PRIVACY POLICY
YardOps, LLC ("YardOps," "we," "us," or "our") operates the YardOps website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when individuals visit getyardops.com, request information or a demonstration, communicate with us, create or use a YardOps account, or otherwise interact with the Services.
YardOps is primarily a business-to-business platform. In many cases, an individual uses YardOps on behalf of an employer, customer, or other organization. When an organization provides information to YardOps through its account, that organization may control that information and may have its own privacy obligations.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect the following categories of information.

- messages, questions, support requests, and other communications
- information submitted through a Request Demo form
- account and profile information
When you request a demo, we may also collect information about how you reached the request page, such as referring page information and campaign parameters included in the URL.
B. YardOps Account and Platform Information
When an organization uses the YardOps platform, the Services may process information entered, uploaded, generated, or maintained through that organization's account, including:
- Asset IDs

Some of this information may constitute personal information if it identifies or relates to an individual.
C. Location Information
Certain YardOps features are designed to record the location of physical assets.
When an authorized user uses a feature that requests device location, YardOps may receive latitude, longitude, yard assignment, timestamp, and related location information from the user's device.
Location information is used to support asset-location, yard-management, mapping, movement-history, and related operational functionality.
YardOps is not represented as a continuous GPS or telematics tracking service.
Users may control device-level location permissions through their browser or device settings, although disabling location access may limit certain YardOps functionality.
D. Technical and Usage Information
When individuals access our website or Services, our systems and service providers may automatically receive technical information such as:
- IP address

- timestamps
- diagnostic information
- server and application logs
- security events
- general usage information
We may use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, maintain, and improve the Services.
2. CUSTOMER-CONTROLLED INFORMATION
Organizations using YardOps determine much of the information that they enter into the platform.
Where YardOps processes personal information on behalf of a customer organization, the customer is generally responsible for determining why that information is collected and for providing any notices, permissions, or lawful basis required for its collection and use.
If you have a privacy question concerning information that your employer or another YardOps customer entered into the platform, you may need to contact that organization directly.
We will reasonably assist customers with privacy-related requests where appropriate and required by applicable law or contract.

YardOps also relies on reputable infrastructure and service providers that maintain their own security controls.
However, no Internet transmission, storage system, or software service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Customers and users are responsible for protecting their account credentials, controlling access to their devices, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized account access.
