Use of Personal Information for Marketing:

SEKO uses Google AdWords and other third-party vendors to advertise SEKO across the Internet, in particular on the Google Display Network.  AdWords remarketing and similar audience features will display ads to you based on website activity within the SEKO website as well as on other Google-affiliated sites by placing a cookie on your web browser.  This cookie does not in any way identify you or give access to your computer or mobile device.  The cookie is used to indicate to other websites that “This person visited a particular page, so show them ads relating to that page.”  Google AdWords remarketing and similar audience features allow us to tailor our marketing to better suit your needs and only display ads that are relevant to you.  If you would like information on opting out of receiving ads, please see the section and follow the link to see our Cookie Statement.
