Uproad has appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so and within the timeframe required by law.

Access to Account

For ease of access to your account, you will be remembered on your device until you log out. This enables you direct account access and to use the Uproad service without requiring reentry of any password or other user identification when you revisit the Application(s).

If you share or otherwise allow others to have access to your account, they will be able to see your information (including in some cases personal information) such as your toll history, vehicle, and account information (including your email address or other information in the "Profile" area of our Application(s)).

Your Information and Rights

You can request access to your personal information or correct or update out-of-date or inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

You can most easily do this by visiting the "Account" portion of our website, where you can access and update a broad range of information about your account, including your contact information and your payment information. You must be signed in to access the "Account" section. You may also request that we delete personal information that we hold about you.

Right of Erasure

We retain transaction data for up to 7 years for reconciliation purposes, accounting purposes, future due diligence, potential disputes from consumers and potential audits from our partner toll agencies.

Toll transaction records include license plate, toll point, and transponder information, if applicable. Payment transaction records include credit/debit card type and the last four digits of the credit/debit card or PayPal and Venmo user names.

All other account data and personal information are eligible for erasure upon user request. Account data that is not subject to the ten-year retention requirement is not deleted immediately upon user deactivation so that such data is available for customer service requests that may be received after the account is deactivated and to charge pending toll transactions that may still be received by toll agencies with a delay of up to thirty days after the request for erasure.

To make requests, or if you have any other questions regarding our privacy practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer by email or phone at 877-8UPROAD (877-887-7623). We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Please also see the "Your Choices" section of this Privacy Statement for additional choices regarding your information.

We may reject requests that are unreasonable or not required by law, including those that would be extremely impractical, could require disproportionate technical effort, or could expose us to operational risks. We may retain information as required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including to honor your choices, for our billing or records purposes and to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. We take reasonable measures to destroy or de-identify personal information in a secure manner when it is no longer required.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, logical, physical and managerial measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and modification. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks of processing your personal information. Unfortunately, no measures can be guaranteed to provide 100% security. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Other Websites, Platforms, and Applications

The Uproad service may be provided through and/or utilize features operated by third party platforms or contain links to sites operated by third parties whose policies regarding the handling of information may differ from ours. For example, you may be able to access the Uproad service through car OEM platforms and several other Internet-connected devices. These platforms have separate and independent privacy or data policies, privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. In addition, you may encounter third-party applications that interact with the Uproad service.

By using our service, you are also agreeing to the privacy policy in place for each toll agency partner:

The Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA).

Children

You must be 16 years of age or older to subscribe to the Uproad service. In certain jurisdictions, the age of majority may be older or younger than 16, in which case, you must satisfy that age to become a member.

Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies

We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Uproad Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Uproad or others on Uproad's behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.

Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.

We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some Uproad pages use cookies, sent by Uproad or its third-party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.

Some Uproad Web sites also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across Uproad's Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.

If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. Cookies can be used to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. Some Uproad pages use cookies so that we can better serve you when you return to our site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. Please consult your browser for specific information on the browser settings.

Changes to This Privacy Statement

We will update this Privacy Statement from time to time in response to changing legal, regulatory or operational requirements. We will provide notice of any such changes (including when they will take effect) in accordance with the law. Your continued use of the Uproad service after any such updates take effect will constitute acknowledgment and (as applicable) acceptance of those changes. If you do not wish to acknowledge or accept any updates to this Privacy Statement, you may cancel your use of the Uproad service. To see when this Privacy Statement was last updated, please see the "Last Updated" section below.
