As of
January 1, 2006, WT Logistics, WT Cargo and Westham Trade Co. Ltd.
updated its Privacy Policy to include information on the privacy rights of the
citizens all over the world.
Introduction
We at Westham Trade Company and our affiliated companies worldwide
("Westham") are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your
need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable
information ("Personal Information") you share with us.
Westham has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can
understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an
individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or
other physical address and an email address or other contact information,
whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Westham 's Web pages
without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about
yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may
transfer that Information within Westham or to Westham 's
third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or
jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
Westham strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are
designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from
country to country, Westham intends to adhere to the principles set forth in
this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer
your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require
an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other
words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no
matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A
"cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect
information about Web site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may
serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most
browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them
and how to remove them.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may
choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose
to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID
and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.
Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host
names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system
types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our
use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web
site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not
contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:

Notice
Where Westham collects Personal Information on the web, we intend to post a
purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected and
whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of Westham or those
working on Westham's behalf. Westham does not intend to transfer Personal
Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on
Westham's behalf unless such transfer is legally required.
Back to top
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Westham. The
notice we intend to provide where Westham collects Personal Information on the
Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the
Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of Westham's Web
sites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services
that involve our interaction with you.
If you chose to have a relationship with Westham, such as a contractual or
other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to
contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be held within Westham or on its behalf,
we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal
Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Back to top
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, Westham wishes
to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal
Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting
Westham should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any
reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and
corrections about your Personal Information to
privacy@wtrade.com and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate
the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.

Third Party Services
Third parties provide certain services available on Westham's behalf. Westham
may provide information, including Personal Information, that Westham collects
on the Web to third-party service providers to help us deliver programs,
products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important
means by which Westham maintains its Web site and mailing lists. Westham will
take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are
obligated to protect Personal Information on Westham's behalf.
Westham does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent
to third parties who are not bound to act on Westham's behalf unless such
transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against Westham's policy to sell
Personal Information collected online without consent.

Children's Privacy
None of of WEB pages are structured to attract children. Accordingly, we do not
intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years
of age.

Commitment
We are committed to privacy and, through our membership in the Online Privacy
Alliance, are actively involved in and support current industry initiatives to
preserve individual privacy rights on the Internet. Protecting your privacy
online is an evolving area, and Westham's Web sites are constantly evolving to
meet these demands.
If you have any comments or questions regarding our Online Privacy Policy,
please contact us at privacy@wtrade.com.
While we cannot guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the
best of our abilities as soon as possible.

posting all changes prominently on our web site for a reasonable period of
time.
