Collection and Use of Personal Data

By installing the Company’s Apps or using our Website on your computer or mobile device, you hereby consent to the Company’s collection, use, and disclosure of certain information which may, under some jurisdictions, be considered personal data.

The Company’s App is designed to be used and installed on cell phones or other similar devices. The App is designed to collect and transmit to Company the location of the mobile device on which the App is installed. The location data is collected through the device’s GPS system and transmitted to the Company when the App is running and the user is considered to be in the process of transporting goods for a Customer of the Company (a “Customer”).

The location data is composed of the device’s latitude, longitude, altitude, and heading, as well as a measure of the accuracy of that data. In addition to location data, the App also collects some information about the phone for verification and diagnostic purposes. This information may include the phone’s number, the type of phone, including make, model, and OS, the phone’s state and battery, and language and region codes. No identifying information, such as name or email address, is collected by the app.

The location data is used by Company to provide tracking information on the present location of goods being transported from Customers. The location data is not used for any other purpose. You may uninstall the app at any time or disable its access to your mobile device’s GPS, however, this will prevent Customer from being able to accurately track the movement of goods you may be transporting on their behalf.
