Quick Summary

Track4Trace is an educational logistics platform. We collect only the information necessary to operate our website, improve user experience, provide parcel-tracking related services, display advertising, and maintain the security of our platform. Whenever possible, our mobile applications process information locally on your device. We never sell your personal information.

Who We Are

Track4Trace is an independent online platform dedicated to logistics, parcel tracking, warehouse operations, supply chain technologies, transportation, and digital solutions for businesses and consumers.

Our website publishes educational articles, technical guides, industry news, and software tools designed to help users better understand modern logistics operations.

In addition to our website, we develop productivity applications under the Track4Trace ecosystem, including inventory management, barcode scanning, OCR-based tools, and other logistics-related utilities.

Our mission is to make logistics easier to understand through reliable, practical, and technology-focused content while respecting every visitor's privacy.

  • Send us an email
  • Report technical issues
  • Submit feedback
  • Request support

This information may include your name, email address, and the content of your message. We only use this information to respond to your request.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most modern websites, Track4Trace automatically receives certain technical information whenever you visit our pages.

  • Browser type
  • Operating system
  • Device type
  • Language settings
  • Approximate geographic region
  • Pages visited
  • Referring website

Website Information

Our website uses modern technologies to deliver content efficiently and securely. Certain information may be processed automatically in order to:

  • Display pages correctly
  • Protect against spam and abuse
  • Measure website performance
  • Understand visitor interests
  • Improve future content
  • Maintain website security
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through our website.

Mobile Applications

Track4Trace develops productivity applications designed primarily for logistics, inventory management, barcode scanning, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), warehouse operations, and business productivity.

Our applications are designed with an offline-first approach. Whenever technically possible, information is processed directly on your device rather than being transmitted to external servers.

Privacy by Design

We strive to minimize data collection and process information locally whenever practical. This approach reduces privacy risks and gives users greater control over their information.

Camera Permission

Some applications (such as StockCounter and future OCR-based tools) request access to your device's camera solely to enable features requested by the user.

Examples include:

  • Scanning barcodes
  • Reading QR codes
  • Capturing product labels
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • Inventory management

Images captured for OCR are processed locally whenever supported by the underlying technology. Track4Trace does not intentionally upload or permanently store captured images on its own servers.

Local Storage

Applications may create files directly on your device, including:

  • CSV exports
  • TXT exports
  • Inventory reports
  • Temporary cache files
  • Configuration files

These files remain under your control and can be deleted at any time using your device's file manager or by uninstalling the application.

Permissions

Depending on the application's functionality, permissions may include:

  • Camera
  • Storage access
  • Internet connection

Permissions are requested only when necessary for core application functionality.
