Mileage Tracker & Log - MileIQ

"The App runs in the background of your device to detect drives based on the movement of your device, so there is no need to press a start or stop button. MileIQ collects precise geolocation information to provide you with drive data when you are logged in to the App and have location services turned on and available."

The app continuously tracks precise geolocation in the background without requiring any user interaction, running passively to detect all movement and drives.

"We may disclose your PII to third party service providers and trusted third parties (including sponsors and marketing partners) that assist us in providing User support, communicating with Users, and promoting our services, as well as third party service providers that provide other services to us relating to our services and/or the Service."

Personal information is shared with a broad range of third parties including sponsors and marketing partners, not just essential service providers.

"We may, however, share certain advertising identifiers and cookie information with our third-party partners to deliver interest-based ads, optimize ad campaign performance, and attribute installs. For mobile app ads, you can reset your Advertising Identifier and, depending on your device, select to opt out of interest-based ads (Android) or turn on the Limit Ad Tracking setting (iOS)."

The company shares advertising identifiers and cookie data with third-party partners, enabling cross-context behavioral advertising and install attribution tracking across services.

"We may modify this Policy at any time upon notice to you. The notice will be either by an announcement in the App or on the Website or by sending an email to your primary email address. Your continued use after the effective date of changes to this Policy will be deemed to be your acknowledgement that the updated Policy will apply."

The company can change the privacy policy at any time, and continued use is treated as acceptance. While 30 days notice is given for significant changes, the definition of "significant" is at their discretion.

"Thereafter, MileIQ will keep PII for as long as reasonably necessary: (i) to respond to any queries from Users; (ii) to demonstrate MileIQ treats Users fairly; (iii) for ordinary business continuity procedures; or (iv) to comply with any applicable laws. MileIQ deletes PII within a reasonable period after it is no longer needed for the purposes set out in this Policy."

Retention periods are vaguely defined with broad justifications like "business continuity" and "demonstrating fair treatment," with no concrete timelines for deletion after account closure.

"Additional telemetry around how you use the App (what buttons are/aren't pushed, etc.) is collected to provide troubleshooting and improve your experience. Unique Apple/Android mobile device identifier. Deidentified Information may include: (i) device type, (ii) device operating system, (iii) internet browser type, (iv) internet service provider, (v) referring/exit pages, (vi) date/time stamp, and (vii) clickstream information."

The app collects unique device identifiers, detailed usage telemetry tracking every button press, and extensive device/browser information beyond what's strictly needed for mileage tracking.

"Account, Named Locations and Custom Purposes deletions can be requested via support at MileIQ Support. Deletion requests will be honored within 30 days of receipt acknowledgement by our support team."

While drive data can be deleted in-app, account-level deletions and certain data types require contacting support and waiting up to 30 days, creating friction in the deletion process.
