Privacy Policy
Privacy and Protection Policy:
PROTECTION OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Please be aware that ZipX is a product of IBC Bermuda Ltd, a Bermuda Limited Company (Hereinafter “IBCB Ltd.”) as such by accepting the terms of this agreement you are transacting with IBCB Ltd. We understand the importance of privacy to our customers, visitors to our website and users of our mobile applications. For many years, our policy has been to treat what we learn about our customers as confidential. For example, we will not give or sell confidential or personal information about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide IBCB Ltd. services to the customer.
We collect and store information about every package we handle so that we can efficiently provide the package delivery services demanded by our customers. We use information about our customers, their packages, and their shipping activity to provide or enhance the services we make available to our customers, to enhance our ability to communicate with our customers about additional services they may find of value, to satisfy our legitimate business interests (including performing trend analysis and market studies), to set prices, establish credit, fulfill a Contract of Carriage or Service Agreement, accomplish the billing function, and to comply with government regulations. Although government regulations vary in the many countries in which we operate, they frequently include the reporting of information to transportation safety, customs, and other regulatory agencies.
As we collect and use information about our customers, we may contract with vendors to assist us in processing that information. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping to provide IBCB Ltd. services to our customers.
Some of the information collected by IBCB Ltd. is personal data or data which relates to an identifiable person. Examples of personal data are names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers, and telephone numbers. We never sell information to third parties that could be used to specifically identify an individual customer or group of customers. Anonymized data, with all names, addresses and other personally identifiable information removed, is sometimes shared with third parties. Finally, we do provide personal data to government agencies as required by law or regulation.
In addition to the uses of the information described in the paragraphs above, we collect telephone numbers and email addresses in the event that we have to contact the shipper, or the shipment recipient, to resolve a question or provide shipment status information. Email addresses are additionally used to communicate special offerings and company news that pertains to the customer.
SHIPMENT INFORMATION
Information, including personal information (name, address and phone number), provided as part of a shipping transaction represents a record of that business transaction and cannot be altered after the transaction is complete except as provided in the IBCB Ltd. Terms and Conditions. The IBCB Ltd. Terms and Conditions are available at https://www.zipx.bm/tandc
Although we make reasonable efforts to limit access to our facilities and vehicles to authorized personnel, we are not responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information that is printed and placed in plain view on a package or letter.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
IBCB Ltd. provides links to external sites as a convenience to the user. The inclusion of any link does not imply IBCB Ltd.’s endorsement of the external site company, its web site, or the products and services it promotes and sells. IBCB Ltd. is not responsible for the privacy practices and or the content of such websites.
SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF INFORMATION
We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. Access to customer information is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for that information.
IBCB Ltd. Internet sites are currently located in the United States. IBCB Ltd. Internet sites, and their supporting systems, employ generally accepted information security techniques such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access.
RETENTION OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
We retain information about customers as necessary for business purposes and as required by government regulation. For example, we retain information about packages, including names and addresses, so that we can provide proof of delivery information and to process claim requests. We carefully dispose of records and delete information when retention periods expire.
CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS ON THEIR PREMISES
Some information about IBCB Ltd. customers and their packages is stored in shipping systems located on customer premises or via our mobile application. Customers concerned about the security of their information in these systems should secure it by activating passwords and using physical access controls. When these systems (hardware or software) are provided by IBCB Ltd., we provide tools to facilitate customer efforts to safeguard their information.
