Sensitive Personal Information (CPRA §1798.121)
We collect the following categories of Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) solely to deliver our core service. We do not use SPI for advertising, profiling, or secondary purposes beyond what is necessary to perform the Platform's functions:
You have the right to limit our use of your SPI to what is necessary for the service. Because we do not use SPI beyond service delivery, this right is automatically satisfied. If you believe we are using your SPI beyond these purposes, email us or use the "Limit My Sensitive PI" control in your Driver Settings (Privacy tab) to flag your preference for our review. The control is also accessible at the bottom of this page.
Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) — CPPA Regs effective Jan 1, 2026
SignStops uses an automated gig-matching feature ("auto-approve") that may automatically accept a driver's work offer without manual agent review. This constitutes Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) under California's CPPA regulations because it affects a driver's access to economic opportunity.
What it does: When a property's auto-approve setting is enabled, the Platform automatically accepts the first qualifying offer submitted. No human reviews the decision before acceptance.
Your opt-out right: California residents (and all users) may opt out of automated matching at any time. When opted out, all your offers are routed to manual agent review, regardless of the property's setting. This may reduce the speed at which your offers are accepted but does not affect your ability to use the Platform.
To opt out: go to Driver Settings → Privacy tab and toggle "Opt out of automated gig matching." You can opt back in at any time. Logged-in drivers can also toggle this preference at the Privacy Settings page.
To submit any verifiable privacy request, email privacy@signstops.com from the address associated with your account. We will respond within 45 days.
Virginia residents have similar rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, including the right to correct inaccurate data, opt out of automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and to appeal our response to a privacy request. Contact privacy@signstops.com to exercise these rights.
We use industry-standard measures including TLS encryption in transit, row-level security on our database, and access controls to protect your information. Payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe and is never stored on our servers.
No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@signstops.com.
The Platform is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us immediately.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated by email and in-app notification at least 14 days before taking effect.
We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so a formal "Do Not Sell" opt-out (CPRA §1798.120) is not required. If you have questions, email privacy@signstops.com.
Limit My Sensitive Personal Information (CPRA §1798.121)
If you are a driver, you can flag a preference to limit secondary uses of your sensitive PI (precise GPS, government ID) in Driver Settings. Because we only use SPI for service delivery, this flag triggers a manual review of your account to confirm compliance. Logged-in drivers: use the button below or go to Driver Settings → Privacy.
Opt out of automated gig matching (ADMT)
Logged-in drivers can opt out of the auto-approve gig-matching feature at any time. Driver Settings → Privacy.
