Fuel Frugal Privacy Policy

Fuel Frugal is a UK fuel-price comparison app that helps users compare nearby forecourt prices, view station details, use maps and directions, and access premium convenience features such as favourite stations, Home and Work areas, alerts, and ad-free use. The Fuel Frugal website may also provide fuel-price search, support, feedback, and information pages.

Who We Are

Fuel Frugal is operated by Redfield Ecomm.

To contact Fuel Frugal, please use the support and feedback form.

Information We Use

Fuel Frugal may use the following information depending on the features you choose:

• Location, to show nearby stations and calculate distance.
• Typed searches such as a postcode, town, Home area or Work area.
• Saved stations, favourite areas and alert preferences.
• Account email address and subscription status if you create an account or subscribe.
• Feedback and support messages you send to us through the website or app.
• Basic technical information needed to keep the app reliable, such as app version, device type and error logs.
• Advertising-related information if ads are shown in the free version.

Location

Fuel Frugal asks for location permission so it can show nearby fuel stations and centre the map around your area. You can allow or deny location access in your device settings. If you do not allow location access, you can still search by typing a place or postcode where supported.

Fuel Price And Forecourt Data

Fuel Frugal uses UK Fuel Finder fuel price and forecourt data where available. Fuel Frugal aims to present prices in an unbiased way and not manipulate, hide, or selectively display prices to favour particular suppliers.

Fuel prices may differ from the pump price if a station has not updated its data, if there is a delay in the data source, or if an error has occurred. You can report suspected price issues through the support page.

How We Use Information

• To show nearby fuel stations and prices.
• To calculate distances from your chosen location.
• To remember app preferences, saved stations and saved areas.
• To provide maps, directions, alerts and subscription access.
• To respond to feedback and support requests.
• To improve reliability and diagnose errors.
• To comply with app store, legal and Fuel Finder fair-use requirements.

Sharing Information

Fuel Frugal may use service providers to run the website and app, including:

• Apple and Google for app distribution, subscriptions and platform services.
• Supabase or another backend provider for station data, accounts, alerts and app services.
• Mapbox or another map provider for in-app maps.
• An advertising provider if ads are shown in the free version.
• Support, analytics or crash-reporting tools if added.

This policy will be updated if Fuel Frugal adds or changes providers for maps, advertising, analytics, accounts, subscriptions or notifications.

Email Updates And Marketing

If Fuel Frugal offers email updates, you will only be added to a marketing email list if you explicitly opt in. Account creation alone should not be treated as marketing consent.

Your Choices

• Control location access in your device settings.
• Edit or remove saved Home and Work areas in the app.
• Turn notification options on or off in the app and device settings.
• Manage or cancel subscriptions through Apple or Google.
• Contact Fuel Frugal to ask about your data.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to how your personal information is used. UK users can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if they are unhappy with how their personal information is handled.

Children

Fuel Frugal is not designed for children and should not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes To This Policy

Fuel Frugal may update this policy when features, providers or legal requirements change. The updated date will change whenever the policy is updated.
