Does FedEx Trade Networks ask for personal information? Several areas of ftn.fedex.com and worldtariff.com ask for personal information. They include: registration pages for My Global Trade Data and worldtariff.com. This list may be expanded without notice. In the event that it is expanded, additional information may be required.

How does FedEx Trade Networks use the information? The information collected through ftn.fedex.com and worldtariff.com helps us identify the type of web site content our customers value most. We use this information to market and improve the web site and our services.
