MyRouteBuddy | Privacy Policy

Data Collection

You provide: Stop addresses/labels, route names, completion status, and optional support messages.

Automatically collected: Crash logs, usage analytics (including install attribution and feature usage via Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics 4), device type, and general diagnostics used to maintain app stability and improve the app over time.

From third-party services: When you use Google Maps API to search for addresses, Google processes your search queries according to their privacy policy.

We do not collect: Your precise real-time location tracking, contact lists, or any data unrelated to route planning.

Data Storage & Sync

Local Data (Always Private):

• All route stops, addresses, and labels
• Route names and completion status
• Personal app settings and preferences
• Stored using iOS secure storage mechanisms

Cloud Data (Optional Sync):

• Firebase Authentication: If you sign in with Google or Email, your routes sync across devices securely
• Google Analytics: Anonymous usage patterns to understand feature adoption and improve UX
• Firebase Analytics + Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Analytics, install attribution, and performance/feature usage measurement (opt-in via iOS App Tracking Transparency where applicable)

In-App Purchases

We use RevenueCat and Apple's In-App Purchase system for MyRouteBuddy Pro subscriptions. Apple handles all payment processing according to their privacy policy. We do not store or access your payment card information.

Pro Features Include: Unlimited stops, priority support, and future analytics-assisted routing features.

Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services to provide app functionality:

• Firebase (Google) + Google Analytics 4: For app analytics, performance, and engagement insights (aggregated)
• Google Ads: May use aggregated analytics data to measure campaign performance and build non-identifying audience segments
• RevenueCat: For subscription management and billing
• Apple: For in-app purchases via App Store

ATT (iOS only): You will see an Apple App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt the first time you open the app on iOS. You can allow or decline tracking at any time in iOS Settings. Declining may limit personalized ads measurement, but core app features still work.

Opt-outs: You can manage tracking via iOS Settings and Google Ad Settings. No sensitive personal data (like route notes or stop details) is sold or shared with advertisers; analytics focuses on usage patterns and engagement.

Data Retention

Routes and stops: Retained while your account is active. Removed when you delete the app, clear data, or request account deletion.

Usage analytics: Anonymous usage data may be retained for up to 90 days for debugging and app improvement.

Crash logs: Retained only as needed to fix bugs and maintain app quality, then deleted or anonymized.

Data Deletion

You have full control over your data:

• Local Data: Delete the app to remove all local route data
• Synced Data: Sign out or contact us at support@ktforge.dev to permanently delete synced routes from our servers
• Account Deletion: Request full account deletion by contacting support

Note: Anonymous analytics data may persist for up to 90 days after deletion.
