GDS Load Board Tools — Privacy Policy

Galmat Dispatch Service · last updated November 5, 2026 (broker credit; the Market button)

GDS Load Board Tools is a Chrome extension for dispatchers working the DAT One and Truckstop load boards and for PDF rate confirmations in Gmail. It is used by Galmat Dispatch Service's own dispatchers and by subscribers (see the terms). This page says what it reads, what it keeps, and what it never does.

What it reads in your browser

• Load postings on DAT One (one.dat.com) and Truckstop's load search (main.truckstop.com) — the lane, pickup day, rate, miles, company, MC number and contact shown on the page, including an email or phone number a broker typed into a posting's comments — to fill in your email template, work out the rate per mile including deadhead on Truckstop, open Google Maps, draw the route map, and fill your truck city into DAT One's own route window. This happens in your browser.
• A PDF attachment in Gmail (mail.google.com) — only the one you press GDS on. The extension takes that file from the Gmail page you have open and sends it to our server, which passes it to GDSbot's reader (OpenAI) to write out the load details for you. Nothing else in your mailbox is read, and this needs no Google permission. The load details it wrote are kept in the extension's own storage on your computer for 7 days, so pressing GDS on the same file again shows them without reading it again; they are deleted when you sign out or someone else signs in.

Broker credit, only if you choose a factoring company

The extension can show a broker's credit rating from the factoring company you choose in its popup. Until you choose one, none of this runs. Your choice is kept in the extension's own storage on your computer, and a rating is remembered there for one day.

• RTS Financial — the extension uses your own RTS Pro sign-in. It reads the sign-in token that the RTS Pro page sends to RTS's own services (*.rtspro.com), holds it in the browser's memory for this session (never on disk, gone when Chrome closes) and sends it only back to RTS, to look up the broker's MC number. To pick up the token it may open rtspro.com in a background tab for a few seconds when a load board asks for a rating. It never sees your RTS password.
• eCapital — lookups go straight from your browser to eCapital (api.ecapital.com) on the eCapital login your browser already holds. The extension does not keep that login or see your password.
• Compass Funding — its broker search is public and needs no account. Your browser cannot reach it directly, so the broker's public MC number goes through our server to Compass and the public rating comes back.
• BrokerCreditChecks.com — when you press credit ↗ beside an MC number, that site opens with the number filled in. You read its code and press Search yourself.

Your RTS and eCapital sign-ins, and the ratings they return, never reach our server.

Your Gmail

• When you connect a Gmail address, the extension asks Google for permission to send email as you (gmail.send) and to know which address it is. It cannot read, search, change or delete any email in your mailbox.
• It sends an email only when you press Send on a posting, to that posting's contact, with your template.
• Google's access token is kept in the extension's own storage in your browser, and expires after about an hour. When you connect an address, our server asks Google once which address the token belongs to; it does not keep the token.
• GDS Load Board Tools' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What our server keeps

• Your account sign-in. The sign-in token is kept in the extension's own storage in your browser until it expires (30 days with Remember me, otherwise 8 hours), you sign out, or you sign in to the extension on another computer — one computer per account.
• The Gmail addresses you connected (up to 10), until you remove them in the extension.
• A record of each email sent: the address it was sent from, the broker's address, which posting (origin, destination, pickup day, company), the subject and the time. This is what stops the same email being sent again within 30 minutes. It is deleted after 3 months.
• City names of a posting you open, to draw its route, and your search's origin city, for the Market button. Places are looked up with our map provider, Geoapify.
• Not the PDFs you send to GDSbot. Each one is read and the answer sent back; our server does not store the file. (For Galmat Dispatch Service's own dispatchers the load details it read wait up to one day, for Add to Load History.)
• Your email templates and signature for each address you connect, so they are yours on any computer, one address's signature never goes out from another, and two people sharing one Gmail address still send their own words. Kept until you change them, and deleted when you remove the address.
• If you subscribe: your name, email and password (stored only as a one-way hash) for signing in, and what Stripe tells us about your subscription (its ids and whether it is on trial, active or cancelled). Your card is never seen by us — you type it on Stripe's own page, and Stripe (stripe.com) and its payment service Link (link.com), the merchant of record, keep it, work out the sales tax from your address and send the receipts. We keep only Stripe's fingerprint of the card your free trial ran on (a code, not the card's number), so one card gets one free trial. An account that never finished paying is deleted after 7 days; one whose subscription ended, 13 months after.

What we never do

• Sell or share your data, or use it for advertising.
• Read your email — the one exception is a PDF attachment you press GDS on, above.
• Send anything you did not press Send for.
• Run analytics or tracking in the extension.

Removing your data

Remove a Gmail address in the extension and it is deleted from our server at once; you can also revoke the extension's Gmail access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To have your send records, or your whole account, deleted sooner, email info@galmatdispatch.com.
