Averagers Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data the Averagers mobile app ("Averagers", "we", "us") uses and why. Averagers helps you keep a chosen average speed over a distance. In short: no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your location is processed on your phone, and only a small, anonymous summary is shared if you leave community suggestions switched on.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is the individual operator of Averagers (who also operates Aihoy!). Contact: aihoy.app@gmail.com.

2. What data the app uses

Location — processed on your phone

• While a measurement is running, the app reads your GPS position about once per second to calculate distance, speed and your projected average.
• So that measuring continues when the screen is off or you switch apps, Android shows a permanent notification and iOS shows the location indicator for as long as a measurement runs. When the measurement ends, location access stops.
• Your route, speeds and positions are not uploaded or stored by us. They stay in the app's memory and are discarded when the measurement ends.
• On the start screen, if you have already granted location permission, the app reads your position once to look up community suggestions for where you are (see below). The app never asks for location permission just for this.

Settings — stored on your phone

• Your last target speed, distance and the community switch are saved locally on your device.

Community suggestions — anonymous, optional

If several drivers measured the same stretch, the app can suggest the most common setting with one tap. For this, when you finish a measurement with community suggestions switched on, the app sends only:

• the start and end point of the stretch, rounded to about 100 metres,
• the distance and the target average you chose (not the speed you actually drove),
• the date (day only),
• a random identifier created by the app at first use (an anonymous sign-in). It is not linked to your name, email, phone number or advertising ID. It is used only to count different drivers, so that one person's repeated trips do not count as many drivers.

We do not collect measured speeds, routes, exact times or anything that would show how fast you drove. Suggestions are only shown when at least three different drivers used the same stretch, and only as a summary (distance, most common target, number of drivers). Individual records are never shown to anyone.

You can switch community suggestions off at any time on the app's start screen. When switched off, nothing is sent and no suggestions are requested. The feature is not available in Germany, Switzerland and France; there the app does not send or request community data.

Technical data

• When the app talks to our server, our hosting provider processes technical data such as your IP address and request logs, which are kept only for a short time for security and troubleshooting.

Website: iOS waitlist

If you sign up on our website to be notified when the iPhone version is out, we store your email address, the language of the page and the time of sign-up. We use it for this one notification only — no newsletter, no marketing, and it is not linked to the app or to community data.

3. Why we use it (legal bases under the GDPR)

• Measuring on your phone — to provide the function you start yourself (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Community suggestions — our legitimate interest in offering useful, privacy-friendly suggestions based on anonymous data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can object at any time by switching the feature off.
• Technical logs — our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and working (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• iOS waitlist — your consent, given when you sign up (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time by emailing us; this does not affect earlier processing.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell data and we do not use advertising or analytics services. We use:

• Supabase — database and anonymous sign-in for community suggestions, and the iOS waitlist, hosted in the European Union.
• Your phone's location services (Google Play services on Android, Apple Core Location on iOS) — to determine your position, under the terms of your device platform.
• Google Play / Apple App Store — app distribution, under their own privacy policies.
• Ko-fi — if you choose to support us on our website, the payment is handled by Ko-fi and its payment providers under their own privacy policies. We never see your card details.

5. How long we keep data

• Community records are deleted automatically after 12 months, and only records from the last 12 months are used for suggestions.
• Measurement data on your phone is discarded when the measurement ends. Local settings are removed when you uninstall the app.
• iOS waitlist email addresses are deleted once we have sent the notification about the iPhone version, or earlier if you ask us to.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your data, to object to processing, and to data portability. You can delete the community records sent from your phone at any time in the app (About → Delete my community data). Switching the feature off stops any further sharing. For any request or question, contact aihoy.app@gmail.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority — in Hungary, the Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH, naih.hu), or the authority in your own country.

7. Children

Averagers is a driving aid and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Safety

Set up the app before you start driving and do not operate your phone while driving. Always follow traffic rules and speed limits; the app is an aid and does not replace your own attention.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
