Understand your data. Stay in control.

01. What this page covers

This page covers the Cargo Survey website and member workspace: registration, profiles, the directory, posts, missions, conversations and collaboration records. It describes the features currently available.

A personal workspace represents a person. An organization workspace represents a business or team, with access depending on each member’s role. Check the active workspace before posting, responding or sharing a file.

02. Information you provide

Fields marked with an asterisk are required for that step. Other information can be left blank. A draft application does not automatically become a published profile.

Only add information needed for your work to a CV, photo or document. Avoid identity documents, banking information or third-party personal data that are unnecessary for the mission.

03. Why this information is used

Relevance ordering helps you discover opportunities; it does not choose a collaboration for you. The mission poster chooses responses and introductions. Price does not affect response ranking.

• Manage your account, workspaces and team roles.
• Present profiles and services made visible in the network.
• Suggest relevant missions and profiles using specialties, skills, qualifications, dates and areas.
• Deliver responses and invitations, then enable chat after an introduction is accepted.
• Keep work updates, deliverables and their versions.
• Display published public reviews and deliver private feedback to its recipient.
• Manage notifications, platform access, reports and security events.

04. Who can see what?

Organization administrators manage their team’s access. Members with a suitable role can act for that workspace. Authorized Cargo Survey staff have access needed for their duties, such as reviewing supporting documents or reports.

05. Photos, attachments and history

Your profile photo or an organization’s logo accompanies its identity in the network. Post photos are intended for members who can see that post. Check their content and provide an image description when the interface asks for one.

Conversation attachments and deliverables remain linked to the collaboration. A deliverable can retain several versions and identify who shared each one and when. Replacing a file with a new version does not necessarily remove its history.

Sharing a document allows authorized recipients to view or download it. Send sensitive documents only in the correct conversation and check your permission to share them first.

06. Feed, follows and notifications

The profiles you follow, your specialties and your areas help determine content suggested in the feed. You can manage follows and preferences in the member workspace.

In-app notifications are separate from browser notifications. Browser notifications require permission from your browser and can be disabled in its settings. Declining that permission does not prevent you from using your account.

07. Cookies and storage on your device

The website remembers your chosen language in a cookie named “mfn_locale”. It contains the FR or EN preference. It is created without a persistent expiry date; its actual lifetime also depends on how your browser handles sessions.

The contact form keeps the confirmation number and a retry identifier with a message fingerprint in this tab’s session storage. The message text and contact details are not saved in that storage. These values prevent duplicate submissions and restore your confirmation after a refresh.

The member workspace uses sessions and browser storage for account access, preferences and some drafts. The application can also cache files needed for loading. Uploaded attachments are stored by the service and do not disappear when you clear your device’s cache.

• You can remove cookies and site data in your browser settings.
• This may sign you out, reset preferences or remove a draft stored only on that device.
• Sign out after using a shared device. Closing a tab does not necessarily end a remembered session.

08. Access, security and providers

Private features require authentication and the relevant account or workspace permissions. Passwords are stored as hashes, and public connections use HTTPS.

Technical operations, backups and maintenance support the service. Action logs help track security events and operations carried out by authorized staff.

The publisher still needs to confirm the named providers, hosting locations, any international data transfers and the legal basis for each processing activity. This version makes no exclusive-location guarantee.

09. Retention and deletion

Accounts, saved applications, missions and conversations are stored so that they can be used and followed up. Deleting a post, removing a saved item and requesting account deletion are different actions.

Account settings let you submit a deletion request and view its status. The request is reviewed; it does not immediately erase the account, organization or collaboration records. You can withdraw a pending request from the same area.

The publisher must define and publish retention periods by data category, rules for shared histories and deletion schedules for backups. No numerical deadline is guaranteed here before those rules are confirmed.

10. Your choices and rights

You can correct profile information, manage your posts and adjust notifications. Account settings also offer a data export and the status of an account deletion request.

Depending on the processing and applicable conditions, data rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. Where processing relies on your consent, you can withdraw it. These rights do not mean every item in a shared history is automatically erased.

For other requests, you can use the contact form. Official publisher contact details will be added once confirmed. You can also consult the CNIL to learn about your rights and complaint procedures.

11. Changes to this information

The update date appears at the top of the page. This notice will be completed when publisher details, contacts, providers and retention rules have been confirmed.

Consult this page when using a new sharing feature or preparing collaboration documents. The terms of use separately explain member roles and how the network works.
