Privacy Policy

Who we are and what this policy covers

This policy explains how the developer of Milealot (“we,” “us”) handles information in connection with the Milealot website at milealot.com and the Milealot app for iPhone. We do not sell personal information, we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as California law uses that term, and we do not use it for targeted ads.

Website: no accounts, no tracking cookies

No sign-up. You do not create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or location.
No cookies from us. The site’s own code sets no cookies. There are no ads, social media buttons, embedded videos, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting.
Cookieless visit counts. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits: which pages are opened, how fast they load, the referring site, and the country and device type, as totals. It sets no cookies, does not build a profile of you, and does not follow you to other sites. It is not used for visitors from the European Union. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Almost nothing loaded from other companies. Pages, styles, scripts, fonts, and files come from our own domain. The only exception is Cloudflare’s small visit-count script described above. Your browser contacts another company’s website only if you click a link to it.
Hosting. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives your IP address and standard request data (the address requested, the time, your browser and device type, and the page that linked to us) to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. We do not run our own web server and do not keep access logs ourselves. In rare cases, for example when Cloudflare has to check that a visitor is not a bot, it may set a strictly necessary security cookie that is not used for tracking.

Calculators and printable logs

Every calculation runs in your browser. The numbers you type (miles, gallons, gas prices, rates) are not sent to us or to anyone else.
Some calculators may remember your last inputs or your unit choice in your browser’s local storage on this device, so you do not have to type them again. You can remove them at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.
The address bar may show your inputs after a “#” so you can bookmark or share a result. Browsers do not send that part of the address to the server.
Printable logs (PDF and CSV files) are plain files from our own domain. Downloading one sends us nothing beyond the standard request data described above, and what you write in them stays with you.

App: your data stays on your iPhone and in your iCloud

The Milealot app for iPhone is not in the App Store yet. This section describes version 1.0 as it is being built. We will check it against the final build and the App Store privacy label before release.

The app has no account and no sign-in, and we do not run a server that stores your records. It contains no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no third-party crash-reporting code. We do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

Information	Where it is kept	Can we see it?
Your cars, fill-ups, service records, expenses, reminders, notes, and photos of receipts or cars	On your device and, if iCloud is on for Milealot, in your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit)	No. Your private iCloud data is controlled by your Apple Account, and we have no access to it
Drives you record, and their routes if you use GPS distance	On your device and in your private iCloud database. Drives are never shared with other people, even on a shared car	No
Backup copies	On your device and in your iCloud. If you turn on a weekly copy to the Files app or a cloud folder you choose (such as Dropbox), a copy is also saved there	No. A cloud folder you choose is covered by that provider’s own terms
Reminders	Local notifications scheduled on your device	No. They are not sent from a server
Purchases	Processed by Apple through the App Store	No payment details. The app only receives confirmation from Apple that a purchase is active
Crash reports and usage statistics	Collected by Apple, and only if you chose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings	Only as totals and crash reports that do not identify you. We use them to fix bugs
Exports (PDF, CSV)	Created on your device	Only if you choose to send one to someone, including us

Location, camera, photos, and notifications

The app asks for each permission only when you use the feature that needs it. You can turn any of them off in the Settings app.

Location, while you use the app. If you choose GPS distance for drives, the app uses your location during a drive you record, to measure the miles. It does not track you between drives. Separately, when you tap “Use My Location,” the app reads your location once to find nearby gas stations or your state. That one-time location is not stored. Without location access, you can enter miles from your odometer and pick a station or state by hand.
Camera. Used only when you scan a vehicle identification number (VIN) or a receipt.
Photos. You pick photos through Apple’s photo picker. The app sees only the photos you choose, not your whole library.
Notifications. Used for your maintenance reminders.

You can share a car with people you invite, such as family members, through iCloud sharing. The people you invite can see that car’s records and add their own, and each record shows who added it. Service notes marked “only you” and the drives each person records stay in that person’s private iCloud and are not shared. You can stop sharing at any time. Shared records are stored and delivered by Apple’s iCloud, and we cannot see them.

Services the app connects to

Apple iCloud, to sync and back up your records and to share a car, if you use these features.
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), to decode a VIN and check your car for open recalls. The app sends only the VIN or the make, model, and year. It sends no name, account, or other details about you. Like any web server, NHTSA’s servers receive your IP address.
Apple Maps, to find nearby gas stations and to name places on a recorded drive. These requests go to Apple, under Apple’s privacy policy.

When you email us

If you write to support@milealot.com, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you attach. We use this only to answer you and to fix problems. We keep support emails only as long as we need them for that, unless the law requires longer, and we delete them sooner if you ask.

We use the little information we receive to run and secure the site, answer support requests, fix problems, and comply with the law. We do not sell it, and we share it only:

with service providers that help us run Milealot, such as Cloudflare (website hosting) and our email provider, under their own terms and privacy policies;
with Apple, as needed for iCloud storage, sharing, and App Store purchases, under Apple’s terms and privacy policy;
if the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of people or of Milealot;
as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply.

Your choices and rights

Website data on your device: clear this site’s data in your browser settings to remove saved inputs.
App data: delete records in the app, or delete the app. To remove its iCloud data, open the Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud and its storage management screen, choose Milealot, and delete its data (menu names differ between iOS versions). To stop syncing, turn off iCloud for Milealot.
Permissions: turn off location, camera, photos, or notifications for Milealot in the Settings app.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control: we do not track visitors across websites, so we treat every visit as if these signals were on.
Access, correction, and deletion: we hold no app data, so the only personal information we normally have about you is email you sent us. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know, access, correct, or delete it. Email support@milealot.com from the same address you used to write to us. We verify requests that way and answer within the time the law requires. We will never treat you differently for using these rights.

Children

Milealot is for drivers and car owners. The site and the app are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has emailed us, write to support@milealot.com and we will delete the message.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS. App data is protected by your iPhone’s security and, if you use iCloud, by Apple’s iCloud security. No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure, so protect your device with a passcode and keep your Apple Account secure.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the “Updated” date at the top changes too. For material changes, we will say so on the site, and in the app once it is released, before they take effect.
