Privacy Policy for Körlogg

Last Updated: 30 September 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

A mileage log knows where you drive. That is exactly why Körlogg keeps it on your phone, and in your own iCloud if you choose, and never on a server of ours.

Körlogg is a mileage log app for drivers in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands, developed by a sole proprietor based in Sweden. We run no server, we never sell your data, we show no advertising, and your trips never reach us. They leave your device only if you export a report yourself or turn on iCloud sync, which stores them in your own iCloud account.

Location Data

Körlogg asks for location access in order to detect when you drive and to measure each trip. This is what happens with it:

  • Automatic detection ("Always" access): between trips the app only listens for significant movement and motion activity, which uses very little battery. When the phone appears to be in a moving car, the app records GPS positions until the car has been still for about three minutes. iOS shows the location indicator while this happens.
  • Manual logging ("While Using" access): if you prefer, you can start and stop recording yourself, or type trips in by hand with no location access at all.
  • Motion & Fitness: used only to recognise "in a vehicle" so that GPS can stay off the rest of the time.
  • Addresses are looked up on the device using Apple's geocoder. The route points of a trip are kept with the trip, so it can be shown on a map and a merged trip can be split at a stop. Deleting the trip deletes them.
  • Detour check (Netherlands): for a business or commute trip of a car on Dutch rules, the app asks Apple Maps once for the usual driving distance between the trip's start and end, so it can ask whether a noticeably longer trip included a private detour. This request goes to Apple, like any route in Apple Maps; nothing reaches us.
  • Nothing is uploaded to us. There is no Körlogg server. Your employer, or anyone else, cannot watch you through this app; they only ever see a report you choose to send them.

You can turn automatic logging off in Settings (More on Android) at any time, or revoke location access in iOS Settings.

On Android

Körlogg for Android works the same way, with Android's own building blocks:

  • Location "Allow all the time" lets a trip start by itself while the app is closed. GPS runs only during a trip, inside a foreground service, and Android shows a notification ("Trip in progress") for as long as it runs. With "Only while using the app" you start trips yourself.
  • Physical activity (Google Play services activity recognition) is used only to notice that you got into a vehicle, so GPS can stay off the rest of the time.
  • A small geofence around where the car was last parked, kept by Google Play services on the phone, is a second way to notice a trip starting.
  • Addresses are looked up with Android's built-in geocoder, provided on the device by Google Play services.
  • Trips are stored in the app's private database on the phone. Nothing is uploaded; there is still no Körlogg server.
  • Purchases go through Google Play Billing; Google handles the payment and RevenueCat validates it exactly as described below.

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Stored only on your device (SwiftData and UserDefaults) and not transmitted to us or to any server we control:

  • Trips: dates, times, start and end positions and addresses, distance, odometer readings, purpose, visited places or people, driver name, notes, business/private classification
  • Vehicles: name, registration number, make and model, type, period of use, yearly odometer readings
  • Saved places and routes you create
  • Settings: language, default classifications, reimbursement rates, Pro status

iCloud Sync (optional, Pro)

On iPhone and iPad, Pro users can turn on Sync between devices. It is off unless you turn it on, and it is set per device.

  • Your trips (including route points), vehicles, odometer readings, saved places and preset routes are copied to the private database of your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, so they appear on your other devices signed in with the same Apple Account and survive a lost phone.
  • This data is held by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. It is not sent to us and we have no way to read it.
  • Turning sync off stops copying; everything stays on the device. If Pro ends, sync pauses and nothing is deleted.
  • To remove the iCloud copy, delete the trips in the app while sync is on (deletions sync too; trips on German or Austrian rules can only be cancelled, not deleted), or remove Körlogg's data under Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Account Storage.

Körlogg for Android has no iCloud sync; its data stays on the phone.

Exports

PDF and CSV reports are generated on the device. Where you send them (email, Files, your employer's system) is your choice, and that recipient's privacy terms apply.

Vehicle Data from RDW (Netherlands)

For a car on Dutch rules you can tap Fetch make and model from RDW. The app then sends only the registration number to the open data service of the RDW, the Dutch vehicle authority (opendata.rdw.nl), and fills in the make, model and year of first registration it returns. This is public vehicle data; no name, trip or location is sent, and nothing reaches us. It happens only when you tap the button. RDW's privacy information: https://www.rdw.nl/privacy

Purchases

Körlogg offers an optional Pro upgrade through Apple's In-App Purchase system on iPhone or Google Play Billing on Android, as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. To manage purchases and restore them across your devices we use RevenueCat, a purchase-management service acting as our data processor.

  • The actual payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see or receive your card number, bank details or billing address.
  • RevenueCat receives a randomly generated app user ID, your purchase/receipt information and basic device/app data in order to validate the purchase and unlock Pro. This identifier is not your name and is not used to track you across other apps or websites.
  • We use this information only to grant and restore your Pro access.

Anonymous Usage Statistics

To see whether setup is easy to finish and which features people use, the iPhone app sends anonymous usage signals to TelemetryDeck (TelemetryDeck GmbH, Germany), acting as our data processor. A signal is an event name such as "setup finished", "first trip logged" or "Pro bought from the export screen", with a few values: the country rules chosen in the app, the app language, whether Pro is active, and for purchases the plan and the screen it was bought from.

  • No trips, positions, addresses, places, routes, registration numbers, driver names or amounts are ever sent.
  • No name, email, phone number or advertising identifier is sent.
  • The device is identified only by a one-way hash that TelemetryDeck cannot reverse; it is not linked to you as a person and not shared with anyone.
  • TelemetryDeck stores data in the EU and does not sell or share it.

Data We Do Not Collect

  • No accounts, no email, no passwords, no third-party login.
  • No advertising or ad identifiers (IDFA). We display no ads.
  • No advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking, no profiling. Anonymous usage statistics are described above.
  • No camera, microphone, photos or contacts access.
  • No location data ever reaches us. We could not sell it if we wanted to; we do not have it.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

The only third parties involved are Apple on iPhone and Google on Android (app distribution, payment processing and on-device geocoding and activity recognition, subject to their privacy policies), RevenueCat (purchase validation and restoration), TelemetryDeck (anonymous usage statistics) and, only when you ask for it, the RDW (make and model of a Dutch car from its registration number), as described above. No data brokers, no advertising networks, no social-media trackers.

Your Rights

As a Sweden/EU-based developer we follow the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for everyone who uses the app, wherever they are. Because your data lives on your device, you are in direct control of it:

  • Access & portability: every trip is visible in the app and exportable as PDF or CSV
  • Rectification: edit any trip, vehicle or setting at any time
  • Erasure: delete individual trips, or all local data by deleting the app; purchase data held by our processor can be deleted on request — see Request data deletion
  • Objection/restriction: you can use the app without automatic tracking and without making any purchase

To exercise any right, contact us (below). EU/EEA residents may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority such as the Swedish Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).

Children's Privacy

Körlogg is intended for licensed drivers (18 or older) and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Policy

If the app ever starts to collect or process data differently, this page will be updated and the date at the top changed. Material changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
