Below is a complete list of permissions requirements the application asks access to when one is uploading the app at smartphone, with a short explanations of why access is required.

This app has access to:

Device & app history

The access to the Device & App History (OBD InCarDoc PRO version) is required to display application data above the other screens when the application runs in the background.

Location

Access to Localization is needed to determine the speed by GPS.

Photos/Media/Files

• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
• read the contents of your USB storage
• Storage

For parameters reading and recording, as well as mapping and logging, we need access to the one folder - Files, the application does not use your Media / Photo (this information Google Play brings together under one section).

So, all the data OBD InCarDoc app is storing at folder android/data/com.pnn.obdincardoc.com​ .
