• The types of information We may collect or that you may provide when you access or use the PeopleNet ConnectedDriver™ mobile application (the “App”); and
• Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
This policy applies only to information We collect through this App. This policy DOES NOT apply to information that We collect offline or on any other of Our apps, websites, software or services, or information that You provide to, or is collected by, any third party, including without limitation Our customers. Our websites and apps, and those third parties, may have their own privacy policies, which We encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.
Please read this policy carefully to understand Our policies and practices regarding your information and how We will treat it. If you do not agree with Our policies and practices, do not download or use this App. By downloading and/or using this App, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy).

Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure personal information provided by you through Our App from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where We have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of Our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although We do Our best to protect your personal information, We cannot guarantee the security of information, including without limitation your personal information, transmitted through Our App. Any transmission of information through the App is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures We provide.
Children Under the Age of 13
The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not have a commercial drivers’ license anyway. If We learn We have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, We will delete that information.

We may update Our privacy policy from time to time. If We make material changes to this privacy policy, We will post the new privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated.
The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting this privacy policy to check for any changes.
