American Truck Drivers Inc. (“American Truck Drivers,” “ATD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the American Truck Drivers mobile application and the website Atruckdrivers.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and delete information when you use our website, mobile app, accounts, comments, media-submission features, and related services.
Last updated: August 8, 2026
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the American Truck Drivers website, the American Truck Drivers mobile app, app accounts, comments, profile features, media submissions, and related services that link to this policy.
Third-party websites, platforms, and services have their own privacy practices. When you use a third-party service, such as Google or YouTube, that third party’s terms and privacy policy also apply to its service.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
Depending on how you use our services, you may provide:
- Account information: first name, last name, display name, username, email address, password credentials, phone number, and default location.
- Profile information: profile photo or avatar and other information you choose to add to your profile.

- Authorization information: records showing acceptance of a submission authorization, release, or license, including information reasonably necessary to document that acceptance.
Information From Sign-In Providers
If you choose a third-party sign-in method that we make available, such as Google Sign-In, we may receive information from that provider such as a provider account identifier, name, email address, profile photo, and authentication information needed to verify the sign-in. We do not receive your third-party account password.
We use Firebase Authentication and related authentication services to support certain sign-in methods. Authentication tokens are used to verify your identity and connect your sign-in to your American Truck Drivers account.
Information Collected Automatically
When you use our website or app, we or our service providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as:
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser type, operating system, device type, and app platform.
- Security, authentication, session, error, and diagnostic information.
- Dates and times of requests and interactions with our services.
- Cookie or similar technology information on the website, where applicable.
3. How We Use Information
We use information for purposes including:
- Creating, authenticating, maintaining, and securing app accounts.
- Displaying and updating user profiles.
- Providing news, videos, comments, submission, and community features.
- Receiving, reviewing, moderating, crediting, and publishing user-submitted content where authorized.
- Communicating with users about accounts, submissions, support, policy updates, or service issues.
- Preventing abuse, fraud, unauthorized access, and security incidents.
- Maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving our website and app.
- Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our Terms, submission authorizations, and other agreements.
4. How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website and app. Depending on the feature used, these providers may include hosting, cloud storage, authentication, security, analytics, email, and content-delivery providers.
Our current technical environment may include services such as:
- WordPress and our web-hosting infrastructure for website and account-related backend services.
- Google Firebase and Google Sign-In for supported authentication features.
- DigitalOcean Spaces for storage and delivery of certain profile images and uploaded media.
- YouTube for linked or embedded video content.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or abuse, respond to lawful requests, or enforce our agreements.
We do not sell personal information for money. The website may use analytics, advertising, or similar technologies. Where applicable law gives you rights concerning those technologies, we will provide the rights and controls required by that law.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain security, understand site traffic, improve performance, and support analytics or advertising where enabled. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some website features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.
6. User-Submitted Content
If you submit a comment, photo, video, or other content, information you choose to make public may be visible to other users. Media submissions may be reviewed by our editorial or moderation team before publication.
Some submissions are governed by a separate authorization, release, or license presented at the time of submission. That authorization may describe rights you grant to American Truck Drivers and records we may need to maintain to document those rights.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing the service, maintaining account security, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations.
When an account is deleted, we delete or de-identify associated personal data from active systems except for information we are reasonably required or permitted to retain for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements, or documentation of permissions or licenses. Residual copies may remain for a limited period in routine backup or disaster-recovery systems until those copies are overwritten or expire.
8. Account and Data Deletion
If you have an American Truck Drivers app account, you can request deletion of the account and associated personal data.
You may initiate deletion from the app through the account settings when the feature is available in your installed version. You may also request deletion without the app through our public Account Deletion page:
https://atruckdrivers.com/account-deletion/
Deleting your American Truck Drivers account does not delete your Google, Apple, Facebook, or other third-party account.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, export of, deletion of, or restrictions on certain personal information. You may also have rights to object to or opt out of certain processing.
To submit a privacy request, contact app@atruckdrivers.com or use the Account Deletion page for account deletion requests. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a request.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No website, app, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Do not send passwords, authentication tokens, or other sensitive credentials to us by email.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in violation of applicable law, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
12. International Users
If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Where applicable law requires additional safeguards or rights, we will take reasonable steps to provide them.
