Cargors provides an online and mobile platform to connect Shippers with Carriers for the transportation of road freight. Shippers can submit a request for quote (RFQ) for the transportation of freight, carriers can quote on such requests and when accepted by the shippers they can assign drivers to fulfill them, and Shippers, Carriers, and Drivers can track such requests. In this process, Cargors does not act as a broker between shippers and carriers as both parties can deal directly with no manipulation of prices.

 

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the information collected by Cargors (“Cargors”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) about you the user (“you” or “user”) when you access or use the application, website, content, and service, or when you call, text or email s (the “Services”). Cargors is committed to protecting your privacy. Cargors maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to assist in protecting the information we collect from you against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. However, no electronic transmission of information can be entirely secure, and Cargors does not guarantee that the security measures in place will prevent all potential security breaches.

 

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the bottom of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you. 

 

Collection of Information

 

Information you provide to us

We collect the information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you fill out a form, request to be a Carrier or a Shipper, log into your Cargors account, submit a quote request, accept a quote, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include name, company name, email address, phone number, payment information, insurance information, service ratings and reviews, and any other information you choose to provide.

 

Information we collect when you use the Services

When you use the Services, we collect additional information about Shipment requests and how they are fulfilled, including the following:

 

Shippers: If you are a shipper and submit a Shipment request, we collect certain details related to your submission, including the date and time of your request, origin and destination addresses, description of the load being transported, rate, and other information about the Shipment.

 

Carriers: If you are a carrier, we collect information on your quotes on Shipment requests as well as information about your acceptance and fulfillment of any Shipment requests, including vehicle and driver information.

 

Drivers: If you are a driver transporting load on behalf of a Carrier, we may collect information on your travel to fulfill a Shipment request. We also collect information about your location and about files you upload as described below.

 

Location Information

Providing Services to our users requires the collection of precise location information. When you download and use our mobile applications, we will ask for permission to access your precise location. If you grant our mobile applications permission to access your location through the permission system used by your mobile operating system, we will collect the precise location of your device. We use this information to track Shipments, and also to understand your typical driving patterns to offer Carriers more insight. We may also receive information about your location from third parties, such as the Shippers and Carriers involved in fulfilling any Shipment request.

 

Photos

Our Services may ask you to photograph and upload to the Services certain documents related to the fulfillment of a Shipment request, such as proofs of delivery. You may also be able to upload pictures of the load that you carry. To do this, our mobile applications will request access to the camera on your device via the permission system used by your mobile operating system.
