Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 4, 2026

Last updated: August 4, 2026

This policy explains what information CustomsCopilot collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. It covers both our website at customscopilot.ai and the CustomsCopilot platform used by licensed customs brokers and exporters.

1 Who we are

CustomsCopilot is a product of YEM Corporation, a Texas corporation with a place of business at 500 W. Overland Ave., Suite 250G, El Paso, Texas 79901.

In this policy, "CustomsCopilot," "we," "us," and "our" mean that entity. "You" means a visitor to our website, a user of our platform, or a business that has contracted with us.

2 Scope of this policy

CustomsCopilot is a business-to-business service. We sell to licensed U.S. customs brokers and to exporters. We do not offer consumer accounts.

This policy covers:

An important distinction. When a broker or exporter uses our platform, they upload or forward trade documents belonging to their own customers. We process that content on our customer's behalf and under their instructions. Our customer decides what to send us and what it is used for. If you are an importer or exporter whose documents were submitted by your broker, contact your broker first — their agreement with you governs that data, and we will direct your request to them.

3 Information we collect

3.1 Information you give us directly

3.2 Customer content — trade documents

The core of our service is processing documents our customers send us. These typically contain:

We treat this as confidential business information, not consumer personal data. It may nevertheless include the names and contact details of individuals acting in a business capacity, and we protect that information under this policy.

3.3 Information collected automatically

3.4 What we do not collect

We do not request or intentionally collect Social Security numbers, payment card numbers, health information, biometric identifiers, precise geolocation, or government identity documents. Because documents reach us as email attachments and uploads, we cannot prevent a sender from including such information in a document. Please do not send it. If you tell us it was sent in error, we will remove it where our recordkeeping obligations allow.

4 How we use information

We use information to:

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use customer trade documents to train any artificial intelligence model, our own or anyone else's.

5 Artificial intelligence

CustomsCopilot uses artificial intelligence to read trade documents and extract structured data from them. We want to be direct about what that means.

5.1 What the AI does

When a document reaches our platform, its contents — including any text and images in it — are sent to a third-party large language model provider for analysis. The model returns extracted field values, which our software assembles into a draft filing.

5.2 What the AI does not do

AI output is a draft, never a filing. Every entry, export declaration, and in-bond document produced by our platform must be reviewed and approved by a licensed customs broker or an authorized filer before it is transmitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection or any other agency. The platform does not transmit anything on its own initiative. The licensed broker or filer remains the party responsible for the accuracy of what is filed.

Our full statement on this is on the AI Disclosure page.

5.3 Our AI provider

We use a third-party large language model provider located in the United States. We identify that provider to customers under contract. Under our agreement with them, content we submit is not used to train their models.

5.4 Processing records

We keep a record of each AI processing event: which document was processed, when, which model version was used, and what the model returned. We keep these records to support our customers' recordkeeping obligations, to investigate discrepancies, and to demonstrate that a human reviewed each filing before it was transmitted.

6 Cookies and tracking technologies

Our website and application use a small number of browser storage technologies. We use them to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences — not to build an advertising profile.

TypePurposeCan you turn it off?
Strictly necessary Session and authentication tokens that keep you signed in and protect against cross-site request forgery. No — the application will not work without these.
Preferences Local storage that remembers your language choice (English or Spanish). Yes — clear your browser storage. You will simply be asked again.
Analytics None. We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics or tracking tag. Not applicable.
Advertising None. We do not run advertising or third-party ad trackers. Not applicable.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.

Because we use only strictly necessary and preference storage, no cookie consent banner is required. If we ever add analytics or marketing tags, we will update this section first.

7 How we share information

We share information only in these circumstances:

8 Service providers

We rely on the following providers. We keep this list current; material additions will be reflected here and, for platform customers, communicated under your agreement.

9 Marketing email

If you request a demo or give us your business email, we may send you information about CustomsCopilot. Every marketing message includes an unsubscribe link and our physical mailing address. We honor opt-out requests promptly and in any event within ten business days, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act.

Opting out of marketing does not stop service messages — billing notices, security alerts, and outage notifications — which we send to platform users regardless.

10 How long we keep information

Customs and export recordkeeping rules drive our retention periods. Under 19 C.F.R. Part 163, records relating to customs entries must generally be kept for five years from the date of entry. Export records under 15 C.F.R. § 30.10 carry a comparable five-year requirement. We retain filing-related records accordingly so that our customers can meet those obligations.

CategoryRetention period
Documents, extracted data, and generated filingsFive years from the filing date, unless your agreement says otherwise
AI processing recordsFive years, matching the filings they relate to
Account recordsFor the life of the account, then three years after closure
Security and access logsTwelve months
Demo requests and marketing contactsUntil you unsubscribe or ask for deletion
Support ticketsThree years

When a customer's agreement ends, we handle return and deletion of their data as that agreement provides. We may keep records we are legally required to keep, and we may keep backup copies for a limited period until they expire on their normal cycle.

11 Data security

Measures we maintain include:

No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, please write to info@yemco.net. We will acknowledge and investigate.

12 Your rights and choices

Whatever your location, you may:

To make a request, write to info@yemco.net. We will verify your identity before acting, and we will respond within the time the applicable law allows.

12.1 Texas residents

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act gives Texas consumers rights over personal data processed for personal or household purposes. Our service is business-to-business, so most of what we handle falls outside it. We honor the requests above regardless.

12.2 If your documents were submitted by your broker

Contact your broker. They control that data and their agreement with you governs it. We will pass your request along to them.

13 Breach notification

If a security breach compromises sensitive personal information, we will notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay, and we will notify regulators where the law requires it — including the Texas Attorney General when 250 or more Texas residents are affected. We will also notify affected business customers under the terms of their agreements.

14 Location of processing

We are a United States company. Our service is offered to United States customs brokers and exporters, and information is stored and processed in the United States. We do not offer the service in the European Union or the United Kingdom, and we do not target users there.

15 Children's privacy

CustomsCopilot is a professional business service. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.

16 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service or the law changes. When we do, we revise the "Last updated" date at the top. If a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will give platform customers advance notice by email or through the application before it takes effect. Previous versions are available on request.
