Privacy Policy for Fuel Finder WA
Fuel Finder (“we”, “our”, or “the App”) is a mobile application designed to help users in Western Australia find and compare fuel prices at nearby fuel outlets.
This Privacy Policy explains how Fuel Finder handles information when you use the App.
1. Information We Collect
Fuel Finder is designed with privacy in mind.
We do not require users to:
- Create an account or register with the App.
- Provide their name, email address, phone number, or other personal information.
- Provide payment or financial information.
- Create or maintain a user profile.
Fuel Finder does not intentionally collect, store, or sell personal information about its users.
2. Location Information
Fuel Finder uses your device’s location to provide location-based features, including:
- Finding fuel stations near you.
- Showing the distance between your location and fuel outlets.
- Identifying fuel outlets offering lower fuel prices near your location.
- Helping you navigate to a selected fuel outlet.
Your location is used only to provide these features.
Fuel Finder does not store your precise location on our servers or maintain a history of your movements.
Location access is controlled through your device’s operating-system permissions. You can allow or deny location access through your device settings. If you choose not to provide location access, some location-based features of the App may not be available.
3. Fuel Price and Fuel Outlet Data
Fuel Finder obtains fuel price and fuel outlet information from FuelWatch, a service provided by the Government of Western Australia.
The information displayed by Fuel Finder may include:
- Fuel outlet name and location.
- Fuel type.
- Current or advertised fuel price.
- Other publicly available information provided through FuelWatch.
Fuel Finder does not own or independently verify the underlying FuelWatch data. Fuel prices and availability may change, and users should refer to the official FuelWatch service for the most current information.
4. Use of Navigation Services
Fuel Finder may allow you to obtain directions to a selected fuel outlet.
When you choose to navigate to a fuel outlet, the App may open or use a third-party mapping or navigation service available on your device, such as Apple Maps or Google Maps.
Once you leave Fuel Finder and use a third-party navigation service, that service’s own privacy policy and terms of use apply. Fuel Finder does not control how third-party navigation providers process your information.
5. How We Use Information
Information and data available through the App are used solely to provide and improve the functionality of Fuel Finder.
In particular, location information is used to calculate proximity and display relevant fuel outlets and prices based on your location.
We do not use your location or other information to:
- Build a personal profile about you.
- Sell or rent your personal information.
- Send unsolicited marketing communications.
- Track your movements over time.
6. Data Storage
Fuel Finder does not maintain user accounts or user profiles.
We do not intentionally store your precise device location or location history on our servers.
The App may temporarily process information on your device as necessary to provide its functionality. Such information is not intended to identify you personally.
7. Third-Party Services
Fuel Finder relies on certain third-party services to provide its functionality, including:
FuelWatch – Government of Western Australia
Fuel price and fuel outlet information is obtained from FuelWatch.
Mapping and Navigation Providers
When you request directions, the App may use a mapping or navigation service installed or available on your device.
These third-party services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for information about how they handle data.
8. Children’s Privacy
Fuel Finder does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.
Because the App does not require registration or the submission of personal information, it is designed to minimise the collection of user information.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be posted within the app with an updated effective date.
10. Western Australia Only
Fuel Finder is intended for use within Western Australia, Australia.
The fuel price information provided through the App is based on information available from the Western Australian Government’s FuelWatch service.
