Protecting your privacy is really important to Next Trucking, Inc. (“Next Trucking,” “we” or “us”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and share personal information in connection with providing our Services (as defined in the Next Trucking Terms of Service). It also explains related rights and choices you may have.
You may see other privacy notices when we collect your personal information for certain Services. Those notices supplement this Policy. This Policy also contains a statement specific to California consumers, see Section 8 relating to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. That statement supplements the rest of this Policy, but to the extent it differs from other parts of the Policy, the statement governs with respect to California consumers.
To the extent that Next Trucking has links to third party websites, please note that we do not own, operate, or control those sites, and this Policy does not cover those sites, which may have their own privacy policies that you should review.
When we say “personal information” or “personal data,” we mean your unique identifiers (full name, phone number, email address, IP address, etc.), and information about your characteristics, conditions or behavior that is associated with one of your identifiers or could reasonably be linked to you. The law in your area may define categories of personal information differently.
“Non-personal information,” on the other hand, has been aggregated, anonymized or de-identified so that it can’t reasonably be linked to an individual.
In order to provide our Services, Next Trucking collects information that you share directly with us. Also, our website and other online Services, like many online services, automatically log some information about you or your device to distinguish you from other users or to help track shipments. Some of that information is logged using cookies and similar online tracking technologies, which you can learn more about in Section 6. Finally, we may receive information about you from third parties, such as Geotab, that help us monitor shipments. Where permitted by law, we may combine information received from third parties with information we have collected from you. To the extent the information, alone or in combination, constitutes personal information, we will treat it as personal information as described in this Policy.
Generally, we collect some or all of the following categories of personal information if you contact us, visit our website, use a Service, register an account with us, sign up to receive communications from us, or share content online:
If you are interacting with us on behalf of a shipper or carrier, we may also collect:
If you are one of our drivers transporting a shipment, we may also collect:
We use personal information in connection with our Services and for other business purposes, including to:
We may use non-personal information for any purpose.
We may share your information with our corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities for a variety of purposes, including business, operational and marketing purposes.
We may share your information with vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as hosting our online services, managing databases, performing analyses, conducting surveys, monitoring shipments, sending communications and newsletters for us, or conducting marketing campaigns. Where necessary and appropriate, our agreements with vendors prohibit them from retaining, using or disclosing the personal information we share with them for any purpose other than performing services on our behalf.
We may share your personal information with analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media companies to measure performance of our Services and marketing efforts or to deliver personalized advertising about our products and services. This sharing may involve the use of “Cookies,” which are explained in Section 6, below. Where necessary and appropriate, our agreements with these partners prohibit them from retaining, using or disclosing the personal information we share with them for any purpose other than providing us with analytics or advertising services.
We may have a legal obligation to disclose personal information to government authorities or other third parties pursuant to a valid regulatory request, subpoena or court order. We may also need to disclose and otherwise process your personal information in accordance with applicable law to defend our legitimate interests, for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings.
If we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize our businesses, this can involve us disclosing personal information to prospective or actual purchasers and their advisers, or receiving personal information from sellers and their advisers.
We will share your personal information with other third parties as you may direct, or if you otherwise consent.
When we say “Cookies,” we mean online identification and tracking tools that include browser cookies, pixels (also known as web beacons), and similar browser and device storage technologies.
Browser cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. Cookies are used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). Cookies ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in.
Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services to the owner of the website (“third party cookies”).
Both websites and emails may also contain pixels, which can track your activity across different sites or report how you interact with emails. These are typically small transparent images that provide the party placing them with statistics and usage data, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way as cookies. As a result, if you disable cookies, tracking pixels may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
We use Cookies for several different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a user takes a particular action on one of our Services. Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a registered user, while others are set whenever you visit or use one of our Services (irrespective of whether you have an account). For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see Section 7, below.
We set Cookies in different locations across our Services. These locations may include:
This list describes the types of Cookies used on our Services and their purposes:
We partner with analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media companies to measure the performance of our services or marketing efforts and to serve personalized ads. Some of those partners use their own (third party) Cookies on our Services. As a result, when our site loads in your browser, your browser may automatically download content from our partner’s servers and share information about your or your device, such as IP address, other online Identifiers, Device/Browser Information, or Usage Information and Browsing History, with our partner.
Partners that may place their Cookies through our Services include, but may not be limited to:
See Section 7, below for information about how to block or limit Cookies and opt-out of interest-based advertising.
You may opt-out of our email communications by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email.
You can opt-out from at least some interest-based advertising online by using the opt-out tools offered by these organizations:
If you use these industry options to opt out from interest-based advertising for third parties through our services, we will attempt to apply your choice to your member experience. However, we may not have enough information to do so.
At any time, you may adjust settings on your browser to refuse cookies and other tracking pixels according to the instructions related to your browser. However, if you choose to disable these technologies, some features of the website may not operate properly.
If you are a California resident see Section 8, you may have other rights and choices.
This statement makes additional disclosures to California residents (i.e., “consumers”), and describes rights they have, under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended.(the “CCPA”).
Some or all consumer rights described herein may not apply to our processing of personal information about job applicants, employees, independent contractors, and other personnel, or to our processing of personal information relating to employees or other representatives of our vendors or business partners.
California’s Attorney General has published proposed implementing regulations for the CCPA, but the regulations have not yet taken effect and remain subject to change. The final regulations may alter how businesses have to comply with the CCPA. Development of our CCPA compliance program is ongoing, and we may update this Policy again soon as a result.

California residents have the right to make the following requests to covered businesses. The requests may be made by a consumer, by a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or by a person authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf.
Right To Know About Collection, Disclosure or Sale of Personal Information
You have the right to request that a business disclose to you: (i) the categories and specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about you within the past 12 months, (ii) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, (iii) the business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling personal information, and (iv) the categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information.
If a business sells personal information, or discloses it for a business purpose, you also have the right to request that the business disclose the following with respect to the 12-month period preceding your request: (i) the categories of personal information that the business sold about you and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, and (ii) the categories of personal information that the business disclosed about you for a business purpose.
This type of request may be referred to as a “Request to Know.” Before we can honor a Request to Know, we need to verify that the person making it is the consumer whose personal information we have. Our method for verifying any particular request weighs information we receive as part of the request, the sensitivity of the consumer information at issue, and the risk of harm to the consumer from unauthorized disclosure.
Right to Deletion of Personal Information
You have the right to request that a business delete any personal information that the business has collected from you. This type of request may be referred to as a “Request to Delete.”
Before we can honor a Request to Delete, we need to verify that the person making the request is the consumer whose personal information we have. Our method for verifying any particular request weighs information we receive as part of the request, the sensitivity of the consumer information at issue, and the risk of harm to the consumer from unauthorized deletion.
We are not required to delete personal information if we still need it in order to complete the transaction for which the information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you (or that we reasonably anticipate based on our relationship with you), perform a contract with you, comply with a legal obligation, enable internal uses that are consistent with the context in which you provided the information, or accomplish any other objective recognized as an exception to the right to deletion under applicable law.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
You have the right to direct a business that sells personal information about you to third parties not to sell your personal information. This type of request may be referred to as a “Request to Opt-Out.” We are not required to honor a Request to Opt-Out if we have reason to believe it is fraudulent.
Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by a business for the exercise of your privacy rights under the CCPA.

In order to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, removal, theft, or disclosure, we use security measures appropriate to the nature of the information that we believe are reasonable in light of industry standards and our operations. Unfortunately, in our increasingly connected digital world, no one can guarantee perfect data security, and we cannot promise that our measures will always prevent a breach of personal information. Should we detect such a breach, we will promptly notify affected individuals, third parties and law enforcement agencies as required by applicable law.
We encourage you to help maximize security by applying your own personal security measures. For more information about what you can do to protect your data, please see the tips and resources offered by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/topics/privacy-identity-online-security and the California Attorney General at https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/consumer-privacy-resources.
We take reasonable steps to keep the personal information we possess accurate and to delete incorrect or unnecessary personal information. We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or otherwise communicated to you, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
Our online Services may contain links to third-party websites, products or services. If you use these links, you will leave our site. Such links do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation by us of the third party, the third-party website or the information contained therein, and we shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
We do not disclose, and have not disclosed, personal information to third-party companies for their direct marketing purposes.
Your web browser may offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting. If you turn that setting on, your browser sends a signal to websites indicating that you don’t want to be tracked over time or across third party sites. We don’t currently respond to these signals because there is not yet a common understanding of how to process them or a consensus on what “tracking” means.
Our Services are not intended for children (individuals under the age of 16). We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process personal information from children without consent. Visit the Federal Trade Commission website for more information about protecting children’s online privacy: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/privacy-and-security/children%27s-privacy.
We will update this Policy from time to time as necessary to reflect changes in applicable law, our privacy practices, or our Services. If we have your contact information, we will notify you of material changes, and you should periodically review this Policy to remain aware of our current practices.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Policy or our practices, or wish to exercise your rights regarding your personal information under applicable law, please contact us directly at [email protected].
