C. Information we obtain by automated means

The information we collect in this manner includes your IP address, network location, browser characteristics, browser language, device characteristics, operating system, referring URLs, information on actions taken on the Link Website, and dates and times of website visits. We may use cookies and similar technology on the Link Website and in emails we send you to collect certain information, such as whether you opened or clicked on links in our emails.
Cookies. Cookies are files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. The Link Website may use cookies (such as HTTP, HTML5 and Flash cookies) as well as other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage).
We use different types of first and third-party cookies on the Link Website for several reasons. First-party cookies are those that we place on your device through the Link Website; third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through the Link Website.
We use third-party web analytics services on the Link Website such as Google
Analytics. These service providers help us analyze how visitors use the Link Website.
The information obtained for this purpose (including your IP address and other
information collected by automated means) may be disclosed to or collected directly by
these service providers. To provide this service, Google Analytics may collect certain
information about you from your computer, including through the use of cookies. Such
information may include information regarding your visit (such as the pages you visit
and the length of your visit), information about your device (such as your IP address),
how you got to the Website, and other information about you. You can learn more about
Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data (including how to control the
information sent to Google) by visiting: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ You can opt-out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available here.

Other tracking devices
In conjunction with gathering information through cookies, our web servers may log
information such as your device type, operating system type, browser type, domain, and
other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and
time zone in which your device is located. We also may record information such as the
address of the web page that referred you to the Link Website and the IP address of the
device you used to connect to the Link Website. We may log information about your
interaction with the Link Website, such as which pages you visit. To control which web
servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our web pages
called “web beacons”, which are small files that link web pages to particular web servers
and their cookies. We also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or
other computer languages to gather the sorts of information described above and other
details about your interactions with the Link Website.
Cross-device tracking
Link uses data analytics companies, advertising networks, or social media companies,
and the features they offer, to engage in “cross-device tracking,” which occurs when
platforms, publishers, and advertising technology companies try to connect a
consumer’s activity across smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and other
connected devices. The goal of cross-device tracking is to enable companies to link a
consumer’s behavior across devices.

IV. How we protect Personal Information
Link maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect
Personal Information we obtain through the Link Website against accidental, unlawful,
or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. However,
neither individuals nor security systems are foolproof, and the transmission of

reasonable security measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security. Please contact privacy@linklogistics.com if you become
aware of any unauthorized access to or use of the Link Website or Link Services, or the
information collected and maintained in relation to them.

access certain parts of the Link Website or Link Services, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential and for complying with any other security procedures
of which we notify you or which you believe are reasonable. We ask you not to share
your password with anyone.

Information that you submit on the Link Website to Link’s offices or third-party service
providers around the world, including the United States, Canada and jurisdictions that
may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home
jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Information receives an
adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.
This Privacy Policy shall apply even if Link transfers such information to other countries.

consent to the transfer of your information and Personal Information among the facilities
