4. Identity Verification, Screening, and Fraud Prevention
To protect customers, transportation providers, and the Company, we operate identity verification, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and compliance review procedures.
We may rely on third-party verification providers and screening services to confirm your identity, validate documents, and perform sanctions, restricted-party, and fraud checks before or after account approval. These providers process your information on our behalf under their own security and confidentiality obligations.
5. How We Share Information
We share information only as needed to operate our services and meet our legal obligations, including with:
- Shipping Nibees LLC and Shipping Nibees Ltd — between our US and Ghana entities for operational, customer service, fraud prevention, compliance, transportation, customs, accounting, legal, and regulatory purposes.
- Service providers — verification, screening, hosting, communications, and analytics providers acting on our behalf.
- Carriers and authorities — airlines, shipping lines, trucking companies, delivery providers, and customs and regulatory authorities involved in transporting or clearing your shipments.
- Payment providers — payment processors, gateways, and financial institutions (such as Paystack and Mobile Money providers) to process transactions.
- Law enforcement and regulators — where required by law, requested by authorized authorities, or necessary to protect our legal interests, operations, customers, or regulatory obligations.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
6. International Data Transfers
Shipping Nibees operates in the United States and Ghana. Your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in either country and shared between Shipping Nibees LLC and Shipping Nibees Ltd as described in this Policy.
By using our services, you consent to these international transfers, which may involve countries whose data protection laws differ from those of your own jurisdiction.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide services, and thereafter as required to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, customs, accounting, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution obligations. Verification and compliance records may be retained for the periods required by applicable law.
8. Data Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encrypted sessions and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
