Baaj ELD ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") is an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) application developed by Baaj LLC for commercial motor vehicle drivers and fleet operators. The App helps drivers maintain federally mandated Hours of Service (HOS) logs, submit Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR), and connect to ELD hardware via Bluetooth.
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and protected, and the rights available to you. By using the App you agree to the practices described here.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| First name, last name | Driver identification on logs |
| Username & password | Authentication |
| Email address | Account communication |
| Phone number | Account communication |
| Driver's license number & issuing jurisdiction | Regulatory compliance (FMCSA) |
| Profile photo (optional) | Driver identification |
| Time zone & language preference | App personalisation |
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Duty status changes (driving, on-duty, off-duty, sleeper berth) | HOS compliance |
| Log entry timestamps, odometer readings, engine hours | HOS compliance |
| Vehicle VIN, unit number, and selections | ELD association |
| Shipment / load ID | Dispatch & carrier records |
| DVIR inspection records & defects | Safety compliance |
| Team driving sessions | Co-driver HOS management |
| Log certifications & edits | Audit trail (required by FMCSA) |
| DTC events & malfunction codes | ELD diagnostic reporting |
We collect your device's precise GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) only at the moment a duty status change or log entry is created. We do not run persistent background location tracking. Location data is stored with each log entry as required by 49 CFR § 395.26.
The App scans for and connects to compatible ELD hardware over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). We store the pairing identifier and connection history of paired ELD devices to enable automatic reconnection. BLE scanning and connections are active only while the App is in the foreground or during an active driving session.
We use Google Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash reports and error logs. These may include device model, OS version, app version, and an anonymised user identifier. We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand aggregate app usage (screen views, feature usage). No personally identifiable information is sent to analytics.
Authentication credentials are stored securely on your device to maintain your session and are automatically invalidated when you log out or when your session expires.
We do not use your data for advertising, sale to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to ELD compliance and fleet management.
As required by FMCSA regulations, your HOS logs, DVIR records, and driving data are accessible to your employing carrier or fleet operator through their fleet management portal.
Drivers are required by law (49 CFR § 395.22) to provide ELD output to authorised enforcement officers on request. The App provides display and transfer modes to facilitate this.
| Provider | Service | Data shared | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|

We may disclose data if required by applicable law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Baaj LLC, our users, or the public.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
On-device: Log data is stored in an encrypted local database on your device to support offline operation. Authentication credentials are stored in device secure storage.
Cloud: Data is synced to our secure cloud backend over TLS-encrypted HTTPS connections. The backend is hosted in a secure cloud environment with access controls.
Security measures: We employ industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission, secure credential management, and logical data isolation between users. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
FMCSA regulations require that ELD records be retained for a minimum of 6 months from the date of creation. We retain your driving records, HOS logs, and DVIR data for at least this period and may retain them longer for compliance or legal purposes.
Account data is retained for as long as your account remains active. Upon account deletion we will delete or anonymise personal data not subject to a legal retention obligation within 30 days.
Some data we collect is classified as sensitive personal information under applicable US state privacy laws. This includes your driver's license number and precise geolocation data. We collect this data solely because it is required by federal ELD regulations (49 CFR Part 395) and for no other purpose. We do not use sensitive personal information for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties, and we do not share it beyond what is required for regulatory compliance and app operation.
Where applicable law grants you the right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, you may exercise that right by contacting us at privacy@baajeld.com. Note that limiting use of federally mandated data may affect your ability to use the App for its core compliance purpose.
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to:
