Overview

Welcome to our Privacy Overview! We prioritize the confidentiality of our business associates across all our platforms, including websites, mobile applications, and other services, collectively referred to as “Sites.” By using the Sites, you agree to the processing of your information as described in this Privacy Statement. This statement specifically applies to information collected through the Sites and does not cover the practices of our corporate affiliates or third parties. Our Sites may include data from corporate affiliates, third parties, and publicly available sources. For information about the privacy practices of any company you interact with, whether they are associated with Nationwide Cargo, Inc. or not, please review their respective privacy policies.

Nationwide Cargo, Inc. functions as a business-to-business transportation provider, serving the industry and their authorized agents. Our services are not designed for individual consumers and are not intended for persons under the age of eighteen (18). If you are in this category, we kindly ask you not to submit any personal information to us.

Information Collection

We collect information from the Sites by us, as well as by our service providers, advertisers, sponsors, and partners.

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you choose to provide on the Site through various methods. This may include details such as your name, address, phone number, location, email address, and any other information you disclose.

Automated Information

Data regarding your use of the Sites may be collected and/or combined through automated methods. This automatically gathered data may include details such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, date and time of access, pages visited, emails opened and links clicked within those emails, location, ISP or mobile carrier, and the type of handheld or mobile device used.

Data Technologies

Various technologies are used to automatically collect information, including cookies, pixels, local shared objects, and web beacons, collectively referred to as “Data Technologies.” Cookies are small identifiers sent from a web server and stored on your device to recognize your browser or retain information/settings. Local shared objects, or Flash cookies, may store preferences or display personalized content based on your browsing history. Web beacons, also known as Internet tags or clear GIFs, link web pages to web servers and their cookies. Additionally, anonymous advertising identifiers are increasingly used on mobile devices, similar to cookies. Our reference to Data Technologies includes all current and potential future technologies of a similar nature.

Biometric Information

Certain applications and Sites can be accessed through devices with biometric access credentials such as fingerprint, thumbprint, or face scan capabilities. However, we want to clarify that we do not receive, collect, use, or store any of this biometric information from your device.

Camera Information

Certain applications require the use of your device’s camera. In these instances, you must enable the camera settings on your device. Please be aware that we may collect photos and other data when your camera is used in conjunction with our Sites or Services.

Location Information

We may collect GPS and physical location data precise enough to identify a specific person or device (referred to as “Location Information”). However, we only gather Location Information with your explicit consent, such as when you agree to use or download an application or access a Site. This Location Information may be used and shared with shippers (if applicable) and/or third parties to provide you with location-specific content and services, including advertising, search results, and directions.

Publicly Shared Information

Any details you opt to reveal to us and others via social media networks, forums, blogs, listservs, chat rooms, or similar platforms are considered public information. This information may be shared or used by us or others in accordance with applicable laws.

Aggregated Information and Information from Other Sources

We reserve the right to combine the information you provide with data gathered from our affiliates, other sources, and automatically collected information. This consolidated data may include details about your usage of the Sites, interactions with other websites, devices, and mobile applications, as well as information from our affiliates and other sources.

Applications, Widgets, and Social Media

We may incorporate social media applications or widgets that enable users to interact or share content. These widgets, such as a Facebook “Share” or “Like” button, are visible on the web page you are visiting. This integration between the Sites and social media networks may allow those networks to collect information about you, even if you do not explicitly activate their application or widget, provided you are a participant. For more details on their data collection practices and available choices, please refer to the privacy policy of the relevant social media network. It is important to note that the social media network’s privacy policy governs the collection, use, and disclosure of all information transmitted to that network.

We do not sell or otherwise distribute the information we collect or receive about you. However, we reserve the right to access or disclose information, including personal data, in the following situations:

To protect our interests and the legal rights or property of Nationwide Cargo, Inc. and our affiliates;

To ensure the safety, security, rights, and interests of users of the Sites or the general public;

To prevent fraud or for risk management purposes; or

To comply with prudent legal practices, as determined by us, and applicable laws or legal processes.
