• Anyone who visits our public website located at www.cranefreight.com (the “Website”);

• Anyone who visits, follows, or interacts with us through social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn (“Social Media Accounts”);

• Prospective or current Crane Freight customers whose data we collect through our sales and marketing systems, including, without limitation, email, our customer resource management (CRM) systems, direct marketing systems, and teleconferencing systems (collectively, with the Website and Social Media, the “Sales and Marketing Systems”);

• Crane Freight customers whose data we process in our on-line tracking application or our portal web application (the “Apps”); and

• Crane Freight customers whose data we process in our email, operations, shipping and logistics, cloud storage, accounting, management, or services-related information systems (together with the Apps, the “Services”).

  This Policy does not apply to Personal Data we collect by other means, such as Personal Data that we collect from our employees or contractors.

  Controllership

   

  Within the scope of this Policy, Crane Freight acts as a data controller for the Personal Data we process.

  Basis of Processing

   

  We may process your Personal Data on the basis of:

• the need to perform a contract with you;

• our legitimate interests, such as our interest in marketing our Services;

• the need to comply with the law; or

• any other ground, as required or permitted by law.

  Where we receive your Personal Data as part of providing our Services to you based on a contract, we require such Personal Data to be able to carry out the contract. Without that necessary Personal Data, we will not be able to provide the Services to you.

  How We Receive Personal Data

   

  We may receive your Personal Data when:

• you provide it directly to us as part of interacting with our Sales and Marketing Systems or using our Services;

• our customers (including their employees, contractors, and other representatives of the company) provide it to us;

• we receive it from other companies within our corporate group;

• our service providers provide it to us;

• we purchase lists of individuals who might be interested in becoming customers of ours; or

• when a friend of yours or one of our partners or customers refers you to our Services by providing your Personal Data to us.

  Categories of Personal Data

   

  We may process the following types of Personal Data:

• biographical information, such as first and last name;

• contact information, such as email address and postal addresses;

• employment information, such as the name of your employer, your job title, and your employer’s contact information;

• responding to your requests or questions; and

• sending you email marketing communications about our business which we think may interest you.

  Data Retention

   

  When the purposes of processing are satisfied, we will either delete the related Personal Data within six months or retain for as long as required by applicable law.

  Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

   

  We may share Personal Data with our subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as with our service providers, who process Personal Data on our behalf, and who agree to use the Personal Data only to assist us in supporting our Sales and Marketing Systems, providing our Services, or as required by law. Our service providers may provide:

• CRM software providers and third-party CRM developers;

• warehouse and shipping management software providers;

• internal IT infrastructure providers;

• cloud storage and sharing software providers; and

• email spam filtering software providers.

Some of these third parties may be located outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. In some cases, the European Commission may not have determined that the countries’ data protection laws provide a level of protection equivalent to European Union law. We will only transfer your Personal Data to third parties in these countries when there are appropriate safeguards in place. These may include the European-Commission-approved standard contractual data protection clauses.

Other Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We may disclose your Personal Data to the extent required by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that we need to disclose it in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings (whether initiated by governmental/law enforcement officials, or private parties). We may also disclose your Personal Data if we sell or transfer all or some of our company’s business interests, assets, or both, or in connection with a corporate restructuring. Finally, we may disclose your Personal Data to our subsidiaries or affiliates, but only if necessary, for business purposes, as described in the section above.

We reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data, (which does not include any Personal Data) about individuals whose Personal Data we process in connection with providing our Services, for any legal business purpose. These purposes may include analyzing usage trends or seeking compatible advertisers, sponsors, and customers.

If we must disclose your Personal Data to governmental/law enforcement officials, we may not be able to ensure that those officials will maintain the privacy and security of your Personal Data.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of the above rights, please submit your request at [email protected] or call us at +1 888-870-2726.

A request to disclose or delete your information must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information, a resident of California and it must describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

There may be circumstances where we will not be able to fulfill your request. For example, if you request deletion, we may need to retain certain personal information to comply with our legal obligations or for other permitted purposes. In such cases, we will inform you of the reasons we cannot fulfill your request.

If you are submitting a request through an authorized agent, we may require you to (1) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and (2) verify your own identity and residency directly. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf.
