Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you sign in with Apple, we receive your Apple user ID and, if you choose to share them, your name and email address.
• Vehicle Information: Make, model, year, fuel type, tank size, and fuel efficiency you provide to personalize cost estimates.
• Location Data: With your permission, we access your location to find nearby gas stations and calculate driving routes. We request location only while the app is in use.
• Approximate Home Region (Premium): If you subscribe and enable the daily deals digest, we store a coarse approximation of your home area (accurate only to roughly 20 to 40 km, not your precise address) to scope your digest. It is sent only when it changes.
• Price Reports: When you submit a gas price, we store the station, fuel type, reported price, and your user ID. Reports automatically expire within 2 to 6 hours.
• Locally Stored Data: Saved places, recent destinations, recent stations, and saved drives are kept on your device, encrypted in the iOS Keychain. Apart from the coarse home region above, this data is not sent to our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Show you nearby gas stations and current fuel prices
• Calculate driving routes and fuel cost estimates
• Display crowdsourced prices from the community
• Track your Scout badge progress
• Improve the accuracy of price data

3. Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not use advertising or analytics tracking SDKs
• We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties
• We do not track your location in the background
• We do not access your contacts, photos, calendar, or microphone
• We do not use advertising identifiers (IDFA)

4. Data Storage and Security

Your authentication credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Account and vehicle data are stored in encrypted databases on AWS. All network communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. Privacy-sensitive on-device data is encrypted at rest in the iOS Keychain and is erased from your device when you sign out.

5. Data Retention

Price reports are automatically deleted within 2 to 6 hours. Your account and vehicle data are retained as long as your account is active. You can delete your account data by signing out.

6. Third-Party Services

• Apple Sign In: Authentication is handled by Apple.
• Apple Maps: Route calculation and map display use Apple's MapKit framework.
• Amazon Web Services: Our backend runs on AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB).

7. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access and delete it, to correct it, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not "sell" or "share" your personal information (CCPA/CPRA) and do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, delete your account in the app or email privacy@dwtailored.com.

8. European & UK Users (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA or UK, the data controller is DW Tailored Systems LLC (California, USA), reachable at privacy@dwtailored.com. We process your data to provide the app and your subscription (contract), with your consent (location, withdrawable in Settings), and for our legitimate interests. You may access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to processing, and lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
