If you have questions about how your data is handled, contact us at the email above.

What data we collect

We collect the following categories of data:

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. Collected automatically through server logs.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see the Cookies section below.
• Account data — if you register or log in (including via Facebook OAuth), we store your email address, display name, and any preferences you save.
• Vehicle and fuel data — if you use the fuel-tracking feature, we store the vehicle and fill-up data you submit.
• Aggregate analytics — anonymous visit counts and page-view statistics via Google Analytics.
• Advertising data — if you consent, Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to personalize ads.

Legal basis for processing

We process personal data under one of the following legal bases (GDPR Art. 6):

• Consent — for advertising cookies and full analytics tracking. You can withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie settings button.
• Legitimate interest — for anonymous aggregate analytics, security logging, and protecting the website from abuse.
• Contract — for delivering the features you use after creating an account.
• Legal obligation — where required by law (e.g., retaining records for tax or law-enforcement purposes).

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes. You can manage your preferences at any time using the Cookie settings button below or in the page footer.

Strictly necessary

Required for the website to function. These include the session cookie (keeps you logged in) and CSRF tokens (security). Cannot be disabled.

Preferences

Used to remember choices you make (such as language, display preferences, or dismissed notifications). Stored on your device only; not shared with third parties.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to understand how visitors use the site.

• Always on (anonymous): Even if you decline analytics consent, we collect anonymous, aggregated pings (timestamp, page URL, referrer) used only for visitor-count modeling. These pings contain no identifiers and no cookies are stored on your device. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
• With consent: If you accept analytics, Google Analytics also stores a client identifier in cookies (_ga, _ga_*) and collects detailed behavioral data. Legal basis: consent.

Advertising

We display ads served by Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited). If you consent, AdSense uses cookies (e.g. __gads, __gpi) and similar technologies to deliver personalized ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized. Legal basis: consent.

For more details, see Google's advertising policies.

Cookie settings

How long we keep data

• Server logs: up to 90 days, then deleted.
• Account data: for as long as your account is active. After account deletion, data is removed within 30 days (except where retention is required by law).
• Analytics data: retained per Google Analytics defaults (14 months for event data; aggregated reports retained indefinitely).
• Advertising cookies: per the lifetime set by Google AdSense (typically up to 2 years).

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Restriction — limit how we process your data.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing.
• Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior processing.
