1. Introduction
Global Trade Industries LLC (“Global Trade Industries,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website at globaltradeindustriesworld.com (the “Site”), request a quote, or otherwise interact with our freight and logistics services.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways, depending on how you interact with us:
- Information you provide directly — such as your name, company, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, and shipment details (commodity, weight, dimensions, origin, destination) you submit when requesting a quote or booking.
- Information collected automatically — such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages viewed, referring URLs, and the dates and times of your visits, gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
- Information from third parties — such as carriers, customs authorities, insurers, payment processors, and analytics providers that help us operate our services and the Site.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Prepare quotes and provide freight, customs, and logistics services;
- Book and coordinate shipments and arrange delivery;
- Process payments and manage billing;
- Communicate shipment status, updates, and service notices;
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our services;
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, and technical problems; and
- Comply with customs, trade, tax, and other legal and regulatory obligations.
5. International Shipping Data
Please note: Providing freight and customs services between the United States and Brazil requires us to share certain shipment and party information with carriers, customs authorities, and regulators in both countries, as required by applicable trade and customs law. By using our services, you authorize these disclosures to the extent necessary to perform and lawfully clear your shipment.
7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you;
- Delete personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
- Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information; and
- Non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section. We will verify your request before responding, and you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.
8. Your Choices & Rights
Regardless of where you live, you may:
- Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any such message;
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; and
- Adjust your browser settings to manage cookies and tracking.
We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.
9. Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and to comply with our legal, customs, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations, and to resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.
11. Children's Privacy
Our Site and services are directed to businesses and adults and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
12. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites and services that we do not control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy practices before providing any information.
13. International Data Transfers
Because we operate between the United States and Brazil, your information may be processed in, and transferred to, countries other than the one in which you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers in accordance with applicable law.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
