Thank you for using the Wheels Mobile Assistant Application (the “App”). We respect the privacy of all our users. This Privacy Policy explains what information Wheels, Inc. (“we” and sometimes “us”) collect about you and why, what we may do with that information. As you know, we work with a company (our “Client”) that leases vehicles from us and provides the vehicle to you to use while you perform your services as an independent contractor or employee, and potentially for authorized personal use. As part of the services we provide to the Client in managing the fleet of vehicles the Client leases from us (the “Services”) we provide the App to assist the Client and drivers of the fleet vehicles to make certain tasks more efficient.
In order to use the App you need to be authorized by the Client and you need to authorize us to use and collect information that identifies you personally (“Personal Information”).
Information We Use and Collect
Profile Information: In order to utilize a Client leased vehicle you have already provided Client with certain information about you and authorized Client to provide that information to us for purposes related to the use of the vehicle and our providing of Services. This includes Personal Information, such as your personal and business address, phone number, email address and other contact information, as well as information relating to your vehicle and the use of the vehicle (which can be connected with you). Once you become a user of the App, you may provide us with additional Personal Information and other information, including your mobile telephone number. This information will be combined and/or associated with the other profile information we have received from the Client.
Device Identifiers and Tracking Technologies: When you use the App we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers.” Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device or transmission technologies such as near field communication or low energy Bluetooth or iBeacon, which uniquely identify your mobile device and are used to support and improve the App and use of the App. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent by us to the device. Though a device identifier does not collect or share any Personal Information about you, it may be used in conjunction with Personal Information obtained from other sources to deliver content and analyze use of the App. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device. We may access, collect and/or store device identifiers and maintain them in your profile.
Vehicle Use Information: Through your use of the App, you permit the collection of, or otherwise input information regarding the use of your vehicle and those services that support the use of your vehicle. Additional information, such as other contacts, favorite locations or limited information about vehicle care transactions (e.g., maintenance and recall service; registration documents; and, business mileage or odometer readings) may be provided by you through the App. Such information will be available to you through the App as well as through our web site, and may be available to the Client as part of the Services. Other vehicle information and vehicle transaction information managed by us for the Client in connection with the Services will be visible to you in the App. The App also interfaces with databases related to the use of vehicles through use of motor vehicle registration data. Therefore, public records related to the motor vehicle registration number (e.g. traffic incidents) may be collected and associated with your Personal Information.
If your company has authorized the “AutoLog” GPS-assisted business mileage logging feature, you have the ability to opt in to use the feature to automatically record business mileage using location services built into your phone. Wheels does not store precise GPS route history, only the approximate stop locations and summary distances that are calculated by the application. The Wheels Mobile Assistant may show you a map of your driven routes, but that route information is local to the phone and is not sent to Wheels or your employer. You as a driver can choose to use the tallied business mileage to complete your mileage submission requirements or if on Wheels’ Reimbursement product, submit these trip summaries for reimbursement. You as a driver have the ability to export the data or delete the trip details stored on your phone. Other than geo-location data collected when the business mileage logging feature is activated, the App does not collect sensitive information.

Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls, data encryption, physical access controls to data centers, and information access authorization controls.
While we have implemented reasonable security measures please keep in mind that “perfect security” does not exist, and no transmission of information is guaranteed to be completely secure. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise data security. You acknowledge and agree to assume this risk when communicating with us and utilizing the App. Please remember that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of any user name and password you use in connection with the App. If you believe that your account or account information is being used in an unauthorized fashion, you must contact us immediately.

In addition, locally stored data will be deleted if you uninstall the app, and some locally stored data may be purged by the app on a rolling basis to manage storage size.
