Location Tracking Disclosure

Last Updated: March 16, 2026

Local Motion uses precise location data to calculate mileage, determine eligibility, and operate Campaigns. This disclosure describes how location tracking works.

1. Background & Foreground Collection

Foreground Tracking: When tracking is enabled, the app collects location periodically (approximately every 30 seconds) to compute mileage and eligibility.
Background Tracking: When permitted, the app collects location in the background using system location services (e.g., time‑based and distance‑based updates such as ~60 seconds or ~25 meters).
Indicators: On supported devices, a background location indicator and/or notification may be shown while tracking is active.

2. Data Collected

Latitude/longitude, timestamps, and accuracy.
Speed and inferred “driving” status.
Target‑zone status (e.g., within geofences or ZIP‑based target areas).
Home‑radius status (inside or outside the configured radius).

3. How We Use Location Data

Eligibility: Determine Eligible Miles and enforce home‑radius and Campaign‑window rules.
Home Radius Rule: As of this Last Updated date, the default home-radius eligibility threshold is 20 miles from the residential address on file unless a Campaign or Platform setting specifies otherwise.
Target Zones: Determine whether miles fall within Campaign target areas (geofence or ZIP).
Fraud Prevention: Detect anomalous or suspicious location patterns.
Analytics: Generate mileage summaries, statements, and performance metrics.
Route Analytics: Create downsampled route previews and aggregated analytics for Campaign reporting; where shared with Businesses, data is de‑identified or pseudonymous.

4. Reverse Geocoding

For ZIP‑based target areas, the app may perform reverse geocoding on device to determine a postal code for eligibility matching.

5. Permissions & Impact

If you disable location permissions or background tracking, the Platform may be unable to record Eligible Miles and your participation may be limited or suspended.
