01Who we are & scope
This Privacy Policy explains how SalesFactory OÜ - operator of the Jetsend service at jetsend.eu, the customer dashboard, and the Jetsend Returns Portal - collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data. We act as the data controller for the processing described below, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national data-protection law.
Who this policy covers
- Registered Jetsend customers (senders and recipients of parcels).
- Visitors to jetsend.eu and our locale subpaths.
- Business contacts (partners, journalists, job applicants).
A separate Cookie Policy covers how we use cookies and similar local-storage technologies - read both for the full picture.
02Data we collect
We process four broad categories of personal data. Most of it comes directly from you when you sign up, book a shipment or contact support. Some is generated automatically by your browser or by the carrier handling your parcel.
2.1. Account data
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Full name, business name, VAT/tax number where applicable. | You, at sign-up |
| Contact | Email address, phone number, postal address. | You |
| Credentials | Password hash, OAuth tokens (Google, Apple), one-time codes. | You / identity provider |
| Account profile | Preferred language, currency, time zone, dashboard preferences. | You |
2.2. Shipment data

|---|---|---|
| Sender data | Name, address, phone of the parcel sender. | You |
| Recipient data | Name, address, phone of the parcel recipient. | You |
| Parcel data | Weight, dimensions, declared content, declared value, customs codes. | You |

4.1. Public authorities
We disclose personal data to tax authorities, customs offices, courts or law-enforcement bodies only when compelled by a valid legal instrument (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR) and only the minimum data necessary.
4.2. Business transfers
If Jetsend is acquired or merges with another company, your data may transfer to the acquirer under the same protections. We will notify you in advance via the dashboard and by email.
05International transfers
Your data is stored in the European Union by default - primarily in Frankfurt (Neon, PostHog) and on Cloudflare's EU edge. Limited transfers outside the EEA happen only when a sub-processor's parent company is established abroad (e.g. Stripe US, Resend US).
In every such case the transfer is protected by one or more of the following safeguards:
- The European Commission's adequacy decisions for the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
- The EU Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914) plus supplementary technical measures.
- The EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified.
A copy of the SCCs and our Transfer Impact Assessment summary is available on request from dpo@jetsend.eu.
06How long we keep it
Retention is driven by legal duty (mainly tax and customs law) and by what is reasonably necessary to defend legal claims. Once the period below expires, data is irreversibly deleted or anonymised.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until you delete the account, then archived 90 days before erasure. |
| Shipment records | 5 years from dispatch - required for EU customs and tax law. |
| Invoices & VAT data | 7 years from end of fiscal year - Estonian Accounting Act. |
| Payment authorisation | Stripe stores card tokens; we store last-4 + status for 5 years. |
| Support tickets | 3 years from last reply. |
| Marketing consent | Until withdrawn, then 12 months as proof the unsubscribe was honoured. |
| Server logs | 30 days, then aggregated and anonymised. |
| Backups | Encrypted; rolling 35-day window. |
