This Privacy Policy describes how DispatchIt, Inc. ("Dispatch," "we", "us" or "our") handles certain personal information that we collect as a controller through our digital properties that link to this Privacy Policy, including our website and mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), as well as through social media, our marketing activities, our live events and other activities described in this Privacy Policy. 

Dispatch may provide additional or supplemental privacy policies to individuals for specific products or services that we offer or for other purposes, at the time we collect personal information. For example, we provide California-based job applicants an Applicant Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that we process as a processor or service provider on behalf of our enterprise customers (such as businesses and other organizations) while providing the Dispatch services to them. Our use of information that we process on behalf of our enterprise customers may be governed by our agreements with such customers. If you have questions regarding your personal information that we process on behalf of an enterprise customer or would like to exercise any rights you may have with respect to such information, please direct your questions or requests to that enterprise customer.

Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Service, our communications and other online services, such as: 

• Device data, such as your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area. 
• Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times and duration of access, and whether you have opened our emails or clicked links within them. ‍
• Precise and approximate geolocation data when you authorize the Service to access your device’s location for delivery and shipping purposes. We collect drivers’ precise or approximate location data in connection with the Services, including to enable deliveries, to enable delivery tracking features, to prevent and detect fraud, and to satisfy legal requirements. We collect this data when the Service is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen) of a driver’s mobile device. 

Cookies and similar technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies: 

• Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place. 
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications. 
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 
• Session-replay technologies, such as those provided by LogRocket that employ software code to record users’ interactions with the Services in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions. The replays include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, scrolls and keystrokes/key touches during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement. You can learn more about LogRocket at https://logrocket.com/privacy.
