The mileage tracker that
doesn't track you

Most mileage apps run in the background 24/7, logging your every move whether you want them to or not. WayPal works differently — nothing happens until you decide it does.

What most mileage apps actually do

Before you install any mileage tracker, it's worth knowing what you're agreeing to.

📡

Always-on GPS

Many apps request "Always Allow" location access and track your position continuously — even at 2am on a Sunday when you haven't opened the app in a week.

🔋

Battery drain

Constant background GPS is one of the heaviest battery consumers on a phone. These apps quietly drain 15–30% of your daily battery without you noticing.

📊

Data as a product

Aggregated driving data — where thousands of people go, when, and how often — is commercially valuable. Some apps' business models depend on it.

The WayPal approach

Simple principle: your phone, your data, your choice.

What WayPal does NOT do

Track your location in the background without your knowledge
Log any data unless you've started a shift or entered a trip
Run persistent background processes while the app is closed
Collect location data for advertising or analytics
Sell or share your driving data with third parties
Request "Always Allow" location access by default

What WayPal DOES do

Track location only while a shift is actively running
Let you enter trips manually — with no GPS at all if you prefer
Stop all location access the moment your shift ends
Give you full control over when tracking starts and stops
Let you delete any trip, any time, from the app
Keep your data on your account — not sold or shared

You are in full control

Tracking has two modes — both require an explicit action from you.

🚗

Auto mode — you start it

When you tap "Start Shift", WayPal begins watching for movement and logs trips automatically. When you tap "End Shift", everything stops — immediately.

During an active shift:
✓ Location used to detect trips
✓ Routes recorded while moving
When shift is ended:
✗ No location access
✗ No background processes
✏️

Manual mode — no GPS at all

Prefer to log trips yourself? Enter the date, start location, end location, distance, and purpose manually. WayPal never accesses your location in this mode.

In manual mode:
✓ Full mileage log with all required fields
✓ Tax-ready exports
✓ Zero location permission required

Our privacy principles

Three commitments we make to every WayPal user.

🎯

Minimum necessary

We collect only the data required to provide the mileage tracking service. Nothing extra, ever.

🔐

Your data, your control

You can delete any trip, export all your data, or delete your account entirely — at any time, instantly.

🚫

No selling, no sharing

Your location history and driving patterns are never sold to advertisers, data brokers, or third parties.
