Privacy Policy
American Trucking Group USA, LLC (“American Trucking,” “us,” “we”) operates several websites (“Our Sites”). By using Our Sites, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating Our Sites. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to make you aware of how we collect, use, and disclose the information we gather from our users on Our Sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through Our Sites and not to information we collect offline. By using this website, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any term in this Privacy Policy, please do not use this site or submit any personally identifiable information.
Personal Information. Certain users will choose to interact with Our Sites in ways that require us to gather certain Personal Information, such as your name, date of birth, physical address, and email address, among other things. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction and is always at the discretion of the user. American Trucking only collects information we deem as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the user’s interaction with Our Sites. American Trucking does not disclose Personal Information other than as described below. Keep in mind that each user may refuse to supply Personal Information, with the caveat that it may prevent us from providing the service requested by the user. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as name, postal address, mobile and wired telephone numbers and e-mail address. Personal information also includes demographic information, location information (e.g., zip code, fine location information), and other information about a specific individual, once it is associated with personal information. However, personal information does NOT include information that we collect but do not associate with you and your personal.
Automatic Gathering of Information by Third Parties. When you visit our website, third parties can collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites pertaining to your visit to, or use of, our and other Websites.
Do-Not-Track Requests. As of January 1, 2014, California residents visiting our website may request that we not automatically gather and track information pertaining to their online browsing movements across the Internet. Such requests are typically made through Web browser settings that control signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party Websites or online services. American Trucking does currently not honor these requests/settings.
How Your Personal Information Is Used. We use your personal information to connect you with third parties who will provide you with the services that you have requested and perform functions as described to you at the time of collection. When you submit your Personal Information to us, we use that information to contact you and/or allow a third-party affiliate to contact you via email, telephone, postal mail and mobile device for a limited period even if the telephone number you submitted appears on any state and/or federal Do Not Call list, because your inquiry creates an exception to state and/or federal Do Not Call laws. We also use your Personal Information to respond to your inquiries and/or requests, or to send you important information regarding Our Sites. Additionally, this Personal Information can be used to manage your customer relationship and provide you with customer support.
Occasionally, we may send you surveys and marketing communications that we believe may be of interest to you. We use your Personal Information to personalize your experience on the Site and our other websites by presenting advertising/display content and services tailored to you. From time to time, we will also present you with advertisements tailored to you on certain third-party websites.
The use of that information may also allow you to participate in sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions and to administer these activities. Please note that some of these activities have additional rules, which could contain additional information about how we use and disclose your Personal Information, so we suggest that you read these rules carefully.
Finally, we use your Personal Information for certain business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, developing new products, enhancing our website, improving our services, identifying usage trends, and determining and improving the effectiveness of our promotional and advertising campaigns.
How Personal Information is Disclosed. Your Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. More specifically, we disclose that information to those who provide services such as contact information verification, customer service, data analysis, IT services, marketing and promotional services, email delivery services, and other similar services in order to enable them to provide those services. If you request information from third parties so that they can provide you with information about their services, we will provide to them your contact information. We are not responsible or liable for third parties’ use of your personal information. Other times, we may provide that information to third-party sponsors of sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions. In addition, by submitting your Personal Information, you grant us consent to use this information for the purpose of providing it to potential employers and other industry-related organizations. You are further consenting to the receipt of emails, text messages and phone calls via automated dialing system from such persons or entities or their respective representatives.
Finally, we may also disclose your personal information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
How We Collect, Use, and Disclose Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is any information that does not reveal your specific identity, like which browser you use, your language preference, and which operating system you use.

Your IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits Our Sites, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
Our Sites may include social media features from third party social media websites.

These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
