COLLECTION AND USE OF LOCATION DATA
Coyote tracks the location of its shipper customers’ loads to help ensure a smooth delivery. Coyote makes available different ways for carriers and drivers to choose to provide location updates on the Coyote loads they are moving.
- By telephone calls, text messages, or website entries.
- Through electronic logging devices.
- Through connection to the carrier’s transportation management system or otherwise by the carrier, to provide location data of their drivers when they are moving loads for Coyote.
- Through the use of the CoyoteGO app – Drivers who download the CoyoteGO app may agree to allow Coyote to track loads they are carrying. To agree, the driver must enable location services for the app in their phone’s system preferences. The app also enables drivers to search more efficiently for new loads that are available from Coyote. If a driver opts into the collection of location data, the app will provide Coyote regular updates on the driver’s location from the earlier of (i) the time the driver is dispatched to pick up the load to delivery confirmation or (ii) four (4) hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time, using location data from the driver’s mobile phone. The load must be marked as delivered in Coyote’s systems to stop the continued collection of location data. The driver may mark the load as delivered in the app, or the driver may call their carrier representative or the toll-free number 1-877-6-COYOTE to tell Coyote that the load has been delivered. If the load is not marked as delivered in Coyote’s systems, the app will continue to track location up to 48 hours after the scheduled delivery date. The driver may opt out of the collection of location data at any time through their phone’s systems preferences by disabling the app from accessing their phone’s location data. addition, as noted above, to stop the collection of a particular load’s location, the load must be marked as delivered in Coyote’s systems.
- Through the use of a third-party app – Drivers who download a third-party app may agree to allow Coyote to track loads they are carrying. To agree, the driver must enable location services for the app in their phone’s system preferences. If a driver opts into the collection of location data, the app will provide Coyote regular updates on the driver’s location, from a three-hour period leading up to the scheduled pick-up time, for the duration of the shipment, and, if the load has not been marked as delivered in Coyote’s systems, for up to 48 hours after the scheduled drop-off time. Coyote stops collecting location information from the app once the load is marked as delivered in Coyote’s systems. The driver may call their carrier representative or the toll-free number 1-877-6-COYOTE to tell Coyote that the load has been delivered. The driver may opt out of the collection of location data at any time through their phone’s systems preferences, by disabling the app from accessing their phone’s location data.
- Through load photos, provided by a driver through a Coyote or third-party app. Once downloaded by a driver, the app prompts the driver to take a photo of the trailer at load pick-up and then again at delivery. The photo’s metadata provides the load’s locations at those two points in time.
