This notice covers the minimal ShippingRates website and its three historical tariff tools.
The tools use a saved snapshot as of 6 August 2026. They do not provide current shipping prices or live shipment coverage.
Signup uses your email address, password and an optional display name. Google Firebase Authentication manages the account ID, password credentials and hashes, email verification and password recovery.
Password entry is sent to Firebase Authentication. The ShippingRates app server receives a short-lived Firebase identity token to validate access, and reads the account ID, email address and display name for your session.
Firebase Authentication processes account data in the United States. It also processes IP addresses and browser information for authentication security and abuse prevention.
See Firebase’s privacy and security information for the provider’s data-processing practices.
Firebase uses essential browser authentication storage to restore your sign-in. The app uses a secure, host-limited session cookie to authorize the dashboard and tariff files. The cookie follows the current identity token’s expiry; authentication can renew while you use the app.
The app’s “Sign out” control clears its session cookie and Firebase browser sign-in. Blocking or clearing authentication storage may require you to sign in again.
Cloudflare hosts the website and app. Its standard hosting and security processing can include IP addresses, request and traffic-routing information, browser or system information, and operational service data.
During setup, Cloudflare was observed injecting its Web Analytics beacon on the authenticated dashboard. That beacon is designed to send page-view and browser performance information, including page and referring URLs and loading/timing metrics. The website and app now request no-transform in their response headers to prevent automatic beacon injection. See Cloudflare’s automatic-injection documentation.
Cloudflare states that its RUM beacon does not use browser storage such as cookies or localStorage, and that Web Analytics does not fingerprint individuals for analytics. This is separate from the essential sign-in storage described above. See Cloudflare’s RUM data and privacy documentation and Web Analytics privacy information.
See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its wider platform practices.
The three tools calculate or filter the saved tariffs in your browser. This showcase does not offer cloud saving for the dates, elapsed-day inputs or calculation results you enter.
The tariff snapshot contains selected carrier facts and source references. Customer account records and earlier saved work are not included in the website’s static assets or tariff snapshot.
The approved existing-account transfer uses only the account ID, email address, display name where present, password hash where present, and existing email-verification status for Firebase Authentication.
Earlier saved work remains private and is preserved for archival and recovery. It is not published in this website or imported into the three historical tools.
