Linescape is a search engine that saves you time and money. We search the industry for the routes and schedules; you find what you.re looking for and then you go directly to a forwarder or carrier to make your booking. So, this means we do not take your credit card information and we do not take your money. Registration on Linescape is strictly voluntary, and this allows you to get more information and access to certain great features if you register.
Personal Information
Linescape collects personally identifiable information that you provide to us, including. (at your discretion) your name, an email address, and a password. Our software uses your information to personalize and manage the Linescape website for you. For example, our site stores your favorite schedules, carriers and forwarders. If you decide to give us this information, you are telling us that this information is both true and accurate. You are also are telling us that you have the authorization to provide us with that information.
Non-Personal Information
In order to make our site more efficient, we may also collect certain non-personal information (such as destination or site usage behavior) based on your use of Linescape. We may use this information to display advertising that may be relevant to your business and suppress advertising that may not interest you. For example, we might show you offers from your port of departure or destination, but not those from other ports.
Technical Information
To help us to refine occasionally our software, we may collect some technical information from your browser software (such as Firefox or Internet Explorer), screen resolution and the website that referred you to us.
Registration
When you choose to register with us, Linescape logs you in automatically using your email address. This makes it easier for you as you don’t have to create and remember a login identifier. The use of your email address for login also allows Linescape the chance to email you a new password in case you forget or lost your old one. This happens quite often, particularly to those who are incredibly busy. If you register with us, Linescape will save your information and recognise you regardless of from where you login. So if you are travelling or in another office and using another computer, we’ll know it’s you and display your searches and preferences when you login.
Linescape gives you the option of receiving emails from us. We think they are useful, but you may not and can opt out any time. Our emails are sent from a Linescape address and are sent to your real email address. Every email that we send has an opt-out URL, so you can be unsubscribed when you want. We dislike spam at Linescape and expect that you do too.
Who knows?
All of the information that you chose to share with us stays with us. We do not sell your information to anyone. The only exception might be if Linescape itself were to be sold. In such a case, the buyers would acquire your information so that they can continue to provide the same great Linescape service.
Linescape will occasionally share aggregated usage information with others. This type of information does not contain your identity or anything personally identifiable to you.
