Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

1. Who can use TripTracker

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required where you live, to use TripTracker. If you use it for a business, you confirm you're allowed to accept these Terms for that business.

2. What the app does

TripTracker records trips using your device's GPS and sensors, and can start or stop trips automatically based on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, location or motion. It shows maps, statistics, and mileage and tax reports, and lets you export, import and back up your trips.

GPS, sensors and automatic triggers aren't perfect. Trips can be missed, cut short, recorded with gaps, or show the wrong distance, duration or route. Always check your records before you rely on them.

3. Driving safety

Never set up or use TripTracker while driving. Set it up before you start, or have a passenger do it. Follow traffic laws and road signs at all times. Maps, routes and parking directions in the app may be wrong or out of date and are not navigation instructions.

4. Mileage and tax reports are not advice

Mileage logs, tax reports, reimbursement totals and rate presets (including IRS standard mileage rates) are provided for convenience only. They are not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice, and we don't guarantee that any tax authority, employer or insurer will accept them.

Rates and rules change. You are responsible for checking the figures, keeping the records your situation requires, and getting professional advice where needed.

5. Free plan, trial and Premium

TripTracker has a free plan with some limits (for example, a daily cap on automatic trips) and ads.

New installs get a 7-day Premium trial. The trial needs no payment details and simply ends; it never turns into a paid plan by itself.

Premium is sold through Google Play as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
• You can cancel anytime in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. Premium stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Payments, renewals and refunds are handled by Google Play under Google's policies. We can't issue refunds directly.
• "Lifetime" means for as long as we offer and support TripTracker, on the Google account used to buy it.

We may change which features are free or Premium, or change prices. Price changes for existing subscriptions follow Google Play's notice rules.

6. Your data

Your trips are yours. They are stored on your device, and you can export or delete them anytime.

Because data lives on your device, it can be lost if the device is lost, reset or damaged, or if the app is uninstalled. Optional Google Drive backup and file exports help, but you are responsible for keeping your own backups.

How we handle data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.

7. Local web server and sharing

If you turn on the local web server, anyone on the same Wi-Fi network who knows the address can view your trip data while it's running. Only use it on networks you trust, and turn it off when you're done. You are responsible for any files you export or share.

8. Third-party services

TripTracker uses services from other companies, including Google Play (billing), Google Maps and Mapbox (maps), OpenStreetMap Nominatim (place names), Open-Meteo (weather), Google Drive (optional backup) and Google AdMob (ads). Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, and we aren't responsible for them or for their availability.

9. Acceptable use

Don't use TripTracker to track another person without their knowledge and consent, or to break any law. Don't copy, resell, reverse-engineer or modify the app, or try to get around Premium limits or purchases, except where the law allows it.

10. Ownership

The app, its design, code and branding belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use TripTracker on devices you own or control, under these Terms and Google Play's terms. Open-source components are covered by their own licences.

11. No warranty

TripTracker is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose, including any tax, business or legal purpose.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data, lost profits, rejected tax claims, fines, accidents or injuries arising from your use of TripTracker. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for TripTracker in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country where you live. You keep all the mandatory consumer protections that the laws of your country give you.

14. Ending your use

You can stop using TripTracker at any time by uninstalling it (cancel any subscription in Google Play first). We may suspend or end access if you seriously break these Terms, or stop offering the app or a feature, with notice where reasonably possible.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the app changes. The effective date above shows the latest version. For significant changes we'll let you know in the app, and we may ask you to accept them again. Continuing to use TripTracker after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Who is responsible

Sanket Apps, the developer of TripTracker, is responsible for the data described in this policy. Contact: sanket1biz@gmail.com.

Stored on your device

Trips, routes, GPS points, tags, vehicles, odometer readings, parking spots, reports and settings are stored in the app's private storage on your device. We don't run servers that store your trips.

Permissions

• Location (including background): records trip routes, even when the screen is off.
• Nearby devices (Bluetooth): detects when you connect to your car to start trips automatically.
• Notifications: shows trip status and controls.
• Activity recognition and sensors: helps detect driving and improve accuracy, where enabled.

You can change any of these in Android settings. Some features stop working without them.

Sent to other services

• Maps (Google Maps, Mapbox): map tiles are loaded for the area you're viewing. These providers may receive your IP address, device details and the map area.
• Place names (OpenStreetMap Nominatim): trip start and end coordinates are sent to look up addresses.
• Weather (Open-Meteo): a trip's location and time are sent to fetch the weather for that trip.
• Google Drive backup (optional, off until you sign in): a backup of your trip data is saved to a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive. Only TripTracker can access that folder; we can't see it.
• Purchases (Google Play): Google handles payments. We only receive whether you have Premium.
• Ads (Google AdMob, free plan only): Google may use your device's advertising ID and general device information to show and measure ads. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in Android settings.
• Feedback (only when you submit it): your message, rating, app version and device diagnostics (device model, Android version, battery, network, memory, storage and permission status) are sent to a private Google Sheet the developer reads.
• Android backup: if Google backup is on for your device, Android may include app settings and data in your device backup under Google's policies.

Local web server

When you turn it on, your trip data can be viewed by devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Nothing is sent over the internet by this feature.

What we never do

• Sell or rent your personal data.
• Require a login or account.
• Upload your trip history to our own servers.
• Collect usage analytics on how you use the app's features.

Your choices

Export or delete trips anytime in the app. Uninstalling removes the data on your device. To remove your Google Drive backup, use Settings → Backup → Delete Drive backup (or Google Drive → Settings → Manage apps → TripTracker → Delete hidden app data). Children under 13 should not use TripTracker.

Your rights

• Access, correction and deletion: you can ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it. In practice, the only data we hold is feedback you chose to send.
• Withdrawing consent: you can stop optional sharing at any time, for example by turning off Google Drive backup in the app or ads personalisation in Android settings.
• Complaints: if you live in the EU, the UK or another place with data protection laws, you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Feedback submissions are kept only as long as needed to handle them, and are deleted on request. To make any request, email sanket1biz@gmail.com.
