We built iDispatch for the people who run real transportation operations, and we know that trust is everything. This policy is written in plain language so you can quickly understand what we do with your data and what control you have over it. If anything is unclear, we want to hear about it.
Overview
iDispatch Solutions (“iDispatch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides software and human-assisted dispatch services for transportation operators. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
This policy covers our marketing website at idispatchsolutions.com, the iDispatch web application, APIs, integrations with third-party booking platforms, and any related services (together, the “Services”).
Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account data: name, email, phone number, password, company, role, and profile image.
- Organization data: company name, business type, address, logo, branding, contact details, and subscription tier.
- Operational data: trip records, driver assignments, vehicle information, routes, passenger details entered by dispatchers, fare breakdowns, and internal notes.
- Support data: tickets, messages, attachments, and any information you share when contacting us.
- Payment data: billing contact information (payment card details are handled by our payment processor and never stored on our servers).
Information collected automatically
- Device and log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps.
- Usage data: feature interactions, trip status transitions, sync activity, and audit events.
- Location data: approximate location derived from IP address and, where enabled by dispatchers, driver GPS coordinates used to power live dispatch.
- Cookies and similar technologies: described in our cookie banner and Section 7 below.
Information from third parties
When you connect a booking platform (for example a reservation system or aggregator), we receive trip data, customer details, and status updates from that platform through its API. We may also receive authentication data from single sign-on providers such as Google when you choose to sign in with them.
How we use information
We process information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Services, including live dispatch, trip assignment, and platform integrations.
- Authenticate users, manage sessions, and secure accounts.
- Send transactional emails such as verification codes, password resets, invitations, SLA warnings, and sync error alerts.
- Deliver customer support and respond to requests.
- Monitor performance, detect abuse, and prevent fraud or unauthorized access.
- Comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights and those of our users.
- With your consent, send marketing communications and measure their effectiveness.
Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:
- Contract: to provide the Services you or your organization have signed up for.
- Legitimate interests: to secure the Services, prevent abuse, analyze usage, and improve our platform, balanced against your rights and expectations.
- Consent: for non-essential cookies, direct marketing, and other purposes where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation: to comply with laws and regulatory requirements.
Data retention
We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and for the period necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Typical retention periods:
- Account and organization records: life of the account plus up to 2 years.
- Operational trip, driver, and audit data: up to 7 years (to meet common regulatory and insurance requirements in the transportation industry).
- Support tickets: 3 years after closure.
- Authentication logs: up to 12 months.
- Marketing preferences: until you opt out.
When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. Backups are purged on a rolling schedule.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Delete personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Request a portable copy of your data in a commonly used format.
- Withdraw consent you have given, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know the categories of personal information collected, the right to delete, the right to correct, and the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information. iDispatch does not sell personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@idispatchsolutions.com. If your data is processed on behalf of a customer, we will forward your request to them.
Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, audit logs, and regular security reviews. Our platform is built on SOC 2-aligned infrastructure.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable authorities as required by law.
International data transfers
iDispatch is headquartered in the United States and processes personal data there and in other regions where our sub-processors operate. When we transfer personal data outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or equivalent mechanisms.
Children's privacy
The Services are designed for business use by transportation companies and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you by email or in-app notice before the changes take effect.
