ScanMyRoute is a delivery route optimization app built for drivers, couriers, and last-mile logistics professionals. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to the ScanMyRoute app on both Android and iOS.
Background Location Disclosure
ScanMyRoute collects location data to track your delivery route progress and automatically mark stops as completed when you arrive — even when the app is closed or not in use. This is required because drivers navigate inside Google Maps while ScanMyRoute runs in the background.
- Background location is collected only while you have an active route being tracked. Tracking stops as soon as the route is finished or you stop it manually.
- While tracking is active, a persistent notification is shown so you always know location is in use.
- Location data stays on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers, not sold, and not shared with third parties.
- Granting background location is optional. You can decline it or revoke it at any time in your device settings and still use the rest of the app; only automatic stop completion will be unavailable.
Data We Access
Camera and Photos
Used to scan shipping labels and delivery addresses. Text recognition runs entirely on your device (Google ML Kit on Android, Apple Vision on iOS). Images are processed locally and are never uploaded to any server.
Location, including background location
Used to track your progress along a delivery route and automatically mark stops as delivered when you arrive. Location is collected only while a route is actively being tracked, and it is stored locally on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers, never sold, and never shared with third parties.
Route History
Your completed routes, delivery metrics (mileage, fuel cost, drive times) and stop records are stored locally on your device. They are never uploaded or transmitted.
App Settings
Your preferences (measurement units, fuel economy, fuel price, dark mode) are stored locally on your device.
Purchase Information
In-app subscriptions are processed by Google Play Billing or the Apple App Store via RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives your anonymous purchase status to manage your Pro subscription. No credit card or financial data is collected by ScanMyRoute.
Geocoding
Address text is converted to map coordinates using the platform geocoder, which may send the address query to the operating system's geocoding service. No personal identifiers are attached to these queries.
Data We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to our servers.
- We do not sell or share your location or any other personal data with third parties.
- We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs.
- We do not use advertising SDKs or show ads.
- We do not have a user account or login system.
- We do not access your contacts, messages, calendar, or files without your explicit action.
Data Storage and Security
All route data, settings, and history are stored locally on your device using the operating system's private app storage. Data never leaves your device except for address geocoding queries (which contain no personal identifiers) and purchase verification (handled by Google Play, the Apple App Store, and RevenueCat).
Uninstalling the app deletes all locally stored data.
Third-Party Services
- Google Play Billing / Apple App Store / RevenueCat: Processes subscription purchases. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
- Google Maps: Launched as a separate app for turn-by-turn navigation. Google Maps handles its own data collection per Google's privacy policy.
- Platform geocoder: Address-to-coordinate conversion may use the operating system's geocoding service. No personal data is sent.
- On-device text recognition: Google ML Kit (Android) and Apple Vision (iOS) perform label scanning entirely on your device.
Data Deletion
You can delete all your data at any time by clearing route history from the History or Settings screen in the app, or by uninstalling the app, which removes all locally stored data. There is no server-side data to delete because we do not store your data on any server.
Children's Privacy
ScanMyRoute is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. The app is a professional tool for delivery drivers and logistics workers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
