1. Information We Collect When You Use the Bison Technologies Platform
Location Information. Bison Technologies is all about connecting Drivers and Operators. To do this, we need to know where you are. When you open Bison Technologies on your mobile device, we ask for permission from you to receive your location. If you do not agree to provide your location then we will log you out of the application. Once given permission to receive location information, we collect your precise or approximate location. We collect this data when the application is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen) of your mobile device. We use this data to enhance your use of our application, including to improve pick-up locations, enable safety features, and route guidance.
​
In order to provide and improve the features of the Bison Technologies application, your location information is necessary for things like matching Drivers with nearby Operator well sites, determining drop off sites and pick up locations for the materials being transported, and suggesting destinations and efficient routes based on previous trips. In addition to the reasons described above, Drivers’ location information and distance travelled may possibly necessary reviewing charges and insurance for Bison Technologies transportation services. If you give us permission through your device settings or Bison Technologies app, we may collect your location while the app is off to identify service updates in your area.
