What we collect
Tirefax is a tool for businesses that handle used tires. Most of what we collect is about tires and shipments, not people. Here’s the full list:
How we use it
We use your information to:
- Run the tracking service — record handoffs, build tire passports, and generate your reports
- Work out disposal fees and prepare the filings you owe in each state
- Spot fraud — like the same tire being reported twice, or a load that never arrived
- Support you when something goes wrong, and tell you about changes that affect you
We don’t use your data for advertising, and we don’t sell it to anyone.
A note on custody records
Tirefax records are designed so history can’t be quietly rewritten — that’s the whole point of the product. When you log a handoff, that entry becomes a permanent part of the shipment’s record and the compliance filings built on it. We can delete your account and personal details, but handoff entries stay in the chain (with your personal details removed) so the record stays honest for everyone else in it.
How long we keep it
Account details: as long as your account is active, then deleted within 90 days of closing it. Tire and shipment records: as long as state regulations require us to keep them — usually three to seven years, depending on the state. Usage data: up to two years, then deleted or anonymized.
How we protect it
Your data is encrypted when it travels and when it’s stored. Access inside Tirefax is limited to people who need it to do their jobs, and every access is logged. If we ever have a breach that affects you, we’ll tell you promptly and plainly — what happened, what was exposed, and what we’re doing about it.
Your choices
You can always:
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correct anything that’s wrong
- Close your account and ask us to delete your personal details
- Opt out of marketing emails with one click
Email us at cto@tire.ai and we’ll handle it within 30 days. Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU), you may have additional rights under local law — we honor those too.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll email account holders and post the update here at least 14 days before it takes effect. The “last updated” date at the top always tells you the current version.
