ShuttleControl employs multiple data protection practices to safeguard user and business data. Here’s an overview of the primary security measures in place:
Encrypted Data in Transit: All user data is encrypted during transmission using secure protocols. This means sensitive information such as trip details and location data are securely transferred between devices and the server.
No Data Shared with Third Parties: The platform states no user data is shared externally, reducing risk of data leaks.
User Authentication: Access to the platform requires authentication by drivers, dispatchers, and other team members, restricting data access only to authorized individuals.
Customizable User Roles: Businesses can configure access controls, allowing different permission sets for various users—such as drivers, dispatchers, and managers—based on their needs.
User Data Deletion Requests: Users can request their data to be deleted, offering control and transparency regarding personal information management.
Secure Driver App: The ShuttleControl Driver app on both iOS and Android devices follows industry security standards for data handling, requiring minimal permissions (e.g., location for trip tracking) and enforcing encrypted communications.
Regular Updates and Monitoring: The platform is updated for bug fixes and performance enhancements to minimize vulnerabilities.
Network Security: ShuttleControl uses advanced network security measures, including DDoS protection and resource isolation, which defend customer data against unauthorized access and service disruption.
Infrastructure Designed for Security: The architecture is built to ensure separation of customer data and system resources, bolstering organizational data privacy and operational continuity.
Commitment to Security Standards: ShuttleControl works toward compliance with recognized security frameworks, such as SOC 2 Type 2, confirming its focus on safeguarding customer data and maintaining operational reliability.
Regular Improvements: ShuttleControl implements ongoing improvements and bug fixes as part of its commitment to reliability and user satisfaction. User feedback is actively solicited, and issues such as occasional software glitches are addressed promptly through regular updates.
Continuous Enhancement: The platform is described as being “improved each day by removing any remaining bugs and glitches,” indicating frequent background updates to maintain system performance and add enhancements. However, ShuttleControl does not publish a strict, predefined update schedule (e.g., weekly or monthly releases).
Cloud-Based Deployments: Since ShuttleControl is a cloud platform, updates and patches are managed centrally by ShuttleControl’s technical team. This means that all users automatically benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches without manual intervention.
No User Downtime: Updates are applied in a way that minimizes or eliminates operational downtime—users experience seamless upgrades, with the software remaining accessible for critical tasks during releases.
User-Centric Feedback Loop: User feedback helps prioritize updates, with customer support channels used to gather suggestions and quickly resolve issues through timely patches.
Customer is the Data Controller: Under ShuttleControl’s policy, customers retain control and ownership of all their data that is uploaded or processed within the ShuttleControl platform. ShuttleControl acts as a data processor, handling the data only according to the customer’s instructions and contractual agreements.
Responsibility for Compliance: Customers are responsible for ensuring that they have the rights or necessary consent to process any personal data on ShuttleControl, and must comply with applicable data protection laws. ShuttleControl processes data strictly on the customer’s behalf and follows their directions.
No Unauthorized Use: ShuttleControl commits to confidentiality requirements, and will not use, disclose, or access customer data except as required for providing contracted services or to comply with legal obligations.
Customer Control Over Data: Customers have ongoing control of their data, including decisions regarding access, retention, and deletion. ShuttleControl only maintains or processes data as directed by the customer and as needed to fulfill legal requirements.
Right to Access and Copy Data: Customers have the right to request access to, or copies of, all data stored within ShuttleControl. Upon written request, ShuttleControl will provide customers or their designated third parties with copies of the data in their possession or control.
Return or Deletion of Data: Upon termination or expiration of the service agreement, ShuttleControl will, at the customer's instruction, securely delete or return all customer data, except for any copies required to be retained for legal purposes in accordance with its data retention policies.
Industry-Standard Formats: Data provided for portability is made available in structured, commonly used, and machine-readable formats to facilitate interoperability and migration to other systems.
ShuttleControl provides clear, flexible options for businesses to adjust their service level as organizational needs change—whether scaling operations up or down. Here are the key aspects:
No Long-Term Contracts: ShuttleControl uses a monthly, pay-as-you-go model with no mandatory long-term commitments, making it easy to scale usage up or down without penalty or lock-in.
Immediate Plan Changes: Organizations can upgrade or downgrade their plan at any time, with changes reflected in the next billing cycle.
Cancel Anytime: Subscriptions are cancellable at any time with no cancellation fees, ensuring maximum agility for seasonal or fluctuating business needs.
Increasing Vehicle Limits: Each plan (Essentials, ShuttleControl, Fleet) comes with a set vehicle limit. If your fleet outgrows that plan, you can:
Upgrade to a higher plan for a larger vehicle allowance.
Add more vehicles to your current plan. Additional vehicles are billed at $60/month each for any exceeding your current plan’s included limit.
Unlimited Users: All plans support unlimited users—you can add new drivers, dispatchers, or managers at any time, making headcount expansion frictionless.
Feature Upgrades: Moving to a higher-tier plan unlocks enhanced features and support (e.g., API access, priority support).
Downgrading Plans: If your organizational needs decrease (e.g., downsizing your fleet or operations), you can switch to a lower-tier plan with fewer included vehicles and features as needed. The next month’s billing will reflect the reduced costs.
Removing Vehicles: Simply remove vehicles from your active fleet to stay within your lower-tier plan’s vehicle allowance or to further reduce costs.
Monthly Subscription Model: ShuttleControl operates on a monthly, pay-as-you-go model. There are no long-term contracts or minimum commitments required for any plan.
Automatic Renewal: Subscription renews automatically each month upon payment, ensuring uninterrupted access to the service unless the user chooses to cancel.
No Setup Fees: There are no setup or hidden fees, supporting a transparent commitment model.
Cancel Anytime: You can cancel your ShuttleControl subscription at any time without incurring penalties or cancellation fees. This applies to all subscription tiers and usage levels.
Immediate Effect: Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period. You will continue to have access to ShuttleControl until that period concludes, after which your account will no longer be billed.
How to Cancel: Cancellations can typically be managed directly through your account portal or by contacting ShuttleControl support. The process is designed to be user-friendly with no complicated restrictions or approval processes involved.
No Refunds for Partial Months: Standard industry practice is that cancellations are effective at the end of the current billing cycle; unused time within a paid period is not refunded.
Automatic Monthly Renewal: All active subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each paid period to ensure continuous service. You will be charged the plan rate unless you cancel before the next renewal date.
Plan Adjustments: Changes to your plan—including upgrades, downgrades, or vehicle count modifications—can be made at any time and will adjust your billing accordingly in the next cycle. No penalty applies for changing plans or reducing usage.
Payment Methods: Most major credit cards are accepted, and billing occurs monthly by default.
No Contractual Lock-In: There are no binding annual/long-term agreements. Flexibility is provided to businesses to scale up, scale down, or exit the platform at their discretion, aligned with their operational needs.
ShuttleControl software is designed to align with key compliance standards relevant to data security, privacy, and operational excellence, particularly for SaaS solutions managing transportation and fleet operations.

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): The platform is also designed to meet the requirements of this leading U.S. privacy law, providing transparency and controls to California residents over their personal information.
SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance (in progress/commitment): ShuttleControl has emphasized its dedication to achieving SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which evaluates controls and processes related to the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. This attestation, created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a widely recognized standard for SaaS providers seeking to assure customers of strong data security and operational safeguards.
Data Encryption and Access Control: ShuttleControl uses strong encryption for data in transit and at rest, and provides access controls to restrict data use only to authorized personnel.
Audit Logging and Traceability: Comprehensive activity logs ensure traceability and support audit requirements, crucial for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and GDPR.
