Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Trucking Life Academy LLC (“Trucking Life,” “we,” “us”), based in Dalton, GA, collects, uses, and shares information when you use https://truckinglifewithshawn.com and our related services. By using the site or submitting a form, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out a form — a school application, a founder or sponsor inquiry, a newsletter or lead sign-up, or a directory submission — we collect what you enter, which may include your name, email address, phone number, city and state, and details about your interest in our training or services.

Information collected automatically. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless website analytics to understand aggregate traffic (for example, which pages are popular). We do not use these analytics to build advertising profiles of you. Our forms use a bot-check (Cloudflare Turnstile) to prevent spam.

How we use your information

• To respond to your application or inquiry and follow up with you.
• To send you information you asked for, such as newsletter updates or resources.
• To send text messages only if you opt in — see our SMS Terms & Conditions.
• To operate, secure, and improve the site.
• To meet legal and regulatory obligations.

Text messaging (SMS)

We send text messages only to people who explicitly opt in on one of our forms. Your consent to receive texts is never a condition of enrolling, purchasing, or using any part of the site. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP. Full details, including message frequency and how to get help, are in our SMS Terms & Conditions. When you opt in, we keep a record of the consent you gave — the disclosure you agreed to, its version, and when — so we can honor your choice and our own obligations. We do not share or sell mobile phone numbers or SMS consent to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited ways:

• Service providers who operate the site on our behalf — for example, our hosting and database providers, our bot-check provider, our email provider, and our text- messaging provider — and only as needed to provide the service.
• Legal reasons — if required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfers — if the business is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

Affiliate links

Some links on our site are affiliate links, including Amazon and Truck Parking Club. As an Amazon Associate, Trucking Life earns from qualifying purchases made through store links, and we may earn a commission on Truck Parking Club reservations. Using an affiliate link does not change your price, and partnerships never change organic directory rankings.

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services and for legitimate business or legal purposes, then delete or de-identify it. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see “Your choices”).

Your choices

• Text messages: reply STOP to any message to opt out, or email us.
• Email: use the unsubscribe link, or email us to be removed.
• Access or deletion: email us to request a copy of, or the deletion of, the information we hold about you.

Children’s privacy

Our services are intended for adults pursuing a commercial driving career and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Third-party sites

Our site links to third-party sites (such as YouTube, our store partners, and Truck Parking Club). Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
