Personal data (also referred to as data or your data) refers to any information or set of information from which we are able, directly or indirectly, to personally identify you, in particular by reference to an identifier, e.g. first name and last name, email address, phone number, etc. Your personal data does not include anonymous or non-personal information, i.e. data that cannot be associated with or tracked back to you.

We encourage you to take some time to read this statement in full.

How do we collect personal data?

Direct Collection. We obtain personal data directly in a number of ways. This includes gathering data from individuals who:

  • provide us with a business card

  • complete our online or off-line forms

  • subscribe to our newsletters and preference centre

  • register for seminars

  • attend meetings or events we host

  • visit our offices.

We may also obtain personal data directly when we are establishing a business relationship, performing professional services through a contract, or through our hosted software applications.

Indirect Collection. We obtain personal data indirectly from a number of sources, including recruitment services and clients. We may attach personal data to our customer relationship management records to better understand our clients and subscribers, satisfy a legal obligation, or pursue our legitimate interests.

Public sources. Personal data may be obtained from public registers (such as Registrar of Companies), news articles, sanctions lists and Internet searches.

Social and professional networking sites. If you register or login to our websites using social media (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter) to authenticate your identity, we will collect information or content needed for the registration or login that you permitted your social media provider to share with us. This information may include your name, email address and, depending on your privacy settings, additional details about you, so please review the privacy controls on the applicable service to set how much information you want shared with us.

Business clients. Our business clients may contact us to perform professional services, which can involve sharing of personal data they control as part of that engagement. For example, we get a shipper or consignee contact data as part of a shipping order and we often need to use personal data to provide global mobility services. Our services may also include processing personal data under our clients’ control on our hosted software applications, which may be governed by different privacy terms and policies.

We use contractual protections for the transfer of personal data among various jurisdictions (e.g., the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses).

Do we use cookies?

Our websites may use cookies. Where cookies are used, a statement will be sent to your browser explaining the use of cookies.

What are your data protection rights?

Your data protection rights are highlighted here. To submit a data request please send us an email at admin@islcargo.com.

Access. You can ask us to verify whether we are processing personal data about you, and if so, to provide more specific information.

Correction. You can ask us to correct our records if you believe they contain incorrect or incomplete information about you.

Erasure. You can ask us to erase (delete) your personal data after you withdraw your consent to processing or when we no longer need it for the purpose it was originally collected.

Processing restrictions. You can ask us to temporarily restrict our processing of your personal data if you contest the accuracy of your personal data, prefer to restrict its use rather than having us erase it, or need us to preserve it for you to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. A temporary restriction may apply while verifying whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to process it. You can ask us to inform you before we lift that temporary processing restriction.

Data portability. In some circumstances, where you have provided personal data to us, you can ask us to transmit that personal data (in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format) directly to another company if is technically feasible.

Automated Individual Decision-making. You can ask us to review any decisions made about you which we made solely based on automated processing, including profiling, that produced legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affected you.

Right to Object to Direct Marketing including Profiling. You can object to our use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling. We may need to keep some minimal information to comply with your request to cease marketing.

Right to Withdraw Consent. You can withdraw your consent that you have previously given to one or more specified purposes to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. It may mean we are not able to provide certain products or services to you and we will advise you if this is the case.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or to exercise any of your other rights. This helps us to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. No fee is required to make a request unless your request is clearly repetitive, unfounded or excessive. Depending on the circumstances, we may be unable to comply with your request based on lawful grounds.

How safe is your personal data?

We have put appropriate technical and organizational security policies and procedures in place to protect personal data (including sensitive personal data) from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. We aim to ensure that access to your personal data is limited only to those who need to access it.

Those individuals who have access to the data are required to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

If you have access to parts of our websites or use our services, you remain responsible for keeping your user ID and password confidential. Please be aware that the transmission of data via the Internet is not completely secure. Whilst we do our best to try to protect the security of your personal data, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

How long do we retain personal data?

We retain personal data to provide our services, stay in contact with you and to comply with applicable laws, regulations and professional obligations that we are subject to. We retain personal data for as long as we have a legitimate business purpose to do so and where a specific legal, regulatory or contractual requirement applies. We will dispose of personal data in a secure manner when we no longer need it.
