YOU AGREE NOT TO USE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE OR ANY OTHER SERVICES TO COLLECT, MANAGE OR PROCESS SENSITIVE INFORMATION. WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE TO COLLECT OR MANAGE SENSITIVE INFORMATION.
(f) Personal Data Regulations
The Services that the Customer has requested include a platform for automating shipping processes for the customer and as a natural part of this, ShipHero processes various personal data on the customer’s behalf. The relationship between the Customer as the “Data Controller” and ShipHero as the “Data Processor” is governed by the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
(g) Processed Personal Data
The Data Processor, as part of the Services, has access, on behalf of the Data Controller, to process:
– Name and address of the persons receiving the consignments.
– Information about the individual type of item sent and the value/price of the item.
– The purpose and scope of the personal data processing.
As a natural part of the Data Processor’s status as the provider of subscription-based solutions for handling the Data Controller’s freight processes, the Data Processor stores the information, and similarly the Data Controller exchanges information with relevant third parties in the form of freight companies that the Data Controller uses, and possibly customs authorities (if the consignments are cross-border). The purpose of the personal data processing is to manage the Data Controller’s freight processes. It is emphasized that the Data Processor may only process personal data to the extent necessary for the operation of the Data Controller’s subscription for Services with the Data Processor, and/or if the Data Processor is required by law to process the data otherwise. It is emphasized that the freight companies to which personal data is disclosed as part of the Agreement are the Data Controller’s (the Customers) Data Processors, not ShipHero’s Data Processors.
(h) The Data Processor’s Obligations
The Data Processor may only process the personal data in question in accordance with the instructions of the Data Controller, i.e. the instructions under which the Data Processor shall manage freight processes for the Data Controller (“ShipHero Solution”).
The Data Processor is required to comply with the currently applicable personal data legislation and shall notify the Data Controller immediately if an instruction from the Data Controller is, in the Data Processor’s opinion, contrary to the General Data Protection Regulation.
The Data Processor shall use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that personal data is not destroyed, lost, degraded or disclosed to unauthorized bodies, misused or otherwise processed in breach of personal data legislation, whereby the Data Processor shall implement the measures necessary pursuant to Article 32 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
The Data Processor is obliged to inform the Data Controller without undue delay of any data breach. In this regard, the Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller of:
– The nature of the data breach.
– If possible, the type and number of affected data subjects, as well as the type of personal data concerned and the number of records of personal data concerned.
– The measures that the Data Processor has taken or proposes should be taken to deal with the data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to limit its potential adverse effects.
– The probable consequences of the data breach.
– The Data Processor shall, at the Data Controller’s request, provide the Data Controller with sufficient information to ensure that the Data Processor has taken the necessary technical and organizational security measures.
The Data Processor shall provide all the information necessary to demonstrate that the Data Processor complies with the General Data Protection Regulation’s Article 28, whereby the Data Processor shall allow and contribute to audits, including inspections carried out by the Data Controller or another auditor authorized by the Data Controller. It is emphasized that inspections/audits in every respect take place at the Data Controller’s expense.
The Data Processor shall secure/ensure that the persons who are authorized by the Data Processor to process personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are bound by an appropriate statutory professional secrecy obligation.
If a data subject asks the Data Processor (usually such requests will be made to the Data Controller) for access to and insight into that person’s personal data, the Data Processor shall immediately forward the request to the Data Controller.
The Data Processor shall assist the Data Controller with appropriate technical tools to enable the Data Controller to fulfill the Data Controller’s obligations to respond to requests for the exercise of the rights of the data subjects as specified in chapter III of the General Data Protection Regulation.
As a natural part of ShipHero Solution, the Data Processor is entitled to disclose personal data to the Data Controller’s other data processors (freight companies), and the Data Processor is also entitled to exchange personal data with the customs authorities.
In all other cases the Data Processor may only disclose or transfer personal data to third parties or sub-processors with the prior agreement with the Data Controller. However, the Data Processor may disclose or transfer personal data without the Data Controller’s instructions, if permitted by law.
If the Data Processor hands over personal data to another data processor (sub-processor), the Data Processor is obliged to conclude a sub-processor agreement with the sub-processor, whereby the Data Processor’s sub-processor is subject to at least the same conditions as stated in this section.
The Data Processor shall notify the Data Controller if the Data Processor has plans to extend the circle of sub-processors and/or to replace existing sub-processors with others.
The Data Processor must not transfer personal data to third countries that the European Union Commission has not assessed as safe third countries.
If the data or information is transferred to foreign sub-processors, it must be stated in the data processing agreement, that sub-processors shall comply with the applicable provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and any other current personal data law in effect. Sub-processors in European countries with specific regulatory requirements regarding data processing must also comply with these requirements.
(i) Duration of Data Processing
The processing of Customer Data and personal data pursuant to the Agreement shall continue until such time as the Services are concluded between the parties or otherwise terminated. However, in the event of the termination of the Services, the Data Processor is bound by the Agreement for as long as the Data Processor has access to Customer Data and personal data originating from the Data Controller. In the event of termination of the Customer’s Services, the Data Processor is required to delete any backups and other copies of the personal data.
- THIRD PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS
In addition to these Terms of Service, You also agree to be bound by the additional service-specific terms applicable to services You purchase from, or that are provided by, ShipHero’s partners or other third parties.
ShipHero may from time to time recommend, provide You with access to, or enable third party software, applications, products, services or website links (collectively, “Third Party Services”) for Your consideration or use. Such Third Party Services are made available only as a convenience, and Your purchase, access or use of any such Third Party Services is solely between You and the applicable third party services provider, which includes but is not limited to certain approved carriers (e.g. shipping companies), integrators (e.g. “Shippo” and “Make.com”), e-commerce platforms (e.g. “Shopify”), payment processors (e.g. “Stripe”) and other carriers, integrators, e-commerce platforms and payment processors approved by ShipHero (“Third Party Provider”). Any use by You of Third Party Services offered through the Services is entirely at Your own risk and discretion, and it is Your responsibility to read the terms and conditions and/or privacy policies applicable to such Third Party Services before using them. In some instances, ShipHero may receive a revenue share from the applicable Third Party Provider.
We do not provide any warranties with respect to Third Party Services. You acknowledge that ShipHero has no control over Third Party Services and is not responsible or liable to anyone for such Third Party Services.

ShipHero does not guarantee the availability of Third Party Services, and You acknowledge that ShipHero may disable access to any Third Party Services at any time in its sole discretion and without notice to You. ShipHero is not responsible or liable to anyone for discontinuation or suspension of access to, or disablement of, any Third Party Service. ShipHero strongly recommends that You seek specialist advice before using or relying on Third Party Services, to ensure they will meet Your needs. In particular, tax calculators should be used for reference only and not as a substitute for independent tax advice when assessing the correct tax rates You should charge to Your customers.
If You install or enable any Third Party Services for use with the Services, You grant us permission to allow the applicable Third Party Provider to access Your Customer Data and to take any other actions as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Services with the Services, and any exchange of Customer Data or other interaction between You and the Third Party Provider is solely between You and such Third Party Provider. ShipHero is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Your Customer Data or other Materials, or for any corresponding losses or damages You may suffer, as a result of access by Third Party Services or a Third Party Provider to Your Customer Data or other Materials.
(For example, if Google Maps provided Third Party Services that were used within the Services, then Your use of such Third Party Services would be subject to Your acceptance of the Google Maps and Earth Enterprise Universal Acceptable Use Policy, as it may be amended by Google from time to time.)
Under no circumstances shall ShipHero be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, extraordinary, exemplary or other damages whatsoever, that result from any Third Party Services or Your contractual relationship with any Third Party Provider. These limitations shall apply even if ShipHero has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and (as applicable) our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, ShipHero partners, officers, directors, agents, employees, and suppliers harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Your use of Third Party Services or Your relationship with a Third Party Provider.

- END-USER AGREEMENT CONTROLS
As part of ShipHero’s commitment to security, privacy, and data protection, We have provided Complimentary User Entity Controls (“CUEC”) that are part of our security framework.
CUECs are the user entity controls that ShipHero provides for You to have in place with Your customers so that You and Your customers can adequately and securely use the Services.
As part of our CUEC security control, ShipHero enables multifactor authentication (“MFA”) by default on all Accounts and highly recommends mandatory MFA for all Users who access the Services including employees, contractors, vendors of Your customers.
Any failure to implement prescribed CUECs properly results in gaps that counteract ShipHero’s internal controls and may cause compliance nonconformities that increase cyber risk exposure to our systems.
Should a security incident or breach occur that We determine was caused by non-conformance with implementing any of the CUECs. ShipHero has the right to charge the Customer for engineering service fees to investigate and resolve the issue.
The CUEC’s subsequently presented should not be regarded as a comprehensive list of all controls that User entities should employ. User entities of ShipHero’s system should maintain controls for:
- Notifying ShipHero’s management immediately regarding any employee termination that would require a revocation of logical access to their Account.
- Designating individuals for authorizing access to the Account.
- Periodically reviewing their Customer access lists to the Account and informing ShipHero of any access change requests.
- Implementing systems to protect against security and availability threats from sources outside the boundaries of the system.
- Applying logical access security controls, data encryption controls, and related procedures to their network-connected equipment.
- Protecting their equipment against infection by computer viruses, malicious codes, and unauthorized software.
- Complying with their contractual obligations.
- Ensuring the supervision, management, and control of the use of Services by their personnel.
- Ensuring that procedures are in place for developing, maintaining, and testing their own business continuity plans.
- Utilizing encrypted email to send data to ShipHero via the User entity’s encrypted email system or within ShipHero’s encrypted email system.
- Ensuring appropriate encryption protocols protect data files transmitted to ShipHero.
- Notifying ShipHero to change passwords for its Accounts in the event the Accounts have been compromised.
- Changing passwords to its Accounts on a periodic basis.
- Implementing MFA on their User Accounts.
