Privacy Policy

Throttl is a community platform for car enthusiasts to log spotted vehicles and organise local meetups. The app is operated by an independent developer. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at viktormaras2011@gmail.com.

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Account dataEmail address, hashed password, chosen username, and account creation date.
• Profile dataUsername, optional avatar URL, and optional bio.
• Car SpotsMake, model, year, colour, estimated value, location name, date spotted, optional photo, and optional notes you enter.
• EventsEvent title, description, location name, start/end times, recurrence settings, and optional cover photo.
• AttendanceWhich events you mark yourself as attending.
• PhotosImages you upload are stored in our cloud storage. Do not upload images that contain private or sensitive information.
• Location (geolocation)Only used locally in your browser to filter nearby events. Your coordinates are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

• —To authenticate your account and keep it secure.
• —To display your spots and events to other community members.
• —To associate your username with content you create.
• —To geocode location names you enter (via OpenStreetMap Nominatim) so distance filtering works for other users.
• —We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Throttl relies on the following third-party providers. By using Throttl, your data is also subject to their respective privacy policies:

The "Near Me" feature on the Events page requests access to your device's location. We ask for this permission so we can calculate distances between you and car events on your screen only. Your coordinates are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to or stored on our servers. You can decline the permission request at any time; the feature will simply be unavailable.

When you create an account, we send a one-time confirmation link to your email address via Supabase's authentication service. This is used solely to verify that you own the email address and to prevent account abuse. We do not send marketing emails.

Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data (spots, events, photos), contact us at viktormaras2011@gmail.com and we will process your request within 14 days.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• —Access the personal data we hold about you.
• —Request correction of inaccurate data.
• —Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• —Object to processing of your data.
• —Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).

To exercise any of these rights, email us at viktormaras2011@gmail.com.

Throttl uses browser cookies and local storage solely to maintain your authentication session via Supabase. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Throttl after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, contact the developer at viktormaras2011@gmail.com.
