Selling and Sharing (for Targeted Advertisement) of Personal Information to Third Parties

We sell very limited personal information, and only in the context of driver lists and driver recruiting. Outside of that context, we do not sell your personal information as that term is commonly understood (i.e., selling your personal information in exchange for money). However, we may disclose personal information to certain third parties under circumstances that may constitute a sale of that information under some laws. For example, disclosure of your personal information to another party who can use it for its own purposes can be deemed a sale under certain laws. In addition, some of our technology providers, such as our third-party data analytics partners like Google Analytics or Hotjar, may have access to your data for their own benefit, which may be considered a sale under certain state laws. Please see below the next chart for additional information. Finally, we use an integrated system, which may provide to our affiliated companies and subsidiaries of our parent company access to your personal information. This too may be considered a sale under certain state laws.

We may also share with third parties certain personal information we have collected from you for cross-context behavioral advertising (targeted advertising).

The chart below shows the categories of personal information we have sold or shared in the past 12 months, the categories of third parties to whom we have sold or shared personal information (as described above) and the business purpose for the sharing of the personal information. Please note that we may not disclose all of the personal information regarding you to these entities.

For California residents seeking to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information, please use the link provided above.

For all other requests, you may submit a request by emailing your request to privacypolicy@schneider.com or contacting us by phone at 1-800-845-7786.

To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with the requests to know, requests to delete and/ or the requests to correct. To verify your identity, we may require you to provide certain information we are likely to already have on-file about you based on the type of relationship you have with us. Our verification procedure may differ depending on whether you have an account with us or not and the request you are making.

The following generally describes the verification processes we use:

• Password Protected Accounts. If you have a password-protected account with us, we may use existing authentication practices to verify your identity but will require re-authentication before disclosing, correcting or deleting data. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity relating to your account, we will require further verification (as described below) before complying with a request to know or delete.

• Verification for Non-Accountholders. If you do not have, or cannot access, a password-protected account with us, we will generally verify your identity as follows:
  • For requests to know categories of personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching at least two data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us.
  • For requests to know specific pieces of personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty by matching at least three data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us. We will also require a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that the person requesting the information is the person whose information is the subject of the request or that person’s authorized representative. We will maintain all signed declarations as part of our records.
  • For requests to correct or delete personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree or a reasonably high degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm posed by unauthorized deletion. We will act in good faith when determining the appropriate standard to apply.

If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity, we will state so in response, including an explanation of why we have no reasonable method to verify your identity.

We may also require a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that the person requesting the information is the person whose information is the subject of the request or that person’s authorized representative.

If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, delete or correct, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request. We may also require you to do either of the following: (a) verify your own identity directly with us; or (b) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request. For example, if you ask us to delete personal information that we are obligated to keep to comply with applicable law we may not be able to fulfill some or all of your request. We may also decline to grant your request where our use of your personal information serves a legitimate purpose such as for security purposes. Your request may also be denied if it compromises the privacy of others, is overly repetitive or extremely burdensome to fulfill.

We will respond to valid requests to know, requests to delete and / or delete no later than 45 calendar days. If we cannot verify your request within 45 days, we may deny your request.

9. Nevada Privacy Notice.

Nevada law provides that Nevada residents may opt-out of the “sale” of “covered information” to third parties, including but not limited to name, address, social security number, and online service activity. Our uses of your personal information are not sales under Nevada law, so no opt-out right applies.
