Information collected automatically
When you visit the Website, our hosting and security provider receives technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested and the date and time. If you choose “Accept all” in our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website, for example which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, and the pages you view. We do not load it unless you accept.

- To understand how the Website is used and improve it, if you accept analytics cookies
- To meet legal, tax, insurance and record-keeping obligations, and to protect our rights
How form submissions are handled
The Website does not store form submissions in a database. When you submit a form, it is sent as an email to our staff through Microsoft 365, and the message is kept in our email system.
Who we share information with
We share information only as needed to run our business and the Website, with:
- Service providers that host and secure the Website (Cloudflare) and provide our email (Microsoft)
- Google, for Google Analytics if you accept analytics cookies, for the embedded Google Map if you load it, and for web fonts
- Carriers, vendors and business partners, when needed to quote, ship, store or deliver your goods
- Professional advisers, insurers and authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use advertising cookies on the Website.
How long we keep information
We keep inquiry emails and related business records for as long as needed to respond to you, provide our services and meet our legal and business record-keeping needs, and then delete them in line with our records practices.
Your choices and California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, you can ask us to tell you what personal information we have collected about you, to give you a copy, to correct it, or to delete it, subject to legal exceptions. You also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information in that way. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) on the Website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information such as payment card or government ID numbers through the forms.

The Website is intended for business use and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Links to other sites
The Website links to other sites and services, such as social media pages, carrier tracking pages and our client login for warehouse management, which have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for them.
