1. Introduction
Air Cargo Global ("we," "us," or "our") provides shipping, logistics, shopping-account, payment, notification, and customer support services through our website, customer portal, mobile experiences, and related communications.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you create an account, request a quote, use a shopping address, submit shipment or payment details, communicate with support, receive notifications, or interact with our marketing and advertising.

Cookies and similar technologies: Cookies, pixels, local storage, SDKs, and similar tools used for security, preferences, analytics, advertising, and service improvement
Create and manage your Air Cargo Global account, customer number, shopping address, recipients, and profile settings
Provide quotes, accept cargo, manage packages, prepare invoices, track shipments, verify payments, and coordinate delivery or collection
Process shopping, buy-for-me, consolidation, repacking, warehouse, and support requests
Send service messages such as account verification, shipment status updates, invoices, payment reminders, support replies, security notices, and transactional emails
Send marketing communications, offers, campaign messages, referral updates, and promotions where permitted by law or with your consent
Personalize, measure, and improve our website, app, services, advertising, customer support, route planning, pricing tools, and operational workflows
Prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, payment misuse, prohibited-item shipments, and other harmful activity
Meet legal, tax, accounting, customs, aviation-security, consumer-protection, and regulatory obligations
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where UK GDPR, GDPR, or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more lawful bases depending on the activity:
Contract: To provide requested account, shipping, payment, invoice, support, and delivery services
Legal obligation: To comply with customs, security, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and regulatory duties
Legitimate interests: To secure our services, improve operations, prevent fraud, keep business records, communicate about active services, and understand service performance
Consent: For certain marketing, cookies, personalized advertising, push notifications, and optional communications where consent is required
5. Marketing, Advertising, and Analytics
We may use email marketing tools, analytics services, advertising platforms, and business tools such as Google and Meta technologies to measure performance, understand how people interact with our services, and show relevant promotions. This may involve cookies, pixels, conversion events, hashed contact details, aggregated data, or other identifiers, subject to applicable law and platform rules.
You can opt out of marketing emails by using unsubscribe links or account settings, and you can manage ad personalization through Google, Meta, browser, and device settings. Opting out of marketing does not stop transactional or service messages needed to provide your account, shipment, invoice, payment, or support services.
6. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information only where needed with:
Shipping and logistics partners: Warehouses, airlines, couriers, customs brokers, local delivery partners, and route or destination partners involved in handling cargo
Payment and banking providers: Payment processors, banks, mobile-money providers, and verification partners needed to process or reconcile payments
Technology providers: Hosting, database, authentication, email, SMS, phone verification, push notification, file storage, analytics, monitoring, and customer support providers
Advertising and measurement partners: Where permitted, platforms that help us measure campaigns, prevent duplicate ads, understand conversions, or reach relevant audiences
Authorities and regulators: Customs, border, tax, law-enforcement, aviation-security, courts, or government agencies where required or lawful
Business transfers: Parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of all or part of our business
Our service providers are expected to protect personal information and use it only for the services they provide to us or as otherwise allowed by law.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
Essential purposes: Authentication, session security, fraud prevention, load balancing, and core site functions
Preferences: Remembering settings such as display choices and account preferences
Analytics: Measuring traffic, feature usage, conversions, and service performance
Marketing: Delivering, limiting, and measuring advertising on Google, Meta, and other platforms where permitted
You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Some cookies are necessary for security and account functions, so disabling them may affect your ability to use parts of the service.
8. Data Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, role-based permissions, audit logs, secure hosting, monitoring, and procedures for responding to suspected incidents.
No website, app, database, or transmission method is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and telling us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed to provide our services, manage your account, complete shipments, verify payments, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and meet legal, tax, accounting, customs, and regulatory requirements.
Some shipping, invoice, payment, audit, customs, and accounting records may be retained for several years where required or appropriate. Marketing contact data is retained until you unsubscribe, your account is deleted, or retention is no longer needed, subject to suppression records required to respect your opt-out.
10. International Data Transfers
Because Air Cargo Global provides international logistics services, your information may be processed in the United Kingdom, countries where our service providers operate, and countries connected to a shipment, payment, support request, or delivery. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections, adequacy mechanisms, or other lawful transfer tools.

13. Third-Party Links and Services
Our services may link to third-party websites, payment providers, merchants, app stores, advertising platforms, review platforms, or social media services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for those practices.
