Information We Collect Automatically
When you use the Site, we collect certain internet or other electronic network activity information automatically as described in this section. As discussed further below, we may use a variety of technologies to assist in collecting this information.
Log Files. For all users of the Site, the Site’s web server uses an extended log file format which captures date and time of visit, referring address (location from which a visitor comes to the Site), type of Internet browser, and visitor’s IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number, an IP address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a user’s email address.
Cookies. A cookie is a series of data characters that, when programmed into a website, is placed by the web server into the browser’s application folder on your computer. Once placed onto your machine, the cookie will allow the website to “recall” you as a unique individual or business. The Site uses cookies to personalize information for certain segments of its customer base. In some instances, cookies are also used to associate individual and business customers with their information profiles where users have elected to create such a profile. For example, through the use of cookies, the Site can “recall” your user ID when you login to the Site on your computer. Should you choose to do so, cookies can be removed from your hard drive and certain web browsers can be set so that cookies are not used or saved. Please check with your browser provider for more information on removing cookies.
Cookie information may allow us to determine things like the URL of the website you visited before coming to this website, the type of browser or mobile device you are using to access the Site, your IP address, language, approximate geographic location, and time zone. We, and/or our authorized third-party service providers may automatically collect this information when you access and use the Site through the use of electronic tools like log files and cookies. We use this information to troubleshoot, administer the Site and its services, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorized third-party service providers to measure the overall effectiveness of our online tools, content, and programming.

- To provide services offered through the Site
From time to time, we will disclose your information (on a confidential basis) to agents and others that we use in the ordinary operation of the Site, such as account and billing, marketing and promotion, user experience research and surveys, website hosting and support and maintenance.

b. protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.
- Business Transfer
We may share your information in a business transfer. As with any other business, we could merge with, or be acquired by, another company, or we may file for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws in the future. In such event, user information obtained and maintained by us, including personal information, will transfer to a successor entity in connection with the corporate merger, consolidation, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or other corporate change.

However, user information submitted after a transfer to a successor entity may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions about the management or use of user information. Consistent with this policy, we do not sell personal information and have not done so in the prior 12 months.
Links
The Site may contain links to third party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third-party sites. We do not exercise control over third party websites displayed as search results or links from within the Site and these third-party websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. As such, we encourage our users to be aware of this fact when they leave our website and to read the privacy policies or statements of each and every website that they visit which collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected on the Site.
Security
Gorilla Shipper has security measures in place to protect customer information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ security measures to protect data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to the Site and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.
Password-protected areas of the Site can be accessed only with a valid password. Each password owner is responsible for keeping the password confidential and safe.
For Users Outside of the United States Only
The Site is hosted on servers located in the United States. If you are a user accessing our websites from the European Union, Australia, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, you are transferring your personal data to the United States which may not have the same data protection laws as such other regions. By providing user information through the Service, you are consenting to the transfer of your information to the United States for processing and maintenance in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Site and any services offered or provided therefrom.
Data Subject Rights
Depending on your residency, you may have certain data subject rights. These rights vary by state and country, but they may include the right to: (i) request additional disclosures about the Personal Information we collect, use, and disclose, i.e., a “Request to Know (Categories of Information)”; (ii) obtain a copy of Personal Information, i.e., a “Request to Know (Specific Pieces of Information),” sometimes called the Right to Access; (iii) request deletion of Personal Information, i.e., a “Request to Delete Information,” sometimes called the Right to Be Forgotten; (iii) opt out of the sale of Personal Information if we were to sell Personal Information, i.e., a “Request to Opt Out.” We do not sell your information, so you are already opted-out of such sales. California law prohibits discrimination against you for exercising any of these rights, for example by charging a different price or denying goods or services, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate or provide a different level or quality of goods or services when that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by the data. Additionally, in some circumstances, such as if you request that we delete your data, we may not be able to complete a request for a good or service because we will not have the required information to deliver it.
How to Exercise Data Subject Rights
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us at: info@gorillashipper.com with the phrase “Data Subject Rights” in the subject line. You may also call us toll-free at: 866 447-4737. We will review your requests and respond accordingly. The rights described herein are not absolute and we reserve all of our rights available to us at law in this regard. Additionally, if we retain your Personal Information only in de-identified form, we will not attempt to re-identify your data in response to a Data Subject Rights request.
If you make a request related to Personal Information about you, we will need to verify your identity. To do so, we will request that you match specific pieces of information you have provided us previously, as well as, in some instances, depending on the sensitivity of the data, provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. If it is necessary to collect additional information from you, we will use the information only for verification purposes and will delete it as soon as practicable after complying the request. For requests related to particularly sensitive information, we may require additional proof of identification.
If you make a Data Subject Rights request through an authorized agent, we will require written proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf.
We will process your request within the time provided by applicable law.
Additional Privacy Rights in California
