When you operate the Vehicle, Hyroad may collect certain information from the Vehicle remotely. While this information pertains to the Vehicle, your identity or other personal information may be indirectly obtained through this information. This information may include your location obtained through the Vehicle’s location, travel direction, speed, and information about the environment where the Vehicle is in operation, such as weather, road segment data, trail and road surface conditions, traffic signs, and navigation systems.

Security

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect information within our organization in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our data security policies and procedures.

If you sell or transfer the Vehicles to another person, please be aware that some of your personal information may be maintained or accessible through the Vehicles after the sale or transfer.

Cookie Policy

Last updated: December 2025

Hyroad Networks LLC (“Hyroad,” “we,” or “us”) and our third-party providers set and use cookies and similar technologies to store and manage user preferences, enable content, and gather analytic and usage data. The use of cookies and other tracking technologies is standard across websites and apps through which information is collected about your online activities across applications, websites, or other services. This Cookie Policy provides information about how we use cookies and similar technologies in our Services, and how you can control and manage them.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on a computer or other device and is used to identify the user or device and to collect information. Cookies are typically assigned to one of four categories, depending on their function and intended purpose: absolutely necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and cookies for marketing purposes.

Types of Cookies and Why We Use Them

Absolutely necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like adding items to an online shopping cart, cannot be provided.
Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our websites. Information collected includes, for example, the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. Performance cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and enhance your experience.
Functionality cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username or ID, language preference, or the area or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of webpages. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting and advertising cookies: These cookies track browsing habits and are used to deliver targeted (interest-based) advertising. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
Embedded content: Some features you can find on our website use third party applications and services to enhance your experience (e.g., Facebook, embedded content from YouTube). As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies.

Managing Cookies

You can manage website cookies in your web browser (for example, Edge, Chrome, Safari, etc.) settings, and you always have the choice to change these settings by accepting, rejecting, or deleting cookies. If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions and features will not work as intended on the services. Cookie settings are slightly different depending on the browser used, so to manage cookies, you should refer to the program documentation and the relevant settings within your particular browser.

We understand that you may want to know more about cookies. Here are some useful resources that provide detailed information about types of cookies, how they are used, and how you can manage your cookie preferences: www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org

Web Beacons

Our webpages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also called single-pixel gifs and transparent graphic images) that we use to help deliver cookies on our sites, count users who have visited those sites, deliver services, and analyze the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, for example. We may also include web beacons in our marketing email messages or newsletters to determine whether an email is opened or if links are clicked.

Web Server & Application Logs

Our servers automatically collect certain information to help us administer and protect the Services, analyze usage, and improve users’ experience. The information collected includes:

IP address and browser type
Device information including Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), Unique Device Identifier (UDID), MAC address, Identifier For Advertisers (IFA), and similar identifiers we or others may assign

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.

Do Not Sell My Information

In general, Hyroad does not sell any personal information to third parties. Notwithstanding, you have the right to opt out of sale of your personal information to a third party. Please note that this does not stop us from distributing this information within our organization across business units. Additionally, your right to opt out does not stop all transfers to third parties as we can continue to provide your personal information to our service providers pursuant to a written contract that meets requirements within the CCPA. Furthermore, we can continue to provide data that does not meet the definition of personal information.

This right to opt out applies to all California consumers ages 16 or older and may be exercised at any time. We will honor all such requests unless you subsequently decide to opt into the sale of your personal information.

For consumers under 16 years of age, we do not sell or share personal information without affirmative authorization (opt-in consent). For consumers under 13 years of age, we require opt-in consent from a parent or guardian before selling or sharing personal information. For consumers between 13 and 15 years of age (inclusive), we require opt-in consent from the consumer themselves before selling or sharing personal information.

The sale of personal information does not include if you direct us to interact with a third party, any third-party alerts that you have opted out of, the sharing of information is necessary to perform a business purpose and meets the other conditions specified, or the information is transferred as part of an asset in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other change of control event.

If you wish to exercise your right to opt out, please submit a request via support@hyroadenergy.com. We will honor your request for twelve (12) months before we ask you to opt into the sale of your personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.);
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
Comply with a legal obligation; and
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Right to Correct Inaccurate Information

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information we maintain about you. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information.

We may deny your correction request if we determine that the personal information we maintain about you is accurate. If we deny your request, we will inform you of our decision and the reasons for the denial.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We strongly recommend that you periodically visit this page to review these Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may not access or use the Software Services.

Description of Software Services

The Software Services, through the Portal and the Application, are intended to provide a convenient solution for owners and fleets desiring to operate, monitor, and manage the Vehicles, vehicle drivers, vehicle hardware, vehicle firmware and software, and vehicle maintenance. In addition to allowing the Vehicles to operate, the Software Services enable authorized and designated drivers to interface with and remotely control the Vehicles, enable real-time monitoring of the status and location of the Vehicles, enable assignment and management of fleet Vehicles and drivers, and enable the management of over-the-air (OTA) updates to vehicle systems firmware and software.

Use of the Software Services

You may access and use the Software Services only for lawful, authorized purposes and you agree not misuse the Software Services in any manner. You agree to comply with any policies or notices Hyroad provides you in connection with the Software Services from time to time. You further agree not to use the Portal or Application while driving the Vehicles.

You may not reproduce, modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, mirror, frame, republish, download, transmit, or create derivative works of the materials on the Software Services, or otherwise make the information on the Software Services available to anyone other than yourself unless otherwise expressly authorized herein. You may not sell, resell, or lease the Software Services unless you have entered into a separate agreement with Hyroad to do so.

You agree that you will not use the Software Services, or any materials offered through the Software Services, to: (i) transmit spam, bulk, or unsolicited communications; (ii) pretend to be Hyroad or spoof Hyroad’s identity or misrepresent any affiliate of Hyroad; (iii) forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers (including URLs) in order to disguise the origin of any content transmitted to or via the Software Services; or (iv) disrupt the normal flow or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users’ ability to use the Software Services. Hyroad reserves the right to report any wrongdoing to the applicable government agencies.

You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Portal’s or the Application’s content without the prior, written permission of Hyroad.

You agree that you will not access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Software Services, Hyroad’s computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of Hyroad or its providers. You further agree not to attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any Hyroad system or network or breach any security or authentication measures. You also agree not to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, impair, descramble, or otherwise circumvent any technological measure implemented by Hyroad or any of Hyroad’s providers or any third party to protect the Software Services.

Modifications to the Software Services

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Portal or the Application (or any features or parts thereof) at any time. We further reserve the right in the future to obtain fees for the usage of certain aspects of the Software Services or for additional features or services provided in the Software Services which will be governed by a separate agreement.

We reserve the right to make modifications and updates to the Software Services at any time, including wirelessly pushing firmware or software updates to your Vehicle and modifying the features and functionality of the Software Services or the Portal or Application through which the Software Services are accessed. You understand that you may not be able to get software or firmware updates pushed to your Vehicle if it is out of range of wi-fi communication or has limited cellular or wi-fi connectivity.

We may also facilitate remote software or firmware updates to you Vehicle, which may reprogram one or more electronic control units (ECUs) and change the performance of the Vehicle. Once deployed, the operator will be required to accept the update, for example, through the Vehicle’s infotainment system, before it can proceed. If you do not allow for these updates, you may run the risk of damage to the Vehicle. When critical updates occur, we may elect to deploy them automatically. If you represent a fleet, you are solely responsible for notifying all drivers of any affected Vehicle that an ECU update will be applied as the Vehicle may not be operated during the update and may perform differently following the update. Hyroad disclaims any obligation to notify drivers of updates to the Vehicle and disclaims any liability for failing to do so.

The Software Services, including the Portal and the Application, may allow you to set and change certain operational parameters of the Vehicles you operate or manage. For example, you may be able to set cabin climate settings through the Application or set speed or battery state of charge limits through the Portal. Hyroad disclaims any liability for the performance of your Vehicle from your use of the Software Services to modify any vehicle parameters.

If you operate or manage more than one Vehicle, you understand that the Vehicles you operate or manage may have different versions of software and may operate differently as a result. It is your responsibility to monitor and implement software updates to your Vehicles with the most recent software versions and to understand how the Vehicles may function differently under different software versions.

When you sell your Vehicle, it is your responsibility to remove the Vehicle from your account on the Portal and the Application. Hyroad disclaims any liability for any unauthorized programming or repairs that are performed by previous owners of the Vehicle. Hyroad further disclaims any liability for any acts or omissions taken with respect to the Vehicle as a result of your failure to remove the Vehicle from your account or as a result of the unauthorized use of your personal identification number (PIN) used to operate the Vehicle.

Accounts

In order to use or access certain features of the Software Services, such as the Portal and the Application, you may have to create an account which may be set up via the Portal or the Application. You agree to only provide information for the account that is accurate, complete, and up to date. Hyroad reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account if you provide inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date information.

You may not share your account information, including your PIN used to operate the Vehicle, or permit any third party to access your account or account details unless otherwise authorized by these Terms. You may not operate the Vehicle using a PIN other than the PIN personally assigned to you. You are ultimately responsible for any acts or omissions taken through your account. You agree to prevent any unauthorized access or use of your account and to terminate any unauthorized use or access to the Software Services. You agree to notify us as soon as reasonably possible in the event you determine your account has been compromised or has been used by any unauthorized person or entity.

The Software Services may permit designation of certain roles for end users, such as drivers or fleet administrators. Fleet administrators may have the ability to access, disclose, restrict, remove, or modify the information in your account. Hyroad is not responsible for the internal management of fleet administrator activities.

Interactions Between Drivers and Fleets

The Software Services, including the Portal, may enable drivers to connect with fleets and may allow drivers to send messages and automatically share driving logs, documents, location information, and other data with the fleet. When drivers connect with a fleet through the Software Services, the fleet’s employees and other third-party contractors of the fleet may access this data and data associated with other drivers connected with the fleet.

If a fleet designates a driver, the fleet agrees to inform the driver that the driver’s data may automatically be shared with the fleet as well as Hyroad, and that the company may be able to send messages to the driver. If you represent a fleet, you are solely responsible for notifying, obtaining consent, and ensuring compliance with these Terms for all drivers.

Personal Information

When you use the Software Services, including when you operate the Vehicles, you understand that you or the Vehicles may generate or record certain data about you or about the Vehicles. For example, when you use the Software Services, you may be asked to provide personal information about yourself (for example, name, email address, password, or other personal information) (“Personal Information”). While you own your Personal Information, you understand Hyroad requires the Personal Information in order to provide and/or improve the Software Services. As a result, by using the Software Services, you grant to us a royalty-free, non-exclusive, fully transferable, and non-revocable license to collect, store, transmit, display, analyze, aggregate, disclose, sell, or otherwise use your Personal Information.

Subject to these Terms, Hyroad grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferrable license to use the Vehicle Data solely to the extent necessary to operate, repair, or service the Vehicles or use the Software Services.

You consent to the installation of data loggers and collection of vehicle data by Hyroad, or the third party authorized by Hyroad, and agree not to tamper with, interfere with, disable, or remove the same.
