Privacy Policy

Effective 5 October 2026

In short: cyfuel Map has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. We don't collect or sell personal data. Your location is only used on your own device, when you tap "Near me". If you plan a trip, its start and end are used to work out the route and are not stored. If you turn on price alerts, we keep only what is needed to send them, and you can delete it at any time.

Who we are

cyfuel Map (cyfuel.com and the cyfuel app) is a free, independent service that shows fuel prices at petrol stations in Cyprus. It is not affiliated with the government or with any fuel company. You can contact us on Instagram at @cyprusfuel.

What we don't collect

We don't ask for your name, email or phone number, there are no user accounts, and we don't use advertising, cookies for tracking, or analytics that identify you.

Your location

When you tap Near me, your phone or browser asks for permission to share your location. If you allow it, your location is used only on your device to calculate distances and show nearby stations. It is never sent to our servers and never stored by us. The one exception is the trip planner, below. You can withdraw permission at any time in your phone or browser settings.

Trip planner

When you plan a trip, the start (your location, if you choose My location, or a place you pick) and the destination are sent to our server and to openrouteservice (run by HeiGIT gGmbH in Heidelberg, Germany), which works out the road route and the distances to stations along it. While you type a place, the text you type is sent to openrouteservice to suggest matching places in Cyprus. We use this only to answer your request: we don't store or log your trip, and we don't link it to you. Identical place searches may be answered from a cache for a day, without anything that identifies who searched. When you tap Go with Google Maps, the start, the stop and the destination are passed to Google Maps.

Price alerts

Price alerts are optional. If you set one, your browser or phone asks for permission to show notifications, and then gives us a push address: a random web address at your device's notification service (Google for Chrome and Android, Apple for Safari and iPhone, Mozilla for Firefox, Microsoft for Edge on Windows). We store on our server, at Cloudflare:

We don't receive your name, phone number, email or location, and the push address doesn't tell us who you are. The notifications we send through these services are empty: the text is fetched from cyfuel.com by your device, so the notification services don't see what an alert is about.

To delete your alerts, remove them on the Price alerts page, or tap Turn off all alerts there, which deletes everything above from our server. If you block notifications or uninstall the app, the notification service tells us the address no longer works and we delete it the next time we try to send an alert.

What is saved on your device

This information stays on your device. You can delete it by clearing the site data for cyfuel.com in your browser, or by uninstalling the app.

Services we rely on

Like any website, loading cyfuel Map means your device connects to the servers below, which receive technical information such as your IP address and browser type. We don't receive or combine this information.

Only if you tap them: Directions opens Google Maps, the Instagram link opens Instagram, and Call opens your phone's dialler. Those services have their own privacy policies.

Fuel price data

Station information (brand, operator name, address, phone number and prices) comes from the public Retail Fuel Price Observatory of the Consumer Protection Service of the Republic of Cyprus. It describes petrol stations, not app users. If you run a station and think its information is wrong, please contact the Observatory or us.

Children

cyfuel Map is meant for drivers and is not directed at children.

Your rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you can ask about any personal data concerning you and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Apart from price alerts, which you can see and delete yourself in the app, we don't collect personal data about app users, so there is usually nothing for us to provide, but you are welcome to contact us. You can also complain to the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of Cyprus (dataprotection.gov.cy).

Changes

If we change how cyfuel Map handles data, we will update this page and its effective date.
