Drive IQ is built to help drivers and travelers make smarter decisions before, during, and after a trip. This Privacy Policy explains how Drive IQ collects, uses, and protects information when you use our app, website, and related services.

By using Drive IQ, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Drive IQ may collect the following types of information:

  • Location information: Used to show your position, calculate routes, display nearby stops, provide route intelligence, and support arrival guidance.
  • Route and destination information: Such as searched locations, selected destinations, trip routes, route preferences, and stop selections.
  • Device and app information: Such as device type, operating system, app version, crash logs, diagnostics, and performance data.

  • Subscription or purchase information: If you subscribe to Drive IQ Plus or other paid features, purchase information may be processed through Apple and/or our payment partners.
  • Contact information: If you contact support, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide maps, GPS location, route planning, and navigation-related features.
  • Calculate route scores, arrival insight, weather-aware planning, and stop recommendations.
  • Help users discover nearby food, fuel, parking, attractions, parks, trails, and travel-related places.
  • Improve app performance, reliability, safety, and user experience.
  • Support subscriptions, account access, customer support, and app operations.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, abuse, or security concerns.

3. Location Data

Drive IQ uses location data to power core features such as GPS positioning, route planning, nearby recommendations, arrival intelligence, travel discovery, and weather-aware trip context.

You can control location permissions through your device settings. If location access is disabled, some Drive IQ features may not work properly.

4. Local Recommendations and Sponsored Results

Drive IQ may show local recommendations such as food, fuel, parking, attractions, stores, campgrounds, trails, and other travel-related places. Some recommendations may be sponsored or promoted.

Sponsored recommendations will be labeled where required and are intended to be relevant to your current context, such as location, route, time of day, travel mode, or search intent.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us operate Drive IQ, such as mapping, routing, analytics, crash reporting, hosting, payments, customer support, and app infrastructure.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, safety concerns, fraud prevention, or to protect our rights and users.

6. Third-Party Services

Drive IQ may use third-party services for maps, routing, location search, analytics, payments, crash reporting, app hosting, and other functionality. These services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

Examples may include mapping providers, app store payment systems, analytics tools, hosting providers, and other technology partners used to operate the app.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide Drive IQ, improve the app, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security.

Some route or preference information may be stored locally on your device to improve the app experience.

8. Your Choices

You may be able to:

  • Disable or limit location access in your device settings.
  • Clear app data or delete the app from your device.
  • Manage subscriptions through your Apple App Store account settings.
  • Contact us to request help with privacy-related questions.

9. Children’s Privacy

Drive IQ is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date above. Continued use of Drive IQ after changes means you accept the updated policy.
