1. Information We Collect
a) Shipping Calculator
Our shipping calculator does not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). All calculations are performed locally in your browser. Any data you enter (shipping volume, package size, destination) is processed ephemerally to generate your result and is not stored, transmitted, or sold to any third party.
b) Email Address (Audit Report)
When you request a personalized Shipping Audit Report, you voluntarily provide your email address. This is the only personal data we collect.
c) Cookies & Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site (page views, traffic sources, time on site). This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser to collect this information. You can opt out at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We also use Google Tag Manager (GTM) as a tag management system. GTM itself does not collect any personal data — it acts solely as a container to deploy other tools such as GA4.
Google Consent Mode v2 — We strictly adhere to Google Consent Mode v2. No analytical or advertising cookies (GA4, GTM, Reddit Ads) are deployed without your explicit « Accept All » consent via our cookie banner. If you decline or do not interact with the banner, all tracking scripts remain blocked.
