CoastingMate (“the app”) is a fuel-efficient coasting assistant for HGV drivers. We designed it to collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.
Location (precise and approximate). While you use the app we read your device location to compute coasting prompts, build routes, and fetch traffic and weather for your position. Location is requested only while the app is in use and is never collected in the background.
Device-stored settings and logs. Your vehicle class, road condition, voice and routing preferences, and optional on-device road-test diagnostics are stored only in your device’s local storage. These never leave your device unless you copy them out yourself.
Your coordinates are sent over HTTPS to our secure API proxy (a Cloudflare Worker) solely to query our mapping and weather providers (HERE and OpenWeatherMap) so the app can show routes, junctions, traffic and weather. Our proxy does not store your location and does not combine it with any identity. We do not build profiles and we do not sell or share personal data with third parties for their own use.
The app has no account, no advertising and no third-party analytics.
Location is used transiently and not persisted by us. Device-stored settings and logs remain on your device until you clear them or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes all local data.
The app is a professional driving aid and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
All network traffic uses HTTPS. API keys are held server-side in our proxy and never shipped in the app.
Because we hold no server-side personal data, most requests are served by managing data on your device. For any privacy question or request, contact us using the developer contact details published on the CoastingMate Google Play listing.
We may update this policy; material changes will be noted here with a new “last updated” date.
