Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 October 2026
1. Data Controller and General Information
The data controller responsible for personal data processed through the mobile application Pump Radar (hereinafter, “the Application”) is Javierorp (independent developer), located in Spain, contact email: javierorp@proton.me.
This Privacy Policy governs data processing in the Application pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation EU 2016/679) and applicable Spanish data protection regulations (LOPDGDD).
The App has been developed to facilitate the viewing and comparison of fuel prices and the location of nearby petrol stations in Spain, Portugal, Andorra, France and Italy, based on official public information provided by the competent authorities of each country, detailed in the section 5, «Source of the Data Displayed».
2. Processed Data and Purposes
No account registration required: You can use the Application without creating an account or providing direct personal identity information (such as your full name, email, or telephone number). User preferences (such as favourite petrol stations, preferred fuel filters, and custom discount cards) are saved strictly locally on your device via secure on-device storage.
Technical device diagnostics: To diagnose performance issues, detect and prevent crashes, ensure compatibility, and maintain service security, the Application generates an anonymous pseudonymous installation identifier (deviceId) and may collect technical information such as device brand, model, RAM memory, and operating system version.
Comments and Feedback Section:
The Application includes a contact and feedback form allowing users to submit questions, suggestions, or incident reports. Data handling terms:
- Data processed: The submitted message, originating app screen, app version, pseudonymous device technical identifier, and, optionally, the user's email address if they request a reply.
- Purpose: To manage, address, and respond to the user's inquiry, suggestion, or issue.
- Legal basis: Consent granted by the user upon tapping "Send message" (Article 6.1.a GDPR) and legitimate interest in providing technical support and improving the service (Article 6.1.f GDPR).
- Retention: Data is kept only for as long as necessary to process and resolve the reported inquiry.
3. Device Permissions and Location Data
To deliver its core functionality of finding nearby service stations, the Application requests access to your device's geographic location (precise or approximate: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION).
How your location is processed:
- Locating nearby petrol stations: To retrieve and display stations within your selected search radius or along planned routes, the Application securely transmits your current geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) via encrypted connection (HTTPS) to the Application's servers.
- Service optimization and search statistics: Search parameters (search radius, selected fuel type, open status filter, and coordinates) may be recorded on the server linked to the pseudonymous device identifier (
deviceId) for server caching optimization, technical performance monitoring, and aggregated demand analysis. - No background tracking: The Application does not track or collect your location in the background. Location is queried only in the foreground when you actively interact with search queries, the interactive map, or the route planner.
- No data selling: Your location data is never sold, rented, or transferred to third-party data brokers, nor used for external ad targeting.
You can grant, deny, or revoke location permissions at any time through your device's operating system settings. If location access is disabled, you may still use the Application by performing manual searches by town or address.
4. Third-Party Services and International Transfers
To support core operations, cartography, and monetization, the Application integrates selected third-party service providers:
- Google AdMob (Google LLC): In the free version, ads are displayed through Google AdMob. AdMob may process device identifiers and cookies to serve ads. The Application integrates Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), allowing users to configure or revoke their consent for personalised or non-personalised ads at any time from app settings or via adssettings.google.com. Review the Google Privacy Policy for details.
- Ad suppression with paid subscriptions: If you purchase either the No-Ads Plan or the Pro Plan, the Google AdMob SDK is completely deactivated; no advertisements or advertising trackers are loaded while your subscription is active.
- Google Maps (Google LLC): The Application uses the Google Maps SDK to render interactive maps and visually display petrol station locations and route directions.
- RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.): Used for technical management of digital subscriptions and entitlement verification for Pro features. RevenueCat processes anonymous installation identifiers and transaction logs, without accessing sensitive financial or credit card information. Consult the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
- Google Play Store (Google LLC): In-app purchases and subscriptions are handled and billed strictly by Google Play Store. The Developer does not collect, access, or store payment card or banking details.
International Data Transfers: The third-party providers identified above (Google LLC and RevenueCat, Inc.) maintain servers located in the United States. Such international transfers are conducted in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC), ensuring an adequate level of personal data protection.
5. Source of Displayed Data
The prices, locations and opening hours of the petrol stations displayed in the App come from the official public datasets of each country, made available by the following authorities:
- Spain: Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO), through its fuel open data catalogue.
- Portugal: Direção-Geral de Energia e Geologia (DGEG), via the Preços dos Combustíveis portal.
- Andorra: Govern d'Andorra, through Preus dels Carburants.
- France: Ministère de l'Économie, via the Prix des carburants portal.
- Italy: Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (MIMIT), through the Osservaprezzi Carburanti portal.
The App is limited to processing and presenting such public information in a visual and accessible manner, without modifying its content.
6. Security and Data Retention
The Developer implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and security, utilizing encrypted communications (HTTPS with SSL/TLS protocols).
Data submitted via user feedback is retained only for the duration required to address the inquiry. Pseudonymous technical search logs are retained for limited periods to detect operational anomalies, protect infrastructure, and optimize service performance.
7. User Rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you hold the following rights regarding your data:
- Access: Inquire which technical data or messages are associated with your device or email address.
- Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete records.
- Erasure: Request deletion of your data when no longer needed for the purposes collected.
- Restriction and Objection: Request restriction of processing or object to processing based on legitimate grounds.
- Data Portability: Receive data provided directly in a structured, commonly used format.
- Withdrawal of Consent: Revoke granted permissions at any time (such as location permissions in device settings or advertising consent in app settings).
Exercising your rights: To exercise your rights, please email the Developer at: javierorp@proton.me. If you previously provided an email address in the feedback form, please send your request from that same email account.
To locate records linked to pseudonymous device diagnostics, your device identifier is needed. The easiest way to provide it is by opening the "Settings" screen in the app, going to "Contact", and tapping the email address shown under "Comments and suggestions" (this prepares an email with the necessary technical metadata under the header "-- DO NOT DELETE --"). Alternatively, you can automatically copy your device identifier to the clipboard by tapping five (5) consecutive times on the app version number located at the bottom right corner of the "Settings" screen.
Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe the processing of your data infringes applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, including the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) (www.aepd.es) or your local EU Data Protection Authority.
8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
The Developer reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy to reflect regulatory, technical, or operational updates to the Application. Any revisions will be published on this website and reflected in the Google Play Store listing or through in-app notices.
