Effective 19 August 2026 · Last updated 19 August 2026
This policy explains what How Am I Driving? ("HAMD", "we", "us") collects, why, who can see it, and what control you have. It applies to the HAMD mobile app, the HAMD web dashboard, and howamidriving.app.
HAMD is operated by Mai Niv Enterprises Inc., Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Every HAMD account is one of two types, and this changes who controls your data:
| Account type | Who owns the account | Who is monitored |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet | A business (the employer) | Employees who drive for that business |
| Family | A parent or guardian | Teen drivers in that household |
For fleet accounts, the employer is the controller of the driving data and decides how it is used; HAMD processes it on their behalf. For family accounts, the parent or guardian is the controller. If you are a driver or a teen and you want to know why you are being monitored or want your data removed, speak to your account owner first — they hold the account. You can still contact us directly using the details in Section 12.
While you are driving, the app uses your phone's GPS location, including in the background, to detect that a trip has started, measure it, and detect that it has ended. From that it derives, for each trip:
Your route is not uploaded. The second-by-second GPS points the app uses to measure a trip are processed on your device and are not sent to our servers. What leaves your phone at the end of a trip is the list of numbers above — a summary. HAMD does not build or store a map of the places you go.
There is one narrow exception. If your account owner has enabled an optional third-party telematics provider, that provider may report individual safety events — such as a detected crash or a specific speeding incident — and those events include the coordinates and speed at the moment the event occurred. These are single points tied to a specific incident, not a continuous trail. Most accounts run on the phone-only mode described above, in which no coordinates are stored on our servers at all.
When the vehicle is moving and you switch away from HAMD to another app, HAMD counts the seconds until you return, and reports that as "phone use" for the trip. HAMD cannot see which app you switched to, cannot read your messages, notifications, contacts, browsing, or screen contents, and does not attempt to. Time recorded this way is categorised only as "other". Named categories such as "texting" or "social media" appear only if your account owner has enabled an optional third-party telematics provider that supplies them.
We do not use your driving data to train advertising models, and we do not profile you for any purpose outside the app.
Inside your account. Fleet owners and fleet managers can see the trips, scores, events, and shift records of drivers in their fleet. Parents on a family account can see the trips, scores, events, and curfew status of teen drivers in their household. Drivers and teens can always see their own data. HAMD accounts are strictly isolated from one another — no account can read another account's data, and attempts to do so are logged.
Service providers. We share the minimum necessary with vendors who operate parts of the service for us:
| Provider | Purpose | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Server and database hosting (United States) | All stored data, at rest on their infrastructure |
| Twilio | SMS alerts | Recipient phone number and message text |
| SendGrid (Twilio) | Email alerts and digests | Recipient email address and message content |
| Stripe | Subscription billing | Account owner's billing details and payment card, collected directly by Stripe |
| Apple / Google | App distribution; crash and usage data in beta builds | Governed by their own privacy policies |
| Optional telematics provider | Enhanced event detection, only if your account owner enables it | Trip and event data, including event coordinates |
Insurers. Only if your account owner chooses to generate and send a report — and those reports are redacted, as described next.
Legal. We may disclose data if required by law, valid legal process, or to protect someone's safety or our legal rights.
Business transfer. If HAMD is sold or merged, data may transfer with it; you will be notified in the app or by email.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under California and Nevada law.
Reports generated for insurers are carrier-agnostic and redacted by design:
FLEET-001-D03 and FLEET-001-V02.Payroll exports are provided to the fleet account owner for their own use and contain the driver's identity and shift and trip totals. HAMD does not send payroll data to any third party.
HAMD is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it.
Family accounts may include teen drivers aged 14 to 21. A teen driver profile can only be created by the parent or guardian who owns the account, and by creating it that parent or guardian confirms they have the authority to consent to the collection described in this policy on the teen's behalf. We ask parents to tell their teen, plainly, that the app records every trip and that the parent can see it. A teen's data is deleted when the parent deletes the profile or the account.
If you are a minor and want to know what is recorded about you, or want it deleted, ask your parent or guardian, or contact us at the address in Section 12.
If your employer put you on HAMD, they are monitoring your driving as part of your job, and they — not HAMD — decide the terms. Employers are required by our Terms of Service to notify their drivers and to comply with all applicable employment, privacy, and labour laws. HAMD tracks trips whenever driving is detected; the app records whether a trip fell inside a scheduled shift, but it does not automatically stop recording when you are off the clock. If you do not want your personal driving measured, sign out of the app or disable location permission outside working hours, and raise it with your employer.
No system is perfectly secure. If we discover a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
California residents (CCPA/CPRA). You have the rights to know, delete, and correct, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. HAMD does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and uses sensitive personal information (precise location and driver's license number) only to provide the service you or your account owner asked for. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Nevada residents. Nevada law lets you tell us not to sell your covered information. We do not sell it, but you may still submit a request to the address below.
Everyone else. If you are outside the United States, note that your data is stored and processed in the United States. Submit any request to the address below and we will respond within the time your local law allows.
To make a request, email us from the address on your HAMD account so we can verify it is you. If you are a fleet driver or a teen, we may need to route your request through your account owner, since they control the account.

If we change this policy we will update the "Last updated" date above. For changes that materially affect how we handle your information, we will notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. Continuing to use HAMD after that means you accept the updated policy.
