Privacy Policy for DriveTracker

Location Data (Stored Locally Only)

DriveTracker is a location tracking application that requires access to your device's location services to function properly.

• Always Location Permission: The App requires "Always" location permission to track your driving routes even when the app is not actively in use. This is essential for the core functionality of continuous route recording.
• GPS Coordinates: The App stores precise GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and timestamp) during your recording sessions locally on your device.
• Route Information: The App stores your complete driving routes, including start/end points, waypoints, distance travelled, and duration locally on your device.

The only information we collect from our servers is:

• Device Identifiers: Device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers
• App Usage Data: Features used, session duration, and interaction patterns (via Firebase Analytics)
• Performance Data: Crash reports and app performance metrics

User Account Information

• Anonymous Authentication: We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication to provide basic user identification. No personal information (name, email, phone number) is required or collected during this process.
• Anonymous User ID: A randomly generated unique identifier is assigned to your device for analytics and future account migration purposes.

Purchase Information

• In-App Purchases: We use Apple's StoreKit 2 to process premium subscriptions and one-time purchases. We do not collect or store your payment information. All payment processing is handled securely by Apple.
