Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 29, 2026

Introduction

Truckers Budget™ ("we," "our," or "the app") is a trucking recordkeeping application designed for truck drivers, including owner-operators (1099) and company drivers (W-2). The app helps users track income, expenses, mileage, fuel, maintenance, documents, and reports, including optional IFTA-related recordkeeping features. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the app.

Data Controller

Truckers Budget is developed and operated by Glory Trucking LLC, based in Illinois, United States. For account-related information processed through services we operate or configure, such as Firebase Authentication and limited Firebase profile services, we may act as the data controller.

Your trucking records, including income, expenses, trips, mileage, fuel, IFTA records, receipts, maintenance records, documents, and reports, are stored locally on your Apple device and may sync through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology, if iCloud sync is enabled. These records are controlled by you through your device and Apple account settings.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@truckersbudget.com.

Information Handled by the App

Account and Profile Information

If you create an account or sign in, Firebase Authentication may process account information needed to authenticate you, such as your email address, authentication provider, user identifier, verification status, sign-in tokens, password reset requests, email verification, and account security information.

If you choose to provide profile details, the app may also process limited profile information such as your name, profile photo, phone number, company name, app profile settings, and related account timestamps. This limited profile information may be stored using Firebase Firestore and Firebase Storage for account/profile functionality.

Account and profile information is used to let you sign in, secure your account, manage sessions, verify your email, reset your password, sync profile settings where supported, and provide access to app features. We do not use account or profile information for advertising or data selling.

Location, Mileage, Fuel, and IFTA Records

If you use trip tracking, mileage, fuel, or IFTA-related features, the app may process location, mileage, fuel, trip, jurisdiction, receipt, vehicle, and report information on your device to provide those features.

This may include GPS coordinates during active trip tracking, route points, start and end locations, jurisdiction/state/province mileage, odometer readings, fuel purchases, gallons, fuel cost, fuel location, receipt details, and IFTA-related summaries or exports.

These trucking records are stored locally on your device using Apple platform storage technologies and may sync across your Apple devices through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology, if iCloud sync is enabled. We do not read, review, sell, or use your trucking records for advertising.

Background Location Use

When you start a trip, the app may use background location access to continue recording mileage while the app is not in the foreground. This is used to support active trip tracking, route history, mileage records, jurisdiction mileage, and related recordkeeping features.

Background location access is used only for active trip tracking and related app functionality. It is not used for advertising, data selling, or tracking you outside of an active trip. You can revoke background location permission at any time in your device settings, and you can end any active trip within the app to stop location recording.

If location permission is disabled, interrupted, or unavailable, mileage and jurisdiction records may be incomplete or may require manual correction.

Trucking Records Stored on Your Device and Your Apple iCloud Account

The app may allow you to create or process trucking records such as:

  • Load and income records
  • Paycheck records
  • Expense entries and categories
  • Fuel purchases, gallons, fuel cost, fuel location, and receipt details
  • Trip logs, route information, mileage, jurisdiction mileage, and odometer readings
  • IFTA-related summaries, reports, and export data
  • Per diem and work day records
  • Vehicle information, including truck and trailer details and mileage
  • Maintenance and service records
  • Documents, receipts, settlement records, and exported reports

These records are used by the app to provide recordkeeping, reports, charts, reminders, summaries, and exports. They are stored locally on your Apple device and may sync through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology, if iCloud sync is enabled. We do not have access to these trucking records and do not use them for advertising or data selling.

Documents and Images

The app may allow you to capture, import, scan, attach, or store documents and images such as receipts, settlement documents, fuel receipts, maintenance receipts, profile images, or other trucking records.

Camera and photo library access are used only when you initiate those actions. Trucking documents and receipts are stored locally on your device and may sync through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology, if iCloud sync is enabled.

If you choose to upload a profile image, the image may be stored using Firebase Storage for account/profile functionality.

Subscription and Purchase Data

The app may process information about your in-app purchases and subscription status, including:

  • Subscription tier, such as Free or Pro
  • Purchase date and renewal status

This information is used solely to provide access to paid features. Purchase transactions are processed and managed by Apple and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not store your payment card or banking information.

Device and App Functionality Information

  • Device type and operating system version, when needed for app compatibility, support, or security
  • Push notification tokens or local notification settings for app functionality, such as reminders and trip alerts, if enabled

How Information Is Used

Information handled by the app is used to:

  • Provide core functionality such as expense tracking, income tracking, trip mileage tracking, fuel tracking, maintenance logging, document storage, and financial reporting

  • Send transactional account emails such as email verification and password reset
  • Send local notifications such as work day reminders, trip reminders, and maintenance alerts, if enabled

We do not use your trucking records for advertising. We do not sell your data. We do not share your financial, mileage, fuel, receipt, document, or IFTA records with data brokers.

Accuracy, User Review, and Recordkeeping

Truckers Budget provides tools to help organize and generate records on your device based on information entered, scanned, imported, tracked, or calculated in the app. Some features may rely on GPS signals, user entries, route estimates, receipt scanning, optical character recognition (OCR), automated calculations, Apple services, or other third-party services.

These tools may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or affected by device settings, poor signal, offline use, low battery, missed trip starts, early trip endings, image quality, user input errors, or other real-world conditions. You are responsible for reviewing, correcting, exporting, saving, and retaining any records you need for tax, business, IFTA, IRP, audit, or compliance purposes.

Data Storage and Security

  • Trucking records are stored locally on your Apple device using Apple platform storage technologies, including SwiftData.
  • If iCloud sync is enabled, supported trucking records may sync across your Apple devices through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology.
  • Account authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication. Passwords are managed by Firebase Authentication and are not stored by us in plain text.
  • Limited account/profile information may be stored in Firebase Firestore for profile and account management functionality.
  • Profile images, if you choose to upload one, may be stored in Firebase Storage.
  • Sensitive credentials on your device may be stored in the iOS, iPadOS, or macOS Keychain.
  • The app supports biometric lock, such as Face ID or Touch ID, where available.
  • Data transmitted to Apple iCloud/CloudKit, Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Firebase Storage, or Apple App Store services is encrypted in transit according to those services' security practices.

Third-Party Services

The app may use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

We do not integrate advertising networks, third-party analytics trackers, session recording tools, or data brokers.

Data Retention and Deletion

Trucking records stored locally on your device or synced through your Apple iCloud account using CloudKit private database technology are controlled by you through your device, app, and Apple account settings.

Account-related information processed through Firebase Authentication and limited Firebase profile services is retained for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide app functionality, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and support legitimate business purposes.

If you delete your account through the app's settings (Settings → Delete Account), we will delete your Firebase Authentication account data, cloud-stored profile information, Firebase profile image data, and associated Firebase profile records within 30 days, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Locally cached profile data on your device is cleared according to the app's deletion process.

Data synced to iCloud via CloudKit is managed by Apple and subject to your iCloud account settings. To fully remove iCloud-synced trucking records, you may also need to manage your iCloud storage through your Apple device settings.

You are responsible for exporting, saving, and retaining any tax, business, IFTA, IRP, fuel, mileage, receipt, or compliance records you are legally required to keep before deleting your account, uninstalling the app, changing devices, disabling iCloud sync, or removing app data.

You can:

  • Access your trucking records at any time within the app
  • Update your profile information, email, password, and account settings through the app's settings, where supported
  • Export your records as PDF, CSV, spreadsheet, or other supported reports using the app's export features
  • Control iCloud sync through your Apple device and iCloud settings
  • Delete your account and associated Firebase account/profile data from within the app, where supported
