# Privacy Policy (GeoGas PWA)

**Last updated:** 2026-01-14

## What this app does
GeoGas PWA helps you find nearby gas stations by requesting your device location (with your permission), showing it on a map, and searching for nearby stations.

## Data we process
- **Precise location (GPS / browser location):** Used *only* to:
  - Center the map around you
  - Search for nearby gas stations
  - Calculate distance from you to each station
- **No account, no sign-in.**

## Where your data goes
- **OpenStreetMap tile servers** (to render the map tiles): your IP address and tile requests are sent to the configured tile host when map tiles load.
- **Overpass API** (OpenStreetMap data query): your approximate search area (lat/lon + radius) is sent to fetch nearby stations.
- **Optional price provider endpoint** (`/api/prices.php`): only used if you enable it; then your search area may be sent to your configured provider.

## What we do NOT do
- No selling data.
- No cross-site tracking.
- No analytics by default.
- No storage of location on the server by default.

## Local storage
The app may store:
- Your consent preferences
- UI settings (e.g., preferred navigation app)
These are stored in your browser’s local storage.

## Retention
The app does not retain your location on a server by default. Any third-party services may have their own retention policies.

## Your choices
- You can deny location permission in your browser.
- You can clear local storage to reset consent/settings.
