GT Drive Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
GT Drive (com.alazndy.gtdrive) is a driving dashboard for Android: speed, map, OBD gauges, trips, maintenance and fuel tracking. It has no user accounts and no servers of its own. Almost everything it does happens on your device. This page lists the few things that leave your device, so you can decide for yourself.
1. What stays on your device
Your vehicles, trips, routes, maintenance and fuel records, OBD readings, parking location, settings and any photos or text you scan are stored on your device only. GT Drive does not upload them anywhere. Notification content read for navigation (section 4) is processed in memory and is not stored or sent.
2. What leaves your device
None of these services is given your name, email, phone number, contacts or messages, because the app has no account to attach them to. GT Drive contains no advertising or analytics SDKs.
| Feature | Sent to | What is sent | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Map | Google Maps SDK (Google) | Data the Maps SDK collects to draw the map, such as location and device information | Only when the map is shown |
| Route search | OSRM public routing server (router.project-osrm.org); the system geocoder for place names | The start and destination coordinates of the route you start, and the place text you search for (the system geocoder, normally Google, receives it) | Only when you start in-app navigation or search for a place |
| Text recognition | Google Play services ML Kit | Text is recognized on the device; the SDK may send diagnostic and device identifiers | Only when you use a feature that reads text |
3. Location
GT Drive uses your precise location for speed, the map, trip recording and remembering where you parked. While a trip is being recorded the app runs a foreground service with a visible notification so Android allows location access. Location is stored on your device and is sent off the device only as described in section 2. You can stop recording and revoke the permission in Android settings at any time.
4. Permissions and why they are requested
You can withdraw any permission in Android settings. The related feature stops working; the rest of the app continues to work.
| Permission | Used for | Leaves the device? |
|---|---|---|
| Location (fine and coarse), foreground service location | Speed, map, trip recording, remembering where you parked | Map and route search only, see section 2 |
| Bluetooth | Connecting to an OBD adapter and detecting your car's Bluetooth to save the parking spot | No |
| Camera | Camera features and text scanning | No |
| Phone (call) | Calling a contact you choose from the app | No |
| Notifications | Showing the trip-recording notification | No |
| Notification access | Reading the navigation notification of your navigation app (turn, distance, ETA) and now-playing media information to show them on the dashboard. Only these are used; other notifications are ignored and nothing is stored | No |
| Internet and network state | Map tiles and route search | See section 2 |
5. Children
GT Drive is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
6. Retention and deletion
We keep no user data on our own servers. Data on your device is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its storage. To ask about anything else, contact us using the address below.
7. Changes to this policy
If we change how data is handled (for example when a paid plan or crash reporting is added), we will update this page and the date above before the change ships.
