• Respond to your inquiries and support requests

4. Data Isolation and Multi-Tenancy

LiveCourier uses schema-level database isolation for multi-tenancy. Each customer account operates in its own isolated database schema. Your business data is never shared with or accessible to other customers.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• PayPal - for subscription payment processing. PayPal's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment information. We do not store your credit card or PayPal credentials.
• OSRM (self-hosted) - for route distance calculations. This runs on our own infrastructure; no location data is sent to external mapping services.
• Carrier APIs (FedEx, UPS) - if you enable a carrier integration, shipment data is shared with the relevant carrier to process shipments. Each carrier's privacy policy applies to their use of this data.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and business data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we retain your data for 30 days to allow for reactivation, after which it is permanently deleted from our servers. Audit logs and billing records may be retained longer as required by law.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

• All data transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Passwords stored using bcrypt hashing
• Database-level tenant isolation
• Rate limiting and brute-force protection on all authentication endpoints
• CSRF protection on all form submissions
• Role-based access control with granular permissions

8. Dedicated Server Option

Enterprise customers who choose our dedicated server option run on isolated infrastructure. Your data is completely separate from other customers. We offer dedicated server hosting as an add-on for customers who require enhanced data isolation.

9. Cookies

The LiveCourier platform uses session cookies to maintain your login state. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics services on the platform. The marketing website (livecourier.com) does not use cookies.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data stored in our systems
• Correct inaccurate information in your account
• Export your business data using our CSV export features
• Delete your account and all associated data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

11. Children's Privacy

LiveCourier is a business-to-business service and is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
