Security & compliance

Built with Security Controls From Day One

Route data, delivery addresses, and driver information require serious data handling. Parcelarc is designed with security controls appropriate for carrier operations data.

Security architecture

Six Security Pillars

Encryption in Transit

All API traffic and driver app communications encrypted with TLS 1.3. No unencrypted plaintext endpoints. Certificate pinning on the driver app.

Encryption at Rest

All route data, delivery addresses, and customer data encrypted at rest using AES-256. Database encryption keys managed via dedicated key management with rotation.

Access Controls (RBAC)

Role-based access control per depot and per organization. Dispatchers see only their assigned depots. API keys scoped to specific depot IDs and action types.

Data Residency (US)

All customer data — route data, delivery addresses, driver records — stored in US-based data centers. No cross-border data transfer. Data residency terms available in carrier agreements.

Audit Logs

Full audit trail for every re-optimization event: who triggered it, what constraints were applied, what the output was, and which driver received the update. Retained for 12 months minimum.

SOC 2 Controls in Design

Parcelarc is designed with SOC 2 Type II controls in mind. We have not yet completed a formal SOC 2 audit. Carriers with audit requirements should contact us to discuss our controls documentation.

Data handling

Route Data Policy

Parcelarc processes route data — delivery addresses, stop sequences, driver identifiers, and timing data — as part of its core function. Here's what we store and for how long:

Route and stop data
Retained for 12 months from run date. Used for reporting dashboard and trend analysis. Exportable by customer on request. Deleted on account termination within 30 days.
Delivery address data
Addresses treated as PII. Encrypted at rest. Used only for geocoding and sequence computation — not analyzed for downstream marketing or data products. Customer owns the data.
Driver identifiers
Driver IDs from your fleet system — Parcelarc does not collect driver personal information beyond the identifier used for sequence push. No name, license, or personal data required.
Audit logs
All system events logged with timestamp, actor, action, and outcome. Retained 12 months minimum, configurable to 36 months for Enterprise accounts.
