Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 21 October 2026
When using the Petrol Prices UK mobile application and related services, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Petrol Prices UK and how we use it.
1. Geolocation Data
Our app includes a location-based feature to help you find the cheapest fuel stations nearby and calculate journey costs. When you grant location permission, your device's GPS coordinates are processed to fetch and sort local results. We do not store your precise GPS coordinates or personal travel history on our servers.
2. Third-Party Advertising & AdMob
This app uses Google AdMob to serve advertisements for users on the free tier. Google is a third-party vendor that uses advertising identifiers and cookies to serve ads based on your use of this app and other apps on your device.
- Google's use of advertising identifiers enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to users based on app usage.
- We utilize Google-certified advertising tools and consent flows to collect necessary permissions for ad personalization in compliance with regional standards.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising through your device's system settings (e.g., Google Ads Settings or device privacy controls). Pro subscribers enjoy an ad-free experience.
3. In-App Purchases & Billing
All in-app purchases and subscriptions (such as Petrol Prices Pro) are processed securely through Google Play Billing or the Apple Appstore. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card or financial payment details; all billing transactions are handled entirely by the respective app store platform.
4. Log Files & Analytics
The app and its underlying infrastructure may collect standard diagnostic information, crash logs, and performance data to help us improve stability and reliability. This information includes device type, operating system version, and aggregate usage statistics, which are not linked to any personally identifiable information.
5. Data Sources & Accuracy
The fuel price data displayed is sourced from the Fuel Finder Service. While we strive for accuracy, fuel prices are displayed as provided by retailers and should be verified at the forecourt before refuelling. Price changes by retailers are shown in our app within 15 minutes of the price change occuring.
6. Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to request access to any data held about you, the right to rectification of inaccurate data, and the right to request erasure of your data under certain conditions. Since we do not require user accounts or store personal identifiers, most of these requests are not applicable to our direct operations.
