Updated: 10/23/2018
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is between you and Starline Way, on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and its affiliates (collectively, “Starline Way”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and describes Starline Way’s treatment of information, including personally identifiable information or personal data (“Personal Information”) that Starline Way collects from you when you are accessing and/or using Starline Way’s services, its websites, software and mobile applications, including the website: starlineway.com (collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as the “Site” or “Services”). By accessing and/or using the Site, you agree that information you have provided, or provide in the future, including but not limited to Personal Information, may be used and disclosed as described below.
We collect your Personal Information to provide shipping services for goods you seek to send to or from the United States, and if you so elect, to effectuate Starline Way as your customs power of attorney.
What Types of Personal Information Does Starline Way Gather?
Information we collect from you:
All information that you input when accessing and/or using the Site or Services is subject to collection and storage by Starline Way. Such information may include, but is not limited to, your name, company name, your job title, email and physical address, and telephone number.
We collect information from you when you use our web-based tools, when you subscribe to any of our newsletters or email alerts, or fill out a form.
Information Obtained From the Credit Application
If you have elected to request that we provide you services by extending you credit, you have also provided additional Personal Information on the Credit Application. This form is completely optional and is not required for us to provide services to you. We cannot, however, extend credit to you without this information. To obtain insurance for these transactions, we share your Personal Information provided on the Credit Application with Euler, a trade transaction insurer. Euler then reviews your information to determine what rate it will charge us for insurance on your transaction, which in turn, determines whether Starline Way will extend you credit. We also save your information on your Credit Application in case we need to send you a bill or take legal action to collect any debt you owe us. Euler’s privacy policy can be found by clicking this link. Otherwise, rest assured that Starline Way respects your personal information and that we maintain compliance with FACTA’s (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) “Red Flag Rules”, which are intended to identify the potential for, as well as the prevention of, identity theft.
Information Obtained From the Customs Bond Application and Indemnity
If you have elected to apply for a customs bond, you also provided additional personal information on the Customs Bond Application and Indemnity, which is a third-party form from Avalon Risk Management.
