Editorial & Data Policy

TrackJet publishes reference pages, tools and a blog about shipment tracking. This page explains who writes them, where the data comes from, and how mistakes get fixed.

Who writes TrackJet #

Everything on this site is written and reviewed by Luis Romero — the software developer who built and operates TrackJet from Frankfurt am Main. I am not a freight forwarder; my expertise is the machine-readable side of logistics: the number formats, check digits, carrier identifiers and status vocabularies that tracking systems run on, learned by implementing them (validators, detectors, and the carrier directory behind this site) and by watching real anonymised searches succeed and fail. Provider details are in the imprint; the longer story is on the about page.

Where the data comes from #

  • Standards. Format and check-digit explanations are implemented against the published standards — ISO 6346 (containers), IATA Resolution 600a (air waybills), UPU S10 (postal) — and are exercised by the same validators that run the live detector. When a page shows a worked example, the arithmetic was executed by that code, not copied from another website.
  • Carrier directory. Carrier names, codes and tracking URLs are researched from the carriers' own public sites and cross-checked against openly licensed datasets; each entry records how and when it was last verified. Sources and their licences are documented in the repository's data-sources register.
  • Live shipment data. Timeline events come only from licensed feeds (for example DHL's Unified Tracking API) or from data you explicitly provide (a forwarded email, a manual entry) — never from scraping. Every event is labelled with its source.
  • Our own usage data. Observations like "people often paste a container number without its owner code" come from TrackJet's anonymised, aggregate search analytics. We publish qualitative patterns, not raw numbers, and never anything that could identify a person or a shipment.

How content is produced #

Drafting sometimes starts with AI assistance; nothing is published without human review, and no factual claim ships unless it is either verified against our own validators and live systems or attributed to a named external source (a standard, a carrier, a regulator). Pages that generate content automatically (for example carrier profiles) are gated by data-quality checks and reviewed before they are allowed to be indexed. TrackJet never publishes invented statistics, fabricated tracking events, or "estimated" values presented as measurements.

Corrections #

If you find an error — a wrong prefix, an outdated tracking URL, a mistake in a check-digit explanation — tell me. Verified corrections are applied promptly, the page's "last updated" date reflects the change, and material corrections are acknowledged on the affected page. Carrier data can also be reported directly from any carrier page.

Independence and advertising #

No carrier pays for placement in the directory or for coverage on the blog. The site may display clearly separated advertising (Google AdSense) to fund the free tracker; advertisers have no influence on editorial content, rankings or carrier data. See the disclaimer and the privacy policy for the details.
