We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us.

REGISTRATION 

In order to use this website, a user must first provide your company information so that an account is created in our Base Logistics system. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as basic company information, contact name and email address, banking information, etc.). The contact information may be used to contact you about the products/services provide by GMC or its affiliated companies, CrossDock Supply, LLC and TLR – Total Logistics Resources, Inc. (“Affiliates”).

ORDERS and JOBS

We request information from you when a service is conducted. To process an order, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and any financial information (like credit card number or wire details). This information is stored in a secure database separate from our website and is only accessible by the GMC employee(s) or contractors assigned to your project. This information will only be used for billing purposes to fill your orders or to deliver any assets or personnel to the appropriate location. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you.

SHARING 

We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services and these companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

SECURITY 

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, email or in writing, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as banking information or credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

COOKIES 

We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored in a site visitor’s browser to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, we can eliminate your need to log in more than once, thereby saving you time while on our site. Your password, username, and any identifiable information is encrypted, masked, then stored in a cookie. We identify you through a tokenized string assigned to a cookie in your browser’s memory. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (e.g., advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

LINKS 

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

SURVEYS & CONTESTS 

From time-to-time our site requests information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

GMC will notify its clients and vendors via email whenever there is a material change made to this privacy notice.

OTHER PROVISIONS AS REQUIRED BY LAW

Numerous other provisions and/or practices may be required as a result of laws, international treaties, or industry practices. It is up to you to determine what additional practices must be followed and/or what additional disclosures are required. Please take special notice of the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), which is frequently amended and now includes a disclosure requirement for “Do Not Track” signals.
