What information collected and how it is used
The Application does collect
information about your location from the Gps. It does not reveal your
current location to others however the location is stored in a
database that can be retrieved even when the application is no longer
on the platform.
The application doesn't rely on
cellular networks and doesn't require your phone to be on a network to
collect calculate or record the mileage. However using certain
features of the application such as mapping provided by Google, or
reverse geocoding will cause traffic on the network that may identify
your location.
For automatic mileage recording it
requires that your smart phone has a working Gps, or is connected to
the vehicle using a compatible working Bluetooth OBD scanner in the
vehicle. If you do not install an OBDII the OBD feature for
collecting mileage will not work
All information collected if for the
purpose of cataloging your mileage. No personal information is
collected. The application uses a Gps, it can record the location of
the phone and the time at the start, end and during a trip. The
information is recored to a database. The information is recorded for
your consumption. No part of the mileage detail is transmitted to the
developer.
