1. Commitment to Privacy & Zero Data Monetization
At ShippingStatus Global Logistics Network, LLC, safeguarding recipient and consignee privacy is fundamental to our security architecture. We maintain a strict policy: we do not sell, rent, license, or monetize consumer delivery data, tracking queries, or recipient personal details to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing networks.
All information collected through our public tracking search portal and carrier APIs is utilized exclusively for transit monitoring, custodial verification, and certified delivery fulfillment.
2. Automated PII Address Redaction Architecture
To safeguard package recipients against porch reconnaissance, physical interception, and unauthorized location tracking, ShippingStatus employs automated client-side and API-level Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Redaction:
- Street Address Masking: The recipient's house number and specific street address are masked with cryptographic asterisks (e.g.,
*** Parcel Destination, Springfield, OR 97477, United States) on all public lookup views.
- City & Zip Retention: Only the destination municipality, state jurisdiction, and postal routing code are displayed to verify regional transit routing without exposing exact private domiciles.
- Physical Delivery Slips: Complete residential address coordinates are disclosed strictly to authorized couriers at the point of final-mile handheld dispatch scanning.
3. Data Elements Collected & Processed
When you interact with ShippingStatus.net, our systems process the following limited technical and logistical data:
- Tracking Identifiers: Standard carrier tracking numbers (e.g.,
1Z2YODCSFUFC) and associated shipping references entered into search interfaces.
- Transit Telemetry: Timestamped facility sortation scans, gateway arrival/departure events, optical scale weight/dimension recordings, and courier signature capture.
- Network Diagnostics: Client IP address, user-agent telemetry, and request timestamps gathered solely for rate limiting, DDoS defense, and fraud prevention.
4. Data Retention & Cryptographic Lifecycle
Logistics ledger records are maintained in active memory for ninety (90) days following successful final-mile delivery. Following this operational period, personal recipient telemetry is scrubbed and transitioned to anonymized historical archives in compliance with federal transportation recordkeeping guidelines.
5. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA / GDPR)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you possess statutory rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know what data is processed, request correction of inaccurate shipment details, and request deletion of eligible non-regulatory delivery records.
To exercise your privacy rights or contact our Data Protection Officer, please submit a written request to [email protected] or mail our corporate headquarters in Newark, New Jersey.
