Privacy Policy

Obsidrix Indyssey Cargo Solutions

Last Updated: November 11, 2025
Quick heads-up: We've written this in plain English because legal jargon's not our style. If you're shipping heavy equipment with us or just browsing around, here's how we handle your info.

Introduction

Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a snooze-fest. But when you're trusting us to haul million-dollar mining equipment across continents, you deserve to know exactly what we do with your information. We've been in the heavy cargo game long enough to understand that trust isn't just about getting your excavator from Point A to Point B without a scratch.

This policy covers everything we collect, why we need it, and what we do (and don't do) with it. We're based in Vancouver, Canada, so we follow Canadian privacy laws including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). If you're shipping from or to the EU, we've got GDPR covered too.

Information We Collect

When you reach out for a quote or book a shipment, we'll need some basics:

  • Your name and company details (we're B2B mostly, so yeah, company info matters)
  • Contact info - phone, email, physical address
  • Shipment details like what you're moving, where it's going, dimensions, weight
  • Payment and billing information
  • Any special requirements - like if that crusher needs climate control or extra rigging

We don't ask for stuff we don't need. If it's not relevant to getting your cargo where it needs to go, we won't bug you about it.

Like pretty much every website out there, we collect some technical data:

  • IP address and general location data
  • Browser type, device info, operating system
  • Pages you visit and how long you hang around
  • Where you came from (referral sources)
  • Tracking and shipment inquiry patterns

This helps us keep the site running smooth and figure out what's actually useful to folks versus what's just taking up space.

Sometimes we get information from:

  • Customs and border agencies (mandatory for cross-border stuff)
  • Partner carriers and freight forwarders
  • Public business registries
  • Credit reference agencies (for larger contracts)

How We Use Your Data

We're not in the business of selling your data or doing anything sketchy with it. Here's the straight scoop on what we actually do:

Service Delivery

Processing shipments, coordinating logistics, handling customs paperwork, and keeping you updated on where your stuff is.

Communication

Responding to your questions, sending quotes, shipping updates, and yeah, occasionally letting you know about services that might actually help you.

Billing & Admin

Processing payments, managing accounts, keeping records for tax purposes and audits.

Improvements

Analyzing how people use the site so we can make it better, fixing bugs, and optimizing our routes and services.

Legal Compliance

Meeting regulatory requirements, handling customs documentation, responding to legal requests when required.

Fraud Prevention

Protecting against fraudulent transactions and keeping both our operations and your shipments secure.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We don't sell your data. Period. But moving heavy equipment across borders involves working with partners. Here's who might see your information:

Service Partners

Carriers, customs brokers, warehouse operators, rigging specialists - basically the folks who help us get your cargo delivered. They only get what they need to do their part of the job.

Government Agencies

Customs, border services, transport regulators - they've got legal rights to certain shipment data. We share what's required, nothing more.

Tech Service Providers

Companies that host our website, provide analytics, help with customer communications. They're bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

If we're legally required to disclose information (court orders, legal proceedings, etc.), we will. But we'll push back on overly broad requests.

International Transfers

We're based in Canada, but we move cargo internationally. That means your data might cross borders too - especially if you're shipping overseas or working with partners in other countries.

When we transfer data internationally, we make sure it's protected according to Canadian standards. For EU clients, we've got Standard Contractual Clauses in place to meet GDPR requirements. Your data gets the same protection no matter where it ends up.

Note: Some countries have different privacy laws. We only work with partners who commit to maintaining adequate data protection standards.

Data Security

We take security seriously because we know you're trusting us with sensitive business information. Here's what we do to keep your data safe:

Encryption

SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, encrypted storage for sensitive info

Access Controls

Limited access based on job role, multi-factor authentication for staff

Regular Backups

Automated backups with secure off-site storage

That said, no system's 100% foolproof. If we ever experience a data breach that affects you, we'll let you know promptly and tell you what we're doing about it.

Your Rights

It's your data, so you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

Right What It Means
Access Ask us what data we have about you and get a copy
Correction Fix any information that's wrong or outdated
Deletion Request we delete your data (with some exceptions for legal requirements)
Portability Get your data in a format you can use elsewhere
Object Say no to certain types of processing, like marketing
Withdraw Consent Change your mind about things you previously agreed to

To exercise any of these rights, just reach out to us at logistics@obsidrixindyssey.info or call (604) 782-4950. We'll respond within 30 days.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Yeah, we use cookies - but not the chocolate chip kind. These are small files that help the website work better and let us understand how people use the site.

Types of Cookies We Use:

Essential Cookies - These keep the site working. You can't opt out of these because without 'em, stuff just breaks.
Analytics Cookies - Help us figure out what pages are useful and which ones nobody looks at. We use this to improve the site.
Functional Cookies - Remember your preferences so you don't have to set everything up each time you visit.
Marketing Cookies - Track whether you came from an ad so we know what's working. You can opt out of these.

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just know that blocking some cookies might make parts of the site not work properly.

Data Retention

We don't keep your data forever - just as long as we need it. Here's the general timeline:

  • Active shipment data: During transport plus 7 years (tax and legal requirements)
  • Quote requests: 2 years if you don't book, then deleted
  • Account
