Why do we collect and use your personal information?

We collect your personal information to better communicate about our services, and provide you with the most dedicated experience for shipping your valuable goods.

This processing relies on commercial legitimate interest, since we are operating in the same industry, and you might be in need of transportation for your valuable goods.

Note that for custom quotes and unfinished quotes, we may also collect your personal information. This processing relies on the execution of pre-contractual measures.

We also execute statistical analyses but only on anonymized data.

  • Your name;

  • Your company name;

  • Your company’s mail address;

  • Our voice conversations, if any.

  • Software processors that we use as our CRM and client management tools providers, calling application, emailing and internal messaging systems, social media targeting softwares, data analysis and processing tools

When we need to transfer your personal data outside of the European Union, the transfer relies on one of the following mechanisms:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission which regulate the transfer of personal data outside of the EU between the different entities of Convelio Group (in order to provide you with the quickest answer as possible)

  • Transfers are necessary in the case of a quote request with a pickup or destination outside of the EU. In that case, we require strict contractual warranties from our suppliers.

  • We sign standard contractual clauses with our IT services providers, who may locate their storage servers and data centres or their maintenance team in the US or other countries.

Convelio has taken all necessary and adequate measures to ensure a level of protection and security of personal data in accordance with the prerequisites imposed by European Union law and the applicable regulation.
