Privacy Policy
Mile Markers · Published by TandM True Blue LLC · Last updated 24 October 2026
Mile Markers does not collect your data. There is no account to create, no server to send anything to, and no analytics or advertising code in the app at all.
That is the whole policy in one sentence. The rest of this page explains, in plain language, exactly what the app touches on your phone and why — because a road trip app that asks for your location ought to explain itself.
What we collect: nothing
TandM True Blue LLC operates no servers, no database, and no user accounts for Mile Markers. We cannot see your trips, your scores, your location, or anything else in the app, because none of it is ever sent to us.
What the app stores on your phone
Everything Mile Markers remembers is written to your device's own app storage and stays there:
- Player names and ages you type in, and the scores from each game.
- Your current trip: miles traveled, states crossed, and which games you played.
- Past trips and your state passport.
- Which Glovebox finds you have unlocked.
- Settings: theme, sound, haptics, read-aloud.
- Any feedback you write but have not sent yet.
This data never leaves your device. It is not backed up to us, it is not synced between phones, and no one but you can read it. Deleting the app deletes all of it permanently.
Location
Mile Markers asks for location permission so it can count the miles you drive, notice when you cross a state line, and unlock trivia for the state you are actually in.
- Location is requested as while using the app only. The app does not track you in the background and does not ask for "always" permission.
- Your coordinates are compared against state boundaries that are bundled inside the app. There is no lookup service, so this works with no cell signal — and there is no request for anyone to log.
- Coordinates are used in the moment and are not transmitted anywhere, not to us and not to any third party. The app keeps only the derived totals: a mile count, a list of state abbreviations and, if you pick a destination, how many miles the car is from it.
- Destinations are picked from a list of US towns and national parks that is bundled inside the app, so choosing one sends nothing anywhere and works with no signal.
- You can decline the permission. Everything except automatic mileage, automatic state detection and the miles-to-go countdown still works, and trivia plays from the Open Road deck about the whole country.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app can show a "Welcome to Ohio" banner when you cross a state line. These are generated on your phone by the app itself. There is no push server and no device token is registered or sent anywhere.
Read-aloud
The driver mode that reads questions out loud uses your phone's own text-to-speech — the same one your maps app uses. Mile Markers hands it the words and nothing else. No recording is made and the microphone is never used; the app does not request microphone permission at all. How your phone turns text into speech is a setting you control in the operating system, and some voices do that work on a server run by Apple or Google under their own policies rather than on the phone.
Sharing a trip recap
The end-of-trip recap card is drawn on your device. When you tap Share, the image is handed to your phone's own share sheet, and you choose where it goes. The app does not upload it, and we never receive a copy.
Feedback you choose to send
The app's feedback screen saves what you write on your phone. When you tap Send, it opens your own email app with the message pre-filled. Nothing is sent until you press send in your mail app, and you can see and edit the message first.
If you do send one, we receive an ordinary email containing your email address and whatever you wrote. We use it to fix the bug or correct the fact you reported, and nothing else. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not share these messages. Ask us to delete your message and we will.
Links out of the app
The plate guide links to Wikipedia articles so you can see what a real license plate looks like. Those pages open in your browser and are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, not this one.
If you pick a destination, the app offers a Google Maps button when you set up or change the trip, and a Directions in Google Maps button on the trip screen. Tapping one opens Google Maps (the app if you have it, the website if you don't) with the destination's name, such as "Houghton, MI", and Google works out the route from where you are. That happens only when you tap it, and what Google does with it is governed by Google's privacy policy, not this one. Mile Markers contains no Google code and makes no request to Google itself.
Mile Markers has no other outbound connections.
Third parties
Mile Markers contains no advertising, no analytics, no crash-reporting service, no social media SDKs, and no tracking of any kind. We do not sell or share personal information, because we do not have any to sell or share.
The one exception worth naming honestly: Apple and Google operate the stores you download the app from, and they collect their own data about downloads, purchases and — if you have opted in at the operating-system level — crash reports. That happens between you and them under their policies, and we only ever see anonymous, aggregated sales figures.
Children
Mile Markers is built for families and is meant to be played by children alongside adults. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, there is nothing for us to collect from a child either.
Player names and ages are typed in by whoever sets up the trip, are used only to keep score and to set the age handicap, and stay on the phone. Nicknames work perfectly well. If you would rather not enter a real age, you do not have to.
Your rights
Laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to produce or erase — with the single exception of an email you chose to send us, which we will delete on request.
Your in-app data is entirely under your own control: you can clear individual trips inside the app, and uninstalling removes everything.
Security
Your data is protected by your phone. It lives in the app's private storage, which the operating system keeps separate from other apps, and it is covered by your device passcode and encryption. Since nothing is transmitted, there is no connection to intercept and no database of ours to breach.

This website
tandmtrueblue.com has no analytics, no cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party requests of any kind. The typefaces are served from our own domain rather than a font provider, so visiting this page does not tell anyone else that you did.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If a future version were to start collecting anything, we would say so clearly and ask first.

A note on plates: the license plate guide describes plates in words and links to Wikipedia rather than showing photographs of them. State plate designs are state property, and we would rather send you to the source than reproduce them.
