GDPR & Data-Privacy Commitments: Freight Software GDPR Compliance Explained
At Linbis, we’ve taken clear, proactive steps to help you stay compliant, protect customer data, and build long-term trust. ✅
This article breaks down how our freight software GDPR practices work, our DPA policy, and where your data is hosted. Let’s dive in. 🚚🛡️
🇪🇺 What Is GDPR — and Why It Matters in Freight?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is Europe’s landmark privacy law. It governs how businesses collect, store, process, and transfer personal data of EU citizens.
In freight forwarding, this includes:
- 🧍♂️ Consignee and shipper names
- 📞 Contact numbers and emails
- 🧾 Commercial documents with identifying details
- 📦 Tracking updates linked to individuals
Failure to comply can lead to fines of €20 million or 4% of global revenue — whichever is higher. 😱
But beyond risk avoidance, GDPR is about respecting client privacy and building a reputation based on accountability.
📃 Our Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
Linbis provides a clear and easy-to-sign Data Processing Agreement (DPA) aligned with Article 28 of GDPR. The DPA:
- ✔️ Outlines your rights and obligations as a data controller
- 🧰 Details Linbis’ role as a data processor
- 🔐 Describes technical and organizational measures (TOMs) we implement
- 🔁 Enables lawful use of sub-processors and data exports
You can sign the DPA online in minutes — no printing, scanning, or delays.
💼 Whether you’re a freight forwarder in Madrid, an NVOCC in Rotterdam, or a customs broker in Berlin — we’ve got your compliance needs covered.
