What information does FedEx capture about visitors to Contracting.FedEx.com?
The web server uses an extended log file format which captures: date and time of visit, referring address (location from which a visitor comes to Contracting.FedEx.com), type of Internet browser, and visitor's IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number, an IP address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a visitor's email address, though, the Contracting.FedEx.com registration requires an email address for validation purposes.
Does FedEx ask for personal information?
The initial registration area of Contracting.FedEx.com asks for personal information. The information required to access the website is your name, business address, email address, and terminal profile are requested. This information is collected to help us further develop our services, to provide you with access to valuable Internet-based information and services.
How does FedEx use the information?
The information collected through this site helps us identify the type of website content our customers value most. We use this information to market and improve the website and our service. We also use this information to send you email notifications about updates to the website, and to contact you by other means for marketing and other purposes. Our policy is to not give, sell or otherwise distribute the information collected through this site to third parties outside of FedEx and its subsidiaries (unless required by law); provided, however, in some cases we may use suppliers to assist us in collecting, using or otherwise processing for our benefit the information obtained through this site. Our practice is to require our suppliers to conduct such activities consistent with this policy and our requirements.
What happens when I leave Contracting.FedEx.com to visit a third party linked website?
Parts of Contracting.FedEx.com consist of information, products and services which may be hosted by a third-party business. When you leave Contracting.FedEx.com to visit one of these sites, the only information transferred to the third-party is the fact that you came from Contracting.FedEx.com (the referring IP address). This practice allows the third party to monitor its own website traffic, but does not provide them with any information about you. FedEx is not responsible or liable for the independent privacy policies of our third-party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a series of data characters that, when programmed into a website, is placed by the web server into the browser's application folder on your computer. Once placed onto your machine, the cookie will allow the website to "recognize" you as a unique individual.
Does Contracting.FedEx.com use cookies?
Cookies are used to achieve two goals. The first is to provide FedEx with the capability to personalize information for certain segments of its user base. Secondly, in some instances, cookies are used to allow FedEx the opportunity to associate individual customers with their information profiles. For example, through the use of cookies, your Contracting.FedEx.com can "remember" your user ID and password, so when you visit the site again you will be able to access it without always having to enter that information at every visit. This is only available when you login to Contracting.FedEx.com on your computer. If you login from another computer or a computer that is not owned by you, it is recommended that you do not choose to have your login and password information “remembered” by that computer.
Can cookies be removed from my hard drive?
Yes, cookies can be removed from your hard drive. Also, depending on what type of web browser and what browser version you are using, you may be able to change the properties on your cookie file so that cookies are not used or saved. Please check with your browser provider for more information on removing cookies.
FedEx reserves the right to amend the Privacy Policy at any time with or without notice. Please check back frequently in the event of changes.
Your use of Contracting.FedEx.com constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy.
