Full details on each type of personal data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy.
Personal Data may be freely provided by the User or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically while using this Application.
Users are informed that data and content collection and processing of said data and the content provided is for the sole purpose of the execution of shipment requests made by shippers by finding available carriers. They are carried out in a proportionate manner for that purpose.
Chronotruck uses identification data for each shipper and each carrier and their users (family, name, first name, identifier, email address, VAT number, phone number, etc.), and also data relative to the execution of a shipment, including internal messages, geolocation of drivers who use its services and any other data that may be requested on the platform.
Chronotruck can also use any historical data transmitted by the user such as shipping plans, budgets or past shipments listings.
Information required when setting up an account, such as user's full name, email address, phone number, company name, address, and VAT number (because Chronotruck is a B2B service). This information is required to be able to register an account with Chronotruck
Chronotruck collects information about user activity in the application, information that is necessary to provide users with company services, including features intended to personalize the user experience.
In order to provide the necessary services, the “Chronotruck Chauffeur” mobile application may request certain authorizations allowing it to access the data of the user's device such as the approximate and precise location authorization (continuously and not continue), permission to use the camera, permission to access photo gallery and files, and permission to access contacts. This list can be modified at any time. The user can choose to grant these permissions and can revoke or modify them at any time. The purpose of each authorization is detailed below with the data collected.
We request permission for our “Chronotruck Driver” mobile app’s collection of precise location from a user’s device (whether their own device or otherwise) per the permission system used by their mobile operating system. If they have initially permitted the collection of this data, they can later disable it at any time by changing the location settings on their mobile device within the Chronotruck app or directly at phone’s settings.
The geolocation of the driver is only used in association with the identity of the driver:
when searching for the availability of a driver by Chronotruck;
during a transport in progress, to offer transport offers near the driver to complete his load;
during the follow-up of the mission which has been assigned to him: in the latter case, in addition to Chronotruck, the sender is the recipient of the data concerning this follow-up.
The geolocation of the driver is also available to the carrier who enrolled this driver on the Chronotruck platform, as long as the geolocation system is activated by the driver in the application.
This data is collected only when the application is activated, either in the foreground (the application is open and visible on the screen) or in the background (the application is open but not visible on the screen) on the smartphone according to user choice. The user can modify or deactivate access to geolocation to the Chronotruck application at any time.
Chronotruck requires through the present Privacy Policy that its users - shippers and carriers - carry out processes which respect the obligations imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and keeps an updated and exhaustive mapping of processes to ensure this point.
This permission is required to access the camera and take photos from the device. This authorization is optional but necessary in order for the user to provide proof of delivery, which is an essential part of shipment tracking. The user can choose to send these documents by e-mail.
Provides access to the user's photo gallery. This permission is also optional and serves the same purpose as permission to use the camera.
This permission is required to access contacts and profiles on the user's device. This authorization is optional and allows dispatchers to register drivers on the application. The user can choose to provide this information manually without granting access to the contacts on their phone.
The information collected by the company Chronotruck as part of the service is the subject of an automated data processing registered with the CNIL under the number 1867209 and of which the person in charge is Chronotruck.
The purpose of this treatment is to bring shippers and carriers into contact with each other in order to ensure that transport requests are made.
In order to provide the best service to its prospects and customers, Chronotruck keeps their data as long as their account remains active and then archives them for statistical purposes in an anonymised manner using an irreversible transformation process.
Chronotruck terminates the accounts of inactive users for a period of 36 months, and archives data related to them.
In accordance with Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, users have the right to access, rectify and oppose all their personal data by addressing an email and proving their identity to customers@chronotruck.com. The company undertakes to provide a response within a maximum of 7 working days after receipt of the said email.
Users may access their data or change via their member area at any time. It is reminded that Chronotruck acts in a BtoB framework and that its processing is in no way intended to use the data of its users in a personal context.
For example, the user who leaves his company can at any time request the deletion of his personal data entrusted to Chronotruck, in particular his first name, last name and e-mail, in particular if the latter shows his identity, always under reserve for the outcome of ongoing operations and according to Chronotruck's archiving obligations, in particular accounting.
Servers and data are hosted in a physically secure and SOC 1 type 2 secure and ISO 27001 certified data center.
No database storage on internal servers is carried out (including personal computers) to prevent massive theft of sensitive data (in the event of an office break-in).
Access to these servers is limited by SSH keys, available exclusively to employees with the authorizations to connect to them. Chronotruck's hosting service provider is PCI DSS-certified with no access granted to any public or tax administration, nor to any government or other third-parties.
Data relative to any shipment are only used for the purpose of the service provided by Chronotruck.
No data is sold or rented to any third party: all of the data is intended for internal use, for the sole purpose to carry out and improve the service.
Chronotruck may appeal to subcontractors for specific treatment activities, always in the context of the intended purpose described above.
As part of a shipment request booked by a carrier, personal data of shippers such as their name and first name (but not their email) or their telephone number and any personal information that could be given by the shipper in the comments area on the request will be sent to the carrier in order to ensure the execution of the shipment. Conversely the name and surname of the driver assigned by the carrier will be communicated to the shipper.
