Privacy Policy — United State Shipping Service

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information United State Shipping Service collects when you request a quote, book a shipment, track cargo, or use our website — and how that information is used, shared, and protected.

United State Shipping Service ("USSS," "we," "us," or "our") provides ocean, air, ground, and warehousing logistics services from the United States to destinations worldwide. We handle personal and business information as part of quoting, booking, moving, and tracking freight, and we take that responsibility seriously. This policy applies to our website, our tracking tools, and any other service that links to it.

01 Information we collect

We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with us:

  • Contact and account details — name, company name, email address, phone number, and billing or shipping address, provided when you request a quote, create an account, or contact our team.
  • Shipment and booking information — cargo descriptions, weights and dimensions, origin and destination details, customs and commercial documentation, and tracking or booking numbers.
  • Payment information — billing details processed through our payment providers. We do not store full card numbers on our own servers.
  • Website and technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Communications — records of calls, emails, and messages exchanged with our dispatch, sales, or support teams.

02 How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Prepare quotes, book shipments, and coordinate pickup, transit, and delivery.
  • Provide tracking updates and respond to customer service requests.
  • Prepare customs, carrier, and compliance documentation required for domestic and international freight.
  • Process payments and maintain billing records.
  • Improve our website, services, and internal operations.
  • Communicate service updates, and, where permitted, share relevant offers or news.
  • Meet legal, regulatory, and safety obligations that apply to licensed carriers and freight forwarders.

03 How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We do share information with parties involved in moving your freight or operating our business, including:

  • Carriers and partners — ocean lines, airlines, trucking partners, and warehouse operators who physically move or store your shipment.
  • Customs and government authorities — as required to clear cargo across borders or comply with applicable law.
  • Service providers — payment processors, IT and hosting providers, and analytics services that support our operations under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal and safety purposes — when required to comply with a legal process, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our people, cargo, or the public.
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

04 International data transfers

Because we coordinate shipments to and from destinations outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own — including the destination country of your shipment and the countries where our carriers and partners operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure that information transferred internationally receives an appropriate level of protection consistent with this policy.

05 Cookies & tracking technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how our site is used. This includes:

  • Essential cookies — required for core site functionality, such as submitting a quote request or tracking form.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand which pages are useful and where visitors run into friction.
  • Preference cookies — remember settings such as language or region.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may affect how parts of our site function, including tracking tools.

06 Data security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold, including encrypted transmission on our website, access controls on internal systems, and vetting of the third parties we work with. No system is completely secure, and we encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

07 Data retention

We keep information for as long as necessary to provide our services, meet legal, tax, customs, and regulatory recordkeeping requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the obligations that apply to it. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or de-identify it.

08 Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold about you. Where applicable law grants these rights, you can:

09 Children's privacy

Our services are intended for businesses and individuals entering into commercial shipping arrangements, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we ask that our services not be used by anyone who does not meet the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

11 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal requirements. The version posted on this page is always the current one, and continued use of our services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
