At Mahyu, we connect shippers and transporters in order to provide a transparent and efficient way of delivering goods and cargoes from one point to another. In this privacy policy, we tell you what information we receive from Mahyu shippers and transporters, and how we use it to connect shippers with transporters and continue to improve our services.
Mahyu collects information about you when you use Mahyu website(s) and mobile applications, and through other interactions and communications (collectively, the “Services”) you have with us in connection with the Services. This includes collection at the time you download the Mahyu app, use the Mahyu website, create or register your Mahyu app account, and when you otherwise use the Services.
Scope and Application
This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to any users of the Services (collectively “Users,” or individually “you”), including freight shippers, facility operators, carriers, transporters, dispatchers, transporters, and private drivers. A “Transporter”, as used in this Policy, means a motor carrier.

If you (as a transporter) grant the Mahyu app permission to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (‘platform’), we will collect the precise location of your device. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address or phone number. We may also receive information about your location from third parties.

Important Information About Platform Permissions
Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. These platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the Mahyu app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the Mahyu app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.
The permissions requested by the Mahyu app include permission to collect your location data for the purposes described above. This permission will enable Mahyu to collect your location data, even when the app is not running in the foreground or background of your device. You will not be able to use the Mahyu app if you do not permit location data collection.
Please note that turning off the app may not result in disabling Mahyu’s ability to collect your location data.
To disable the Mahyu app’s ability to collect your location data:
On iOS: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Mahyu → choose “Never”
On Android: Settings → Apps → Mahyu → scroll to “Permission” → toggle “Location”
Information We Collect From Other Sources
We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through the Services. For example: If you are a transporter, we may receive information about you from your mobile carrier or from third parties. This includes information about your location, or driver rating or similar ratings of the services that you provide for such Users through the Mahyu app.

We may use the information we collect about you to: Provide, maintain, and improve the Services, including, for example, to facilitate payments, send receipts, provide products and services (and send related information), develop new features, provide customer support, develop safety features, authenticate Users, and send product updates and administrative messages.
