Effective date: August 23, 2024

Introduction 

This privacy policy describes how we collect, use and disclose personal data when users use : 

  • The nsimtech.com website 

  • The Rasters.io web portal (https://app.rasters.io), a web-based vehicle operations management application available to users and/or organizations that have agreed to the solution's "Terms of Use". This software platform works with telemetry equipment installed on the customer's vehicle, as well as with the Rasters.Navigation mobile application installed inside vehicles. The platform manages information on vehicles, routes and drivers. 

  • The Rasters.Navigation mobile application, a navigation application available on Android for drivers of customer vehicles. 


This Privacy Policy operates in conjunction with our General Terms of Use (see document NS1.91 - General Terms of Use_Rasters.io) and does not apply to sites operated by third parties that may be referred to from links on our sites. 

Consent

Users agree that by using our site, they consent to: 

1- the conditions set out in this privacy policy and 

2- the collection, use and retention of the data listed in this policy. 

Information provided to the Rasters.io solution

Rasters.io

Information collected in Rasters.io comes either from a user setting up their account, from a representative of your organization entering information about you, from a vehicle connected to Rasters.io and from the Rasters.Navigation mobile application.  

In order to use Rasters.io, you or a representative of your employer must provide certain mandatory information such as name and e-mail address. Other information, such as address, telephone number and employer's name, may be provided on an optional basis.  

Rasters.io also collects information about vehicles and vehicle drivers, such as GPS position, driver name and vehicle engine data.  

When you visit and use our site, we may also automatically collect and store the following information:  

IP address, Location, Hardware and software details, links a user clicks while using the site. 

Rasters.Navigation 

The navigation application is connected to Rasters.io and sends location information (GPS). 

Vehicle data 

The Rasters.io solution is often used with telemetry equipment installed in vehicles on the vehicle's diagnostic port (ODBII or J1939). Data is temporarily stored on the equipment and sent to Rasters.io via a secure wireless telecommunication service. The data is then securely stored in encrypted databases. Information sent includes, but is not limited to, VIN, vehicle name, odometer, speed, distance, location, RPM, engine diagnostic data (check engine), spreader controller, acceleration, fuel consumption. 

Driving ELD 

If the organization uses the driving hours module, a third-party mobile application is used by the driver. This application (Ingtech's Driving) is accredited in Canada and the USA, and requires the driver's personal information, such as driver's license number, driving class and license expiry date. In this case, this information is entered into Rasters.io.
