Privacy Summary: Track Drive Mileage stores ALL data locally on your device only. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your data on external servers. You have complete control over your data at all times.

Data We Collect

Location Data (Precise & Approximate)

Track Drive Mileage uses your device's GPS to record trip start and end locations for mileage tracking. This is the core functionality of the app. Location data is stored exclusively on your device in a local database and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Type: Precise location (GPS coordinates) and approximate location (addresses via geocoding)
Purpose: Calculating mileage distance and recording trip start/end addresses
Storage: Local device database only
Shared: No - never shared with any third party
Required: Yes - this is essential for the app's core mileage tracking function

Camera / Photos (Fuel Receipt Scanning)

The app can use your device camera to photograph fuel receipts for OCR (optical character recognition) scanning. Photos are processed locally on your device to extract fuel cost information. Photos are used temporarily during the scanning process and are not permanently stored by the app.

Type: Camera images (fuel receipts)
Purpose: Extracting fuel cost data from receipts via OCR
Storage: Temporary/ephemeral - processed locally and not permanently retained
Shared: No - never shared with any third party
Required: No - this is an optional feature; users can enter fuel data manually

Trip & Fuel Data

The app stores trip records (dates, times, distances, addresses, travel reasons) and fuel refueling logs (costs, gallons, odometer readings) that you enter or that are recorded during tracking. All of this data is stored locally on your device.

Type: User-entered trip and fuel expense data
Purpose: Providing trip history, expense reports, and mileage summaries
Storage: Local device database only
Shared: No - never shared with any third party

Financial account information (credit cards, bank accounts)
Device identifiers (IMEI, advertising ID, etc.)
Browsing history or app usage analytics
Contacts, calendar, or other device data
Crash logs or diagnostic data sent to external servers

Third-Party Services

Track Drive Mileage uses the following third-party services:

Google Play Services (Location): Used to access device GPS for location tracking. Google Play Services operates under Google's Privacy Policy.
Google ML Kit (Text Recognition - Unbundled): Used for on-device OCR processing of fuel receipts. The unbundled version processes text using Google Play Services on the device. No images or text are sent to external servers by the app.

Data Encryption & Security

All data is stored locally on your device and is protected by your device's built-in security features including:

Device screen lock (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, face unlock)
Android's built-in file system encryption
App sandboxing (other apps cannot access Track Drive Mileage data)

Any communication between the app and Google Play Services (for location) uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
