At ERG Media LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the MileWise mobile application ("App"), which tracks miles for tax deduction purposes. By using MileWise, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
a. Personal Information
- Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and phone number.
- Location Data: To track your drives, MileWise collects precise location data (e.g., GPS coordinates) when the App is active or running in the background. You can disable location tracking through your device settings, but this may limit the App's functionality.
- Usage Data: We collect information about how you use MileWise, such as the dates, times, start/end locations, and classifications of your drives.
b. Device Information
We may collect data about your device, including the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and IP address.
c. Optional Information
You may provide additional information, such as notes or vehicle details, which you enter into the App voluntarily.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve MileWise, including tracking and categorizing your drives for tax deduction purposes.
- Communicate with you about your account or customer support.
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance App functionality and user experience.
- Comply with legal obligations or protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With third-party vendors who assist us in operating MileWise (e.g., cloud storage, analytics providers). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only as necessary to provide their services.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of ERG Media LLC or others.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred to a third party.

- Marketing Communications: You can opt out of non-essential communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us, subject to legal retention obligations.
