Privacy notice

Updated 9 November 2026

notuju never keeps who you are or the places you went. Of the places you go, it only counts the kind, by city and week.

There is no sign-up, no email and no phone number. What notuju learns about your routine stays on your phone.

Kept on your phone

• Home, work and the places you go every week
• Your usual fuel brand, and when a toll road is worth it to you
• Junctions you have missed, and your own ways around
• How long the roads took on your own drives
• In Settings, you can see, forget or export each one, or delete it all at once

Sent to do the job

• The start and end of a route, to work out the way. Not kept.
• While you drive, your positions, sent every 2 minutes without their times, so the router can name the roads you are on. Not kept.
• Place searches, and the area’s name when you set home or work from where you are, with your position rounded to about 1 km, never the exact spot.
• Map tiles and weather, from open-data services.
• One anonymous check-in a day, to count how many phones use notuju, and one count when a drive ends, with its length in whole kilometres.
• Reports you choose to send.

Help the traffic map: on unless you turn it off

How long each main road took and when, to the minute; how long you waited at each toll plaza, which side you went through and how you paid; fill-ups at fuel stations; stops at R&Rs: which R&R, the quarter hour you got there and how many minutes you stayed; and junctions you miss: where the junction is, the way you were heading, its exit number or sign, and the hour.

Where you brake hard (slowing by about 0.3 g or more from 30 km/h): where braking began, to about 10 m, the way you were heading, your speed before and after in bands of 10 km/h, and the hour. Where you turn round on the road when your route did not say to: where you turned, to about 10 m, the way you were going, and the hour. Where mobile data drops while you drive, for 200 m to 30 km: where it was lost and where it came back, to about 10 m, the distance between and the hour. notuju asks nothing extra to find this out: it notices when the phone goes offline, or when what it already asks for gets no answer.

Road times, hard brakes, turn backs and stretches without data come only from main roads, never residential roads or service lanes. Nothing is sent from within 500 m of where a trip starts or ends, a stop on it, or home or work, and a spot waits on your phone until you are 500 m past it. No name, no phone ID.

An R&R’s stop times are published once 10 stops are counted there. A junction is published once 10 misses are counted there. A hard braking spot is published once 10 hard brakes are counted there, and a turn-back spot once 10 turn backs are. A spot where 3 different trips turned back in the last hour shows at once as probably closed now. A 500 m square without signal is published once 5 drives without data are counted through it. Until then they show as “Building”.

Help the open data: on unless you turn it off

When a drive arrives at a place, or you pick a place from a search: only what kind of place it is, from notuju’s place groups (like Healthcare, Shopping malls or R&R), with the state, the city and the week. Never the place, its name or position, the words you typed, the route, where the trip started, or the time. Never at home or work. Healthcare is one group and places of worship are one group, never split.

A total is published only for a week that is over, only once it reaches 50 for a kind of place and an area, and rounded to the nearest 10. Until then it shows as “Building”.

Turning them off

Untick either one on the first screen, or turn it off any time in Settings. notuju still gives directions with both off.

What the server keeps

Weekly totals and anonymous road times, which become open data under the ODbL. No accounts, no names and no internet addresses in the app’s data. Visits to this website are counted once a day per browser, with nothing about who. Road reports and the daily check-in carry a random code the app made when it was installed, never anything from the phone itself. The server keeps it only scrambled, to count phones and to stop one phone counting twice, and cannot link it to anything else. Toll-lane passes and turn backs carry a random code made for that one trip, so a pass is not counted twice, and three trips turning back can be told from one trip turning back three times. The server holds a turn back’s code only scrambled, in memory, for an hour, and never stores it.

The API portal

The API portal is separate from the app. It keeps your email to sign you in, your keys and their use, and the payments HitPay tells us about. Its sign-in page says what it keeps, and you can delete your account there.
