With respect to drivers associated with motor carriers, such information may include but is not limited to your location, and delivery documents and files you upload to the Service as further described below.

We use this information for various purposes, including but not limited to, tracking the delivery of shipments by motor carriers, and to understanding usage patterns (e.g. the geographic regions in which a user most often picks up and drops off shipments, or travel through when making deliveries) to offer motor carriers shipments that are more likely to be relevant to them and their drivers. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address or phone number.

We may also receive information about your location through an electronic logging device which may be attached to your truck.
