This Privacy Policy is applicable to your use of this Website and all Flexpress applications, services (including payment services), products, and tools (collectively referred to as the “Services”), regardless of how you access or use these Services, including access via mobile devices and apps. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we may use the information, with whom we may share it, and the choices available regarding our use of the information.

 

We may need to update this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure compliance with applicable laws and to reflect changes in our business. We reserve the right to do so at any time.

We recommend that you regularly check the Site for any modifications to our Privacy Policy.

 

Country-specific and State-specific Privacy Policies

Automated Data Collection

When you use our Services or open our emails, certain information may be collected automatically, such as first-party cookies from our Website or third parties, including cookies from our partnering vendors, Flash cookies, local storage, web beacons, device identifiers, server logs, and other technologies. This information may include your device IP address, domain name, device identifiers, device and operating system type and characteristics, web browser characteristics, language preferences, clickstream data, your interactions with our Services (such as visited web pages, clicked links, and used features), referring pages, access dates and times, and other information regarding your use of our Services. Additionally, we may receive your device’s geolocation and other location-related information through GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi signals, and other technologies. Your device may notify you when the Services attempt to collect your precise geolocation.

 

A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, connects web pages to web servers and their cookies. It may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. Beacons in emails may help us track response rates, identify when our emails are accessed or forwarded, and serve other purposes mentioned above.

 

As required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before placing cookies or similar technologies on your computer

 

. You can manage cookie settings on your web browser to prevent certain types of cookies from being downloaded. Most web browsers provide instructions on how to stop accepting new cookies, receive notifications of new cookies, and disable existing cookies. Browser help menus or websites like www.allaboutcookies.org can guide you on managing cookie settings for your specific browser. Mobile device settings may allow you to restrict certain information obtained by automated means from being shared with app developers or operators like us. Please note that without cookies or similar automated tools, you may not be able to utilize all features of our Services.

 

The following types of cookies and similar technologies may be used on our Services:

 

First-Party Cookies Essential for Service Functionality:

We use first-party cookies to enable essential functions of the Services. These cookies keep track of your specified preferences, access your information for customized content when you log in, and manage service security.

 

First- and Third-Party Web Analytics Cookies:

Our Services may use third-party online analytics services. The providers of these services use automated technologies to collect data (such as email addresses, IP addresses, cookies, and device identifiers) to evaluate, for example, the usage of our Services and diagnose technical issues. Our Services may also use Full Story analytics cookies and similar technologies (local storage) to collect technical information from your device (such as IP address, device and operating system type, browser, and approximate geographic location based on your device’s IP address). This information helps us understand how you use our Services, troubleshoot issues, and improve their quality.

 

First- and Third-Party Advertising Cookies:

We and certain third parties may collect information about your online activities to provide personalized advertising about products and services. If we participate in advertising networks, you may encounter our ads on other websites or mobile apps. These networks track users’ online activities over time using automated means, including browser cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, server logs, and similar technologies. They use this information to display ads tailored to individual interests, track user activity across websites and apps, and build profiles of users’ online activities. Our ad networks may collect data about visits to our Services and other participating websites and apps, such as viewed pages or ads and actions taken. You can opt-out of ad network interest-based advertising in the U.S. by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices and http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. For the European Union, visit http://www.youronlinechoices.eu. Please note that our Services do not respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.

 

Third-Party Features to Improve Service Interactivity:

Our Services may support certain third-party services, including social sharing buttons (such as Facebook, Google, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube). These features use third-party cookies placed directly on your device by those services. The privacy practices of these third parties, including their information collection, are governed by their respective privacy notices. Flexpress is not responsible for these third parties’ information practices.

 

Chatbot Logs:

Our Services may utilize chatbots to provide automated customer assistance. Chatbots communicate with you using text on a digital message interface and artificial intelligence. Chatbots employ automated decision-making processes to determine appropriate responses based on your queries. They may receive message logs containing details of your account (such as username, email address, phone number, and address) and any content you submit through the chatbot for customer support purposes. If an outsourced chatbot vendor is used, the vendor will retain the message content, responses, and outcomes. This information is retained solely to provide customer support and enhance chatbot services’ quality.

 

Information Sharing

Apart from the limited Flexpress-related purposes stated in this Privacy Statement, we do not disclose your personally identifiable information to external parties. We neither sell nor rent your name, billing

 

 or mailing address, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information to third parties.

 

However, certain personally identifiable information provided to Flexpress may need to be disclosed to fulfill our services. For example, shipping information required by carriers must be shared to facilitate order delivery. We may also engage third-party service providers, such as website hosting, programming development, transaction processing, and statistical analysis. These service providers may require access to personally identifiable information strictly for service delivery or legal compliance. We do not authorize these service providers to use or disclose the information except as necessary for service provision or legal requirements.

 

As we continue to grow our business, we may sell or acquire businesses or assets. In the event of such transactions, personal and other information provided to us or collected about you may be included as part of the transferred assets.

 

We may also disclose information about you in the following circumstances: (1) if required by law or legal process (e.g., court order or subpoena); (2) in response to requests from government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities; (3) to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; (4) to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (6) with your consent.

 

Data Transfers

The personal information we collect may be transferred to recipients in countries other than the one where the information was initially collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the original country. When transferring your information to recipients in other countries, we protect it as described in this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements to ensure adequate protection.

 

Your Rights and Choices

We provide certain choices regarding the personal information we collect about you. If you have created an account, you can manage your communication preferences by logging into your account and accessing “Communication Preferences.” As allowed by applicable law, you can also object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes and unsubscribe from our marketing mailing lists. To exercise these options, follow the “Unsubscribe” link in our emails, send STOP to the provided short code number, or contact us as specified in the How to Contact Us section below. Please note that essential operational emails related to transactions and account-specific matters will still be sent even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails.

 

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights, including: (1) accessing the personal information we hold about you; (2) updating, correcting, amending, or erasing your information; or (3) requesting restrictions on the use of your personal information. To exercise these rights or file a complaint, please contact us as specified in the How to Contact Us section below.

 

California residents can refer to our “California Privacy Statement” for more information about privacy rights specific to them.

 

Other Online Services and Third-Party Features

Our Services may include links to other online services and websites for your convenience and information, as well as third-party features like apps, tools, widgets, and plug-ins. These services, websites, and third-party features operate independently from us. The privacy practices of these third parties, including their information collection, are governed by their respective privacy statements. We are not responsible for the information practices of these third parties, except for our own affiliated entities.

 

Retention of Personal Information

We retain the personal information you provide for the duration of our relationship and a reasonable period required to comply with applicable statutes of limitations or legal obligations.

 

How We Protect Personal Information

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect through the Services against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.

 

Children’s Personal Information

Our websites primarily serve business-to-business purposes and transactions. We do not intend to collect

 or target services or websites to children under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will promptly delete it from our records. If you believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as specified in the How to Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.
