Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel and service providers who require access to perform their responsibilities.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you. Records we are required to keep by law are retained for at least the period the law requires, even if you ask us to delete them.

9. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, you may request that we:

Opting out of recruiting communications does not prevent BILATO HOLDING from sending necessary application, employment, safety, or dispatch communications where otherwise permitted.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, job boards, software platforms, applications, and services.

BILATO HOLDING is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, content, or policies of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

11. Safety Records and Consumer Reports

As a motor carrier, BILATO HOLDING is required to investigate the safety performance history of driver applicants and to maintain records demonstrating that each driver is qualified.

Where we obtain a motor vehicle record, a Pre-Employment Screening Program report, a background check, a drug and alcohol Clearinghouse query, or another consumer report about you, we will first provide the disclosure and obtain the written authorization that applicable law requires, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it applies.

If information in such a report contributes to a decision not to hire you, we will follow the notice procedures required by applicable law, including providing a copy of the report and a summary of your rights.

You may request that we correct inaccurate information in records we control. Records maintained by a consumer reporting agency or a government agency must be disputed with that agency directly.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our website and hiring process are intended for adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 18, we may take reasonable steps to delete it.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.
