OAuth 2 - Google Accounts

Effective date: January 1, 2025

CHRT is a logistics platform that helps shippers, forwarders, and carriers track and manage their shipments. Our current services include:
- CHRT Trackers – real-time GPS trackers and passive loggers that you place with shipments to monitor location, temperature, shock, and other conditions
- CHRT Driver App – a mobile app for drivers to accept jobs, capture proof of delivery, and share live location with dispatchers and customers
- CHRT Web Platform – a dashboard for shippers, forwarders, and operations teams to manage orders, tasks, and shipment visibility across road, air, and ocean
Future services may include additional logistics tooling such as expanded carrier integrations, advanced analytics, and broader supply-chain visibility features.

When you create your CHRT account, you can choose to protect the account using:
- an email address and a password
- your existing Google account
When you choose to use an existing Google account, you’ll sign in to your CHRT account using a process known as OAuth 2
OAuth 2 involves redirecting you from our login page to Google’s authentication servers. Upon successful authentication with Google, you are redirected back to CHRT’s site with permission to access your CHRT account.
When CHRT redirects you to Google, our service includes requests for certain data (defined by parameters known as “scopes”, such as your name, email address, etc.) which are returned to us if you authenticate successfully
This page describes what scopes we request, why we request them, and what we do with the data from your Google account

Non-sensitive scopes:
- ./auth/userinfo.email – See your primary Google Account email address
- ./auth/userinfo.profile – See your personal info, including any personal info you’ve made publicly available
- openid – Associate you with your personal info on Google
Sensitive scopes:
- none
Restricted scopes:
- none

The biggest enhancement is simply the ease of creating an account and signing in using your existing Google credentials.
Your name and email address are used in our application to communicate with you and are displayed, at your discretion, on your account profile and to teammates within your organization on CHRT.
In the future, if we request additional scopes (such as calendar or contacts data, etc.), we’ll need to update this page and get your individual consent before Google grants CHRT access to those scopes and data.

It’s very convenient.
- You can create a CHRT account without creating and remembering a new username and password.
- You can authenticate (sign in) using your Google credentials, which might already be stored in your browser, especially if you use Google Chrome.
