1. Introduction
DriveDocket Solutions LLC ("DriveDocket," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we store and protect it, and your rights with respect to your personal information when you use the DriveDocket mobile application (the "Application").
By creating an account and using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Application.
This Privacy Policy applies to the DriveDocket mobile application for iOS and Android and the DriveDocket web application (collectively, the "Application"). It does not apply to any third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from within the Application.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you create an account and use the Application, you provide us with the following information:
- Account registration information: first name, last name, middle name (optional), date of birth (optional), phone number, and email address.
- Uploaded documents: driver's license (front required; back optional), vehicle registration, insurance card, traffic tickets and citations, excise tax documents, and vehicle inspection documents.
- Vehicle information: vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and year.
2.2 Information Extracted from Your Documents
When you upload documents to the Application, we use optical character recognition (OCR) technology powered by AWS Textract to extract information from those documents. This may include:
- Driver's license: name, license number, date of birth, address, expiration date, and license class.
- Vehicle registration: vehicle details, registration expiration date, and plate number.
- Insurance card: insurance provider name and policy expiration date.
- Traffic tickets and citations: violation type, violation date, due date, and fine amount.
- Excise tax documents: vehicle details and payment due dates.
OCR extraction is used solely to populate your compliance dashboard and generate reminders. You remain responsible for verifying the accuracy of extracted information.
2.3 Information from Public Sources
The Application retrieves certain information from publicly available sources and APIs that do not involve the transmission of your personal information. This includes:
- Vehicle recall data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) public recall database, accessed using your vehicle VIN.
- Municipal street cleaning schedules, where publicly available.
- Google Civic API data for voting and civic alerts, where applicable.
2.4 Device and Session Data
We collect limited technical information necessary to operate the Application, including:
- Authentication tokens (JSON Web Tokens and refresh tokens) for session management. Tokens expire automatically and are revoked upon logout.
- Push notification tokens to deliver compliance reminders and alerts to your device.
- A biometric preference flag (enabled or disabled) stored on our servers. No biometric data itself — including fingerprints or facial scans — is collected or stored by DriveDocket. All biometric authentication is handled entirely by your device operating system using Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint recognition.
2.5 Website Visitors
When you visit our website, our hosting provider estimates the general area you are connecting from, meaning your state and an approximate position within it, from your internet connection. We use this once, at the moment your page is prepared, to work out which of our designated cities for your state is closest to you, so that the home page can show a scene and local weather that match your part of the country. We keep only a short code for the city that was selected, stored in a cookie on your device for twelve hours. The approximate position itself is used in that moment and is not stored, logged, or shared.
We do not request, receive, or store your precise location, we do not use this information to identify you, and we do not sell or share it. Weather information comes from the National Weather Service, and we ask them only about the city being displayed; nothing about you is sent to them. You can remove the stored city code at any time by clearing your browser cookies.
If you submit your email address through the Vehicle Recall Checker, we record that address together with the date and time, the vehicle identification number (VIN) or the year, make and model you searched, and whether any recalls were found. We use this to send your recall report, to check that vehicle against the NHTSA public recall database and alert you if a new recall is issued, and to send occasional updates about DriveDocket. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time. When you unsubscribe from recall alerts, we stop monitoring your vehicle and delete the VIN within 30 days.
Cookies and advertising on our website. With your permission, our website uses analytics and advertising cookies, including from Google, Meta and our email provider, to understand how visitors use the site and to measure and show our ads, including to people who have visited our site. You can accept or decline these cookies in our cookie banner and change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
We do not collect GPS or device location data in the Application, and the approximate area described in 2.5 is used only to choose what the website shows you. The Application itself contains no advertising or analytics SDKs and does not track your behaviour; the cookies described above are used on our website only.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely to provide and improve the DriveDocket service. Specifically, we use your information to:
- Create and manage your account.
- Process and store uploaded documents securely.
- Extract compliance-relevant data from your documents using OCR.
- Generate your Driver Compliance Dashboard, compliance status indicators, and Driver Compliance Score.
- Send you reminders and alerts about document expirations, ticket due dates, vehicle recalls, and other compliance deadlines.
- Authenticate your identity using one-time passcodes (OTP) sent to your registered email or phone number.
- Maintain session security and application performance.
- Send recall reports, recall alerts and occasional updates about DriveDocket to people who submit their email through the Vehicle Recall Checker.
- Send account holders occasional updates about DriveDocket, including our monthly bulletin. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We do not use the information in your DriveDocket account, including your documents, vehicles, violations or compliance score, for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, insurance underwriting or employment decisions.
4. Driver Compliance Score — Important Disclaimer
The Driver Compliance Score generated by the Application is an internal, informational indicator based solely on data you have uploaded. It reflects document validity, expiration timelines, and unresolved violations as tracked within the Application. The Driver Compliance Score is:
- Not a credit score, insurance score, or risk score of any kind.
- Not shared with any third party, including insurers, employers, or government agencies.
- Not used or intended for any eligibility, underwriting, or employment determination.
- Informational only and intended solely for your personal awareness and compliance management.
DriveDocket does not operate as a consumer reporting agency as defined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The Application does not furnish consumer reports and does not access official motor vehicle records (MVRs) from state DMV systems.
6. Data Storage and Security
Your documents and account data are stored on servers operated by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States. We implement the following security controls:
- Encrypted storage for all documents and personal data.
- Secure API communications using industry-standard encryption protocols.
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel.
- Passwordless authentication using one-time passcodes (OTP) delivered via email or SMS. We do not store passwords.
- Automatic session timeout after five minutes of inactivity.
- Authentication tokens with automatic expiry; refresh tokens are revoked upon logout.
No security system is impenetrable. While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
7. Data Retention
We retain your account information and documents for as long as your account remains active. You may delete individual documents at any time through the Application.
When you delete your account, the following data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from our systems:
- Your account record and all profile information.
- All uploaded documents, including all copies stored in AWS S3.
- All vehicle records, infraction records, and notification history.
- All authentication tokens and push notification tokens.
Certain technical records, such as server logs generated during the development phase, may be retained for a limited period for operational and security purposes. These records do not contain your personal document data.
Recall Checker data (email, vehicle details and VIN) is kept while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe from all DriveDocket emails, we delete this data within 30 days, except for a record of the unsubscribe, which we keep so we don’t email you again.
We may retain information for a longer period where required by applicable law or to fulfill a legal obligation. We will notify you of any such retention requirements to the extent permitted by law.

- Access: you may access and review the information stored in your account at any time through the Application.
- Correction: you may update or correct inaccurate information in your account profile.
- Deletion: you may delete individual documents or delete your entire account at any time through the Application Settings. Account deletion results in permanent and irreversible deletion of all your data.

9. Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA)
The federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) restricts the disclosure of personal information obtained from state motor vehicle records. DriveDocket does not access, retrieve, or use information from any state DMV database or official motor vehicle record system. All information processed by DriveDocket is provided directly by you, the user, through voluntary document upload. DriveDocket is not a motor vehicle record provider and does not operate within the scope of DPPA-regulated activities.
10. Children's Privacy
The Application is intended for use by individuals who hold or are applying for a driver's license and are at least 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at privacy@drivedocket.com.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the Application or by email to your registered address at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Application after the effective date of the updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
