We have put in place security systems designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information you provide to us.

In addition, in particular circumstances, when you submit certain information to us through this Site, we may agree in connection with such information to provide additional protections to, and restrictions upon our use of, your personal information. For example, if you apply to qualify to join our network as an independent Agent, BCO or approved broker carrier, the application materials may make additional commitments to you as set forth in such materials.

Although we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of information, including but not limited to personal information provided by you, is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.
