Your drives are yours.
Four promises we built into the app
These aren't policy fine print — they're how the software is architected. It couldn't work another way if we wanted it to.
Your data starts on your phone
Your drives are saved on your phone, and the app does not send them to us (your phone's map service turns each drive's start and end into an address). Recording a drive works offline.
We don't sell your location
Full stop. Your movements are not a product. We don't run ad networks, we don't broker location data, and there's no third party quietly riding along.
No cross-app tracking
Drive detection runs on your phone, and the map pictures come from OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data) — never through an ad platform. There is no advertising ID and no crash reporting. Your driving isn't feeding a profile of you.
No account needed to drive
The app has no account and no sign-in: install it and drive. The 99¢ unlock, when available, goes through your phone's app store.
How your data actually flows
"Local-first" isn't a slogan — it's the design. Here's the path your trips take.
- 1
Recorded on your device
When you drive, the trip is captured and saved directly in the app's private storage on your phone.
- 2
Your phone is the source of truth
Everything you see — history, costs, stats — is computed from the copy on your device. No internet connection required.
- 3
It stops there
The drive you just finished sits on your phone and we do not receive it. Your phone's own backup can keep a copy. On Android, if Google backup is on and the phone has a screen lock, your drives, cars and typed pump prices go into it, encrypted with your screen lock so Google can't read them; the routes never do. On iPhone, if iCloud Backup is on, it includes the app's data the way it does any app's. That copy is in your own Google or Apple account, and we have no access to it.

Delete means delete
Remove a trip and it's gone from your phone. A phone backup made earlier (Google backup on Android, iCloud Backup on iPhone) may still hold it until that backup is replaced. Delete the app and every drive on the phone goes with it.
What we never do
None of this is a setting you have to find and switch on. We do not sell or share your data for advertising, so there is no sharing to opt out of. The app does not send your drives to us at all; the only other copy is your phone's own backup, described above.
What leaves your phone
Nothing about you. Here is everything the app goes online for.
The app sends no crash reports and counts nothing about how you use it.
That is the complete list. If it grows, this page changes in the same release.
Built to the standards that matter
Privacy law, handled the boring, correct way.
Watch every mile.
A driving app that respects your location shouldn't be the exception. With LiveGasCost, it's the whole point.
