Acknowledgement/ Consent
By enrolling in Horus GPS, you represent that you have the consent of each Horus GPS participant to (a) provide information collected by the smartphone to us, and (b) permit us to retain and use the information as described in these terms and conditions. Once the Horus GPS Data is sent to us, the recorded information will remain on the smartphone for a limited time for viewing, and then be deleted. CDL Protect will retain information collected or derived from the App as required by our record retention policies.
Horus GPS Data may be useful in determining the cause of an incident or accident (“Accident”). If you’re in an Accident, you may have a legal obligation to preserve the information on your phone. This information may be sought by opposing parties in a civil lawsuit or by police when investigating the cause of an Accident, or we may be legally obligated to provide such information in response to a subpoena or as otherwise required by law.
​
You agree we may monitor and analyze Horus GPS Data for detecting whether an Accident may have occurred and for” Commercial Roadside Dispatch Services” to help locate the exact location of the vehicle” and providing that location to a third-party Service provider . If your data is potentially relevant to an insurance claim, you agree we may use Horus GPS Data to assist in resolving the claim. This may include, but is not necessarily limited to, validating the circumstances of the Accident, such as date and time of loss and crash location; making liability and coverage determinations, and conducting investigations of membership and/or claims fraud and material misrepresentation; and any potential subrogation or litigation involving the claim. However, you agree that CDL Protect has the discretion to deny unlawful requests or unlawful subpoenas for the above information.

The App temporarily stores Horus GPS Data on your smartphone, and then uploads it for processing by CDL Protect. Transmission of Horus GPS Data uses a portion of data on your cell phone plan. The online connection required to use the App, and any associated charges (e.g., mobile data expenses) incurred by your use of the App, are your exclusive responsibility and made solely at your expense.

For most smartphones, battery consumption is negligible when not collecting Horus GPS Data. When driving, battery consumption is comparable to other driving and navigation apps.
