This Privacy Policy outlines the data and privacy practices of Car Haul Direct Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively, “Car Haul Direct Inc.”) for information collected and processed through this website, its content, and any other associated websites, features, or services displaying or referencing this policy (collectively, the “Site”). References to “we,” “our,” or “us” pertain to Car Haul Direct Inc. and its affiliates. “You,” “your,” “visitor,” or “user” refer to the individual accessing the Site and/or utilizing our services.
Car Haul Direct Inc. adheres to all applicable federal laws and regulations governing brokerage operations, including the standards set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Car Haul Direct Inc. is fully registered as a broker with FMCSA and holds a valid brokerage license (MC Number: 1685969).
Information regarding customers and shipments is shared exclusively with carriers meeting FMCSA compliance requirements, including valid licensing and insurance coverage.
Carriers are regularly vetted through FMCSA’s database to confirm compliance with safety standards, including current insurance policies and active licensing status.
We comply with FMCSA’s reporting and recordkeeping requirements by maintaining contracts and transaction records for the legally mandated retention period (typically three years).
All information managed under FMCSA guidelines is safeguarded using industry best practices in cybersecurity. We ensure client and carrier data is used strictly to meet operational obligations and is not disclosed to third parties without proper authorization or legal justification.

By accessing and using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy and the Car Haul Direct Inc. Terms and Conditions.
Personal, Sensitive, and Non-Personal Data Collected by Car Haul Direct Inc.
Car Haul Direct Inc. collects data from users of the Site in various ways: directly from users, automatically during site visits, and occasionally from third parties. This data may include “personal data” or “personal information” as defined by applicable laws, and in some cases, it may qualify as “sensitive data.”
Additionally, we may classify other types of information, such as IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal data” where required by law. Certain personal data will also be treated as “sensitive data” in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
We may de-identify or pseudonymize personal data to render it non-personal. This process might involve aggregation (e.g., combining it with data from other individuals) or converting it into a code, often using a method known as “hashing.” Other techniques might also be used to remove characteristics that could identify you personally. Once de-identified, we use this data without attempting to re-identify it unless expressly permitted by law, such as for evaluating the effectiveness of de-identification processes under legal standards.
De-identified or pseudonymized data will be managed as non-personal to the fullest extent permitted by law. If non-personal data is combined with personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
