Ensuring Consumer Privacy While Making Every Mile Count
Privacy is an important focus area for us at Miles, and core to our promise to users
Our vision at Miles is to deliver value for every mile traveled, across every mode of transportation – with greener forms of travel rewarded even further. When people first hear about Miles, often the first questions they ask are “How does it work? How does it know what mode of transportation I’m taking?” and “how are you keeping my data private?”
Our immediate and unwavering answer is Miles does NOT share any personal data with any third parties. Trip information is used anonymously and in aggregate to help cities and transportation providers understand traffic behaviors and transit usage to reduce traffic congestion, and foster sustainability and greener modes of travel.
Using our proprietary AI engine, the Miles app automatically identifies your mode of transportation and rewards your travel seamlessly – all while keeping data completely private. Users can view a log of their trips from point A to B, and see how many Miles they earned for each trip, but at no time is that individualized information shared with any 3rd party.
