This privacy policy is effective as of January 2024 and applies to all users of Где Бенц. We update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices and applicable law. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the effective date and posting the revised policy here. Your continued use of Где Бенц after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
Где Бенц is an independent fuel-finding utility designed to help drivers locate nearby gas stations and compare real-time fuel prices. We are committed to your privacy and operate with full transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your information. Our mission is to provide a simple, fast, and reliable tool for finding fuel without unnecessarily collecting personal data. We do not sell user information and maintain strict data minimization practices across all operations.
Где Бенц collects your precise location (latitude and longitude) only when you actively search for nearby stations on the Map tab. We also collect fuel price updates you submit, your saved favorite stations list, and anonymous usage analytics including search frequency and fuel-type preferences by region. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, payment information, vehicle details, or personal browsing history. Location data is processed only on your device; no data is transmitted without your explicit action.
We use your location to show nearby fuel stations on the Map and sort results by distance. Price submissions help train our real-time fuel pricing engine, which is the killer feature of Где Бенц, improving accuracy for all users worldwide. Your saved stations list is stored locally on your device for instant access. Analytics help us understand which fuel types and regions generate the most searches, allowing us to improve station coverage and availability.
We do not sell, use, or disclose user data to third parties for any purpose. All location data remains on your device unless you voluntarily submit a price update or search. Even when you submit fuel prices, we strip location information and store only the station ID, fuel type, price, and timestamp. Your saved favorites list never leaves your device. We implement encryption for data in transit and apply strict access controls limiting staff to need-to-know bases.
Где Бенц uses three third-party services: Mapbox provides mapping and location search infrastructure; Sentry collects anonymized crash and error reports (receiving only stack traces, no location data); and Amazon Web Services (AWS) stores aggregated price history and analytics data (individual user data is never stored). Each processor operates under strict data protection agreements. We confirm these third parties provide the same or equal protection for user data as outlined in this policy.
Your location data is processed only during active search sessions and is discarded immediately when you close the app. Your saved favorite stations list persists locally on your device indefinitely until you manually delete entries. Submitted fuel prices are retained for 90 days to train our pricing algorithm; after 90 days, individual submission records are deleted and only aggregated price trends are retained. Anonymous usage analytics are retained for 12 months. Crash reports are deleted after 30 days. Device identifiers and session logs are retained for 7 days for abuse prevention.
Где Бенц is hosted on AWS servers located in the United States. Some third-party processors also operate in the US, where privacy laws may differ from your home country. If you access Где Бенц from outside the US, your data may be transferred to and processed in the US. By using Где Бенц, you consent to such transfers. We apply standard contractual clauses and other safeguards to protect your data in transit and at rest.
