Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-07-13 — v1, pending legal review
1. Who we are
Transporter operates a freight-matching marketplace for British Columbia. This Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information, consistent with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial rules.
2. What we store
Depending on how you use the platform, we may store:
- Account email and name (and profile image if provided via sign-in)
- Organization / carrier profile details (company name, routes, vehicles, bio)
- Optional verification fields you submit (e.g. NSC number, insurance coverage and expiry)
- Shipments, capacity offers, bids, awards, reviews, and dispute notes you create
- Technical logs needed to run and secure the service (e.g. session tokens)
3. Why we use it
We use this information to operate matching and bidding, show verification and insurance status to counterparties, communicate about your account, prevent abuse, and improve the product. We do not sell your personal information.
4. Who can see it
Other users see information you publish on listings and bids (for example cargo summary, route, bid amount, and carrier display name). Service providers that host our database, auth, or hosting (such as our cloud and email providers) process data only to provide those services to us.
5. Retention and deletion
We keep account and transaction records while your account is active and as needed for legitimate business and legal purposes. To request deletion of your personal information, email mckellardavey@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and delete or anonymize data we are not required to retain.
6. Security
We use industry-standard hosting and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use a strong unique password for linked identity providers.
7. Your rights
Subject to PIPEDA, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and withdraw consent where applicable (which may limit platform features). Contact us at the email above.
8. Changes
We may update this Policy. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
