PERSONALISATION

We want to give you the best possible experience when you send with Ship4Less Ltd and when we communicate with you. To do this we want to understand our customers, what countries you send from and to and how you use our app or website. We use this information to offer you promotions that are most likely to interest you and to personalise our communications and content to make them relevant. We will never sell on or offer your data to a third party in mass,

HOW CAN I STOP MY PERSONAL DATA BEING USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING?

We will never sell your personal data to personalise marketing to you. If you choose not to receive personalised direct marketing, you will continue to receive marketing communications and notifications from us, however they will not be personalised to you. To stop all direct marketing (including both marketing communications/notifications and personalisation) you must opt out of both. Please note that our systems may take up to 72 hours to update after changing your preferences. However, the marketing we will be sending you will be relative to you and we would expect it to be beneficial to you to know what’s new in the logistics industry, such as Rail from Asia to UK and the possibility of Sea freight taking much longer due to Fuel emissions, restrictions and regulations.
