Privacy Policy

CARGOROOT ("CARGOROOT", "we", "us" or "our") provides an automation-first platform for freight forwarders. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website, demo requests, and the CARGOROOT platform (together, the "Services").

01Who we are

The data controller for personal information collected through the Services is [Company Legal Name], located at [Registered Address]. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us using the details in the "Contact us" section below.

02Information we collect

Information you give us. When you request a demo, contact us, or use the platform, we may collect:

  • Identity and contact details — such as your name, company name, mobile number, email address and city.
  • Business details — such as your approximate monthly shipment or job volume and the enquiries, quotations and jobs you manage in the platform.
  • Communications — messages you send us and records of your correspondence, including over WhatsApp and email.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website we may collect limited technical data such as device and browser type, approximate location derived from your IP address, and how you interact with the site, using cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies").

03How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to demo requests and enquiries, and set up and provide the Services;
  • Operate platform features you use — including CRM, quotations, operations, tracking and GST billing;
  • Send transactional and follow-up communications over WhatsApp and email that you or your customers have opted to receive;
  • Improve, secure and support the Services, and understand how they are used;
  • Comply with legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

We rely on lawful bases including your consent, the performance of a contract with you, our legitimate business interests, and compliance with legal obligations.

04WhatsApp & email communications

The platform can send automated follow-ups, quotation and milestone updates and reminders over WhatsApp and email. These messages are sent on your behalf, based on the rules you configure and the contact details you provide for your customers. You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis and any necessary consent to contact those recipients. Recipients can opt out of non-essential messages at any time, and we honour opt-out requests.

05How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

  • Service providers who help us run the Services (for example hosting, messaging, email and analytics providers), under contracts that require them to protect it;
  • Professional advisers, and authorities or regulators where required by law;
  • A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition or reorganisation, subject to this policy.

06Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide the Services and to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

07Data security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your information we cannot guarantee absolute security.

08Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, update or delete your personal information, to withdraw consent, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.

09Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences and understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.

10Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and where appropriate we will provide a more prominent notice.
