3. Candidate Confidentiality and Sharing of Information

We understand that confidentiality is particularly important for freight professionals exploring career or brokerage opportunities.

Purple Squirrel does not sell your personal information.

We may share candidate or professional information with brokerage partners, prospective employers, service providers, or other organizations when reasonably necessary to evaluate or facilitate an opportunity.

When appropriate, Purple Squirrel may initially present a candidate or opportunity using limited or anonymized information before identifying the individual.

We make reasonable efforts to handle sensitive candidate and business information discreetly. However, candidates should avoid providing confidential customer information, proprietary shipper data, trade secrets, passwords, or information they are contractually prohibited from disclosing.

Participation in Purple Squirrel's network does not guarantee placement, employment, an independent contractor relationship, a brokerage agreement, or any particular compensation arrangement.

4. Information About Books of Business and Production

As part of our freight talent advocacy and matching services, we may request information concerning a freight professional's book of business, including approximate revenue, gross profit, margins, shipment volume, freight types, customer concentration, or related production information.

This information is used to evaluate potential brokerage partnerships and opportunities.

Unless reasonably necessary for an opportunity and appropriately authorized, Purple Squirrel does not require candidates to provide confidential shipper lists, customer contracts, passwords, proprietary pricing, or trade secrets.

5. Brokerage and Client Information

We may also collect information from freight brokerages, freight forwarders, logistics companies, and other business partners, including contact information, agent program details, compensation structures, operational capabilities, technology, requirements, and other information relevant to matching freight talent with potential opportunities.

We use this information to operate and improve our professional network and services.

6. Service Providers and Third Parties

Purple Squirrel may use third-party service providers to operate our business, including providers of:

  • Website hosting
  • Customer relationship management (CRM)
  • Email and communications
  • Scheduling and video conferencing
  • Analytics
  • Cloud storage
  • Marketing and professional networking tools
  • Automation and business software

These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Purple Squirrel, our clients, candidates, or others.

7. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve performance, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our website.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

8. Data Retention

We may retain personal and professional information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business records, manage professional relationships, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and support future opportunities.

Because freight professionals may wish to consider opportunities at a later date, information may remain in our talent network unless you request otherwise, subject to applicable legal and business recordkeeping requirements.

9. Data Security

Purple Squirrel uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
