Summary

Goodkar works without an account and keeps what you do on your device. Your location is used on-device to find pumps near you and is never uploaded. The pump reports you file are stored on your device in this version. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information.

1. Data We Process

Goodkar does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to us. Everything the app needs — your pump reports, any pump you add yourself, including where it is, the last pump you asked directions to, your recent searches and your app settings, including a city you pick by hand — is stored locally on your device.

  • No account or sign-up is required to use the app.
  • Your pump reports, the pumps you add, your recent searches, and your preferences are stored locally on your device using the operating system's standard app storage.
  • Your location is read on your device to sort pumps by distance and to check you are near a pump before reporting. It is not uploaded, and the app does not follow you or build a trail of your movements.
  • If you add a pump that is missing, the app saves that pump's coordinates on your device so it can show it on your map. When you add a pump you are standing at, those coordinates are your position at that moment. This stays on your device, and Delete my data removes it.
  • The app remembers the last pump you asked directions to, so it can ask how the visit went. That is one pump id on your device, and Delete my data removes it.
  • Pump reports you file are anonymous observations about a fuel station, not about you, and this version keeps them on your device rather than sending them to us.
  • Pump locations come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and ship inside the app, so browsing the map does not tell us where you looked.
  • The app does not transmit your personal data to our servers — we do not operate a server that receives your data.
  • The app does not include third-party advertising SDKs in this version. If that changes, this policy is updated before the new build ships.
  • The app does not include analytics that identify you personally.
  • You can permanently delete all app data at any time from Settings → Delete My Data inside the app, or by clearing the app's storage in your device settings or uninstalling the app.

2. Location

Goodkar uses your device location only while you have the app open, to sort nearby petrol pumps by distance, to confirm you are at a pump before you file a report, and — if you add a pump that is missing — to record where that pump is. Your location is used on your device only: it is not uploaded, it is never collected in the background, and the app keeps no running history of where you have been.

3. How Your Information Is Used

Data the app stores on your device is used solely to provide the app's features — for example, showing your progress, maintaining streaks, and remembering your preferences. It is never used for advertising profiling, and it is never sold.

4. Advertising

This version of Goodkar contains no advertising SDKs and shows no ads. We do not build advertising profiles about you. If advertising is ever added, this policy is updated before that build ships.

5. Purchases

Any in-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your payment details.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Because your data stays on your device, there is nothing for us to share.

7. Your Rights Under India's DPDP Act, 2023

As a Data Principal you have the right to access, correct and erase your data, and to raise a grievance. Because Goodkar keeps everything on your device:

  • Access & correction: all your data is visible and editable inside the app.
  • Erasure: use Settings → Delete My Data to erase everything instantly, or uninstall the app / clear its storage. Erasure is immediate and irreversible.
  • Grievance: email precisiongpt@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.

8. Retention

Your data exists only while the app is installed, and is erased the moment you use Settings → Delete My Data, or when you uninstall the app or clear its storage. We keep no server-side copy, so there is nothing for us to retain.

9. Children

Goodkaris not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly process a child's personal data or show children targeted ads.

10. Permissions

  • Location (approximate and precise) — used only while the app is open, to sort nearby pumps by distance and to check you are at a pump before you report. Never used in the background.

11. Changes to This Policy

We post changes at this URL and update the effective date above. Material changes are reflected here before the build that makes them ships.
