Where is My Data Stored?
We (and many of our external third parties) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal information will involve a transfer of data outside of the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we ensure it is protected by making sure at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

  • by transferring your personal information to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission.
  • by using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give your personal information the same protection it has within the EEA; and
  • where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US as if it never left Europe.

To keep this privacy policy as short and easy to understand as possible, we have not set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us at dataprivacy@imperativelogistics.com for the details as to how we protect specific transfers of your data.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our third-party data storage providers. Notice for California Data Subjects This part of our Privacy Notice applies to consumers who reside in California.
