Universal Shipping Pvt. Ltd
At Universal Shipping Co. Ltd, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. We are committed to protecting the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices in processing and safeguarding personal data in compliance with applicable laws. “Personal data” refers to any information relating to an identifiable individual.
Controller
Universal Shipping Co. Ltd processes personal data for various purposes, including employment, service provision, marketing, and visits to our website. We handle personal data responsibly, ensuring compliance with legal obligations and best practices.
- Customer and Supplier Data
Universal Shipping processes personal data of customers, suppliers, and relevant third parties to fulfill contractual obligations. This information may be shared across our legal entities but will not be disclosed to third parties unless outlined in service agreements. The personal data, primarily contact details, is stored in a secure database and deleted five years after the conclusion of the customer relationship.
Legal basis: The processing is necessary for contract performance or in our legitimate interest to enhance services and relationships, as long as this does not override your data protection rights.

We process contact information for potential customers for marketing purposes. This data is collected from publicly available sources or direct contact and stored in a separate database. The purpose is to promote our services and manage marketing efforts across our legal entities without sharing with external businesses.
Legal basis: We have a legitimate interest in promoting our services, which does not infringe on your rights, as we only process business-related contact details. Personal data for marketing purposes will be deleted within one year unless a customer relationship is established or you consent to further storage.
