Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 23, 2026 · Last updated: July 28, 2026
Carbura is an independent mobile app that helps drivers compare fuel prices nearby. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any government, ministry, regulator, or public authority. We collect the minimum data needed to deliver that service and do not sell your personal information to any third party.
2. How We Use It
The data listed above is used exclusively to:
- Show you fuel stations sorted by proximity to your current location
- Display prices in the correct currency and language for your selected country
- Remember your country and language preference across sessions
We do not use your data for profiling, tracking, or any purpose beyond operating the app's core features.
3. Advertising — Google AdMob
Carbura displays banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC). AdMob may collect and use the following to serve relevant ads:
- Advertising ID (Android Ad ID / IDFA)
- Approximate location (if you have granted location permission)
- Device information (model, OS version, screen size)
- App usage signals (which screens you visit)
This data is processed by Google under their own privacy policy. You can review it at policies.google.com/privacy.
To opt out of interest-based advertising on Android, go to Settings → Privacy → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization.
4. Third-Party Data Sources
Carbura fetches fuel prices from official government open-data APIs and community-reported sources depending on the country selected. No personal data is sent to these services — requests contain only a country identifier and, where required for geographic filtering, a city name or bounding box derived from your selection.
Each country's source is also shown and linked inside the app on the About screen.

5. Data Retention
All data stored by Carbura lives locally on your device. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data in your device settings (Settings → Apps → Carbura → Storage → Clear Storage) or by uninstalling the app.
We have no server-side records of your preferences or searches to delete on your behalf.
6. Children's Privacy
Carbura is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
7. Your Rights
Because we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, most data-subject rights (access, rectification, erasure) are exercisable directly on your device. If you have a question about data processed by Google AdMob, you can contact Google directly or use their Data & Privacy dashboard.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR. If you are in California, you have rights under the CCPA. To exercise any right, or if you have any concern, contact us at the address below.
8. Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
