4. SHIPPING & CUSTOMS INFORMATION

Freight forwarding necessarily involves the exchange of information between multiple parties.

When Intercross arranges a shipment, relevant information may need to be provided to parties such as:

5. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Intercross does not sell personal information as part of its ordinary business activities.

We may disclose personal information to third parties where reasonably necessary to provide our services, fulfil contractual obligations, protect legitimate interests or comply with the law.

Third parties may include our service providers, professional advisers, IT providers, accountants, auditors, legal advisers, financial institutions, carriers, agents and government authorities.

Where reasonably appropriate, Intercross will require service providers processing personal information on our behalf to handle such information securely and in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

6. INTERNATIONAL & CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

Intercross operates in the international freight and logistics industry.

Providing international freight forwarding services may therefore require personal information and shipment information to be transferred to or accessed by recipients outside South Africa.

These recipients may include overseas agents, shipping lines, airlines, terminals, carriers, customs authorities, warehouses and other logistics providers.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, Intercross will take reasonable steps required by applicable law to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards apply where required.

Customers acknowledge that international logistics services inherently require certain shipment and contact information to be communicated internationally.
