Courier Route Planner ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application.
What we collect: Your current location (latitude and longitude), addresses you search for or add to routes, and location coordinates for route stops.
How we collect it: We request foreground location permission when you use the app. Location is accessed only when the app is active (not in background tracking), to set your starting point, optimize routes, display your position on the map, bias address search results, and preload map tiles.
Permission required: iOS: "Location When In Use"; Android: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
We collect route names and start times, stop addresses and coordinates, optimization data (distances, travel times, ETAs), route progress, and timestamps. Stored in Firebase Firestore (cloud) and locally for drafts and recent searches.
Automatically collected: device model and manufacturer, OS version, app version and build number, platform type, device identifier (Android: ANDROID_ID, iOS: IDFV). Purpose: analytics and app performance monitoring.
Via Firebase Crashlytics: crash reports and stack traces, device state at crash time. Purpose: stability. Not collected in debug/development builds.
Analytics about features used, screens viewed, app launches and session duration, routes created/completed, stops optimized, search queries and address selections. Service: Firebase Analytics.
Stored locally: preferred navigation app, distance unit, onboarding status, app review status, recent address searches (last 5).
Anonymous user ID (no email or password), subscription tier, usage limits (stops per route, optimizations per month, address search per month), account creation date. We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication.
We use data for: route optimization, navigation display and turn-by-turn via third-party map apps, service improvement, subscription/limit management, and local convenience (recent searches, preferences).
We DO NOT: track location in the background, sell your data, use data for advertising, or share data with other users.
Authentication (anonymous), Firestore, Analytics, Crashlytics. Data shared: user ID, device info, route data, usage events, crash reports. Privacy policy.
Route optimization and directions API. Data shared: stop coordinates. Privacy policy.
Address search and geocoding. Data shared: search queries, user location (for bias when permitted). Privacy policy.
Route optimization (when Mapbox or HERE limits are reached). Data shared: stop coordinates. Privacy policy.
Subscription and entitlement management. Data shared: anonymous user ID, subscription status, store transaction identifiers. Privacy policy.
Map tiles (Mapbox Maps SDK). Data shared: tile coordinates from visible map area. Privacy policy.
Cloud (Firebase): encrypted in transit and at rest; users can only access their own data. Local: auth ID in SecureStore (encrypted); drafts and preferences in AsyncStorage (cleared on uninstall). We use HTTPS and Firebase Security Rules.
Routes: 30 days (free) or 60 days (premium) from last modification, then auto-deleted; you can delete manually from "My Routes". User profile: deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Recent searches: last 5 only. Analytics and crash reports follow Firebase policies. Local cache cleared on uninstall.
You can: delete routes from "My Routes", rely on limited recent searches (5), change preferences in Settings, uninstall to remove local data, or contact us to request Firebase data deletion. You can revoke location permission in device settings; the app works with limited features without it. No background location tracking. Notifications can be disabled; we use them only for route navigation reminders.
This app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us.
We may update this policy from time to time by updating the "Last Updated" date and, for significant changes, an in-app notice where applicable. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance.
Uninstall the app (removes local data) and email us to request Firebase data deletion (provide device ID or approximate account creation date).
