Plain English summary: We collect what we need to run the app — your account info, trucking data you enter, and voice recordings only to process your logs. We never sell your data. Ever.
1. Who We Are
Trucker Life AI ("we," "us," or "our") is a mobile application designed for owner-operators and trucking professionals. We are operated by Sarpreet Singh. For questions about this policy, contact us at support@truckerlifeai.com.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account Information: Email address and password when you create an account.
- Trucking Data: Load details, fuel records, maintenance logs, expense records, mileage, and IFTA data that you enter into the app.
- Voice Data: Audio recordings made through the voice logging feature. Audio is processed in real time to transcribe your logs and is not stored permanently on our servers.
- Location Data: GPS location data collected when you enable location features, used for IFTA state tracking and fuel stop detection. Location is opt-in only.
- Payment Information: Payment is processed by Apple In-App Purchase. We do not store your credit card number. We receive confirmation of payment status only.
- Usage Data: App usage patterns, feature interactions, and crash reports to improve the app.
- Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version for technical support purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, operate, and improve the Trucker Life AI app
- To process your voice logs and generate AI-powered insights
- To calculate IFTA reports, tax summaries, and profit/loss reports
- To send important account and service notifications
- To process payments and manage your subscription
- To provide customer support
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
4. Voice Data & AI Processing
When you use voice logging, your audio is transmitted securely to our speech-to-text provider (Deepgram) for transcription, then processed by our AI system (Anthropic Claude) to extract and log your trucking data. Voice audio is not stored permanently after processing. Transcribed text is stored as part of your log entry.
4a. Third-Party AI Services & Your Consent
Trucker Life AI uses third-party artificial intelligence services. We do not send your data to these providers until you tap “I agree — allow AI features” on the in-app consent screen (shown before AI Advisor, Voice Log, or document scanning). You can decline and still use manual entry and non-AI features. You can review or revoke consent anytime under Profile → Help → AI & third-party data sharing.
What we may send (only after you agree):
- Messages you type in AI Advisor or Voice Log
- Voice audio from your microphone (for speech-to-text and spoken replies)
- Summaries of trucking records you entered (loads, fuel, maintenance, expenses, profit and mileage statistics, broker names, and similar business data)
- Photos of documents you scan (rate confirmations, fuel receipts, repair invoices, and other receipts)
- Conversation history within AI features (stored on your device)
Who receives it and why:
- Anthropic (Claude): AI chat (AI Advisor), understanding voice commands, and document OCR. Privacy: anthropic.com/legal/privacy
- Deepgram: Voice-to-text transcription and text-to-speech for Voice Log. Privacy: deepgram.com/privacy
- Supabase: Our backend securely routes requests; API keys are stored on our servers, not in the app. Privacy: supabase.com/privacy
We use this data only to operate AI features inside the app. We do not sell your personal information. Third-party providers are required to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us, under terms comparable to this policy.
5. Location Data
Location access is entirely opt-in. If you enable GPS features, we collect background location to track state crossings for IFTA reporting and to detect truck stops. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings. We do not share your location with third parties except as required to provide the IFTA tracking service.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Supabase: Database and authentication infrastructure; secure routing for AI and OCR requests
- Apple: In-App Purchase processing
- Deepgram: Voice-to-text and text-to-speech when you use Voice Log (after in-app consent)
- Anthropic: AI Advisor chat, Voice Log understanding, and document OCR (after in-app consent)
- Google: Maps and distance calculation for load mileage
Sharing with Deepgram and Anthropic occurs only after you grant permission in the app. All third-party providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us, with protection comparable to this policy.
7. Data Retention
We retain your account and trucking data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or tax compliance purposes.
8. Your Rights
- Access: Request a copy of your data
- Correction: Update inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and data
- Export: Export your trucking data in CSV format
- Opt-out: Disable location tracking at any time; revoke third-party AI sharing under Profile → AI & third-party data sharing
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@truckerlifeai.com.
9. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS), encrypted storage, and secure authentication. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.
10. Children's Privacy
Trucker Life AI is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
