Privacy Notice for Aleko
Last updated: 12 September 2026
1. Who this notice applies to
This Privacy Notice explains how Aleko processes information when you use the app. The controller for any personal data described here is the publisher identified on the relevant App Store or Google Play listing for Aleko.
2. What Aleko processes
Aleko may process the following categories of information:
A. Device location
Aleko uses your device's foreground and, where you enable it, background location to detect nearby average-speed sections, track active sessions, and power related notifications.
B. Local app settings and state
Aleko stores settings and state locally on your device, such as selected vehicle category, theme, locale, onboarding flags, notification preferences and current session state.
C. Local section history
Aleko stores recent completed section summaries locally on your device so you can review them later. These summaries can include items such as section name, average speed, distance, elapsed time, limit, completion time, and vehicle category.
D. Optional support payments and local recovery
All features are free. RevenueCat initializes only after you first open Support Aleko in the current app process. It uses an anonymous app-user identifier and store transaction information to retrieve support products, process one-time payments, reconcile uncertain results and provide purchase reports. The SDK may retain its own purchase metadata. Aleko does not send driving location or section history to RevenueCat.
Aleko keeps a separate, versioned local journal containing the store-project and anonymous identity, unresolved purchase attempts, transaction identifiers used for reconciliation and deduplication, queued confirmations and identifiers already acknowledged for display. This journal prevents automatic repeat charges and repeated thank-yous; it is not a visible purchase history. Aleko stores no payment-card details, contribution total or supporter profile/status. Support purchases do not affect access to any app features.
E. Network requests
Aleko may request updated section datasets and other app resources over the internet. As with most online services, the services receiving those requests may process standard technical information such as IP address, request metadata, and timestamps.
3. What Aleko does not do
Aleko does not require you to create an account.
Aleko does not store a continuous raw location history or route trace for your trips.
Aleko does not process or store your payment card details. Billing is handled by Apple or Google through their store systems.
4. Why this information is processed
Aleko processes information to:
- show maps and section information
- detect and track section sessions
- support background monitoring and notifications
- remember your settings and recent section history on your device
- offer optional support purchases and reconcile their completion safely
- download updated section data
- keep the app working, secure, and reliable
5. Legal bases
Where required by law, processing is based on one or more of the following:
- your consent, such as when you grant location or notification permissions
- performance of a contract, such as processing a voluntary support purchase you request
- legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the app
- compliance with legal obligations where applicable
6. Third-party services
Aleko may rely on third-party services, including:
- Apple App Store or Google Play for support payments, receipts, refunds and transaction handling
- RevenueCat for optional in-app purchases, transaction validation and purchase reporting
- Google Maps or related map services used by the app
- hosting or CDN services used to deliver section data updates
Those providers may process information according to their own privacy notices and terms.
7. Retention
Most app data described above is stored locally on your device and remains there until it is replaced, cleared, or removed when you uninstall or clear app data.
Purchase and billing records may also be retained by Apple, Google, RevenueCat, or other service providers under their own retention policies.
The recovery journal follows the app’s local-data lifecycle. Device backups may preserve or restore it. Clearing app data, reinstalling, changing store identity or restoring an older backup can limit payment reconciliation and thank-you deduplication. Store receipts remain the authoritative payment record. Aleko adds no analytics service or account backend.
8. Your choices
You can:
- deny or revoke location permissions in your device settings
- disable notifications in your device settings
- use all features without paying or opening Support Aleko
- request receipts or refunds through the store used for payment
- delete locally stored app data by clearing app data or uninstalling the app
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and complaint to a supervisory authority. Because much of Aleko's information is stored only on your device, deleting the app or clearing app data may be the most direct way to remove it.
10. Changes to this notice
This Privacy Notice may be updated from time to time. The latest version available in the app applies from the stated update date.
