Cheapest Fuel Finder ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at https://cheapestfuelfinder.com. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our fuel price comparison service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide our service:

• Search queries — Postcodes and locations you search for, stored locally on your device.
• Geolocation — Only when you explicitly grant permission, to find nearby forecourts.
• Account information — If you create an account: email address and display name.
• Price alerts — Alert preferences you set (postcode, fuel type, target price).

3. How We Use Your Information

• To display fuel prices near your searched location.
• To send price alert notifications you have opted into.
• To improve our service and fix technical issues.

4. What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
• We do not display advertising or use advertising trackers.
• We do not track you across other websites.
• We do not share your information with data brokers.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies only — to remember your preferences such as dark mode, preferred fuel type, and recent searches. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.

6. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. Search preferences are stored locally in your browser. Account data is stored on secure servers with access controls.

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You can also withdraw consent for location access through your browser settings.

8. Third-Party Services

We source fuel price data from the UK Government's open data initiative. If you create an account, authentication is provided by Firebase (Google). We do not share your search history or personal data with these services beyond what is required for authentication.
