How EarthShip collects, uses, and protects your information while we forward your US packages to the Middle East and 200+ countries worldwide.
Last updated: January 1, 2026
1. Introduction
EarthShip ("we", "us", "our") provides US package forwarding, buy‑for‑me purchasing, and warehouse consolidation services that connect our members to 200+ countries, including across the Middle East. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you create your free EarthShip US suite address, request shipments, or use our platform, and how we use, share, and protect that information.
2. Information We Collect
- Account details — name, email, phone number, shipping and billing addresses, and password.
- Shipment data — package contents, declared value, weight and dimensions, carrier tracking numbers, and photos taken at our warehouse.
- Payment information — processed via Zain Cash, Zelle, or card payment providers; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Buy‑for‑me requests — product links, retailer accounts, and order confirmations you share so we can purchase on your behalf.
- Usage data — device, browser, IP address, and pages visited, collected automatically via cookies (see our Cookie Policy).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information above to create and maintain your free US suite address, consolidate and repack packages (saving members up to 80% on international freight), calculate live carrier rates, process tax‑free US purchases, provide 45 days of free warehouse storage, fulfil buy‑for‑me orders, communicate shipment status, prevent fraud, and improve our services.
4. How We Share Information
We share the minimum information necessary with international carriers (for customs and delivery), payment processors (Zain Cash, Zelle, card networks), and retailers when fulfilling buy‑for‑me requests. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Data Retention
We retain shipment and account records for as long as your account is active and as required for tax, customs, and legal compliance. You may request deletion of your account by contacting Contact us.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your country of residence, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, reach out through our contact page.
7. Security
We use industry‑standard encryption, restricted warehouse access, and secure payment processing to protect the data of our 3,353+ customers and the 78,545+ parcels we've shipped to 200+ countries.
8. International Transfers
Because EarthShip forwards packages from the United States to members abroad, your shipment and address data is necessarily transferred internationally to complete customs clearance and delivery. See International shipping for details on how cross‑border shipments are handled.
9. Children's Privacy
EarthShip services are not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
