Summary

KeptMiles is a local-first app. Your mileage data, journey history, and GPS tracking points are stored on your device and are not sent to any server. We don't have accounts, we don't collect personal data, and we don't sell anything to anyone.

What Data Stays on Your Device

• Journey records (start/end locations, distances, classification, purposes)
• GPS tracking points recorded during journeys
• Saved locations (home, workplace, clients)
• Vehicle details and user profile information
• Tax year mileage summaries

What Leaves Your Device

• Google Drive backup (optional, premium): If you choose to back up, an encrypted copy of your database is stored in your personal Google Drive app folder. Only you can access it.
• Reverse geocoding: GPS coordinates are sent to Android's built-in geocoding service to convert them into readable addresses. This uses Google's infrastructure under the hood.
• Entitlement check: On launch, the app fetches a small file from keptmiles.app to check beta/premium status. This request includes no personal data beyond your device's IP address.
• Google Play Billing: If you subscribe to Premium, Google handles the payment. We never see your payment details.

Location Data

KeptMiles uses GPS to track your journeys. Location data is stored locally and used only for mileage calculation and route display. We do not transmit location data to any server. Background location access is required for auto-detecting journeys while the app is not in the foreground.

Analytics

The keptmiles.app website uses cookie-free, privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are visited. No personal information is collected. The Android app does not include any analytics SDK.

Third-Party Services

• Google Play Services: Used for GPS location, activity recognition, and billing.
• Google Drive API: Used for optional cloud backup.
• OpenStreetMap (osmdroid): Used for displaying journey routes on maps. Map tile requests go to OpenStreetMap servers.

Data Deletion

Uninstalling the app deletes all local data. Google Drive backups can be deleted from your Drive settings. To request deletion of any server-side data, email support@keptmiles.app.
