Introduction
We, Cold Chain Logistics Ltd, value your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect about customers, senders, recipients, website/app users, and drivers (“you”), why we collect it, how we use and share it, and your rights.

Communications: customer support interactions, call recordings, email/chat logs.
Any other data you provide (special handling instructions, government IDs when required).
Legal bases for processing
We process personal data to perform a contract (deliver services), comply with legal obligations, protect vital interests and for our legitimate interests (service improvement, fraud prevention, communications), and where required, with your consent (marketing, precise location tracking).

Sharing and disclosure We may share personal data with:

Third parties for fraud detection and risk management.
Law enforcement, regulators, or courts when required by law or to respond to legal process.
Buyers or investors in a business transaction (subject to confidentiality protections).
Other parties you authorize (senders, recipients, merchants).
We do not sell personal data for money. If we ever do, we will give notice and allow opt-out where required.
International transfers
If data is transferred outside your country, we will use appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses, approved frameworks) to protect it according to applicable law.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, to satisfy legal, tax, or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes. Retention periods depend on the record type (e.g., transactional records: typically X years — specify local legal minimum).
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data (encryption in transit and at rest where feasible, access controls, regular security assessments). No system is perfectly secure; if a breach occurs we will follow applicable notification laws.
Your rights
Subject to local law, you may have rights to:
Access and receive a copy of your personal data.
Rectify or update incorrect data.
Delete or request erasure of data (with limits when retention required).
Restrict or object to processing.
Port data to another provider where technically feasible.
Withdraw consent to processing that relies on consent. To exercise rights, contact us (see below). We may require verification and may refuse requests where permitted by law.
Location & tracking controls
We will request permission before collecting precise device location data. You may disable location services in your device settings, but doing so may limit functionality (e.g., live tracking).
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tech for functionality, analytics, and marketing. Browser/device settings may be used to manage preferences. See our Cookie Notice [link] for details.
Children
Our services are not directed to children under 16 (or local age of consent). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it.

Our website/app may contain links or use third-party services. This policy does not cover their practices. We encourage you to review third-party privacy policies.

We may update this policy. We will post the updated policy with a new effective date and, if required, notify users of material changes.
