Driving Hours Tracker Privacy Policy

Driving Hours Tracker is an iPhone app for parents to log a teen's supervised practice driving. This policy covers the app and its Lock Screen display. In short: we don't collect your data. Your log stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.

1. No account, no ads, no analytics

Driving Hours Tracker has no sign-up, no ads and no analytics. It has no third-party code in it, so no other company receives data from the app. We don't sell or share data, because we don't have any.

2. Where your log is kept

Your log (drives, routes, the learner's name and permit details, and supervisors) is stored on your iPhone and, when iCloud is on, in your own iCloud account. Apple stores iCloud data; we can't see it, and we never receive it. With iCloud off, the log stays on your iPhone and in its backups.

3. Sharing a log with your family

You can share a log with the other parent or your teen. The people you invite see and change the same log through Apple's iCloud sharing, each with their own Apple Account. The shared log stays in iCloud; it doesn't pass through us. You can stop sharing, or leave a log someone shared with you, at any time in the app's Settings.

4. Location

Driving Hours Tracker uses your location only between Start and End of a practice drive, and only with your permission (“While Using the App”). It uses it to time the drive, record the route and distance, and work out sunset and sunrise where you drove, so night minutes are counted right. The route is saved with the drive in your log. The first drive also sets your home area, for the sunset times of drives you type in later.

You can turn off route recording in the app's Settings. Drives are then timed only, and night minutes use your home area's sunset. We never receive your location.

5. Supervisors and state forms

Supervisors' names, relationship and licence details are kept in your log, only to fill in your log and state forms. Details that a form needs but the log doesn't, such as a date of birth for Florida's form or an address for New York's, are asked for when you make the form and are not kept. The app never asks for a Social Security number.

6. Network connections

The app connects to the internet only for these:

iCloud, to keep your log in your iCloud and share it with the people you invite. Apple runs iCloud, and Apple's privacy policy covers it.
The App Store, for the one-time purchase. Apple processes it. We don't receive your payment details.
State forms. When you make a state form, the app downloads the blank form from the state's official website. The download contains nothing about you.
Rules updates. About once a week the app downloads a small file of state rules from this website, so it can follow rule changes without an app update. The app sends nothing about you or your log. Like any website, the server that delivers the file sees your device's IP address; we don't use it to identify you.

Links you tap in the app, such as a state's official page or this policy, open in Safari. Those websites have their own privacy policies.

7. Exports and printing

The log PDF, filled state forms and the CSV backup are made on your iPhone. They leave it only when you share or print them, and only to the place you choose.

8. Reminders

Practice and test-date reminders, and the “Still driving?” question when the phone stops moving during a drive, are scheduled on your iPhone. No server sends them.

9. Crash reports

If you turned on “Share With App Developers” in your iPhone's privacy settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. They don't contain your log.

10. Deleting your data

You can delete any drive in the app. Deleted drives stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days, then they're gone. To delete everything, delete the app, then delete its iCloud data: in the Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, then Manage Storage, choose Driving Hours Tracker and delete its data. Your iPhone backups keep a copy until they're replaced.

11. App Store privacy label

The Driving Hours Tracker privacy label on the App Store is “Data Not Collected”.

12. Teens and children

Driving Hours Tracker is made for parents of teens learning to drive, not for children. A parent may enter the teen's name and permit details, or invite the teen to a shared log. That information stays on the family's devices and in their iCloud. We don't collect it.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top.
