Freight Factoring Inc. (collectively, “us”, and "we") value our customers, their information, privacy and trust. This Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information through our website and mobile application. Specifically, this Policy applies to Freight Factoring Inc’ collection, use, storage, and transfer of information. If there is something you do not understand about our privacy practices, please feel free to contact us at support@freightfactoring.ai Throughout this Policy, we refer to the term “Personnel Information”. “Personal Information” is data about an individual who can be identified from that data, or by combining it with other data. Personal Information is usually your name in combination with another identifier, such as date of birth, postal address, email address, telephone number, or government-issued identification number. The specific definition of Personal Information varies from one jurisdiction to another. Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregated data that can no longer be used to identify a specific person, even if combined with other data. Many of our customers are businesses, rather than individuals. We do not consider Business Information, such as one’s position, business name, title, business email, business phone number, business address, business fax, and other similar business information, to be Personal Information.
We may collect your first name, your company, your email address, phone number and monthly business volume when you sign up to receive information about our products or services, request a price quote, or voluntarily submit other information to us. We use this information to provide the requested information. When you report a problem with our Site or services, we will collect your name, email address, and phone number, along with a description of your problem so that we may address your problem. When you contact us via the company email address, we will collect your email address and any information you include in your email to address your concerns similarly. We collect your name, address, phone number, and email address when you create an account on our Sites. When you register for or use the Freight Factoring Inc' online services or client portal, we collect your name, address, email address, phone number, your unique account ID, as well as information about your business such as your company’s name, company size, and business type. We use this information to confirm your registration initially and to confirm your identity when you later log into your account. We also use this information to confirm your registration, respond to customer service requests, administer your account, improve the operation of our application, improve the operation of our Site, conduct research and analysis of how our customers use our Site and assess which of our products and services may of interest to you. We will keep this information for as long as you have an account with us to allow us to verify your identity and to provide you with the account information you request. In addition, we may retain Personal Information from closed accounts to comply with national laws, prevent fraud, collect any money owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our Terms of Use or contractual rights, and take other reasonable actions permitted or required by applicable law. We may record and process telephone communication for training, quality assurance, and administration reasons. If required by law, we will obtain your prior consent to give you the option to object. In the absence of a legal obligation to the contrary, we keep your contact information for a year after your last contact with us. Our website is not directed to children under-age 13 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. Children under 13 should not provide their Personal Information to us through our Site, to customer service, or in writing. If we learn that Personal Information belonging to anyone under the age of 13 is stored on the Site, we will immediately delete such information and refrain from using it for any purpose.
In addition to collecting information directly from you as described in the previous section, we also automatically gather information when you browse or view our Site or use our FFI mobile application. For the Sites, this information may include Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, clickstream data, and other information related to your visit. For FFI , this information may include the type of phone or other mobile device you are using, the duration and frequency of your usage sessions, information regarding application crashes and screens you chose to view, gestures (i.e., taps, swipes, pinches, etc.) you use on the application, whether you are a first-time or a returning user, links you clicked on while in the application, and your flow and navigation path through the application. We use this browsing information to make sure that the Site and FFI, and their associated parts, are functioning properly, that the Site and FFI are displayed properly for your equipment and software, and that we can provide you with information useful to your location. There are “do not track” or similar browser choices available to internet users with respect to online web activity, but given the present lack of consensus of what constitutes an informed election, appropriate trigger or breadth of scope of such choice, our Site will not operate any differently when a “do not track” signal is received. In some of our email messages, you will find a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Sites. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click such links in our email messages.
We use technologies such as “cookies” so we can remember certain information about you, remember your preferences or recognize you when you return. They also help us compile aggregate data about website traffic and website interaction so that we can improve our website and protect it from fraud. A cookie is a text file that is stored on your computer. As text files, cookies cannot read information on your hard drive, run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can set your browser to decline all cookies automatically or to prompt you for a response each time a cookie is offered. If you decline cookies, you may find that you cannot access all of our Site’s features. During your browsing session, we use “session” cookies to store information and monitor Site function. For thirty minutes after your session, a cookie tracks the number of visitors to our Site. Until midnight of the day after your last session, a cookie tracks the number of times you visit the Site. For two weeks after your last session, a cookie retains the items you have place in the Site’ cart, in case you leave without purchasing and then return to make the purchase. There is a permanent cookie used to remember your password. Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs, are often used in combination with cookies. Often transparent, these images are part of web pages, and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages and to generate statistics about how our Sites are used. They are not used to accessing Personal Information. We also use log files when you visit our Site. Log files track IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP) identity, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We utilize this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, prevent fraud, track website navigation in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
We use Google Adwords and Google Analytics regarding our Site to gather data such as age, gender and interests to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. Google Adwords and similar programs from other companies help us target our online ads based on information collected directly from you or by automated means, like cookies. These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ Google Analytics collects anonymous information that is not used to identify a particular user. This information helps us better understand how visitors use our Sites, detect and defend against fraud and other security risks, and present advertisements, products, and/or services of interest to you. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”, located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ To learn about how to opt-out of Google Analytics, please visit http://tools.Google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
You may give consent for our Site to capture and record certain precise geo-location or global positioning data from your device in order to tailor information to your location. We may link such location data to other information that you provide to us or that may be accessed concerning your use of our Site. You should be able to manage how your mobile device and mobile browser share location information with us, as well as how your mobile browser handles cookies and related technologies, by adjusting your mobile device’s privacy and security settings.
