Privacy policy
The short version: your trips live in a database on your phone, backed up (if you leave it on) to your own iCloud Drive, where only you can see them. Your location never leaves your phone. We have no accounts and no servers that could hold your data. The one thing the app does send is an anonymous crash report when something goes wrong, so we can fix it.
01Who we are
Odo is made by Argon Labs LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Odo mobile app and this website, getodo.app. Questions? Email support@getodo.app.
02What the app collects: crash reports only
Odo does not require an account and contains no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Your trips, routes, vehicles, and location history are never transmitted anywhere.
The single exception is crash reporting. When the app crashes or hits an unexpected error, it sends a diagnostic report through Sentry, our error-monitoring provider, so we can find and fix the bug. A report contains technical information about the failure:
- The error and the code path that produced it (a stack trace).
- Device model, operating system version, and Odo version.
- A random identifier used to group repeated crashes from the same install. It is not linked to you and does not follow you across apps.
Crash reports never include your location, trips, vehicles, routes, exports, or the contents of anything you type. We have disabled Sentry's optional collection of personally identifying information, along with its performance tracing and session replay features. Reports are used only to diagnose and fix defects, and are never sold or shared for advertising.
03Location: used on your phone, never collected
Odo is a mileage tracker, so this deserves its own section. When you record a trip with GPS, Odo asks for while-in-uselocation permission and reads your position only between the moment you tap Start and the moment you tap Stop. So you can navigate with your maps app, a recording keeps measuring while Odo is in the background — iOS shows its location indicator in the status bar the whole time. Odo never asks for “Always” access, and there is no always-on tracking or automatic drive detection. The route's distance and your chosen start/end labels are computed and stored on your device. Your location is never transmitted anywhere, to us or anyone else — not in a crash report, and not through any other code path in the app. If you never use GPS recording (manual and odometer entry work fine without it), Odo never touches location at all.
04Where your data lives
Everything you create in Odo — trips, vehicles, frequent routes, settings — is stored in a local database on your device. It is included in your device backups (e.g. iCloud or encrypted local backups) under the standard iOS backup rules you control. Deleting the app permanently deletes this data from your device.
On iPhone, Odo also saves a backup file of your log to the Odo folder in your own iCloud Drive, so a reinstall or a new phone can get it back. It is stored by Apple under your Apple Account and iCloud terms; it never passes through a server of ours, and we cannot read it. The file holds your trips (dates, the places you typed, purposes, distances, tolls and parking), vehicles, frequent routes and settings — no GPS coordinates, because Odo never stores any. Turn it off anytime in Settings → Backup, and delete the file from the Files app or iCloud Drive settings.
05Exports are yours
CSV and PDF reports are generated entirely on your device. When you share one — with your accountant, by email, to your files — that copy goes where you send it, under your control. We never see it.
06Purchases
Odo's one-time unlock is sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies. We never see your name, payment details, or billing address.
07This website
getodo.app is a static site. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard, short-lived server logs (such as IP address and requested page) to operate and secure the service, as described in the provider's own privacy documentation.
08Email support
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and keep it only as long as needed to help you. We never add you to mailing lists or share your address.
09Children
Odo is a tax-utility app aimed at working adults, but it is suitable for all ages. The app has no account system and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Crash reports contain only technical diagnostics about a failure, never personal details, and we make no attempt to identify who sent one.
10Your rights
Privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA give you rights over personal data a company holds about you. Everything you create in Odo is already fully in your hands, on your device and in your own iCloud Drive, so there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete. We hold no account records. Crash reports are technical diagnostics that are not linked to your identity, so we generally cannot connect one to a particular person — but if you contact us with the details, we will locate and delete any report we can identify as yours. Support emails you have sent us will also be deleted on request.
11Changes to this policy
If we ever change how Odo works in a way that affects privacy, we will update this policy first and note the change prominently here and in the app's release notes. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version.
- October 24, 2026 — Odo is now on Android; the unlock is sold through Google Play there. Nothing new is sent to us.
- September 22, 2026 — added automatic backup to your own iCloud Drive (on iPhone; switch it off in Settings). We still receive none of your data, and the backup contains no location coordinates.
- September 10, 2026 — a GPS recording now keeps measuring while you switch to another app (such as your maps app), until you tap Stop. Still while-in-use permission only; location stays on your device.
- September 9, 2026 — added crash reporting (Sentry) so we can find and fix bugs. No change to how your trips or location are handled: they remain on your device only, and never appear in a crash report.
- July 11, 2026 — first version of this policy.
