What your mileage app collects about you

A mileage app knows where you go all day. Here’s what eight of them say they collect, in their own App Store privacy labels, read on October 24, 2026.

The labels, side by side

Apple requires a privacy label, written by the developer, for every new app and update. These are the parts that matter most for an app that follows your car: what’s used to track you, what happens to your location, and what else is tied to who you are.

What each label says is linked to you

Summarized from each app’s privacy label on the US App Store, October 24, 2026. Labels also say why each kind of data is collected, such as app functionality, analytics or advertising. They change, so each app’s current label is on its App Store page, linked under Sources. Tenths’ label is for an app on pre-order until January 2, 2027.

How to read a label

Used to track you
Apple’s term for linking what an app collects about you with other companies’ data for targeted ads or ad measurement, or sharing it with a data broker.
Linked to you
Tied to your identity, through an account, your device or other details.
Not linked to you
Collected, but stripped of what identifies you, with the developer agreeing not to tie it back.
Data Not Collected
Nothing leaves your phone for the developer or its partners to keep, apart from narrow exceptions Apple allows, like an optional feedback form. Data that stays on your device doesn’t count as collected.

Each label is the developer’s own account of what its app does. Apple requires labels and asks developers to keep them accurate, but a label isn’t an audit.

Why location is the one to watch

A year of drives is a map of your life: where you live and work, which clients you see, when you go to the doctor or the gym.

Tied to your name and email, it’s some of the most personal data a phone can hold. Before you pick a mileage app, ask where your drives are kept and who else can see them.

Driving data has value

Data from drivers is worth something to other businesses. Gridwise, for one, also runs Gridwise Analytics, a gig-driving dataset it says is built from “millions of anonymized location, trip, and earnings records” from ride-hail and delivery drivers, and offers to gig platforms, financial services firms, merchants and autonomous vehicle fleets.

What Tenths does

You can check any app yourself. Turn on App Privacy Report in Settings › Privacy & Security, and your iPhone lists the web domains each app has contacted over the past seven days.
