Your Privacy Controls in the App

Learn how to manage your privacy settings in the GoCarma app — including location permissions, notification preferences, and how to delete your account.

Written by Emmett Murphy

The GoCarma app gives you full control over what’s collected and how it’s used.
You can review your permissions, manage notifications, and request account deletion directly in the app.


⚙️ Check or Update App Permissions

  1. Open GoCarma → Menu → Privacy Center.

  2. Tap App Permissions to see required and recommended settings.

  3. Required permissions ensure the app can detect trips correctly:

    • Motion & Fitness Activity

You can also manage these in your phone’s system settings at any time.


🔔 Manage Notifications

Under Privacy Center → Notification Settings, you can toggle specific alerts:

Notifications are opt-in by default, and you can disable them anytime.


🗑️ Delete Your Account

If you no longer wish to participate, you can delete your GoCarma account:

  1. Open the app menu → Privacy Center → Delete Account.

  2. Confirm your request.

  3. Your data will be securely deleted within 7 days.

You’ll receive a confirmation email once deletion is complete.


🧭 Transparency on Data Collection

The GoCarma app uses background location data only to detect commutes between your registered home and work areas, and only around the time of your scheduled commute departures (between 1 hour before and 2 hours after your scheduled departure times).


Outside of commute windows, the app does not automatically track or record your movements.
