Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Fuel PK ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy applies to the Fuel PK mobile application for Android and to the Fuel PK website.
2. Information We Collect
Fuel PK is designed with a privacy-first approach. We collect only the minimum information needed to provide our services:
2.1 Account Information
To participate in price predictions, save your prediction history, and appear on the leaderboard, you must create a free account using your email address and a password. Anonymous voting is not supported — an account is required so each user can vote only once per poll. Your email is used for authentication and account recovery only; it is never displayed publicly on the leaderboard. Optionally, you may add a display name and phone number to your profile.
2.2 Prediction and Voting Data
When you cast a vote in a fuel-price prediction poll, we record your vote (UP or DOWN), the poll it belongs to, and the account that cast it. This is used to enforce one-vote-per-user, to calculate your points and streak, and to determine your leaderboard rank. Your individual votes are not displayed publicly; only aggregate totals (e.g., "60% voted UP") and your points/rank are visible to other users.
2.3 Push Notification Tokens
If you enable push notifications, we store a notification token so we can deliver price-change alerts and poll reminders to your device. This token is removed when you sign out or uninstall the app.
2.4 Diagnostic and Crash Data
The app may collect anonymous crash reports and basic diagnostic information (such as app version and operating system version) to help us identify and fix bugs. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
2.5 We Do NOT Collect
- Location data or GPS coordinates
- Financial information, payment details, or banking data
- Photos, camera access, microphone access, or media files
- Contacts or address book data
- Social media accounts or third-party authentication data
- Browsing history or tracking across other apps
- Any identifier for "anonymous" voting — voting always requires a real account
3. Browsing Without an Account
You can browse current fuel prices, view the trends chart, and use the trip cost calculator without creating an account. In this case, we do not collect any personal information from you beyond the anonymous diagnostic data described above. An account is required only to vote in polls, earn points, and appear on the leaderboard.
4. How We Use Your Information
The limited data we collect is used exclusively for:
- Authentication: Verifying your identity when you sign in and maintaining your session.
- Vote integrity: Ensuring each account votes only once per poll, and aggregating results accurately.
- Leaderboard rankings: Calculating your prediction score, streak, and rank position.
- Gamification: Awarding points for correct predictions and participation.
- Notifications: Sending price-change alerts and poll reminders (only if you opt in).
- Service delivery: Displaying fuel prices, managing poll data, and providing the calculator feature.
- App improvement: Aggregated, anonymized analytics to understand usage patterns and improve app performance.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share aggregated, anonymized, non-personal data for industry analysis. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
6. Push Notifications
Push notifications are opt-in. If you enable them, we use a third-party delivery service to send price-change alerts and poll reminders to your device. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings or by signing out of the app. Disabling notifications does not affect any other feature of the app.
7. Children's Privacy
Fuel PK is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access: You can view your prediction history, points, and profile information within the app.
- Update: You can update your display name and phone number in the app's profile section.
- Deletion: You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. Upon verification, we will delete your account, votes, and leaderboard entries within 30 days.
- Opt-out: You can stop using the app at any time. Uninstalling the app removes locally cached data.
9. Data Retention
We retain your account data and prediction history for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion or stop using the app for 12 consecutive months, we will delete your data within 30 days. Aggregated, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely for service improvement.
10. Fuel Price Data
Fuel prices displayed in the app reflect publicly announced prices for petroleum products in Pakistan. Fuel PK is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or representing the Government of Pakistan, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), the Petroleum Division, Pakistan State Oil (PSO), or any other government entity. We aggregate these prices for general information only.
Prices shown may vary by region, fuel station, or brand. For authoritative, up-to-date fuel prices, please refer to the official sources:
- OGRA: https://www.ogra.org.pk/
- Petroleum Division: https://petroleum.gov.pk/
- PSO: https://www.psopk.com/
Fuel PK does not represent a government entity. Please verify with the official sources above before making fuel-related decisions.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy within the app and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
