At Ecademy Press, we treat your data with the same rigor you treat your logs: strictly compliant and secure. This Privacy Note explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our publication.

1. Information We Collect

Usage Data: Like most newsrooms, we collect standard server logs that include your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This helps us understand which compliance topics are most relevant to our audience.

Subscriber Data: If you sign up for “The Daily Dispatch” newsletter, we collect your email address. We do not require your name, company DOT number, or fleet size to subscribe. Minimizing data collection is our first line of defense.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data exclusively for:

• Delivering the briefings you requested.
• Improving the technical performance of the website.
• Analyzing aggregate trends (e.g., “50% of readers focused on the new HAZMAT article”).

We do not sell your data to third-party lead generators. We understand that trucking companies are often bombarded by insurance and factoring solicitations. We will not contribute to that noise.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to ensure the site functions correctly (load balancing, security). We may use analytics cookies to count visitors. You have the right to block these cookies via your browser settings without affecting the readability of our content.

4. External Links

Our Briefings frequently link to government websites (fmcsa.dot.gov) and third-party resources. Ecademy Press is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. When you leave our “Briefing Room,” we encourage you to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
