Privacy first

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

Routio is built so your driving data stays yours. We don't require an account, we don't run ad or analytics trackers, and your drives are never sold or sent to our servers.

The short version

Location data

To detect and record your drives, Routio uses your device's location in the foreground and background. This location data is used solely to log trips, calculate mileage, and draw your routes on the map. It is processed on your device and stored in the app's local database. If you enable iCloud sync, it is also stored in your personal iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit private database) so your drives appear on your other devices. This data is never transmitted to Routio's servers and is never shared with or sold to third parties. You can disable background tracking at any time in iOS Settings, and iCloud sync in the app's Settings.

Purchases & subscriptions

Subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store and managed with RevenueCat, our subscription infrastructure provider. When you start a trial or subscribe, RevenueCat processes your purchase and receives the purchase event together with an anonymous, app-generated identifier used to keep track of your subscription status across your devices. This identifier is not linked to your real-world identity (there is no account) and is used only to deliver the features you paid for. Apple processes the payment itself; Routio never sees your card or billing details. See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy.

Analytics & tracking

Routio does not include third-party advertising SDKs, and does not track you across other apps or websites. We do not build advertising profiles. No identifier is used for tracking as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

Data retention & deletion

Because your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud, you are in full control of it. You can delete any drive in the app, export your data, or remove all data by deleting the app and clearing Routio's data from iCloud in iOS Settings. We hold no copy to delete on our side.

Children

Routio is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update this page and revise the date above.
