information that is intended to assist individuals interested in becoming a Driver for
G.T.C. to quickly and easily obtain specific and accurate information about G.T.C.

G.T.C. does not knowingly collect any information from or about a child without the
consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian. Given that our Web site primarily
advertises to individuals with commercial driver's license (CDL), and that a person
must be at least 18 to receive even an intrastate restricted CDL, G.T.C. operates
under the assumption that any requests for information are from an individual who
has reached the age of majority.

other G.T.C. businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.

is only used for the stated purpose. All information that G.T.C. collects and maintains will not be
released to any party outside of G.T.C. or its related businesses without your consent, except

functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data,
performing background checks, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service.

functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party.
2. We may disclose such information as required or permitted by law. Additionally, we may
disclose such information if requested to do so by a governmental entity, or if we believe in good
faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal
process; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of G.T.C., its affiliated companies, or its
employees; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of

Each registered user accessing his or her G.T.C. account information on the Web site has an
individual User Name and password as set by him or her or by a User Administrator from his or
her company to ensure that all of a user’s data is protected against unauthorized access. The
User Administrator acting on behalf of his or her company is responsible for deactivating the User
Name and password of employees departing his or her company. G.T.C. has implemented
reasonable security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss

application process at the G.T.C. Web site, your personal information is protected through the
use of encryption measures, such as the Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") protocol. The SSL
protocol makes it difficult for your personal information to be intercepted or stolen while it is being
transmitted. We cannot, however, guarantee that unauthorized third parties (such as "hackers"
and other dishonest and criminal persons) will never be able to defeat our security measures or
exploit a failure or weakness of computer hardware, software, or a communications network to
misappropriate your personal information.
