When We Share Personal Data About You

We may disclose personal data to others as follows:

With Your Consent or at Your Direction

We may disclose personal data about you to third parties with your consent, which we may get in writing, online, or orally. We may also share your personal data with third parties when you tell us to.

With the Account Holder

We may disclose personal data about an account user to the account holder (the party financially responsible for the account). The primary account holder may also authorize other users to access account information. If a business, governmental agency, or other individual obtains services for you, that entity or individual is our customer, and we may provide personal data about you or your use of our services to them or, if they tell us to, others.

To Our Service Providers

We use service providers who may need access to your personal data to do work for us. They’re contractually required to treat the personal data we provide as confidential and to use it only to provide the services we requested. Examples of the service providers we engage include transportation providers; payment processing services; print, mail, or email vendors; web hosting vendors; and cloud service providers.

To Other Third Parties

We share data with third parties for uses described in this notice or for purposes you have requested. For example, we may share data with credit bureaus and similarly regulated entities, and payment processors to help us provide you with the services you have requested. These third parties have their own privacy notices that apply to their use of the information we share.

In a Business Transfer or Transaction

We may disclose or transfer personal data about you as part of a corporate business transaction, like a merger or acquisition, divestiture, sale of company assets, or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership. In these cases, personal data could be transferred to third parties as a business asset.

For Legal Process and Protection

We may disclose personal data to third parties, including government authorities, for legal processes or protection of life and safety where we believe that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary, including:

- To enforce or apply agreements, or initiate, render, bill, and collect for services (including disclosure to collection agencies to obtain payment).
- To protect the rights, interests, property, or safety of Advantage Logistics LLC, our customers, and others
- In connection with claims, disputes, or litigation.
- To protect you or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of these services, and other fraudulent activity
- In an emergency.

 

How We Protect Your Data

We use administrative, technical, contractual, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data.  We can’t guarantee our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personal data. Be sure to use a strong password to access your information and not one you use for other services. You should also use multi-factor authentication where possible.

 

Your Personal Data Choices

We Do Not Sell Your Information

We don’t sell customer information to third parties. Of course, not all sharing of personal data is a sale, like when Advantage Logistics LLC shares your data with service providers to deliver our services.
