Your personal data may also be automatically collected when you browse Our Medias (read more about this in Our Cookies Policy). Sometimes, your personal data may be provided to Us by a third party, for instance when you are a named receiver, shipper, or consignee of a shipment that someone else has requested that We deliver from or to you.
How will we use your personal data?
- We will use your personal data only as needed to carry out the purpose for which it is collected, depending on the context in which it is collected and the nature of Our relationship with you. For instance:
