Mobile Applications
Driving Enthusiast develops and publishes mobile applications, including a vehicle performance-testing application that uses a device’s GPS functionality to measure vehicle speed, acceleration and distance.
Location Data
Our vehicle performance-testing application requires access to the device’s location services to perform its core functions.
GPS information is processed locally on the user’s device to calculate vehicle performance measurements, including 0–100km/h acceleration times, speed and distance travelled.
Driving Enthusiast does not collect, transmit, store on external servers or share users’ GPS coordinates, location history or vehicle performance results.
Location access is used only for the application’s performance measurement functions.
Users can manage or revoke location permissions at any time through their device settings. Disabling location access may prevent the application from functioning correctly.
Data Storage and Privacy
Vehicle performance calculations are performed locally on the user’s device.
Driving Enthusiast does not have access to individual users’ driving activities, GPS locations or performance measurements.
The application does not require users to create an account or provide personal information to use its GPS performance-testing functions.
Third-Party Services
The application is distributed through Google Play. Google may independently process certain information relating to app purchases, downloads and usage in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Driving Enthusiast does not receive users’ GPS location data or vehicle performance measurements through Google Play.
For more information, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
Data Security and Retention
Driving Enthusiast takes reasonable steps to protect personal information under its control against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure.
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.
GPS data used by our vehicle performance-testing application is processed locally on the user’s device and is not retained by Driving Enthusiast on external servers.
