Privacy policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026. This policy explains how Genius Afrika Logistics SAS handles personal data collected through www.genius-al.com. It is written to meet Senegal's Law No. 2008-12 of 25 January 2008 on the protection of personal data and, for visitors in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the GDPR and UK GDPR.
1. Data controller
Genius Afrika Logistics SAS, Est-Foire, Route de l'Aéroport, Dakar, Senegal · RCCM SN DKR 2018 B 21495 · NINEA 006959467. Contact for any data protection question: genius [at] genius-al.com.
2. What we collect
- Quote and contact forms: the details you enter, such as company, name, country, email, phone or WhatsApp number, shipment details (origin, destination, cargo, dimensions, weights, Incoterm, ready date, goods value) and your message.
- Technical data: your IP address and the date and time of the request, recorded with each form submission for security; standard server logs kept by our hosting provider.
We do not ask for sensitive data. Please do not include it in free-text fields.
3. Why we use it, and on what legal basis
- To answer your request and prepare a quote (steps taken at your request before a contract).
- To carry out your shipments if you become a client (performance of a contract).
- To keep invoices and customs records (legal obligations).
- To protect the site against spam and abuse (our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure).
We do not sell or rent your data, we do not use it for automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing emails without your consent.
4. Who receives it
Your data is seen only by our team and, when needed for your shipment, by the partners who carry it out (carriers, customs brokers, agents at origin or destination). Technical providers process it on our behalf: our website host PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com) and Google Workspace for email.
5. International transfers
Our host and email provider may store data outside Senegal and the European Union, including in the United States. These transfers rely on the safeguards offered in the providers' terms, such as standard contractual clauses where applicable. Shipment data is also shared with partners in the countries of origin and destination, as required to move your cargo.
6. How long we keep it
- Quote requests that do not lead to a shipment: 3 years after our last exchange, then deleted.
- Client files, invoices and customs documents: for the period required by accounting and customs law.
- Anti-spam records: a one-way coded version of your IP address, kept for one hour.
7. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, and receive it in a portable format. Write to genius [at] genius-al.com; we answer within one month. You may also lodge a complaint with the Commission de Protection des Données Personnelles (CDP) in Senegal or, if you live in the EU or the UK, with your local data protection authority.
8. Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. Forms are protected against automated abuse, access to requests is limited to our team, and our email accounts are protected by their provider's security controls.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site does not use advertising or audience-measurement cookies, and does not load third-party trackers or fonts. Our host may set a strictly necessary security cookie to filter automated traffic; it is exempt from consent. When you switch language, a preference cookie (gal_lang) remembers your choice for one year. If we add audience measurement in the future, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.
Content
Transit times, duty rates and calculator results on this site are indicative. They do not constitute a quote or a customs ruling. Only a written quote from Genius Afrika Logistics commits us.
