The processing of data refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data. These operations are quite varied and may include the collection, storage, use, modification, and communication of data.

Google Analytics & Cookies
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are small information files stored on your computer or device by a website’s server via the browser, either temporarily or permanently. Cookies contain a unique code that allows your browser to be recognized during your visit to that website (a “session” cookie) or during future visits (a “permanent” cookie). Cookies help simplify, complete, and personalize the use of a website. For further information about the use of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Statement.
Personal Data of Children
Shiptec never knowingly requests or collects personal data from children under the age of 12. If Shiptec discovers that it has accidentally collected personal data from a child under 12, it will delete that data as soon as reasonably possible. Shiptec may, however, collect personal data from children under 12 directly through a parent or guardian with their explicit consent.
Data Retention
We process the data you voluntarily provide on our Website solely for internal use and the stated purposes (such as submitting your information through the contact form or when requesting a quote). The obtained personal data will not be shared with third parties unless you have given your specific consent. Shiptec will not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the stated purpose, taking into account our need to respond to inquiries, solve problems, improve services, offer new services, and comply with legal requirements. This means we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period following your last interaction with Shiptec. When the personal data we collect is no longer required, we will securely destroy or delete it.
