Privacy Policy
Effective as of October 1st, 2017.
Please read this privacy policy carefully before you launch TruxTrax application.
This Privacy Policy explains how TruxTrax.com, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or “TruxTrax”) collects, uses and shares your “Personal Information” — information that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with you as a particular individual, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number—and other data through your use of any of TruxTrax’s web sites, services, code and/or software (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing the Services, you accept this Privacy Policy, agree to the terms, conditions and notices contained or referenced herein as well as in Terms of Service, and you consent to collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described herein. Any capitalized term used, but not defined, herein, has the meaning given to it in the TOS.
As a general rule there are two categories of users of the Services: “Drivers” who use the Services in connection with their professional driving activities, and “Fleet Operators” who are in the business of operating fleets of trucks (collectively, “you”).
What Information We Collect
We may collect two types of Personal Information: (i) personally identifiable information (“PII”), which constitutes any information that can identify an individual directly or through other reasonably available means and is otherwise referred to herein as “Personal Information”, but does not include information deemed not to be Personal Information in accordance with applicable law; and (ii) non-personally identifiable information (“Non-PII”), which is also referred to as aggregate and anonymous data, or is information that would not, in and of itself, identify you. Please note that what one may initially consider to be Non-PII may, in some contexts, such as in respect of small geographic locations or communities, result in such information being attributable to you or allowing you to be identified because of the context. Please consider this when providing information.
What Information We Ask You For
When you sign up to the Services or otherwise make an inquiry to us about the Services, you will be asked to provide us with certain PII about yourself such as your first name, last name, email address, phone number, company name, address, and DOT number, and signature. You may also be required to provide your credit card information, should you decide to subscribe to the Services.
What Information We Automatically Gather
Some Non-PII may automatically be collected when you use or visit the Services. We collect and store information related to your use of the Services, such as the pages you view on the website, and information pertaining to your computer device, network, protocols and software and the date and time of your visit. The Non-PII we automatically collect is used to help us provide a more relevant and useful site experience to you. This information is also used in the aggregate to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Services.
What Other Information May Be Collected

We will periodically record your location to facilitate various features within the Services. - Driver Logs, Vehicle Inspection Reports, and other Business Data
If you choose to use the business process automation functionality of the Services, we will collect any Personal Information that you disclose in the use of such functionality. - Documents and Photos
If you choose to use the document and/or photo capture functionality of the Services, we will store the captured images and may share them with other users of the Services as part of this functionality. - Text Messages
If you choose to use the messaging functionality of the Services, we will store the messages and metadata related to the messages, and may share this information with other users of the Services as part of this functionality. - Profile
You may have a profile (a “Profile”) on the Services and certain information in your profile may be available to other users of the Services. You have the ability to view your Profile, and can update and/or change your Profile through our website or our apps. Note that if you include PII in your Profile, it can be used and viewed by others. We are not responsible for the information you choose to include in your Profile. - Feedback
You should feel free to give us feedback, register a complaint, or ask questions about the Services. We may store your communications, including any Personal Information you include in them, so that we can effectively respond to you.
How We Use Your Information
Our primary objective in collecting your information is to provide services that are of the greatest interest and use to you. In addition to those uses mentioned above, we use the PII collected for the following purposes: (i) for registration and access to your account; (ii) to manage your account; (iii) to communicate with you; (iv) to measure interest in and improve our Services; (v) to provide you with information and offers from us or third parties that we believe you may find useful or interesting, including marketing or promotional materials, advertisements, coupons and other information on services and products offered by us or third parties; (vi) to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems; and (vii) to monitor the Services and to enforce the TOS. In addition, the Personal Information allows us to develop and customize the Services and to better understand what products and services you would like. The Personal Information may also be used to send you e-mails that we believe may be of interest to you, such as our newsletters. You may opt out of receiving any such e-mails by unsubscribing; simply follow the unsubscribing instructions.
In addition to the uses mentioned above, we use the Non-PII collection for the following purposes: (i) to monitor and analyze use of the Services and for the technical administration of the Services; (ii) to increase functionality and user-friendliness of the Services; (iii) to better tailor the Services to your needs; and (iv) to generate and derive useful data and information concerning the interests, characteristics and use behaviour of users, and to verify that users of the Services meet the criteria required to process their requests.
As you browse TruxTrax.com, Inc and other websites, online ad networks we work with may place anonymous cookies on your computer, and use similar technologies, in order to understand your interests based on your (anonymous) online activities, and thus to tailor more relevant ads to you. If you do not wish to receive such tailored advertising, you can visit this page to opt out of most companies that engage in such advertising. (This will not prevent you from seeing ads; the ads simply will not be delivered through these targeting methods.)

Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
The Canadian government has enacted the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). PIPEDA outlines the way personal information may be used in Canada, and we fully adhere to it.

You may contact us to provide you with more information in respect of our Privacy Policy and privacy practices, or to provide you with an opportunity to review your PII currently held by us and to request an amendment to the PII to correct any inaccuracies you determine are contained in such PII holdings. Where you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of your PII held by us, we will correct or update the information as required. Please note that before we are able to provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies we may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details to help us to respond to your request. You are also entitled to request information as to the type of PII we have collected from you, how we have used your PII in the past and how we may use it in the future, and whether or not we have disclosed your PII to any third parties (and, if so, to whom).
There may be circumstances where we are unable to provide access to your PII. We may deny access for legally permissible reasons, such as situations where the information contains references to other individuals and is not reasonably severable, or where it cannot be disclosed for legal, security or other commercial proprietary reasons. We will advise you of any reason for denying an access request.
