This Privacy Policy explains how LoadBlok ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit loadblok.com, use our calculators, visual planning tools, or otherwise interact with the Service. We aim to describe our practices in a clear and practical way so users understand what information may be involved when using a logistics-oriented web platform such as LoadBlok.
LoadBlok provides shipping, loading, and planning tools that are based primarily on user-entered values and website interaction. In most cases, we do not need highly sensitive personal information to provide the Service. However, like most modern websites, we may process limited technical information, analytics signals, cookie-related data, and communications you choose to send to us. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the website and related pages, including legal pages, blog content, contact forms, and calculator interfaces.
This Privacy Policy applies to information processed in connection with your access to and use of LoadBlok. It covers information we collect directly from you, information collected automatically through the operation of the website, and information processed through third-party providers that support hosting, analytics, security, advertising, or communication functions.
This Privacy Policy does not automatically apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked from LoadBlok. If you leave our website or interact with an external service, that third party's own terms and privacy practices will apply.
Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect or receive the following categories of information:
We may use information we collect or receive for the following purposes:
We generally seek to limit processing to what is reasonably necessary for website operation, measurement, communication, monetization, and improvement. We do not describe the Service as a platform intended to collect large volumes of personally identifying information beyond what is needed for routine website administration and user communications.
LoadBlok includes interactive tools that rely on values entered by users, such as product dimensions, quantities, weight data, stacking assumptions, or shipment planning inputs. These values are used to perform calculations and generate outputs requested by the user. In many cases, such entries may not identify a person directly, but they may still relate to commercial activity, shipment planning, or internal operational workflows.
You are responsible for deciding what information you enter into the Service. We recommend that you do not submit confidential personal data, sensitive categories of personal information, or proprietary business information unless you are comfortable doing so and have a lawful basis to share it. Where possible, use generalized or non-sensitive values when testing or evaluating logistics scenarios.
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, remember basic settings, understand traffic, improve usability, maintain security, and support analytics or advertising where enabled. These technologies may be implemented directly by us or by selected third-party providers.
Analytics tools may help us understand which pages are visited, how users navigate the site, how quickly pages load, what devices or browsers are used, and which content areas or tools are most useful. We typically rely on aggregated or statistical reporting for these purposes. For more detail about cookie-related practices, please review our Cookie Policy.
LoadBlok may use advertising technologies, including services such as Google AdSense, to display ads and measure performance where monetization is enabled. Advertising providers and their partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to support ad delivery, frequency management, reporting, and, depending on implementation and applicable law, ad personalization.
The exact behavior of advertising-related technologies may depend on your location, browser settings, consent choices, and the configuration active on the website at the time of your visit. Where required by law, non-essential advertising technologies may be subject to prior consent.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we may rely on one or more of the following, depending on the context: your consent, the need to perform requested services, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service, security and fraud-prevention needs, and compliance with legal obligations.
Legitimate interests may include maintaining the website, understanding user behavior at a high level, improving performance, protecting against abuse, communicating with users who contact us, and sustaining the Service through lawful monetization. Where consent is required, you may be able to manage that choice through available consent tools or browser settings.
We do not describe LoadBlok as selling personal information in the ordinary sense of transferring user data for unrestricted commercial exploitation. However, we may share information with service providers and partners where reasonably necessary to operate the website and related functions. Depending on how the Service is configured, information may be shared with:
We may also disclose information in connection with a business transaction, restructuring, merger, acquisition, financing event, or asset transfer, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal requirements.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate the Service, maintain records, respond to communications, analyze performance, protect security, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose of processing, technical needs, and applicable legal requirements.
For example, analytics data may be retained according to provider settings and measurement needs, contact messages may be retained for follow-up or recordkeeping, and technical logs may be retained for security, troubleshooting, and abuse-prevention purposes. When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, aggregate, or anonymize it where appropriate.
Depending on the location of our providers or infrastructure, information may be processed in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you understand that website operations, analytics, hosting, communication systems, or advertising technologies may involve cross-border data processing.
Where required, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards, contractual measures, or lawful transfer mechanisms suitable for the relevant context. However, data protection laws may differ between jurisdictions, and the level of protection available may not always be identical to that of your home country.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, hosting safeguards, limited administrative access, provider-level protections, and general website security practices.
At the same time, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, we cannot promise absolute security, and users should exercise appropriate caution when submitting information over the internet.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to complain to a relevant supervisory authority.
If you wish to make a privacy-related request, you may contact us through the contact page. We may need to verify your request and may limit our response where permitted by law, including when we cannot verify identity, where an exemption applies, or where the information is not reasonably linked to an identifiable individual.
LoadBlok is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age threshold applicable under relevant law, such as 13 in certain jurisdictions. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Service, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, legal requirements, analytics practices, advertising implementation, operational needs, or risk management considerations. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this page.
Your continued use of the Service after a revised version becomes effective may be treated as acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law. We encourage users to review this page periodically for the latest version.
