Privacy Policy — Ad Trip

Last updated: 26 September 2026

Ad Trip ("the app") helps you plan road trips in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and Malaysia. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to get rid of it. It covers the Android app and the web version at traveller-s-compass-8d356.web.app.

What we collect

DataWhyWhere it is stored
Your phone number It is how you sign in. We send a one-time code to verify it. We do not use it for marketing and we do not send you promotional messages. Firebase Authentication (Google)
Trip history — the routes you planned, their distance, and the regions they crossed To show your recent searches and trip statistics, and to bring them back when you sign in on another device. Cloud Firestore (Google), plus a copy on your device
Saved vehicles — the nickname, type and mileage you enter To estimate fuel cost without asking you again each time. Cloud Firestore (Google), plus a copy on your device
Recent searches and app preferences (default vehicle, notification toggles, theme, and any fuel price you set) To keep the app set up the way you left it. Cloud Firestore (Google), plus a copy on your device
Places you search for and the start/end points of routes you request Sent to Google Maps Platform to return routes, places and elevation data. We do not store these separately from the trip history above. Processed by Google Maps Platform

What we do not collect

Who else can see it

Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore) as our processor. Route, place and elevation lookups are sent to Google Maps Platform to be answered. Map tiles are served by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Each of these receives only what is needed to answer the request. We do not share your data with anyone else, except where we are legally required to.

Security

Your data is held under your account and protected by Firestore security rules that permit access only to requests carrying your own verified sign-in token. No other user of the app can read your data.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Delete your account and it is removed — see below.

Deleting your account and data

You can delete your account and everything stored with it at any time:

This erases your Firestore record — trip history, saved vehicles, recent searches and preferences — and your Firebase Authentication account, including your phone number. It is immediate and cannot be undone. Routine backups are purged on Google's standard rolling schedule.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the change affects how your data is used, notify you in the app.
