We will not collect additional categories of PII or use PII we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The PII that we collect about you and your use of our Website and Services is an important part of our business.  We respect and value you as a Website visitor and customer and will not jeopardize the free flow of information between us.  We will not sell the PII that we collect and store to other websites or businesses.  We may, however, disclose some of your PII to third parties for legitimate business purposes in the furtherance of our Services, as outlined immediately below:

Disclosure Regarding Service Providers: Dayton Freight may provide your PII or Deidentified Information to our service providers or third party companies, including logistics providers and other less-than-truckload carriers, to help provide services to you for certain business purposes. This PII and Deidentified Information is disclosed in order for them to provide services such as payment processing, tracking services, advertising services, marketing services, web analytics, data processing, IT services, customer support and other services. These service providers or third parties may have access to your PII and Deidentified Information to help us provide a particular service to you. They are bound by confidentiality obligations, contractually required to have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to protect your information, and will only have access to the information necessary to complete their respective service.

Disclosure Regarding Law Enforcement, Safety, and Legal Processes:  Dayton Freight may disclose account information and other PII to comply with a law, regulation, or governmental request; respond to a subpoena; prevent illegal conduct, fraud or abuse; or protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, our users or others.  We may exchange PII with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.  Dayton Freight will not under any circumstances sell, rent, share, or otherwise disclose PII for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure Regarding Sale or Acquisition of Assets: If we choose to sell or merge any part of our business, we may share and/or transfer customer information, which may include your PII, in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions.  Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, certain information, including your PII, could be transferred to or acquired by a third party.

INFORMATION SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Securing your PII is very important to Dayton Freight, and we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect it.  We use security measures, such as firewalls and encryption technology, consistent with industry standards to safeguard against loss, theft, unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification and/or disclosure.  The PII we collect is stored within databases that we control directly or through our service providers.  However, as “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet, and since no security system is impenetrable, Dayton Freight does not guarantee the absolute security of our databases, and we cannot guarantee the security of your PII transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.  Be advised that any information you choose to post on any message board, discussion group or other public posting area on our Website is available to anyone with Internet access.

If you create an account on the Website, you may be asked to select and use a password and provide and maintain accurate and current information about you and your organization.  You should protect your password by not disclosing it to any other person, limiting access to others of your computer or device and browser and by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.  If you want to change your password, you may do so by accessing your account settings and following the relevant prompts.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account.  You will notify Dayton Freight immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or password or any other breach of security.

CROSS BORDER DATA TRANSFER

To provide you with certain services, including tracking services related to your shipments, it may be necessary for us to share information related to your shipment, including your name and address, the destination name and address, and the type of shipment, with our service providers located outside of the United States.
