At RiteLoad, our primary focus is “members first.” This notion drives all of our decisions, most importantly, how we gather, handle, store, and communicate your personal data.
Our policy is predicated on transparency and clarity to empower you – our most prized resource - to always feel informed and in control of your data stored on RiteLoad.
We are an online and mobile app enabled platform that allows drivers to be matched with shippers that are seeking on-demand shipping services (“Service”, or “Services”).
Our registered users (“Members”) share their professional identities, engage with their network, exchange knowledge and professional insights, post and view relevant content, and find business opportunities. Content on some of our services is also visible to unregistered viewers (“Visitors”). We believe that our services allow our Members to effectively compete and achieve their full career potential. The cornerstone of our business is to focus on our Members first.
We may share your information with your consent or as required by law, and we will always let you know when we make significant changes to this Privacy Policy.
Maintaining your trust is our top priority, so we adhere to the following principles to protect your privacy:
We protect your personal information and will only provide it to third parties: (1) with your consent; (2) where it is necessary to carry out your instructions; (3) as reasonably necessary in order to provide our features and functionality to you; (4) when we reasonably believe it is required by law, subpoena or other legal process; or (5) as necessary to enforce our Terms Of Use or protect the rights, property, or safety of RiteLoad, our Members and Visitors, and the public.

We are constantly innovating to improve our Services, which means we may create new ways to collect information on the Services.
Our Services are a dynamic, innovative environment, which means we are always seeking to improve the Services we offer you. We often introduce new features, some of which may result in the collection of new information (for example, when the Endorsements feature launched, we began collecting information about skills for which Members were endorsed and the individuals who endorsed them). Furthermore, new partnerships or corporate acquisitions may result in new features, and we may potentially collect new types of information. If we start collecting substantially new types of personal information and materially change how we handle your data, we will modify this Privacy Policy and notify you in accordance with Section 4.3.

We may also use Members information and content for invitations and communications promoting our Services that are tailored to the recipient.
We share your information across our different Services, among companies in the RiteLoad family.
We may share your personal information with our affiliates (meaning entities controlled by, controlling or under common control with RiteLoad) outside of the RiteLoad entity that is your data controller (for example, RiteLoad may share your information or other RiteLoad operating entities) as reasonably necessary to provide the Services. You are consenting to this sharing.
Any information you put on your profile and any content you post on RiteLoad may be seen by others.
We don’t provide any of your non-public information (like your email address) to third parties without your consent, unless required by law, or as described in Sections 2.5 and 2.13 of this Policy.
The visibility of your profile to other Members depends on the nature of your relationship with the viewing Member, the subscriptions they may have, their usage of the Services, access channels and search types (e.g. by name or by keyword).
We do not rent or sell personal information that you have not posted on our Services, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We will not disclose personal information that is not published to your profile or generated through engagement with our other services except to carry out your instructions (for example, to process payment information) or unless we have your separate consent, unless we have a good faith belief that disclosure is permitted by law or is reasonably necessary to: (1) comply with a legal requirement or process, including, but not limited to, civil and criminal subpoenas, court orders or other compulsory disclosures; (2) enforce this Privacy Policy or our Terms Of Use; (3) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third parties; (4) respond to Member service inquiries; or (5) protect the rights, property, or safety of RiteLoad, our Services, our Members, Visitors, or the public.

We support middleware providers that offer archiving solutions to firms subject to legal and regulatory archiving requirements, which, with your permission, facilitate the archiving of your communications and other activity by a third party for compliance purposes. Content distributed through our sharing features and third-party integrations may result in displaying some of your personal information outside of our Services. For example, when you post content to a Group that is open for public discussion, your content, including your name as the contributor, may be displayed in search engine results.
Also, if you have opted to bind any of your Service accounts to your Twitter, Facebook or other similar account, you can easily share content from our Services to these third party services, in accordance with your account settings (which you may change at any time) and respective policies of these third parties. Further, we allow third parties to look-up profile information (subject to your privacy settings) using your email address or first and last name information through its profile API (see Section 2.7. below).
Third parties (for example, your email provider) may give you the option to upload certain information in your contacts stored with us onto their own service.

We may work with developers to build Platform Applications using our developer tools. Whether you use Platform Applications is up to you.
If you have given a Platform Application access to your RiteLoad account, you can revoke that permission anytime. Also, you can opt out of providing information to developers through your connections.
We collaborate with and allow third parties to use our developer platform to offer services and functionality in conjunction with our Services. These third-party developers have either negotiated an agreement to use our platform technology or have agreed to our self-service API and Plugin terms to build applications (“Platform Applications”). Both the negotiated agreements and our API and Plugin terms contain restrictions on how third parties may access, store, and use the personal information you provide to us.
If you choose to use a Platform Application, you will be asked to confirm acceptance of the privacy policy and Terms Of Use of the third-party developer. To revoke permission granted to a Platform Application, please visit your settings. Note, however, that even if you revoke the permission granted to a Platform Application, your connections may still be using the Platform Application, so the Platform Application may still have access to certain information about you, just as your connections do.
We conduct our own surveys and polls and help third parties do this type of research. Your participation in surveys or polls is up to you. You may also opt out of getting invitations to participate in surveys.
Polls and Surveys may be conducted by us, Members, or third parties. Some third parties may target advertisements to you on the results page based on your answers in the poll. We or third parties may follow up with you via e-mail regarding your participation unless you have opted out of receiving e-mail messages. We may use third parties to deliver incentives to you to participate in surveys or polls. If the delivery of incentives requires your contact information, you may be asked to provide personal information to the third party fulfilling the incentive offer, which will be used only for delivering incentives and verifying your contact information. It is up to you whether you provide this information, or whether you desire to take advantage of an incentive. Your consent to use any personal information for the purposes set forth in the poll or survey will be explicitly requested by the party conducting it.
You are responsible for any information you post on our Services, and this content will be accessible to others as may be required by the Services.
