Frequently asked questions

Privacy

Q: Does DIMO sell my data to my insurance company?

A: You know how your phone only shares your location or camera if you tap "allow"? DIMO is similar. Your data is only shared when you open up a DIMO-compatible app and share. You can also revoke that sharing at any time.

Usefulness

Q: Why should I connect other than for the rewards?

A: Because DIMO Mobile is a fun and useful app for managing your car. And even then, it just happens to be first one. There are many apps on the way that help you do all kinds of things with your vehicle. Some help save you money, some make maintenance easier, and some are just for fun.

Token

Q: How do I earn weekly rewards every Monday?

A: Connect in DIMO Mobile and drive at least once per week. Earn the most with the adapter and build a streak for even more. You don't earn more for driving extra miles.

Q: Are you selling my data when I sign up? Where do the rewards come from?

A: No, rewards are not funded by selling your data. You decide who it's shared with. When DIMO was created, 450 million tokens were set aside for driver rewards.

Q: But what if I want to sell my data?

A: Then you should! Soon, there will be data unions that you can opt into. They can sell your data and give you a dividend on top of your weekly rewards.

Q: So what's the business model? Why does the DIMO token matter?

A: When you share your car with apps like DIMO Mobile, the developer pays a monthly fee. More apps = more demand for DIMO tokens.
