A driving app knows where you live, work and go. Odo keeps that on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, needs no account, and shows no ads.

## Why it matters

Location history is some of the most personal data there is. You should be able to record every drive without handing it to a company, and without wondering who else can see it.

## Your data stays yours

Trips, routes, fuel, service and expense logs are stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud account.

- Your trips, routes and logs are never sent to our servers
- iCloud sync uses your own Apple ID and Apple’s infrastructure
- Export everything, or delete it by date range, any time

## No account, no ads

Install Odo and start driving. There’s nothing to sign up for.

- No account or sign-up needed
- Friends, if you use it, signs in with Apple
- No ads and no advertising identifier
- No cross-app tracking; anonymous install and usage counts only

## Sharing only when you choose

Nothing about your location is shared unless you start it.

- Live position shared only during a Convoy you joined or an Emergency SOS you start
- Friends see daily totals, never routes or places
- Hide Start & End trims the start and end of routes on shared cards, reels and exported files
- Location tags are removed from trip photos Odo stores

## Why Odo uses your location

GPS is how Odo measures your speed and records your route.

- Speed, distance and the route of each trip
- Background location lets trips record with the screen off and start automatically
- You can change location access any time in iOS Settings

## Questions and answers

### Does Odo sell or share my location data?

No. Your trips and routes are never sent to our servers, so there is nothing to sell. Your live position is shared only during a Convoy you joined or an Emergency SOS you start.

### Do I need an account to use Odo?

No. Odo works without an account or sign-up. Only the optional Friends feature uses Sign in with Apple.

### Does Odo have ads or trackers?

No ads, no advertising identifier and no cross-app tracking. Odo counts installs and usage anonymously to improve the app.

### Where are my trips stored?

On your iPhone, and in your own iCloud account if iCloud is on, so they sync to your other devices. You can export or delete them whenever you like.

### Does Odo collect my data or show ads?

Your trips, routes, fuel logs, and maintenance records stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud, never to our servers. The app contains zero ads and no advertising identifier. It does use Google Analytics for Firebase to count installs, app opens, screen views and a few feature-usage events anonymously; that never includes your location, speed or trips. Your live position is shared only while you're in a Convoy you joined or during an Emergency SOS alert you start, and only with the people involved. There is no account, email or sign-up for the app itself. The optional Friends feature uses Sign in with Apple and uploads only your display name, username, optional photo and daily driving totals.
