Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 4, 2026

Drivio ("we", "our", "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Data the App Uses

Apple defines "collect" as transmitting data off the device in a way that we or third parties can access beyond real-time use. By that definition, Drivio does not collect any data. The app does, however, read and store the following on your device so it can function:

Location (GPS). Read in the foreground and background to detect driving and record trip routes. Coordinates are written to the local database on your device and never transmitted to us.

Motion. Accelerometer and motion activity (walking, driving, stationary) are read on-device to detect trip starts and stops. Not transmitted.

Trip data. Start/end times, distances, routes, categories, and vehicle assignments are stored in a local database on your device.

Subscription status. If you subscribe, Apple handles payment processing. The app receives only your subscription status from Apple and stores it on-device. We do not receive payment details.

Photo library (optional). When you create a Journey, Drivio can request Photos library access to suggest images using their capture dates and available location metadata. With limited access, only the images you allow are available to this process. You can review the suggestions before saving, or use Add Photo to select images manually. Journey associations use Photos references (localIdentifier). Matching happens on-device; exporting or sharing a poster can include the photos you choose. Your own iCloud Photos settings are managed by Apple. You can change photo access in iOS Settings.

Face ID / biometric (optional). If you enable app lock, iOS performs authentication locally on the Secure Enclave. Drivio receives only a pass/fail result and never sees biometric data.

Widget data. Drivio's home-screen widget reads the most recent trip through an iOS App Group — a private, on-device container shared only with Drivio's own widget extension. Widget data never leaves your device.

2. Data We Collect in the App

None. Drivio has no backend server. We do not receive, store, or have access to any of your data.

3. Where Data Is Stored

Local-first. Drivio has no backend server. All trip data is stored on your device in a local database, and nothing is ever uploaded to us.

iCloud backup (optional). If you enable iCloud backup (Pro plan), your data is stored in your personal iCloud Drive account. We cannot access your iCloud data.

Live Share (Pro, optional). Live Share uses Apple's CloudKit. Public links can be viewed by anyone with the link and can end with a trip or after your selected time limit. Private shares can remain active across drives and show a parked state between trips. Stop a session in My Shares to stop updates; delete it to remove its CloudKit records. Network delays can affect when changes reach viewers. Sharing data is stored in your iCloud account. Drivio does not operate the server that stores these records. Recipients may retain information they have already viewed or saved.

No third-party data processors in the app. The Drivio app does not send your data to any third-party analytics, mapping, or advertising services. The only external services involved in the app are Apple's own (App Store for subscriptions, iCloud / CloudKit for optional backup and live sharing).

4. Location Permission

Drivio requires "Always Allow" location permission to detect trips automatically in the background. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings. If you revoke location access, trip detection will stop but your existing data remains on your device.

The blue location indicator appears when Drivio is actively using GPS.

5. Data Retention

Your trip data remains on your device until you delete it. You can delete individual trips or all data at any time from within the app. Uninstalling the app removes all local data.

6. Children's Privacy

Drivio is a general-audience app intended for drivers. The "4+" App Store age rating indicates the app contains no objectionable material — it does not mean Drivio is directed at children. As stated above, we do not collect any data from any user, regardless of age.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

8. Website Analytics

The landing page at drivio.to uses Google Analytics to understand website visits and interactions, including page views, scrolling, and outbound link clicks such as visits to the App Store. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes browser and device information, referral information, and website activity. We use these reports to improve the website. Google signals and advertising personalization signals are disabled in our website tag.

This website analytics is separate from the Drivio iOS app and does not access your trips, precise GPS routes, photos, or iCloud data. For more information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can block analytics using your browser's privacy tools or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
