Commute: Trip Tracker is an iOS app developed by Mathipu.
This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the app.
Information We Collect
Commute uses location data to track your trips.
- Location data is collected only while a commute is active
- Background location is used so trips keep recording when your phone is locked or the app is in the background
- No account, sign-up, or personal identity information is required to use the app
How Your Data Is Used
Your data is used only to provide core functionality:
- Recording your route
- Measuring time and distance
- Displaying your trip history
- Resolving the start and end of each trip into a readable place name (see Third-Party Services below)
Data Storage
Your data is stored locally on your device.
If you are signed into iCloud, your trips are automatically synced via iCloud across your devices, into your private iCloud database. Only you can access it. You can disable this in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Commute.
We do not operate any servers. Your trip and location data is never sent to us.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties.
Third-Party Services
- Apple Maps & geocoding — Commute uses Apple’s MapKit to display maps and Apple’s geocoding service to translate your trip’s start and end coordinates into readable place names. These requests are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy.
- iCloud — if enabled on your device, your data is synced through Apple’s iCloud, also under Apple’s privacy policy.
Commute does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Data Security
Your data remains under your control on your device and within Apple’s ecosystem.
Your Choices
You can:
- Start or stop commute tracking at any time from the app
- Change or revoke location permissions in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Commute
- Disable iCloud sync for Commute in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Commute
- Delete a trip at any time from the History tab
Children’s Privacy
Commute is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page along with a new “Last updated” date.
