In order to provide you Smart Drivers service we need some app permissions. Specifically:
  • Identity to find, add or remove Smart Drivers account on the device: 
    it allows to create a special Smart Drivers account on the phone to make the app experience user-friendly;
  • Contacts to find accounts on the device:
    it allows Smart Drivers to identify whether Facebook account is already on the phone - again having Facebook signup/login makes user experience better;
  • Location to precisely locate you (GPS and network-based):
    it is required to record your trips;
  • Phone to read phone status and identity.
    As Smart Drivers checks whether one talks on the phone while driving, it needs to identify when the call happens. That’s it.
  • Photos/Media/Files to read the contents of your USB storage, and to modify or delete the contents of your USB storage:
    Smart Drivers allows you to have a profile picture. That is why Smart Drivers needs to store and access it;
  • Storage to read the contents of your USB storage, and modify or delete the contents of your USB storage:
    Smart Drivers records the trip on the phone and sends it to the server every minute. Smart Drivers also works in the offline mode and then the whole trip data is stored on the phone and send out to the server when there is an internet connection available. That is why Smart Drivers needs to access storage;
  • Device ID & call information to read phone status and identity:
    It is required for user identification in order to provide user support and send app feedback.
