Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2024-01-11

This Privacy Policy describes how Marco Brenner ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit euforwarder.com (the "Site"). The Site is a personal professional website operated by Marco Brenner, a EU freight forwarding blogger based in Montreal, Canada. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Overview

We operate a static informational website. No e-commerce checkout runs on this domain, and visitors cannot create profiles here. We publish professional biography, casework summaries, and contact information in a straightforward format comparable to a brochure-style site.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email Marco Brenner at marco@euforwarder.com, we receive your correspondence including sender address and body text. We do not use contact emails for unrelated marketing. We do not require account registration.

Automatic technical data. Like most websites, the Site is delivered through hosting infrastructure such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. These logs help maintain security and diagnose outages. Marco Brenner does not embed Google Analytics or similar trackers unless explicitly noted in a future update to this policy.

Cookies. The Site does not set tracking cookies for marketing. Technical cookies from Cloudflare or similar hosts may appear for performance. Browser settings let you block or delete cookies.

How we use information

Contact messages are read by Marco Brenner or authorized assistants to respond to professional inquiries. Personal data is not sold to brokers. Visitor browsing is not profiled for ads. Messages may be kept for compliance or continuity purposes unless you request deletion where applicable law allows.

Legal bases and compliance

If you are in the EU, UK, or Canada, privacy laws may grant you access or deletion rights. Our processing is generally based on legitimate interests and consent for direct messages. You may contact us to ask what data we hold about your messages.

Third-party services

Static files are served through a CDN. Refer to your host's documentation for subprocessors. If Google Fonts are loaded, Google may receive IP data. No Facebook or LinkedIn embed trackers are used.

Children

This Site is not aimed at children under 16. If a child contacted us, we would delete the message.

Security

We use HTTPS and reputable hosting to protect data in transit. Users should avoid sending highly sensitive documents unencrypted via email. Sensitive legal documents should be exchanged through agreed secure methods.

Changes

This page may be revised without prior notice. Please review periodically.

Data retention

Email messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain professional records. CDN logs may be purged automatically. Deletion requests will be honored when no legal hold applies.

International transfers

Hosting may process data in the United States or other regions. Cross-border transfer safeguards depend on provider terms.

Your choices

You can browse without submitting personal information. To limit cookies, adjust browser settings. For confidential matters, ask about encrypted intake.

California and regional notices

California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding personal information. Nevada residents may opt out of certain data sales - we do not sell data. Responses will be provided within legally required timeframes.

Do Not Track

DNT settings have no effect beyond your browser's default behavior.
