Cangxin AI — Privacy Policy
Version 1.1 (Beta) · Effective date: November 11, 2026
1. Who we are
Cangxin AI is operated by Westwake Inc., 5540 Pal Mal Ave, Temple City, CA 91780 ("we", "us"). Privacy questions and requests: privacy@cangxinai.com.
Cangxin AI is a service for businesses (warehouses and sellers). It is not meant for consumers or for anyone under 18.
2. Two roles
- Our own users. For people who visit our site, sign up, or use Cangxin AI as warehouse staff or sellers, we decide how their information is used. This policy explains how.
- Data we process for our customers. Warehouses and sellers put their own business data into Cangxin AI, including their customers' (parcel recipients') names and addresses. For that data we act on our customers' instructions as a service provider, under our Data Processing Addendum. If you received a parcel and have a question about your data, please contact the seller you bought from; we will help the seller answer.
3. What we collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account and contact details | name, e-mail, phone (optional), company or store name, warehouse type and address, job title | you |
| Login and security | password (stored only as a hash), two-step verification settings, login events, IP address, browser data in server logs | you, your device |
| Acceptance of our terms | which version of the terms and of this policy you accepted at sign-up, when, and from which IP address | you, your device |
| One-free-workspace check | a random device ID in a cookie; keyed hashes of your e-mail mailbox, phone number, device ID and network | you, your device |
| Early-access list | company, name, WeChat ID or phone, state, orders per month, current system | you |
| Business data in a workspace | products, stock, orders, charges, contracts, prepaid balance records kept by warehouses, documents, messages | warehouses and sellers |
| Recipient data (for customers) | parcel recipients' name, address, phone, e-mail, label files | sellers, warehouses, connected marketplaces |
| Tracking data | tracking numbers, carrier codes, carrier scan events and their locations | warehouses, sellers, tracking providers |
| Verification | business documents you upload (for example licence, state registration, DBA, seller's permit, EIN letter), the check result, the owner or authorized-representative confirmation (name, title) | you |
| Directory and Fulfillment Score | public profile content (only when you publish it), score data, appeals, seller reports (the reporter's identity is kept but never shown to the warehouse and never published), views of private share links | you, the system, sellers |
| AI features | what you type or upload to the AI features, the AI's answers, an audit record of AI actions | you |
| Messages to us | e-mails and their content | you |
Payments. If you buy AI credits, Stripe processes the payment. Card details are entered directly at Stripe and never reach us; we receive the payment status, amount, card brand and last four digits, and the billing name and e-mail. What we do not collect. We do not collect bank account details. We do not ask for identity documents or selfies, and we do not collect biometric data. Files that our checks recognise as identity documents are refused or not read.
4. Why we use it
- to create, run and secure accounts and workspaces, and to provide the features you use;
- to enforce one free workspace per business and to prevent fraud and abuse;
- to measure usage against the Free plan and show it to you;
- to compute Fulfillment Scores, run the directory and apply the published self-service rules (verification, pauses, holds, appeals); some of these decisions are automatic (see section 8);
- to send service messages (confirmations, notices, password resets). We do not send newsletters or marketing e-mails;
- to provide AI features (section 6);
- to comply with the law and enforce our terms.
5. Who receives it
- Service providers (sub-processors) that host our servers, store encrypted backups, track parcels or provide AI, under contract and only for these purposes. The current list is on our Sub-processors page.
- Other users, when you choose: the warehouses you send a quote request to see your contact details and you see theirs; the warehouse you work with sees your orders, including recipient data, to fulfil them; your public profile is visible to anyone once you publish it; a private share link shows your score to the one seller you name.
- Carriers and shipping services, through the warehouse's or seller's own accounts, to buy labels and ship parcels.
- Authorities, when the law requires it; and a buyer of our business if it is sold, with notice to you.
We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6. AI processing
Some features use an AI model provided by Anthropic, PBC (USA), our sub-processor. Our AI Notice explains what is sent, feature by feature. In short:
- AI never receives recipient personal data. The AI assistant never receives recipients' names, street addresses, cities, ZIP codes, phone numbers or e-mail addresses.
- When orders are imported and our rules cannot map the columns of a spreadsheet on their own, only the column headers and up to 20 sample rows are sent, with recipient names, companies, streets, cities, phone numbers and e-mails masked and ZIP codes cut to their first 3 digits. Pasted order text and order photos or PDFs are never sent.
- For other uploads (inbound notices, products, setup data), text is masked the same way before it is sent; photos and PDFs of these documents may be sent as images. They are not expected to contain recipient data.
- A warehouse can switch AI off for its uploads ("rules-only import").
7. Cookies
We use only cookies needed for the site to work. We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
session_id | keeps you logged in | ends after a period of inactivity (at most 7 days) |
frontend_lang | remembers the language you chose | 365 days |
wms_ss_device | random device ID used to enforce one free workspace (not readable by scripts) | 400 days |
| other technical cookies of the underlying Odoo software (for example selected company or time zone) | make the app work | short-lived, technical |
8. Automated decisions
- The published rules on
/self-serve/rulesdecide automatically whether a warehouse's public profile passes verification, is paused, put on hold or restored, using carrier data and seller reports. These decisions affect only the public profile and directory listing, never the private workspace. - While a profile is paused, the public page shows only "temporarily offline". The reason is told only to the warehouse.
- The warehouse can appeal. An automatic appeal outcome is preliminary, and the warehouse can ask for a human review.
- Fulfillment Scores are computed automatically by the published method on
/score/methodology. The score reflects shipping performance only and is not an assessment of credit, financial condition or legal compliance. - The AI does not make these decisions.
9. How long we keep it
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Recipient name, address, phone, e-mail, label files and import rows of shipped orders | anonymised at most 30 days after shipment; country, state and the first 3 ZIP digits stay. A warehouse can shorten the period (1 to 30 days) but cannot lengthen it or switch it off |
| Packing photos of shipped orders | kept as claim evidence and visible only to the warehouse; they can show a shipping label. A warehouse can choose to have them deleted with the recipient data |
| Recipient data in AI records | removed after 30 days |
| AI conversation text | 90 days |
| AI action audit records | 1 year (free text kept only as a length and a fingerprint) |
| Backups (they contain all data) | at most 30 days, encrypted |
| Security event records (logins, IP addresses) | up to 400 days |
| Terms acceptance records and the appeals and decisions log | while the account exists, and afterwards as long as we may need them to handle legal claims |
| Uploaded business documents and other workspace business data | while the account is open; deleted or anonymised within 90 days after it closes |
| Accounting records | as long as tax law requires |
| Early-access list | until you ask us to delete it |
| E-mails to us | up to 2 years after the last contact |
10. Security
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all traffic.
- Backups are encrypted (AES-256) on our server before a copy leaves it.
- Each customer's data is separated by access rules that are tested automatically.
- Staff access is limited; provider keys are stored so that they cannot be read back.
No system is perfectly secure. We will notify you of a security incident as the law requires. Please report security issues to security@cangxinai.com.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example California), you may ask to know and access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, receive a copy, and limit the use of sensitive information. We use sensitive information (such as login credentials) only to provide and secure the service. We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.
Send requests to privacy@cangxinai.com. We will confirm your identity (usually by e-mail from your account address) and answer within 45 days. You may use an authorized agent. For recipient data, please ask the seller; we will help the seller answer.
12. Where data is stored
- Our production servers are in the United States (Hillsboro, Oregon), hosted by Hetzner.
- Encrypted backup copies are stored with Cloudflare R2. Cloudflare cannot read them.
- Our AI provider processes data in the United States.
- If you use Cangxin AI from outside the United States, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States.
13. Changes
We post changes on this page with a new version and date. We tell account owners by e-mail about material changes before they take effect.
