Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to findpetrol.co.uk. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website (regardless of where you visit it from) and tell you about your privacy rights.

2. The Data We Collect

We design our platform to collect as little personal information as possible. We do not require you to create an account to search for fuel prices. However, when you interact with certain features, we may collect the following:

• Location Data: If you allow your browser to share your location, or when you type a postcode/town into our search bar, we process this to find nearby stations. This data is processed temporarily and is not linked to an identifiable individual profile.
• IP Addresses: If you use the "Spot an incorrect price?" feature to submit a price override, we temporarily log your IP address. This is strictly used for rate-limiting and security purposes (to prevent abuse and spam).

3. Third-Party Services & Analytics

We use select third-party services to provide core functionality and understand how our website is used:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We use Google Analytics to monitor traffic, user behavior, and site performance. GA4 may collect device information, IP addresses (anonymized where possible), browser types, and usage data. You can learn more about how Google uses this data here.
• Postcodes.io: We use this open-source API to convert postcodes and town names into geographic coordinates.
• OpenStreetMap: We use interactive maps powered by OpenStreetMap to display station locations visually.

These third parties may log your IP address or set cookies when delivering content to your browser, subject to their own respective privacy policies.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the basic functionality of the website and to enhance your online experience. You can choose to accept or decline cookies for analytics purposes (like Google Analytics) via our cookie consent banner. If you choose to decline, analytics tracking will be disabled during your session.
