Data collection, processing purpose and legal basis

As part of a transport order that is based on the delivery of a package, we receive personal data from shipping companies on whose behalf we offer customs clearance services. This concerns, for example, first and last name, address, e-mail address, air waybill, air waybill number (HAWB) or telephone number.

The relevant shipping company is responsible under data protection law for passing on this data to us. If you have any questions, please contact the company carrying out the shipping or the seller of the goods shipped.

If you commission us to process the duty-unpaid goods, we will use the data received from the shipping company together with the information collected from you exclusively to fulfill our obligations to process shipments under import law and to comply with the subsequent legal retention periods.

For example, we use your address to be able to register the shipment with the customs authorities, your e-mail address and your telephone number to be able to contact you, your PIN to secure access to your data and your IP address and the time the order to be passed on to law enforcement authorities, if this data is required as part of an investigation.

Data transmission to processors

We use assistants for processing, especially in the IT area (interface to authorities and customs, logistics software).

Further data transfers

We transfer personal information to external agencies to meet our contractual or legal obligations.

When submitting to external entities in third countries, i.e. outside the EU or the EEA, we ensure that these bodies treat your personal data with the same care as within the EU or the EEA. We only transfer personal data to third countries where the EU Commission has affirmed an adequate level of protection or if we ensure the careful handling of the personal data by means of contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.

We only process and store your personal data for as long as this is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. After the termination of our contractual obligations your data will be blocked or deleted.

In order for us to be able to process your order in relation to the goods to be cleared under customs law, we need you to provide the data specified under "Data collection, processing purpose and legal basis". The need to provide the relevant data results from the import regulations.
