MilO

Privacy policy

For the MilO app for Android and this website, milotriplog.top. In effect since 8 October 2026.

The short version

MilO has no account, no server, no ads and no analytics, and the app has no internet permission: it cannot send anything anywhere by itself. Your trips are kept on your phone. They leave it only in the ways listed below, each of which you start or switch on yourself, or Android does for you.

What the app keeps, on your phone

  • Your trips: when each started and ended, where (the positions and the street addresses), the distance, and whether it is Business or Personal; and the GPS points recorded along each trip.
  • Your settings: the truck's Bluetooth name and address, your work hours, the odometer readings you typed in, and the details the report prints: your name, company, vehicle, and your accountant's email address.
  • An event log of what the app did and when (Bluetooth changes, trips starting and ending, errors), so a missed trip can be explained. It holds no GPS positions.
  • Sounds you add for the app to play: a copy of each file you pick.

What leaves your phone, and how

  • Files you send or save yourself. The monthly report (a PDF and a CSV with your trips, their addresses and your details) is handed to your email app addressed to your accountant, and you press send. An export file holds all your data and is saved where you choose. The event log can be shared as a text file from the Log screen; it includes the names and Bluetooth addresses of your paired devices and any address you typed in.
  • Your own Android backup. If Google backup is switched on for your phone, Android copies MilO's trips, sent reports, settings and event log to your Google account, and back to a phone you set up with it. The GPS points along each trip go only to a new phone in a phone-to-phone transfer, not to the cloud. This is Android's backup, under your Google account; MilO does not run it.
  • Address lookup. To turn a trip's start and end into street addresses, MilO hands those two positions to your phone's own address-lookup service (Android's Geocoder). On most phones that service is Google's and works over the internet, under Google's terms.

Nothing else leaves the phone. MilO does not sell, share or collect any data, because there is nowhere for it to go.

The permissions it asks for, and why

  • Location, all the time: to record a drive while the screen is off and MilO is in the background, which is how every automatic trip is recorded.
  • Nearby devices (Bluetooth): to pair your truck and to notice when the phone connects to it or loses it.
  • Physical activity: to notice that the phone is in a moving vehicle, for the alert that a drive is not being recorded, and to switch GPS on again beside a parked truck.
  • Notifications: for the trip in progress, the monthly reminder and the alerts.
  • Running in the background, starting at boot, and no battery restrictions: so a trip can start when the truck connects with MilO closed.
  • Network state: only to know whether an address lookup can be done now. MilO opens no connection itself.

Deleting your data

Trips can be deleted one by one on the Trips screen. Uninstalling MilO deletes everything it keeps on the phone. A copy in your Google backup is managed in your Google account (Google, Backup), and reports you emailed are in your email.

milotriplog.top is a set of static pages served by Firebase Hosting, a Google service. Like any web server, it receives what your browser sends with each request, including your IP address, and Google keeps standard server logs.

Changes and questions

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date, and its history is public in the project's repository on GitHub. Questions can be raised there.
