Automatically Gathered Information
Our Services automatically capture specific data as you browse, utilize, or navigate through them. This automatically collected information might not directly disclose who you are (such as your name or contact details) but can include details about your device and usage patterns, for example, your IP address, the type of browser and device you’re using, your operating system, your language settings, the URLs you came from, the name of your device, your country and location, and how you use our Services, among other technical data. This information is crucial for the secure and efficient operation of our Services, as well as for our internal analytics and reporting.
We, like many companies, also gather data via cookies and similar tracking technologies.
Types of Information Collected Automatically:
Log and Usage Information: Our servers automatically document service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance data when you access or use our Services.

We might use GPS and other technologies to acquire geolocation data that pinpoints your current location (based on your IP address). You have the option to prevent us from collecting this information by denying access to the data or disabling your device’s Location setting. Opting out, however, may restrict your ability to use specific features of the Services.

4. Usage of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We employ cookies and similar technologies like web beacons and pixels for accessing or storing information. Details on the use of such technologies and how to opt out of certain cookies are provided in our Cookie Policy.
5. Retention Period for Your Information
Your personal information is retained only for the necessary duration to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention term is mandated or allowed by law (for instance, for tax, accounting, or other statutory requirements). None of the purposes mentioned herein will lead us to hold your personal information for more than one year.
Should there be no continuing legitimate business necessity to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not feasible (for example, if your personal information has been stored in backup systems), we will securely store your personal information and segregate it from any further processing until deletion can be achieved.
6. Measures to Safeguard Your Information
To protect the personal information we process, we have put in place suitable technical and organizational measures. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security against the possibility of hacking, cybercrime, or unauthorized access by third parties. We strive to protect your personal information, but sending personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk, and we recommend using a secure environment for accessing our Services.
7. Collection of Information from Minors
We do not intentionally collect data from or market to individuals under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you confirm that you are over 18 or that you are the parent or guardian consenting on behalf of a minor under 18. If we discover that we have collected personal information from users under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will deactivate the account and take steps to remove such information from our databases promptly. If you are aware of any information we might have collected from minors under 18, please contact us at recruiting@reefervannetwork.com.
8. Your Rights Regarding Privacy
If you have given consent for us to process your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time by reaching out to us using the contact information provided in this document. Withdrawing consent will not affect the legality of processing carried out before the withdrawal, nor will it affect processing based on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
For managing cookies and similar technologies, browsers typically accept cookies by default but allow you to reject or delete them. Choosing to disable cookies may impact certain features or services of our Services.
For inquiries or feedback concerning your privacy rights, you can email us at recruiting@reefervannetwork.com.
9. Not-Track Feature Settings
Many web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature that you can activate to indicate your preference not to have your online browsing activities monitored or collected. Currently, there is no consistent technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Consequently, we do not act on DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard is developed and adopted in the future, we will update you on our practices regarding that standard in a revised version of this privacy notice.
