Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 7/23/2024

1. Introduction

   This Privacy Policy outlines the policies and procedures of Gori Company (“Gori”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information from business entities and wholesale customers on http://www.shipbae.com (the “Site”) and the services, features, content, or applications we offer (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). We receive information about you from various sources, including:

   1. When you register for the Services through your user account (your “Account”);
   2. Your general use of the Services;
   3. Third-party websites and services.

   By using the Services, you consent to the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction, and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Principles of the Gori Privacy Policy

   Gori does not rent or sell your Personal Identifiable Information (PII). We don’t share your PII with anyone except to comply with the law, to provide a service you have requested, to protect our rights, or as provided in this Privacy Policy. We don’t store PII on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our Services.

3. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

   This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of PII gathered when you are using or accessing the Services. It also covers our treatment of any PII that our business partners share with us or that we share with our business partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third-parties that we do not own or control, including any third-party websites, services, and applications (“Third-Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Services, or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third-Party Services you access.

4. What Information Do We Collect?

   While not all information that you provide or that we collect is personal information, this policy includes all information that we collect, that you provide, or that is provided to us by a third party, including PII. The information we collect enables us to personalize, improve and continue to operate the Services. In connection with certain aspects of the Services, we may request, collect and/or display some of your PII.

   We collect the following types of information from our users.

   1. Account and Payment Information

      Your name, address, phone number, email address, username and password for restricted access portions of the Services and those of our partners.

   2. User Content

      Some features of the Services allow you to provide content to the Services, such as written comments. All content submitted by you to the Services may be retained by us indefinitely, even after you deactivate your account, unless the content contains PII, in which case you can request that the content be provided to you and/or deleted. We may continue to disclose such content to third-parties in a manner that does not reveal PII, as described in this Privacy Policy.

      If you choose to engage in public activities on the Services, you should be aware that any information you share there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these areas. You should use caution in disclosing personal information while participating in these areas. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these public areas.

   3. IP Address Information and Other Information Collected Automatically

      Gori receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie, and the page you request to operate the Services. Gori may use analytic tools or services to view aggregate statistics about the usage of the Services. This statistical information is not PII and cannot be tied back to you.

   4. Cookies

      A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Gori uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including to access your information when you “sign in,” keep track of preferences while using the Services, estimate and report audience size and traffic, and conduct research to improve Gori’s content and services. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use parts of the Services that require you to “sign in,” and you may not be able to take full advantage of the Services.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

   When you access or use the Services, we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your PII as described in this Privacy Policy. Gori does not disclose PII to any Third-Party Services without your consent or as part of your normal operations in using the Services. If you access Third-Party Services, such as Google through the Services to login to the Services or to share information about your experience using the Services with others, these Third-Party Services may be able to collect information about you, including information about your activity using the Services, and they may notify your connections on the Third-Party Services about your use of the Services, in accordance with their own privacy policies. Outside of such mechanisms, the Services do not disclose PII to any Third-Party Services.

   We may disclose your PII when it is necessary:

   • For us to provide the Services to you.
   • To protect the vital interests of yourself or others.
   • For compliance with a legal obligation.
   • In the public interest.
   • For the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third-party.

   Some of your activity on and through the Services is public by default. This may include, but is not limited to, content you have posted publicly on the Site or otherwise through the Services. Such content becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Gori does not rent or sell your PII.

   We do not use your email address or other PII to send marketing messages unless you’ve opted in to receive such messages. We may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major changes in the Services or for customer service purposes). We use both your PII and certain non-PII to improve the quality and design of the Services and to create new features, functionality, and services.

   Gori will not share PII about you with other people or companies without your consent except to provide products or services you’ve requested and under the following circumstances: Gori may be required to disclose PII under special circumstances, such as to comply with legal processes or to establish or exercise our legal rights.

   Gori reserves the right to disclose PII and/or non-PII that Gori believes is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Services, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Gori, our users, or others.

   Gori may contract with various third-parties who help us provide and maintain the Services (our “Agents”). We may need to share PII with our Agents to provide products or services to you. Our Agents do not have any right to use PII beyond what is necessary to assist us.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

   Because we need your PII to provide you the Services, we generally keep your personal information, including sensitive PII, while you use the Services or until you tell us to delete your information. We may also keep PII to comply with legal obligations or protect our or other’s interests.

7. Data Security and Change of Control

   Your Account information is password-protected. Gori uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your PII. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Gori and you do so at your own risk. If Gori learns of a security system breach, we may notify you electronically so you can take appropriate protective steps. Gori may post a notice on the Site if a security breach occurs.

8. What Information of Mine Can I Access?

   If you are a registered user, you can access information associated with your Account by logging into the Site. Registered and unregistered users can access and delete cookies through their web browser settings. California Privacy Rights: Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of personal customer information which we share with our affiliates and/or third-parties for marketing purposes, and providing contact information for such affiliates and/or third-parties.

9. What Rights Do I Have Over My Information?

   You can always opt not to disclose certain information to us, even though it may be needed to take advantage of some of our features. You can deactivate your Account. Please note that we will need to verify that you have the authority to deactivate the Account, and activity generated prior to deactivation will remain stored by us and may be publicly accessible.

   You can ask us to confirm whether or not your PII is being processed and, if so, to provide you with access to the information and an explanation of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the categories of recipients of the data, and the period for which the data are stored. You can also withdraw your consent or object to the processing of your PII, request that we correct or erase your PII, or obtain a copy of your PII from us.

   Depending on where you live, how you use the Services, and subject to certain exceptions, you may have some or all of the following rights:

   • Right to Know: The right to request that we disclose to you the PII we collect, use, or disclose about you, and information about our data practices;
   • Right to Correct: The right to request that we correct inaccurate PII that we maintain about you;
   • Right to Delete: The right to request that we delete PII that we have collected about you;
   • Right to Opt-Out: The right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their PII; and
   • Right to Non-Discrimination: The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights.

   To exercise your rights, including the “right to know” and “right to delete,” please submit a request by emailing our Data Protection Officer at dsar@goricompany.com.

10. Changes and Updates to This Privacy Policy

    This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically with or without notice to you and this will be reflected by the “Effective Date” above. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes. In general, we only use your PII in the manner described in the Privacy Policy in effect when we received the PII you provided. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any future revisions. For revisions to this Privacy Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of the PII you have already provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing such revisions with respect to such information.

11. What If I Have Questions or Concerns?

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding privacy using the Services, please send us a detailed message to support@goricompany.com. We will make every effort to resolve your concerns.

    Gori’s Privacy Policy conforms to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“DPF Principles”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, declares Gori’s commitment to complying with the DPF Principles and is enforceable under U.S. law. Please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list to check the current status of Gori’s certification with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) that it participates in and complies with the DPF Principles.

    In compliance with the DPF Principles, this Privacy Policy sets out:

    • The types of PII we collect (“What Information Do We Collect”)
    • The purposes for which we collect and use PII (“What Information Do We Collect”)

    Gori is responsible for the processing of PII it receives under the DPF and subsequently transfers to a third-party acting as an agent on its behalf, if any. Gori complies with the DPF Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
