5. SMS messaging and mobile privacy
SMS privacy commitment: No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold, rented, or shared with any third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
If you separately opt in to U Z Freight Inc text messages, we may use your mobile number to send the communications described at the point of consent, such as driver recruitment updates, application follow-ups, interview scheduling, employment opportunity notices, or requested service updates. We may use service providers solely to deliver and administer these messages on our behalf; those providers are not authorized to use your SMS consent information for their independent marketing.
Our texting programs may send recurring messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out of further messages from the program or reply HELP for help. You may also contact us at 877-290-3080 or admin@uzfreight.com.
SMS opt-in is voluntary and is not a condition of submitting a driver application, being considered for a position, or requesting services. Consent to messages from U Z Freight Inc does not grant other companies permission to send you messages. We may retain a record of how and when consent was provided, the wording presented, and any withdrawal of consent.
Additional program details are available in our SMS Terms and Conditions.
7. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including recruiting and business operations, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Certain driver or employment-related records may be subject to specific retention obligations. When appropriate, we delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of information.
8. Information security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet transmission, website, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain, subject to applicable laws and recordkeeping requirements. You may also request changes to your communication preferences. To stop SMS messages, reply STOP to the message you receive. Requests can be sent to admin@uzfreight.com.

Our website may link to third-party websites or application platforms. Their information practices are governed by their own terms and policies. Please review those policies before submitting information directly through a third-party service.
