  • Legal Compliance: To fulfill legal obligations, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your data with third parties under the following circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors, data analytics providers, and hosting services.

4.2 Data Access for Business Use

As outlined in our agreements with carriers, we may access, aggregate, and share data from ELDs, cameras, and other sources with Data Recipients (e.g., insurers and service providers) to help arrange and administer insurance coverage, or for other related purposes. This may include:

  • Collected Data: Data collected from ELDs, cameras, or other devices, including driver and vehicle information, safety events, and location data.

4.3 Aggregated and Anonymous Data Sharing

We may share aggregated and anonymized usage data in the normal course of operating our business.

In these instances, the shared data will not contain any of your personally identifiable information, ensuring your privacy is maintained.

5. Security of Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal and business-related information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. The appropriate retention period for your data is determined based on several factors, including:

  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data.
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure.
  • The purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
  • Any applicable legal obligations, including statutory limitations.

Once the applicable retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted. If, for technical reasons, we are unable to delete some data entirely, we will implement appropriate measures to ensure that it is no longer used or accessible.

7. Location and Positioning Data

We use various technologies, including GPS, Wi-Fi, and other network-based systems, to collect and process location-based data from devices accessing our Services. This location data is used to provide relevant content and services based on your geographical position. We do not use location data to personally identify users without their explicit consent. The data is primarily used for navigation, routing, and enhancing the accuracy of our Services.

8. De-Identified Data

We take steps to de-identify your personal data so that it cannot be reasonably re-associated with you. Where possible, personal details such as name, address, age, or other identifiers are removed to protect your privacy. This de-identified data may be used to analyze trends or improve our services. In cases where we share data with third parties, such as insurers or service providers, we ensure that the shared data is anonymized or aggregated and does not contain any identifiable personal information.
