The intent of this article is to detail how your shipping information is used by Prospectus, the free instant parcel auditing tool powered by Share A Refund.
How shipping information is used
Shipping invoices uploaded to Prospectus are analyzed using the same auditing engine built into Share A Refund. Each shipment is reviewed for on-time delivery, among several other auditing points to assess billing accuracy. The shipping invoices, and details therein, are not shared or distributed with third-parties.
How login information is used
Login shipping credentials for carrier accounts, if provided are used to download shipping from inside your shipping account. The login credentials are not shared or distributed with third-parties.
How reports are displayed
The reports generated by Prospectus can be shared with third-parties. The url is unique, with a 256-bit SHA endpoint that is publicly viewable. The contents of this page don’t include any sensitive information about the shipper, recipient or any details from the shipments included within the analysis and subsequent report. This page, and reports downloadable on this page, can be shared with others.
