The data that we regularly collect about visitors to our Website (e.g., browser type, pages accessed, duration of visit, etc.) does not enable us to identify you. We use "cookies," small files that are sent to your browser and stored on your hard drive, to identify you as a unique user on our Website. Our use of cookies is explained in more detail below. We collect personally identifiable information about you only if you voluntarily provide it to us by requesting information, products, or services from us.

This includes monitoring and analyzing incoming emails to automatically route communications to the appropriate recipient based on email content.

For example, you might provide your name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. We collect and store that information. You may always choose not to provide the information we request. However, you may then be unable to take advantage of the features and services we offer on our Website.

Offline: When you sign up for an account or otherwise do business with the Company, you may provide personally identifiable information of yourself, if an individual or sole proprietor, or the company officers or contact persons, in addition to company information, if a company. We may use that information to obtain a credit, D&B or similar report or otherwise evaluate your eligibility for an account. When you apply for a job, you may provide personally identifiable information, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, birthdate, and Social Security Number (SSN). We may use that information to obtain a credit report, do a background or reference check, or otherwise evaluate your suitability for the job.

5) Information from Other Sources

From time to time, we may purchase or otherwise acquire information about you from other sources and add it to our database, including without limitation updated delivery and address information.

6) Overview of Information the Company Collects and How It Is Used and Shared

For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, we explain here what categories of personal information we have collected, where we got it from, and with whom we have shared it:

If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, including biometric data and information processed through AI systems, we will use that information to respond to your inquiry, process your order or application or to conduct our business. We may provide this information to third parties if we believe in our discretion it would be helpful in responding to you, or if this information is necessary for the third party to do their job (see "Third Party Service Providers," below).

We use AI and automated processing technologies to improve our services and operational efficiencies, including automated routing of communications and monitoring of company vehicle operations.

In some jurisdictions, individuals may have the right to withdraw consent from certain uses. If you reside in such jurisdictions, you may have additional rights which are detailed in the section entitled Privacy Rights in Certain States below.

In all cases, any service providers will be contractually limited in the way they may use personal information maintained by the Company, including requirements that such information be maintained in a confidential and secure manner.

If, in the future, we merge with or are acquired by another company, or change our structure, we may transfer your personally identifiable information to the surviving or acquiring entity.

We will also disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe in good faith we are required to do so (a) by law or to comply with the law or legal process; (b) to protect and defend our rights or property or the rights or property of our clients; or (c) in an emergency to protect the personal safety of our employees, clients, visitors or the public.

The Company may also disclose information to its accountants, auditors, agents, lawyers, and other advisors in connection with the enforcement or protection of our legal rights or to protect the interests or safety of our customer, our customers’ customers, employees, or others, in accordance with or as authorized by law.

7) Monitoring and Surveillance

To ensure safety, security, and compliance with company policies, the Company may monitor certain activities, including:

  • Video and audio monitoring inside company vehicles to detect driver distractions or unsafe behaviors.
  • Use of biometric timeclocks for attendance verification.

Such monitoring is conducted in accordance with applicable laws and with respect for employee privacy. Data collected through monitoring is used solely for legitimate business purposes and is protected with appropriate security measures.

8) Information from Our Client’s Customers

The Company may process transactions or applications that are supplied and managed by our customers. As a result, although we may access certain personal information of our customers’ customers pursuant to the contractual relationships we have with our customers, we typically do not collect and store personal information in our own systems except as may be necessary to provide services to our customers.

Typically, our customers are responsible for complying with all notices, notifications, and alerts to individuals whose information is entered into our systems or portals. We do not use or share that personal information except as directed by our customers.

9) No Sale or Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information

Any and all personal information collected by the Company, including biometric data and information processed through AI systems, will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, shared, reused, rented, disclosed, or loaned to third parties, except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

10) Third Party Service Providers

The Company may from time to time engage others ("Third-Party Providers") to provide online and offline services to the Company, to you, to other clients, or to visitors to our Website. For example, the Company may engage other companies to host, operate and maintain our Website, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, perform inventories or assessments, and provide credit information, background checks, and other services.

Third-Party Providers may include vendors who provide AI services, biometric data processing, and monitoring technologies. These providers are given access to your personally identifiable information only to the extent necessary to perform their services and are obligated to protect your information in accordance with applicable laws and this Privacy Policy.

11) Links to Other Websites

When you visit our Website, you may be directed to websites of Third-Party Providers and to other websites that are beyond our control ("Third-Party Websites"). There are many links to Third-Party Websites from our Website that may take you outside our service.

Company believes that this is one of the strengths of our Website. For example, if you "click" on a product link or Third-Party Provider link, that "click" may take you from our Website to that Third-Party Website.

If you choose to visit a Third-Party Website, you should understand that the Third party's privacy policy, and not this Privacy Policy, will govern your activities and any information you disclose while visiting that Third-Party Website.

Third-Party Websites may not have privacy policies or may have privacy policies that are not as protective of your personally identifiable information as the Company's Privacy Policy. Third-Party Websites may collect data, solicit personally identifiable information, or send cookies to visitors.

Company strongly recommends that you review and understand the privacy policies of the Third-Party Websites you visit, whether you visit Third-Party Websites directly or through a link from a page on our Website.

12) Do Not Track (DNT)

This is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals, and therefore the Company and the Website do not recognize DNT. The Company is committed to protecting your privacy and will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and industry best practices.

13) Marketing

To opt-out of commercial emails, simply click the link labeled "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" at the bottom of any commercial electronic communication we send you. Please note that even if you opt-out of promotional communications, we may still need to contact you with important information about your account.
  • Mail marketing, Telephone marketing, Surveys, and Quality control communications: You may decide that you prefer the Company not to use your personal information to promote new and/or additional products and/or services which may be of interest to you and refuse that we contact you by mail or telephone for marketing purposes or by email or telephone for quality control purposes. If this is the case, you may advise us by contacting customer service or contacting us using the information detailed in the Contacting Us section below.
