Track Drive Mileage
Data & Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 25, 2025
Last Updated: October 2, 2026
Developer: Dead Center Apps LLC
App: Track Drive Mileage (com.deadcenterapps.mileagetrackexpense)
Privacy Summary: Your trips, fuel logs and receipt photos are stored only on your device. We (Dead Center Apps) never receive or store your mileage data, and no account is required. The free version shows optional rewarded video ads through Google AdMob, which collects limited device data as described below. Full Version owners never see ads.
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
Data We Do NOT Collect
Track Drive Mileage does not collect any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers
- Financial account information (credit cards, bank accounts)
- Device hardware identifiers such as IMEI or serial number
- Browsing history
- Contacts, calendar, or other device data
- Crash logs or diagnostic data sent to our own 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.
- Google AdMob (Advertising – free version only): When you choose to watch a short video to unlock a report export, Google AdMob loads and shows the ad. AdMob may collect and process your device’s advertising ID, IP address and approximate location, device information, interactions with ads, and diagnostic data in order to deliver, measure and personalize ads and to prevent fraud. This data is collected and shared with Google for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention; it is encrypted in transit. Users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first and can change their choice at any time in Settings > Ad Privacy Choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s Google settings. Learn more: How Google uses information from apps that use its services. Ads are never shown to Full Version owners.
- Google Play Billing (Purchases): The optional one-time Full Version upgrade is purchased through Google Play. Google processes the payment; we never receive your card or bank details. The app only asks Google Play whether your account owns the Full Version so it can unlock features (including after a reinstall).
- OpenStreetMap (Route maps – Full Version): When you open a trip’s route map, map tiles are downloaded from OpenStreetMap servers, which receive your IP address and the map area being viewed, as with any website. Your trip data is not sent.
- Waze / Google Maps (Navigation): If you tap Navigate, the destination you enter is handed to the Waze or Google Maps app, which handle it under their own privacy policies.
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).

Data Retention
