Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 9, 2024

The Scheduling Standards Consortium (the “Consortium”), which as of the date above consists of J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. and Uber Freight LLC, takes your privacy seriously, so we want you to know how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information.

This Privacy Notice Tells You:

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information that we collect about you or that you submit to us through this website, www.FreightAPIs.org (the “Site”). California and Texas consumers should also refer to the Privacy Notice for Residents of California and Texas.

For all non-U.S. users of, or visitors to, the Site, any information you provide, including any personal information, will be transferred to and processed by, a computer server located within the United States. Your personal information will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Notice and U.S. law.

The Information We Collect About You

Information You Provide to Us or Authorize Us to Receive

We collect information that you voluntarily share with us or permit us to receive. For example, the information we collect from you through the submission form on the Site includes:

  • Your first and last name
  • Your company name and description
  • Your work email address

Surveys

From time to time, our Site may request information in order for you to participate in surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary; you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore whether to disclose the requested information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address) and demographic information (such as zip code or age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this Site and the Consortium’s services. The Consortium may use third-party services to administer surveys through the Site or through links to external websites or applications. Your participation in surveys administered by third parties is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such third parties.

Information We Collect Through Technology

We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. For example, when you visit the Site, we may collect your domain name, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser version, operating system, and the website you passed through to reach our Site. In addition, our Site may gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Site and its areas, activity levels, most used browsers, and other useful statistics similar to the television ratings which tell how many people tuned into a program.

Do We Use Cookies on Our Site?

Yes. Cookies, tags, and related tracking technologies (“Cookies”) are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, your device, or the page you are viewing that enables the Site to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use Cookies to help us understand and save your preferences for future visits to the Site. For example, when you return to the Site after prior visits, Cookies provide information to the Site so that it will immediately recognize you as a return visitor, which can improve your browsing experience and save you time when returning to the Site or, if applicable, specific pages on our Site. We may also rely on Cookies from third-party advertising providers to better understand how you interact with the Site and other websites you may visit, in order to present advertising that may be of interest to you (also known as interest-based advertising).

Depending on the browser you use, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time certain Cookies are used, or you can choose to turn off certain Cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Like other websites, if you turn off certain Cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.

In addition, please also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance, Network Advertising Initiative, and Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada to learn more about Cookies used for interest-based advertising by third parties, and the choices you have to opt out of such Cookies.

Google Analytics and Other Third Parties

We may use Cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding visitors to the Site. These Cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer you a better experience when you visit the Site. Other Google advertising features we may use include Dynamic Remarketing, DoubleClick, and AdWords Conversion. You can obtain more information about Google Analytics here: https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html?hl=en-GB. For information about how to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, visit https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en&ref_topic=2919631.

Device Identification

We may collect your unique device identification and location, advertising identifier, user identification, and other persistent identifiers (collectively, “Device ID”) to evaluate and improve software functionality, for the Consortium’s collective business purposes (including but not limited to business analytics, sales, marketing, and recruiting), and in certain cases, to serve advertising.

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal information. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT browser settings. We will not collect personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services, regardless of whether you choose the DNT browser preference. However, we may use trusted third-party tools to analyze website usage, monitor performance, and prevent fraud. These tools may collect personal information about you or your online activities at this Site or across different sites over time by using Cookies or by any other means.

We may also use aggregated data to improve business efficiencies, our Site, and related services to you.

Links to and Content from Other Websites or Media

The Site may include links to or imbedded videos from sites or applications operated by third parties such as YouTube or Vimeo (collectively, “Third-Party Sites”). We do not control any Third-Party Sites, and we are not responsible for any information they may collect. The information collection practices of a Third-Party Site are governed by that site’s privacy policy. It is your choice to enter any Third-Party Site. We recommend that you read the privacy policy of any Third-Party site that you choose to visit from content imbedded in the Site.

How We Use the Information We Collect About You

We use the information we collect about you to serve you and improve your experience at the Site. Some examples include the following:

  • Responding to your requests
  • Conducting research and analysis
  • Marketing and advertising products and services
  • Conducting surveys
  • Continuously evaluating and improving our online user experience
  • We may also use aggregated data to improve business efficiencies, our Site, and related services to you.

How We May Share Information About You

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. The following are some of the ways we may share your information:

  • Consortium Members: We will share your personal information among the voting members of the Consortium.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers under contract with us to help us provide services to you. We may, for example, retain a third party to help us determine what marketing information you might find useful. We may also disclose your personal information to an attorney in the process of obtaining legal advice. We require any such third-party service providers to provide safeguards for your personal information similar to the ones that we provide.
  • Required Disclosures: We may be required to share personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, civil discovery request, other legal process, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Legal Compliance and Protections: We may disclose personal information when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Consortium, our users, employees of Consortium members, or others. This may include exchanging personal information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • Corporate Transactions: We may disclose your personal information to prospective purchasers of any interest in the Consortium members or their assets.

How We Protect the Information We Collect

The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use. For example, we use 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the data collection form on the Site. In addition, access to your personal information is restricted in our offices. Only Consortium member employees who need the personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to personal information. All Consortium member employees with access to personal information are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. After a new policy is added, these employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to enhance protection for our users’ personal information. In addition, the servers that we use to store personal information are kept in a secure, restricted access area.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our Site, products, and services are all directed to people who are over the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you are not authorized to use this Site.
