Phone Permissions Explained: What and Why

Introduction

To detect your drives accurately, LETSTOP relies on a few important phone permissions. This guide explains what each permission does, why the app requests it, and how these settings help ensure reliable tracking while keeping your data protected.

Why Permissions Matter

LETSTOP recognizes drives by analyzing motion, location, and limited device activity. Each permission serves a focused purpose. Together, they allow the app to detect when a trip begins, monitor it in the background, and measure interactions that affect your score. The app collects only what is needed for accurate drive tracking and rewards.

Key Permissions and Their Roles

Location Access

Location access helps determine when a drive starts and ends. To track trips consistently, LETSTOP may request While Using the App or Always depending on your device settings. This supports seamless detection even when the app runs in the background.

Precise Location

Precise Location allows the app to understand your exact position. This improves trip detection, ensures the route is accurate, and helps distinguish driving from other movement types.

Physical Activity or Motion and Fitness

Activity data lets the app differentiate between driving, walking, and cycling. This prevents false trips and ensures you are rewarded only for valid drives. Your movement is analyzed on your device to classify activity types accurately.

Display Over Other Apps

Some devices require this permission to show small indicators or essential elements that help with drive detection. It never covers your screen fully and is used only when needed for technical accuracy.

GPS Services

GPS must be enabled for your device to provide movement and route data. Without GPS, the app cannot detect your trip or reward your drive.

Privacy and Your Data

LETSTOP uses permissions strictly to power drive detection and reward calculations. The app does not access unrelated personal content. Only essential signals such as movement, route, and limited interaction counts are processed. Your data is handled following the platform privacy policy for accuracy, safety, and transparency.

Getting Set Up

If any permission is missing, you may see a prompt in the app. Follow the guided steps and enable the required setting in your phone's system menu. Once everything is enabled, LETSTOP can detect every valid drive and award credits reliably.

Keep Driving, Keep Earning

With the right permissions in place, LETSTOP works quietly in the background. Each drive is detected smoothly, your safety score remains accurate, and your credits reflect your driving habits. Set it up once and let the app handle the rest.
