Shipsi provides a service to online retailers and merchants (“Merchants” or “Customers”) that enables the Merchant to offer its end-user customers (“End Users”) expedited shipping and logistics services for the products ordered by the End User. Shipsi has arrangements with delivery and pick-up organizations (“Partners”) whereby such Partners co-ordinate with couriers and drivers (“Couriers”) and offer delivery solutions via the Shipsi platform (“Platform”) to the End User. Shipsi collects information under the direction of its Merchant customers and its Partners and has no direct relationship with the individuals, such as End User or Couriers, whose personal data it processes. If you are an End User, Courier or customer or partner of a Merchant or Partner and would no longer like to be contacted by them, please contact the Merchant or Partner that you interact with directly via channels outlined in their own privacy policy. Anyone who uses our services directly are referred to below as “Users”.

How Shipsi Shares Information It Collects From Users

How Shipsi Shares Information It Collects From Users

A. Sharing between Merchants and Partners

To facilitate access to End Users to enable them to select the delivery method for their orders placed with Merchants, Couriers and End Users may have access to certain information about each other. When Couriers are offered delivery opportunities, they may be able to see the Customer’s delivery location. Once a Courier accepts a delivery request from a Customer, the Customer may see the Courier’s first name and last initial, photo, aggregate rating, real-time location which may reveal locations of other

Customer to whom a Courier is providing a delivery, and/or other information to identify the Courier, including, but not limited to the Courier’s license plate, and color, make, and model of vehicle. Couriers may see the Customer’s first name and last initial, and the Customer’s delivery address and/or real-time location. Shipsi allows End Users and Couriers are able to call and text each other. Customer and Courier phone numbers are masked and, only in rare instances, may they be able to see the other’s phone number. As described above, End Users are able to see a Courier’s aggregate ratings during a delivery. After a delivery, we may share feedback or comments that an End User provides with a Courier but we will not identify the End User. In relation to the information described in this paragraph: a. if you are an End User, please refer to your Merchant’s own privacy policy; and b. if you are a Courier, please refer to the Partner’s own privacy policy.

B. Sharing between Couriers and Merchants

Before a Courier picks up the delivery from the Merchant and/or Partner and during the delivery, the Merchant and/or Partners may be able to see the Courier’s name, real-time location, and may be able to communicate directly with the Courier. This information is subject to the Merchant or Partner’s own privacy policy, as applicable.

C. Sharing between End Users and Merchants

We may share certain End User transactional details with Merchants from whom the End User has placed orders, such as name, phone number, email address, and/or any physical address associated with the account or any delivery. Merchants may also have access to End Users public profile image, feedback, and/or order information, including purchase history and other information related to orders with the particular Merchant. Such information provided to Merchants is not subject to this Privacy Policy, but instead is subject to Merchant’s own privacy policies which may allow Merchant to, among other things, send End Users marketing communications and other promotional content.
