Privacy Policy

Overview

FillItUp.uk is a free fuel price comparison service for the United Kingdom. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Data We Collect

• Location data – if you use “Use my location”, your browser or device requests your current GPS coordinates. These are sent to our server only to perform the nearest-station lookup and are not stored or logged.
• Search queries – postcodes or place names you type are geocoded via the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service (a third-party API operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation). We do not store your search history.
• Server logs – standard web-server access logs (IP address, timestamp, URL path, user-agent) are retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes. We do not sell or share these logs with third parties.

Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not require registration or login of any kind.
• We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking scripts.
• We do not store personal profiles or build user histories.

Fuel Price Data

All fuel prices are sourced from the UK Government Fuel Price Transparency API . This is public data. We cache it in memory for up to 10 minutes to reduce load on the government API; we do not store it permanently.

Third-Party Services

• Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) – used for geocoding postcodes and place names. Subject to the OSMF Privacy Policy .
• Google Maps – navigation links open Google Maps in a new tab. If you click a navigation link, Google’s own privacy policy applies.

Mobile App

The FillItUp.uk mobile app (iOS and Android) requests location permission to show nearby stations. Location is used only for the search query and is not stored or transmitted beyond what is necessary to return results. The app stores a short-lived local cache (10 minutes) of search results on your device for offline viewing.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to request access to any personal data we hold about you, to request its deletion, and to object to its processing.

Because we do not store personal data beyond short-lived server logs, in most cases there is nothing to access or delete. For any privacy queries, contact us at privacy@fillitup.uk.
