Introduction
The Driverlink service provided by TransCore Link Logistics ("TransCore"
or "We") through this Driverlink.com facilitates the exchange of job search
information in the truck-driving industry between registered users of Driverlink.com
(our "Services"). Registered users of the Services are made up of student
drivers, licensed drivers and persons such as employers and recruiters seeking the
services of a licensed or student truck driver (collectively, the "User"
or "You"). Since TransCore's business is based on information management,
our commitment to protecting the privacy of your Personal Information is an integral
part of our corporate values.
"Personal Information" means information that can be used to identify you, such
as your name, age, gender, family and marital status, identification numbers (such
as a Social Insurance Number), financial and educational information and employment
history. However, Personal Information does not included business contact information
such as your title, business address or business telephone number.
