Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

GWT Hauling LLC is a motor carrier of general freight operating local trucking, long-distance truckload (TL), long-distance less-than-truckload (LTL), container trucking, and contract bulk mail transportation. This website is informational and is operated from our terminal at 15877 County Road O, Pioneer, Ohio 43554.

2. Information We Collect

• Contact details — name, company, email address, and telephone number submitted through the rate-request form or sent by email.
• Shipment details — origins, destinations, commodity descriptions, pallet counts, weights, appointment requirements, and accessorial needs you provide for quoting and hauling.
• Shipping documents — bills of lading, proofs of delivery, rate confirmations, and related records produced in performing carriage.
• Technical data — standard hosting logs: IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps. We do not run advertising trackers on this site.

3. How We Use Information

• To quote rates, book loads, and schedule pickups and deliveries.
• To perform carriage — dispatching, routing, and delivering freight.
• To produce and retain shipping documents (bills of lading, proofs of delivery, invoices).
• To administer contracts, including bulk mail transportation agreements.
• To satisfy legal, regulatory, insurance, and safety obligations applicable to motor carriers.
• To prevent fraud, protect cargo claims processes, and secure our systems.

We do not use personal information to make automated decisions with legal effect, and we do not build advertising profiles.

4. Legal Bases

Where required, we process data: (a) with your consent, for inquiries you initiate; (b) to perform a contract of carriage or take steps at your request before contracting; (c) to comply with legal obligations, including transportation, safety, tax, and recordkeeping rules; and (d) for legitimate interests such as site security and operations, balanced against your rights.

5. Shipment and Business Records

Bills of lading, delivery receipts, rate confirmations, and claims files are business records we maintain for operational, insurance, and regulatory purposes. Information about consignees and receivers provided to us is used solely to perform the shipment.

6. How We Share Information

• Service providers — hosting, email, and IT vendors under contractual confidentiality.
• Operational parties — consignees, docks, and interchange partners only as needed to complete the shipment.
• Insurers and adjusters — where needed to process cargo or liability claims.
• Regulators and law enforcement — where legally required, including safety and transportation authorities.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for third-party marketing.

7. Cookies and Analytics

This site does not set advertising cookies. Minimal technical storage may be used for site function. Standard server logs are retained for security diagnostics. If analytics are added in future, this policy will be updated.

8. Data Retention

Inquiry correspondence and shipping records are retained for the periods required by transportation recordkeeping rules, insurance requirements, and applicable statutes of limitation — commonly three to seven years after a load delivers or a matter closes. Records past their retention period are destroyed securely.

9. Data Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards: access controls, encryption in transit, and limited personnel access to shipping and customer records. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we will notify affected parties of breaches where required by law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; restrict or object to certain processing; or receive a portable copy. Rights may be limited where recordkeeping or claims obligations apply. Submit requests to m.almeida@gwthauli.shop.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are business-to-business and not directed to individuals under 18; we do not knowingly collect their data.
