Driver Profit, developed by Ozeans Studio ("we", "our", or "the app"), is committed to protecting the privacy, financial confidentiality, and rights of ride-hailing and commercial transport drivers. This Privacy Policy details our offline-first architecture, the specific permissions we require, how your data is handled, and your complete rights.
1. Summary of Core Principles
Offline-First Architecture: All your financial earnings, platforms, expenses, and maintenance funds are stored locally in an encrypted SQLite database on your device.
No Third-Party Advertising Trackers: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or transmit your financial records or location data to advertising brokers.
Full Data Ownership: You maintain complete control over your data, including exporting 256-bit AES encrypted backups (.dpbak) or deleting local records at any time.
2. Information We Collect and Why
A. Location Information (Background & Foreground)
What is collected: Precise GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, speed, and distance calculations).
When it is collected: Location is only collected during an Active Driving Shift initiated by the user tapping "START DRIVE".
Why it is needed:
To calculate real-time shift distance, route odometer verification, fuel consumption deductions, and maintenance reserves.
To track mileage continuously even when the app is running in the background or minimized while you use third-party navigation or dispatch apps (such as Uber, PickMe, Rapido, Google Maps, or Waze).
When tracking stops: Location access ceases immediately when the user taps "FINISH DRIVE".
Prominent Disclosure: Before location tracking begins, the app displays a prominent in-app disclosure requiring affirmative user consent.
Important Note on Location Privacy: Location tracking is strictly operational and local to your device for active trip mileage calculations. Your real-time coordinates and trip histories are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties.
B. Shift & Financial Information
What is stored: Gross earnings, platform breakdowns (e.g. Uber, PickMe, Ola, Rapido, Cash), fuel costs, meal/toll expenses, and maintenance allocations.
Storage location: Stored exclusively within your device's local database.
C. Vehicle & Garage Configuration
What is stored: Vehicle type (Tuk, Bike, Car, Lorry, Prime Mover, Bus), fuel efficiency baselines, service intervals, and target profit goals.
D. Device Identifier (Telemetry)
What is generated: A persistent anonymous device identifier (e.g. DP-LK-XXXX-XXXX) generated locally to identify your device for local sponsor redemptions and support.
3. Device Permissions Required
Permission
Android Name
Justification
Precise Location
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Required to calculate exact distance driven during a shift.
Background Location
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION

Foreground Service
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION
Required by Android 14+ to display the ongoing notification while driving.
Post Notifications
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Required on Android 13+ to display the active shift speedometer and 8-hour safety reminder.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties
Driver Profit does not sell, trade, or share user personal, location, or financial data with any third parties or marketing networks.
5. Security & Encryption
Data stored locally on your device uses encrypted database containers.
Backup exports utilize AES-256 (CBC) encryption with cryptographically random initialization vectors (IV), ensuring backups sent via WhatsApp or cloud storage cannot be read by unauthorized parties without decryption keys.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
You can delete individual shifts, expenses, or vehicle profiles at any time inside the app.
Clearing the app storage or uninstalling the app permanently purges all local databases from the device.
