MileTrack Privacy Policy

Overview

MileTrack is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your mileage data is yours and should stay on your device. We do not operate backend servers for your trip data, and we do not collect personal information to create accounts.

No Account Required

MileTrack does not require account creation. There is no:

• Email address collection
• Password or authentication system
• User profiles or personal information storage
• Login or sign-up process

You can start using MileTrack immediately after download without providing any personal information.

Data Collection and Storage

What We Access (On Your Device Only)

To provide automatic trip detection, MileTrack requests access to:

Motion Activity

• Purpose: Detect when you're driving vs. not driving
• Used for: Auto Mode trip detection
• Storage: Processed locally, not stored permanently

Location Services

• Purpose: Calculate trip distance and estimate start/end locations
• Used for: Distance measurement during detected drives, optional address labels
• Storage: Only start/end coordinates and calculated distance are saved locally
• Note: Continuous location tracking only occurs during detected drives

What We Store (Locally on Your Device)

All data is stored exclusively on your device in local files:

Trip Data

• Trip distance (miles/kilometers)
• Trip date and duration
• Optional start/end location labels (city/area names)
• Optional category, client, project code, and notes you enter
• Source (auto-detected or manual)
• Confirmation status

User Preferences

• Categories, clients, and rules you create
• Unit preferences (miles/kilometers)
• Auto Mode settings

Important: Auto-detected trips are only considered "confirmed" after you review and categorize them in the Inbox. Unconfirmed trips can be deleted without affecting your records.

What We Do NOT Collect or Transmit

MileTrack does not collect, store, or transmit to external servers:

• Your name, email, phone number, or any personal identifiers
• Your precise location coordinates (beyond start/end of trips stored locally)
• Your complete location history or route paths
• Your device identifiers for tracking

• Analytics or usage data

Children's Privacy

MileTrack does not knowingly collect any data from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, our service is inherently compliant with children's privacy requirements.

Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Access: You have complete access to all your data within the app
• Correction: You can edit any trip details directly in the app
• Deletion: You can delete individual trips or all data at any time
• Export: You can export your data to CSV or PDF formats

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, through the app or App Store update notes.

Data Security

• All data is stored locally using iOS's secure file system
• Files are protected by iOS device encryption
• No data transmission to external servers eliminates most remote security risks
• Regular app updates address any discovered vulnerabilities

International Users

Since MileTrack stores all data locally on your device and does not transmit data to servers, there are no international data transfers to disclose.
