What Trucker's Friend stores
Your account email, display name and timezone; your settings (detention rate, free minutes, MPG, costs); the loads and settlements you enter; your detention stays (facility, broker, arrival, departure and appointment times); and, only while GPS tracking is switched on, your location pings and the miles and states they add up to.
Where it lives
Everything above is stored in a database on the operator's own private server (a VPS). It is not stored with an advertising network, a data broker, or a social platform.
What is never sold or shared
Your data is never sold, and it is never shared with advertisers or data brokers. There are no ads and no trackers in Trucker's Friend.
GPS
GPS tracking runs only when you tap "Start tracking", and stops when you tap "Stop tracking". Pings your phone cannot upload right away wait on your phone and upload when you are back in coverage. Location is used for your miles, cost per mile and IFTA worksheet — nothing else.
Broker email drafts
When you tap "Prepare broker email draft", the draft is created through Composio in your own Gmail account, so the draft text passes through Composio's service to reach Gmail. Trucker's Friend never sends the email — every draft waits for you to review it and send it yourself.
Passwords
Passwords are stored only as a one-way scrypt hash — never in plain text, and the operator cannot read yours. If you forget your password, the operator can reset it for you: reply to your invite email or contact the operator, and they will set a new one and hand it to you directly.
Deleting your data
Ask the operator (reply to your invite email) and your account and its data will be deleted from the server.
