Privacy Policy

About This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how DryRoute (the App, "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal data. It applies to the DryRoute iOS application and is written in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation 2016/679).

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for processing your personal data is the developer of DryRoute. For contact details, see the Contact section below.

Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data:

• Location data — your device's GPS coordinates or a manually selected location, used solely to fetch local weather forecasts. Location is never stored on our servers.
• Usage analytics (optional) — when you have not disabled analytics, we collect anonymised events such as which features you use. No personally identifiable information is included.
• Crash and performance data — collected automatically by Firebase to help us fix bugs and improve stability.

We do not collect names, email addresses, payment information, or any other directly identifying data.

Legal Basis for Processing

• Location & weather functionality — processing is necessary to perform the core service you requested (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
• Analytics — processed on the basis of your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings → Privacy by turning off "Share analytics data".
• Crash reporting — legitimate interest in maintaining a stable and secure application (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party data processors:

• Google Firebase (Analytics & Crashlytics) — Google LLC, USA. Processes anonymised usage and crash data. Data may be transferred outside the EU under Standard Contractual Clauses. ://google.com

No third party is permitted to use your data for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

Data Retention

• Location data is processed in memory only and is never persisted to our servers.
• Analytics events are retained by Google Firebase for up to 14 months, after which they are automatically deleted.
• Crash logs are retained for 90 days.
• Your preferences (unit settings, saved locations) are stored locally on your device only and are deleted when you uninstall the App.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject under the GDPR you have the following rights:

• Right of access (Art. 15) — you may request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16) — you may ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17) — you may request deletion of your data.
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18) — you may ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20) — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21) — you may object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Right to withdraw consent — you can disable analytics at any time in Settings → Privacy.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority (e.g. the Dutch Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens ).

Analytics & Your Choice

Analytics are enabled by default to help us analyze feature health, track user experience performance, and optimize our radar mapping response times. This metric data remains completely pseudonymous. You can opt-out at any moment via the application Settings menu.
