com. The information collected is used to provide information about your company and about
specific transportation transactions to your vendors and suppliers, to improve the exworks.com web
site content, and to contact you with updates to the web site or for other marketing purposes.
Certain areas of our websites require registration or a password for access. Information obtained
from registered users of these areas may also be used for Ex Works’ marketing purposes, and
cookies may be used in those and other areas, as is described in this Policy. Log file data and other
information gathered from registered users of exworks.com are used to improve the exworks.com

Services. In the future, Ex Works may add other features to those accessed through logins and
passwords. (In such event, previously registered users will not be required to re-register.)

What information does Ex Works capture about visitors to its web site?
The Ex Works websites’ web servers use an extended log file format which captures: date and time
of visit, referring address (location from which a visitor comes to exworks.com), type of Internet
browser, and visitor's IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique
number, an IP address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a visitor's email
address
Does Ex Works ask for personal information?
Several areas of Ex Works websites ask for personal information, company information or
information about shipments. In these areas, your name, address, email address, billing
information, business profile, tariffs, delivery information and transaction invoice information are
requested. This information is collected to help us further develop our services, to provide you
access to valuable Ex Works Internet-based information and services, and to provide your vendors
or your suppliers with information that they have requested about your company, or information that
you wish to provide to potential vendors or suppliers to your company.
How does Ex Works use the information?
The information collected through this site helps us identify the type of web site content our
customers value most. We use this information to market and improve the web site and our
services. We also use this information to send you email notifications about updates to the web site,
and to contact you by other means for marketing and other purposes.
The purpose of Ex Works is to help make collaborative business within transportation easier for all
parties by efficiently distributing needed information provided by transportation entities to other
transportation entities. We deal with two types of information:
Shared information, meaning information which can and will be openly provided to any
interested users within the industry who are registered users of Ex Works. Shared
information typically includes, but is not limited to, general information about your company,
its managers, contact information, fleet information, information about insurance and other
certification, and other information that transportation entities might typically have a need to
collect and analyze about their vendors or suppliers. Your use of the Ex Works websites
constitutes your agreement that the shared information you provide can be made available to
other users of the site without restriction.
Private information, meaning information which is intended for the use of one or more
specific transportation entities within the industry who are registered users of Ex Works.
Private information typically includes any information about a specific transportation
transaction or shipment, private tariff information, certificates or documents specifically
naming two transportation entities and/or information or questions specifically identified on
the website as “confidential questions” for a particular transportation entity. Private
information can be accessed only by individuals using logins and passwords assigned by and
to the specific transportation entities who are party to the transaction or tariff, by Ex Works, its
employees and its technical staff and subcontractors. Your use of the Ex Works websites
constitutes your agreement that the private information you provide or access can be made
available to other users of the site as who have been assigned logins and passwords by the
specific transportation entities who are party to the private information.
Our policy is to not give, sell or otherwise distribute the information which can be identified in any
way with a particular company to third parties outside of Ex Works and its subsidiaries and
subcontractors (unless required by law); provided, however, in some cases we may use suppliers to
assist us in collecting, using or otherwise processing for our benefit the information obtained
through this site. Our practice is to require our suppliers to conduct such activities consistent with
this policy and our requirements. We maintain the right to use for whatever purpose aggregated
statistics that are based on the combined activity of multiple transportation entities and which cannot
in any way be identified with one particular entity.
What happens when I leave an Ex Works website to visit a linked web site?
When you leave an Ex Works website to visit another site through a link posted on our site, the only
information transferred to the third-party is the fact that you came from exworks.com (the referring
address). This practice allows the third-party to monitor its own web site traffic, but does not provide
them with any information about you. Ex Works is not responsible or liable for the independent
privacy policies of our third-party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to
determine how your information may be used.
What is a cookie?

Does Ex Works use cookies?
Cookies are used to achieve two goals. The first is to provide Ex Works with the capability to
personalize information for certain segments of its customer base. Secondly, in some instances,
cookies are used to allow Ex Works the opportunity to associate individual customers with their
information profiles. For example, through the use of cookies, our websites can "remember" your
user ID when you login on your computer.
Can cookies be removed from my hard drive?
Yes, cookies can be removed from your hard drive. Also, depending on what type of web browser
and what browser version you are using, you may be able to change the properties on your cookie
file so that cookies are not used or saved. Please check with your browser provider for more
information on removing cookies.
