Who we are
This website is operated by Mercantile Agencies, a freight forwarding and commercial representation business based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If you have any question about how we handle your information, contact us using the details on our contact page.
What we collect
We collect only what you give us. When you submit a quote request or a contact form, we receive the details you enter: your name, company, email address, telephone number, and the shipment or enquiry information you provide. Our web server also records standard technical data such as the requested page, the time of the request and the browser used.
Why we use it
We use your details to answer your enquiry, prepare a quotation, and provide the services you ask for. Where we hold an ongoing commercial relationship with you, we may use your contact details to communicate about that relationship.
What we do not do
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. We do not add you to a mailing list because you asked for a quote.
Who we share it with
To move cargo, we necessarily pass shipment details to the parties who perform the work: carriers, airlines, shipping lines, customs authorities, agents and hauliers at origin and destination. We share only what those parties need to handle your shipment lawfully.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry records for as long as needed to answer the enquiry and, where a shipment results, for the period required by UAE commercial and customs record-keeping obligations.
Cookies
This website sets a single session cookie, used only to keep your form submission secure. If analytics are enabled in future, this policy will be updated before any analytics cookie is set.
Your choices
You may ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where we are not required to retain it. Write to us using the contact details on this site.
