This policy explains what information GroundCheck collects when you visit this site or contact us, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
Who we are. GroundCheck is a carrier-vetting service operated by [ LEGAL ENTITY NAME ] ("GroundCheck," "we," "us," or "our"). This site, www.groundcheckfmcsa.com, is our informational and demonstration site. You can reach us at [ CONTACT EMAIL ].
When you submit our contact or access-request form, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, work email, company, role, and the MC or DOT number you enter. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to include.
Like most sites, our hosting and infrastructure providers automatically log standard technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of the request. We use this to operate the site, keep it secure, and understand aggregate usage.
We keep tracking to a minimum. This site does not set advertising cookies. We may use strictly necessary storage (for example, remembering that you have dismissed an intro screen) and privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics. Where consent is required by law, we will ask for it before setting non-essential cookies.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the details you submit for third-party advertising.
We share information only as needed to run the business:
GroundCheck's service draws on public and licensed records about motor carriers, including data published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). That information concerns businesses and their operating authority, not visitors to this site. Any carrier data shown in demos or examples on this site is illustrative unless clearly stated otherwise.
We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to you and to run our business relationship, and thereafter only as long as necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may ask us to delete your information as described below.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information — including access controls and encrypted transport. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and certain other states have specific rights (including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them); because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no opt-out to exercise for that purpose. To make a request, contact us at [ CONTACT EMAIL ]. We will verify and respond as required by applicable law.
We operate this site from the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, your information will be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
This site and service are intended for businesses and professionals. It is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
