OVERVIEW

We at United Parcel Service, Inc., along with our subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively, 'UPS'), respect your concerns about privacy.

This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect about
consumers, how we may use the information and with whom we may share it. The
notice also describes the measures we take to safeguard your personal
information. In addition, we tell you how you can ask us to (i) access or change
the personal information we maintain about you, (ii) withdraw consent you
previously provided to us, (iii) refrain from sending you certain
communications, and (iv) answer questions you may have about our privacy
practices. This notice does not apply to The UPS Store or any other retail
location. This Notice does not apply to any subsidiary or affiliate of United
Parcel Service, Inc. that maintains its own privacy notice, including The UPS
Store or any other retail location.

Our privacy practices may vary among the countries or territories in which we
operate to reflect local practices and legal requirements.


INFORMATION WE OBTAIN

We may obtain consumer personal information (such as name, contact details and
payment information) in connection with various activities, such as (i) use of
the UPS websites and applications, (ii) shipping activities, including delivery
and collection of shipments, (iii) requests to track shipments or answer
questions, (iv) events in which we participate, (v) promotions and other offers,
and (vi) calls placed or web-based chats with customer service and accounting
centres which may be recorded.

The types of personal information that we may obtain include:

 * Individual and business contact information (such as name, company name,
   physical address, email address, and telephone or fax number)
 * Shipping information, (such as (i) shipping-related contact details like the
   sender's and consignee's and/or neighbour's (for UPS My Choice's ‘leave with
   neighbour’ feature) name, physical address, email address and telephone
   number, (ii) signature for proof of delivery, (iii) UPS account number and
   (iv) information given to us that helps us access locations to which we
   provide service) and information provided to us regarding the content of
   certain shipments, but only to the extent an identifiable person can be
   linked to such content.
 * Information that enables us to verify an individual's identity
 * Names, email addresses and telephone numbers of others to whom we are asked
   to send information
 * Information provided in response to surveys
 * Username, password and other credentials used to access UPS products and
   services
 * Social media handles, content and other data posted on our official social
   media pages or elsewhere on the Internet (such as other public locations),
   and information (such as email address and other information that you allow
   to be shared) we obtain through UPS-related social media apps, tools, widgets
   and plug-ins (including third-party login services such as ‘Log in with
   Facebook’)
 * The geographical location of your mobile device if you use certain features
   of our apps
 * Payment information (including payment card details or online payment
   services number and invoicing address) and financial information (such as
   bank account numbers)
 * Tax identification number in circumstances in which you request products or
   services for which this information is required, or in connection with
   certain promotions or prize draws
 * Other personal information that may be provided to us to obtain a UPS product
   or service

We also receive consumer personal information from our customers in order to
perform services. We may receive personal information from third parties,
including public databases, social media platforms or third party partners such
as analytics or marketing providers.

When we pick up or deliver a shipment or provide other services, we may obtain
physical location data. This includes, for example, data identifying the actual
location of a physical address using information such as GPS data, geocodes,
latitude and longitude information, and images of the various locations.

In addition, when you visit our websites, use our chatbot, use our apps or
interact with UPS-related tools, widgets or plug-ins, we may collect certain
information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. The information
we collect in this manner includes IP address, unique device identifier, browser
characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences,
referring URLs, information on actions taken, and dates and times of activity. A
‘cookie’ is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other
Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store
information or settings in the browser. A ‘web beacon’ also known as an Internet
tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages or apps to web servers and may be
used to transmit information back to a web server. Through these automated
collection methods, we obtain and store ‘clickstream’ data to tell us usage
patterns. We may link certain data elements we have collected through automated
means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained
about you to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an email we sent
to you. We also use third-party analytics tools that collect information about
visitor traffic on our websites or apps. Your browser may tell you how to be
notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable
certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not
be able to use all the features of our websites or apps. Both we and others
(such as our advertising networks) may collect personal information about our
visitors’ online activities, over time and across third-party websites, when
using our websites and apps.

We collect session analytics information, including browsing behaviour, click
patterns, keystrokes and pages visited, when you visit our websites and
applications. We and our third-party service provider may also collect, record
and analyse interactions with the chat feature of our website and application.
This information helps us understand our customers’ online activities, determine
usage patterns, provide customer service and support, and improve and impair
website functionality. This information is also helpful to our experience teams
so they can design better experiences for you.

The providers of third-party apps, tools, widgets and plug-ins on our websites
and apps, such as the Facebook ‘Like’ button, also may use automated means to
collect information regarding your interactions with these features. This
information is subject to the privacy policies or notices of these providers.


HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN

We may use the information we obtain to:

 * Pick up, deliver and track shipments
 * Provide products and services you request (such as logistics, supply chain
   management, customs clearance and brokerage services, and financial services)
 * Process and collect payments
 * Provide customer support and respond to and communicate with you about your
   requests, questions and comments
 * Send you tracking updates (from UPS and/or our business partners) and help
   you select convenient delivery options
 * Establish and manage your UPS account (including your online account on
   UPS.com and its various features, such as the address book and the UPS
   Billing Centre)
 * Offer you products and services that we believe may interest you
 * Communicate about, and administer your participation in, special events,
   programmes, surveys, contests, prize draws and other offers or promotions
 * Enable you to post on our blogs and interact with UPS through social media
 * Send information to your contacts if you ask us to do so
 * Process claims we receive in connection with our services
 * Operate, evaluate and improve our business (including developing new products
   and services; managing our communications; determining the effectiveness of
   our sales, marketing and advertising; analysing and enhancing our products,
   services, websites and apps; ensuring the security of our networks and
   information systems; performing accounting, auditing, invoicing,
   reconciliation and collection activities; and improving and maintaining the
   quality of our customer services)
 * Perform data analyses (including market and consumer search and analytics,
   trend analysis and profiling, financial analysis and anonymisation of
   personal information)
 * Protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal
   activity, claims and other liabilities
 * Comply with applicable legal requirements and our policies
 * Establish, exercise and defend legal claims
 * Monitor and report compliance issues

In addition, we use information collected online through cookies, web beacons
and other automated means for purposes such as (i) customizing our users' visits
to our websites and apps, (ii) delivering content (including advertising)
tailored to our users' interests and the manner in which our users browse our
websites and apps, (iii) improving website functionality and user experience,
(iv) debugging, identifying, and repairing errors that impair the intended
functionality of our websites, (v) providing customer service and support, and
(vi) managing our business. We may supplement data we collect through automated
means with information about your location (such as your postcode) to provide
you with content that may be of interest to you. We also use this information to
help diagnose technical and service problems, administer our websites and apps,
identify users of our websites and apps, and gather demographic information
about our users. We use clickstream data to determine usage patterns and how we
may tailor our websites and apps to better meet the needs of our users. Our
websites and apps are not designed to respond to 'do not track' requests from
browsers.


INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

On our websites and apps, we may collect information about your online
activities for use in providing you with advertising about products and services
tailored to your individual interests. This section of our Privacy Notice
provides details and explains how to exercise your choices.

You may see certain ads on other websites because we participate in advertising
networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users through
demographic, interest-based and contextual means. These networks track your
online activities over time by collecting information through automated means,
including through the use of cookies, web server logs and web beacons. The
networks use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to
your individual interests. The information that our ad networks may collect
includes information about your visits to websites that participate in the
relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and
the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on
our websites and on third-party websites that participate in the ad networks.
This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. To
learn how to opt out of this ad network interest-based advertising, select here.


INFORMATION WE SHARE

We do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you, except as
described in this Privacy Notice. To perform our collection and delivery
services, we share shipping information with third parties such as shippers,
consignees, third-party payers and recipients. We also share personal
information with third parties who perform services on our behalf based on our
instructions, including third-party software providers that support our
web-based chats. These third parties are not authorized by us to use or disclose
the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply
with legal requirements.

We also may share the personal information we obtain with our affiliates,
franchisees, resellers and joint marketing partners. These entities, which
collectively are referred to here as the ‘UPS Business Partners’, may use the
information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We may share
physical location data with our UPS Business Partners and other third parties
to, for example, enhance location-based services and develop accurate and
up-to-date maps. In addition, except as described below, unless you object, we
may share other personal information with third parties who are not UPS Business
Partners for those parties' own purposes, such as to offer products or services
that may interest you.

Information collected through third-party apps, tools, widgets and plug-ins
(such as information obtained through third-party login services or relating to
your use of a Facebook ‘Like’ button) is collected directly by the providers of
these features. This information is subject to the privacy policies of the
providers of the features, and UPS is not responsible for those providers'
information practices.

Many of our customers outsource all or a part of their supply chains to us.
Through our forwarding and logistics business units, we manage these supply
chains, focusing on supply chain optimization, freight forwarding and
international trade and brokerage services for our customers worldwide
(including a broad range of transportation solutions such as air, ocean and
ground freight). We also provide information technology systems and distribution
facilities adapted to the unique supply chains of specific industries such as
healthcare, technology and consumer/retail businesses. In the course of
providing forwarding and logistics services, we may obtain, use and disclose
personal information about our customers' customers. In these circumstances, we
process the information based on the agreement with our customer.

We also may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by
law, regulation or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), (ii) in
response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement
authorities, or (iii) when we believe that disclosure is necessary or
appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an
investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. We reserve the right to
transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all
or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a
reorganisation, dissolution or liquidation).


ACCESS AND CORRECTION

Subject to applicable law, (i) you may obtain a copy of certain personal
information we maintain about you or update or correct inaccuracies in that
information through your account on UPS.com or (ii) you may have the right to
obtain access to personal information we maintain about you by contacting us as
indicated in the 'How to Contact Us' section of this Privacy Notice. To help
protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your
identity and/or may ask you to provide other details before granting you access
to the information. In addition, if you believe that personal information we
maintain about you is inaccurate, subject to applicable law, you may have the
right to request that we correct or amend the information by contacting us as
indicated below.


NON-UPS PLACES AND SERVICES

For your convenience and information our websites and apps may contain links to
non-UPS places that may be operated by companies not affiliated with UPS. These
companies may have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly
suggest you review. Our services also may be made available to you through
third-party platforms (such as providers of app stores) or through other
third-party channels. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any
non-UPS places or services.


DATA TRANSFERS

We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to countries other
than the country in which the information originally was collected. Those
countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you
initially provided the information.

When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect
that information as described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with
applicable law. We use contractual protections for the transfer of personal
information among various jurisdictions (including, for example, the European
Commission's standard contractual clauses).


HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to
protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or
unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. Although
we take steps to limit access to our facilities and vehicles to authorised
individuals, information that is located on the outside of a parcel or letter
may be visible to others.


HOW TO CONTACT US

If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Notice, or if you would
like us to update information we have about you or your preferences, please
