Privacy Policy — Farm Mileage Tracker

Last updated: 2026-10-12

What this app is

This app is published by Bees, Blooms & Bytes LLC.

Farm Mileage Tracker logs vehicle trips for IRS mileage-deduction recordkeeping. This policy covers the app (mobile) and its backend (a Cloudflare Worker at bloom-api.bloomcal.workers.dev, shared for infrastructure reasons with two separate sibling apps, Bloom Calendar and WaggleOps — see /privacy and /waggleops-privacy for those apps' own policies; nothing here applies to them). This app works fully offline with no account required — signing in is entirely optional.

Information we do NOT collect

• No names, email addresses, or phone numbers about you. If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, we only ever receive and store an opaque, anonymous account identifier (the provider's sub claim) — never your name or email, even though the provider's token technically includes it. The rest of the sign-in token is discarded immediately upon verification and never logged or stored.
• No payment or financial account information. We don't collect any.
• No raw GPS traces. A trip's distance is calculated from location updates processed on-device in real time; only the derived distance and start/end timestamps are saved. The coordinate trace itself is never written to storage or transmitted anywhere, whether you're signed in or not.

Information we do collect and store

• On your device, always: trip records (distance, category, date, vehicle, odometer readings if entered, and the IRS mileage rate/value used) and the vehicles you've added.
• Only if you sign in (optional): the same trip and vehicle records above, synced to our server under an opaque account ID tied to your Apple or Google sign-in, so they're available on your other devices too. If you never sign in, none of this leaves your device.

Cloud sync (optional)

Signing in is entirely optional and only adds one thing: your trips and vehicles sync across your devices. The app works exactly the same without ever signing in, and nothing is lost if you skip it or sign out later.

Synced data is scoped to your account — no other user has any way to read it. It is not end-to-end encrypted: our servers hold the data in a form we could technically access.

Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. This permanently deletes your synced trips and vehicles from our server. Trips and vehicles stored locally on your device are not affected (delete the app to remove those).

Location permission

The app requests background location access specifically to auto-track a trip's distance while the app isn't open — this only runs between when you manually start and stop a trip, never in the background otherwise. As above, only the derived distance is saved; the raw coordinate trace is never stored or transmitted.

Third parties

• Apple / Google: used for optional sign-in. See their respective privacy policies for how they handle your data on their end.
• Cloudflare: hosts our backend, used only if you choose to sign in. Data in transit is over HTTPS.

We do not sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.

Children's privacy

This app is not directed at children and is not knowingly used to collect data from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, note it in the app.
