Gas On Route privacy policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
Gas On Route finds cheap fuel along your route in Spain, on Android (with Android Auto) and iPhone. It has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking across apps or websites. It counts anonymous usage to improve the app (see Usage statistics) and reports its own crashes (see Crash reports). This page explains what the app sends where, and why.
Location
Your location is the start of the route. It is used on your device and sent only as part of the requests below. It is never stored by Gas On Route outside your device. You can also pick where a trip starts in the search instead (“Choose where you start”); that place is then sent in your location’s place, in the same requests.
The app asks for your location only while it’s in use: through the system’s location services on Android, and Core Location (“While Using the App”) on iPhone. You can say no and pick a start instead.
Requests the app makes
| Service | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
Spanish Ministry fuel-price service (sedeaplicaciones.minetur.gob.es) |
Nothing about you: a plain download of all station prices | Fuel prices |
Gas On Route’s routing server (OSRM, osrm.codeskraps.com) |
Coordinates of your start, your destination and candidate stations | Driving route and real detours |
The same server (osrm.codeskraps.com/ev/chargers.json), electric mode only |
Nothing about you: a plain download of all public chargers, built from the DGT’s open data and Open Charge Map’s prices | Charging points and their prices |
Gas On Route’s place-search server (Photon, photon.codeskraps.com) |
What you type or say in the search, and your approximate location to rank nearby results | Finding places, and naming a point you drop on the map |
OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org) |
Map tile requests for the area you look at | Drawing the map |
Gas On Route’s statistics server (Umami, umami.codeskraps.com) |
Usage events, see below | Knowing which features are used |
Gas On Route’s crash-report server (GlitchTip, crash.codeskraps.com) |
A report when the app crashes, see below | Finding and fixing crashes |
The routing and place-search servers are run by the developer of Gas On Route, only for the app. They answer each request and keep no record of its content; like any web server they may keep short-lived technical logs (IP address, time) for operating and protecting the service.
These services receive your device’s IP address as with any internet request. The Ministry’s and OpenFreeMap’s own privacy policies apply to what they do with it.
Usage statistics
Gas On Route uses Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool, on a server run
by the developer (umami.codeskraps.com). It records which screens and features are used,
for example that a route or nearby stations were searched, which fuel type, how many stations
were found, that an alternative route or a favourite was chosen, that the start of a route was picked
instead of your location (not which place), which maps app a stop was sent
to, or a changed setting such as the plug types, minimum charger power or the car’s range, or
that the range left or battery level was changed on the map or in the car (not the value).
Each event carries:
- the event and screen names, and small details such as the fuel type or a count;
- the app version, your phone’s operating-system version and model, and its language.
It carries no identifier for you or your device: repeat use isn’t linked to an install.
It never includes your location, destinations, searches, favourite places or the stations you look at. Umami doesn’t use cookies or fingerprinting, and the data isn’t sold or shared. The server sees your IP address for each request, as any web server does; Umami doesn’t store it, but uses it to estimate an approximate country, region and city for the statistics. Statistics are only sent by the published app (not by development builds). You can turn them off in Settings → Privacy → Usage stats; from then on nothing is sent.
Crash reports
When the app crashes, it sends a report to GlitchTip, an error-tracking
tool, on a server run by the developer (crash.codeskraps.com). A report contains:
- what went wrong: the error and where in the app’s code it happened;
- the app version, your phone’s model, operating-system version and language, and technical state such as free memory.
It never includes your location, destinations, searches, favourite places or the stations you look at: they are removed from error messages before a report is sent, and the app sends no record of what you did before the crash. Reports carry no identifier for you or your device and aren’t linked to the usage statistics. The server sees your IP address as any web server does. Crash reports are only sent by the published app (not by development builds); they are used only to fix the app, and aren’t sold or shared.
Navigation apps
When you tap a stop and choose a maps app, Gas On Route opens it with the station and, where that app supports them, the start and your destination, so it can guide you there: Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iPhone, Waze or Organic Maps. That app’s own privacy policy applies from then on.
Voice search
When you tap the microphone, speech is turned into text by your phone’s speech recognizer: Google’s (or your device maker’s) on Android, Apple’s on iOS, which may process audio on their servers under their privacy policies. Gas On Route only receives the resulting text and uses it as a search. On Android Auto, the microphone in the search bar is Android Auto’s own voice input: the car app never records audio and only receives the text.
Stored on your device
Favourite places, your settings (preferred fuel, theme, plug types, minimum charger power, the car’s range and maximum charging power, whether usage statistics are on, whether you’ve seen the welcome screens) and the last downloaded price and charger lists are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
Children
The app is not directed at children and doesn’t collect personal data: the usage statistics and crash reports above are anonymous.
