On May 22, 2026, substantially all of the assets of TrueNorth Technologies Inc. were acquired by BasicBlock, Inc. (“BasicBlock”). In light of the acquisition, BasicBlock (also referred to herein as “TrueNorth”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) has prepared this Privacy Policy to explain (1) what personal information we collect, (2) how we use and share that information, and (3) your choices concerning our privacy and information practices.
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the TrueNorth Terms of Service, available at https://truenorthfleet.com/termsandconditions (the “Terms”). The Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy and made a part hereof.
Applicability of this Privacy Policy
We provide a software platform for trucking businesses and freight brokers (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we collect in connection with the Services, our mobile applications, our website(s), including https://www.truenorth.com/ and https://www.truenorthfleet.com, and products and/or services that link to this Privacy Policy.
In connection with providing the Services, we may receive, use and share personal information from trucking businesses (including their owners, drivers, managers and employees) and freight brokers (including their owners, managers and employees) as described in this Privacy Policy.
If you are a customer of TrueNorth, this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that we process on your behalf (if any) as your service provider. Such personal information shall instead be governed by the terms and conditions of the separate customer agreement or terms of service that you have agreed to with TrueNorth. In addition, our Services are designed for businesses and are not intended for personal, family, or household use. Accordingly, we treat all personal info covered by this Privacy Policy as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity.

Brokers using TrueNorth can see your last known city and state and when it was recorded. Service providers that help us run theServices, such as Google Maps Platform, process it on our behalf. If your company connects an ELD or telematics provider, we may also receive your vehicles' locations from that provider. We do not sell your location information.
