• Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us with hosting, analytics, payment processing, and customer support.

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Trucker Bae is intended for users who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information and terminate the account.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer the Service, track users' movements around the Service, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly without cookies.
