INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1.1 Identity and Contact Information
Name, work email address, phone number, job title or role, and organization affiliation, collected when your organization invites you to Lumost or when you contact us directly.
1.2 Company and Organization Records
Company name, business address, DOT/MC number and other carrier identification, entity type, and other business details provided during onboarding, vetting, or account setup.
1.3 Shipment and Load Records
Order and load details, including pickup and delivery locations, commodity and special instructions, dispatch and status information, rates and bids (where applicable to your role), and the history of actions taken on a load.
1.4 Location Data
For drivers, Lumost collects location data on a continuous basis, including while the app is running in the background or the device is locked, for the duration that a load is assigned to them. This allows shippers and carriers to see the real-time location of freight in transit, supports carrier compliance and safety monitoring, and helps verify accurate pickup and delivery timing.
Continuous background location tracking requires the driver's explicit, informed permission, granted through their device's operating system. Before that permission is requested, the app will show a clear, prominent explanation of what is being collected, why, and for how long, separate from the system permission prompt itself. A driver may decline or later revoke this permission through their device settings, though doing so will limit or disable real-time shipment-tracking features for the loads assigned to them.
Location data is retained for 1 year and is accessible to the shipper and carrier associated with a given load, and to authorized Lumost personnel, for the purposes described above. Shippers, brokerage staff, and internal users do not have their own location tracked by the Services.
1.5 Documents, Photos, and Signatures
Bills of lading, proof of delivery, certificates of insurance, load confirmations, and other documents you upload or capture through the Services, including photos taken with a device camera and signatures captured on a device.
1.6 Authentication Credentials
Your email address and password (or other sign-in credentials we may support in the future) used to access your account. Passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing and are never stored in plain text.
1.7 Payment and Financial Information
Depending on your role and your organization's configuration, this may include invoice and settlement records, payment status, and billing details. We collect bank account information (such as routing and account numbers) from users on either side of a transaction: from shippers, in order to withdraw (via ACH debit) the funds owed for freight charges, and from carriers and other payees, in order to deposit (via ACH credit) the funds owed to them. We use this information only to process these payments and to maintain the associated financial and audit records, and we restrict access to it to the systems and personnel that require it for that purpose.
As an alternative to ACH, some payments may be issued or received by paper check, in which case we collect the mailing address and other details needed to send or process that check.
1.8 Carrier Compliance and Vetting Information
For carriers, Lumost collects and monitors information relevant to safety and compliance, including DOT/MC numbers, safety ratings (BASIC scores), operating authority status, and insurance filing status. Some of this information is obtained not directly from you but from federal and third-party regulatory data sources (including FMCSA-derived datasets and commercial carrier-vetting services) in order to verify and monitor carrier eligibility on an ongoing basis.
1.9 Usage and Device Data
Information about how you interact with the Services, including IP address, browser or device type, operating system, app version, pages or screens visited, and general analytics and crash/error data used to keep the Services stable and secure.
