DriveHub for iPhone · Last updated 26 August 2026

Who we are

DriveHub is published by Zamiralov Media Oy, a company registered in Finland. Contact: andrei@zamiralov.fi.

What the app uses, and why

iCloud sync

If you are signed in to iCloud, DriveHub syncs your data between your own devices using Apple's CloudKit, into your private iCloud database. That database belongs to your Apple Account. We have no access to it, and we cannot read, export or restore its contents. It is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Turning off iCloud for DriveHub in iOS Settings keeps everything local to the device. Signing out of iCloud entirely is different: iOS itself then removes the synced copy from the device, so export your reports first if you plan to sign out.

Maps

Five things in the app need Apple Maps: showing a route on a map, drawing the small map picture on a trip row, naming a place from its coordinates, rebuilding the route of a drive that was recovered after the fact, and adding an optional route-map appendix to a PDF report. Those requests go from your iPhone to Apple — not to us — and carry only the coordinates needed to answer them. Your trip list, your business/personal classification, your vehicles and the rest of your report are not sent. Apple's handling of those requests is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

The PDF appendix is off by default. Only when you turn on “Include route maps in PDF” and export a PDF does DriveHub ask Apple Maps for a base-map image covering a geographic region calculated from each eligible business trip's recorded GPS track. That region reveals the area in which the trip occurred. The detailed GPS points are not passed to the map-image service: they stay on your device, where DriveHub draws the route line over the returned base map. Private trips, endpoint-only trips and reconstructed routes are not used to make an appendix request. If Apple Maps cannot provide an image, that map is omitted and the rest of the report still exports.

Detection and recording make no network request at all. Normal PDF export and all Excel and CSV exports can be made with the phone offline. A PDF export needs a connection to Apple Maps only while the route-map option is enabled.

Once a day the app downloads a small public file of tax rates. Tax offices change their per-kilometre rates, usually in December, and a mileage log that prices a January drive at last year's rate is wrong on your tax return. So the app fetches a list of the current official rates from this address (app versions before 1.3 use the same file at zamiralov.fi), at most once a day. It sends nothing — no account, no identifier, no location, not a single trip; the request has no parameters and could be made by anyone. If it never succeeds, everything keeps working on the rates built into the app.

What we do not do

• No account, no sign-up, no email required to use the app.
• No analytics, and no third-party SDK of any kind. The app is built on Apple's own frameworks and has no external dependencies at all — no Firebase, Google Analytics, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Sentry, Crashlytics, no session recording and no attribution library.
• No advertising and no tracking. No ad networks, no attribution SDKs, no advertising identifier (IDFA), and no App Tracking Transparency prompt — because there is nothing to track.
• No selling or sharing of data, because we do not receive any.
• No network calls in the recording path. Trip detection and recording work with the phone offline. The app makes exactly two kinds of request: Apple Maps, as described above, and the daily tax-rate file. The tax-rate request contains no personal data. Apple Maps requests contain only the coordinates needed for the requested map operation. For the PDF appendix, the request identifies a geographic region only after you enable the option; the detailed recorded GPS polyline remains on your device.

Purchases

DriveHub Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase. Apple processes the payment; we never see your card, billing address or Apple Account. Your purchase status is verified on your device against Apple's signed receipt. From Apple we receive only aggregated, anonymous sales and subscription reports, in which individuals cannot be identified.

If you email us

When you contact support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write — typically the app version and a description of the problem. We use it only to answer you. Under the GDPR the legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing support (Art. 6(1)(f)) and, for questions about a purchase, performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)). Support correspondence is kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Zamiralov Media Oy is the controller for this correspondence.

Your rights over the data in the app

Because your trip data never reaches us, you do not need to ask us for access, correction, export or erasure — you already hold all of it:

• Access and export: Reports → export as PDF, Excel or CSV.
• Correction: any trip, vehicle, rate or client can be edited in the app.
• Erasure: delete individual trips in the app, or delete the app to remove everything on that device. To remove the synced copy as well, turn off iCloud for DriveHub in iOS Settings → Apple Account → iCloud, and delete the DriveHub data there.

For the support correspondence described above, you may ask us to access or erase it at andrei@zamiralov.fi. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).

Children

DriveHub is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly process any data relating to children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and a material change will be announced in the app's release notes. We do not need to notify you individually, because we have no way to contact you unless you have written to us.
