Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 July 2026
WayBeacon is built for truck drivers, not for harvesting your data. This policy explains what little we collect, why, and the control you have over it. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
01What we collect
Account details: if you create an account, we store your email address and a securely hashed password. That's it — no name is required.
Your data: vehicles, fuel fill-ups and price alerts you choose to save. This is yours; it stays tied to your account and is never sold.
Location: if you allow it, your device shares your location with the map so we can show nearby fuel. We do not store your location on our servers.
Basic analytics: aggregate, non-identifying usage (e.g. page views) to understand what's useful. No third-party ad trackers.
02How we use it
To run the app: show you fuel prices, save your logbook and vehicles, and send the price alerts you set up.
To contact you: transactional emails only — account confirmation, password resets, and alerts you asked for. We will not spam you.
We never sell your personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.
03Fuel and map data
Fuel prices and rest-area data come from Australian government open data (NSW Government FuelCheck (NSW, ACT & TAS), Service Victoria Servo Saver, WA FuelWatch, Queensland Government, Transport for NSW) and are displayed with attribution. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any government body.
Prices are provided as-is and may be delayed or incorrect. Always confirm the price at the bowser.
04Storage and security
Your data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) hosted in Australia, protected by row-level security so only you can read your own records. Passwords are hashed; we never see them.
No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
05Your rights
You can access, correct or export your data from your account at any time.
You can delete your account, which permanently removes your email, vehicles, fill-ups and alerts. Use the contact form on this site if you need help.
06Changes
If we update this policy we'll change the date above and, for material changes, notify signed-in users. Continued use means you accept the current version.
