Keeping your information safe and secure
C4 Logistics is committed to keeping customers’ personal information secure to protect it from being inappropriately or accidentally accessed, used, shared or destroyed, and against it being lost. We have been certified to the UK Cyber Essentials scheme since 2016 and certified to the IASME Governance Scheme since 2018 which includes a framework for demonstrating compliance with the UK Data Protection and the General Data Protection Regulations. However, we understand that even the best laid plans can sometimes go wrong, and therefore we have developed a breach management process. In the unlikely event that we, or one of our partners or suppliers, accidently compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of your data, then we will endeavour to notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident. We will do this by informing you via the contact details that we have recorded on our CRM database. We may need to transfer personal information to third parties located outside the EU. If we do, we will ensure that information is protected to a level which meets the requirements of EU law.
