Who We Are

Gulf Edge Connections LLC ("Gulf Edge Connections," "we," "us," or "our") is a licensed freight company that coordinates loads and shipments with brokers, carriers, and shippers. This policy applies to information we collect through our website, our communications with you, and our text-messaging (SMS) program.

We collect information you provide directly to us and information needed to carry out freight operations, including:

• Contact information — your name, business or company name, email address, mailing address, and phone or mobile number.
• Operational information — details related to loads, bookings, rate confirmations, pickups, deliveries, and shipment status.
• SMS program information — your mobile number and a record of the consent you provided to receive text messages, including the date consent was given.
• Website information — basic technical and usage data (such as IP address and browser type) that may be collected automatically when you visit our website.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Coordinate and carry out freight services, including load availability, booking and rate confirmations, and pickup, delivery, and shipment updates.
• Send operational text messages to partners who have opted in to our SMS program.
• Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our services.

SMS / Text Messaging

If you opt in to receive text messages from Gulf Edge Connections LLC, we use your mobile number only to send operational messages about load availability, booking, and shipment updates. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance. We maintain a record of your consent as described above.

How We Share Information

We share information only as needed to operate our business, for example with service providers who help us deliver our services (such as our text-messaging provider and website hosting provider), and when required to comply with the law, enforce our agreements, or protect our rights. We may also share information in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or sale.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain our business and compliance records (including SMS consent records), and meet our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You may opt out of our text-messaging program at any time by replying STOP. You may also contact us using the details below to ask about the information we hold about you or to request that we update or remove it, subject to our record-keeping and legal obligations.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of our services after any change indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
