When you first start navigating or perform a reset, your device asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use LIVE services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you share this information with us at any time. The method used to stop the sharing of information with TomTom depends on your type of navigation device.
