GasPal helps drivers compare nearby fuel prices and view an experimental market-based timing outlook. This policy explains the information GasPal may process when you use the service.
Location. If you choose to use your location, GasPal processes your device location to find nearby gas stations and prices. You can instead enter a city or ZIP code. GasPal does not require an account to use the core service.
Usage and device information. GasPal may collect product analytics such as visits, feature interactions, referral/source information, approximate device/browser information, and anonymous installation or session identifiers. This helps us understand whether GasPal is useful and improve the product.
Shared nearby price observations. When you view U.S. regular-gas prices, GasPal may reuse station-level price information that was already fetched for your visit to detect later reported changes. This short-lived internal history includes the public station identifier, station location, reported price, price-source modification time, and the time GasPal received the report. It does not attach your name, account, or device identifier to the station record. Other users only see derived change counts, not a replay of the saved HERE database. Browser-supplied reports are considered preliminary and do not independently change timing recommendations. Saved station history expires after six days and is scheduled for deletion once daily. An unsuccessful cleanup may delay physical removal, although expired history is excluded from comparisons. For abuse prevention, a rotating one-way network fingerprint is kept for no longer than two days without storing the raw IP address in that rate-limit table.
Information you submit. If you submit station information, fuel prices, savings details, feedback, or sign up for alerts, GasPal processes the information you provide. Alert signups may include a phone number, email address, or WhatsApp number depending on the option you select.
We use information to provide nearby station results, generate and evaluate GasPal recommendations, operate alerts you request, measure product performance and savings, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, and improve GasPal.
GasPal uses service providers to operate the product, which may include hosting and serverless infrastructure, database services, mapping/location services, and product analytics. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to GasPal and are subject to their own privacy and security practices.
GasPal uses Google's AdSense site verification code and may display Google-served advertising after our site is approved. When GasPal pages load, Google's code may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, and may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with Google's policies. Any advertising personalization or consent choices will depend on your location and applicable settings. You can learn more about how Google uses information for advertising and manage eligible preferences in Google My Ad Center.
GasPal does not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate GasPal, when required by law, or to protect the security and integrity of the service.
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including operating the service, measuring product performance, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
You can decline location access and use city or ZIP entry instead. You can also stop using optional alert features at any time. To request access, correction, or deletion of information you submitted, contact us.
GasPal is not directed to children under 13.
We may update this policy as GasPal develops. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
