GasPulse Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

GasPulse is a simple gas-price tracker made by an independent developer (Misha). Your privacy matters, and the app is built to need as little of your information as possible.

The short version

• No account and no sign-up.
• No ads, no trackers, no analytics, and no advertising identifiers.
• The app works without collecting any personal information about you.
• The only time information leaves your device is if you choose to send feedback.
• Your information is never sold.

Information the app does not collect

GasPulse does not require an account and does not track you. It does not use advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking technologies, and it does not collect your location, contacts, photos, or device identifiers.

Information stored only on your device

To work, the app saves a few preferences locally on your device using the system's standard storage. This never leaves your phone. It includes things like the state you last selected, the regions you choose for price alerts, the last alert baseline prices needed to compare weekly changes, small counters the app uses to decide when to (rarely) ask you to rate it, and a local fingerprint used to avoid sending duplicate feedback. Deleting the app removes all of it.

Gas-price data

The app downloads weekly average gas prices (originally published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration) from static files hosted on GitHub Pages. This is an ordinary web request and does not include any personal information about you. As with any website, the hosting provider (GitHub) may record standard technical logs such as IP address; GasPulse does not have access to or use that information.

Feedback you choose to send

GasPulse includes an optional "Send feedback" form. If — and only if — you choose to use it, the app sends:

• the message you write;
• your email address, but only if you choose to enter one (it is optional);
• your app version and iOS version, to help understand and reproduce issues.

This is delivered through Formspree, a third-party form service, which forwards it to the developer's private inbox. It is used only to read your feedback and, if you provided an email, to reply. GasPulse does not use it for marketing or sell it. Formspree processes this information to deliver it to the developer; its privacy policy governs that processing. If you do not use the feedback form, none of this is collected.

Third-party services

• GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.) — hosts the gas-price data files the app downloads.
• Formspree — delivers the feedback messages you choose to send.

Each service has its own privacy policy governing its handling of data.

Children's privacy

GasPulse is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices and data deletion

You can use the entire app without providing any personal information. If you have sent feedback and would like it deleted, contact us (below) and it will be removed.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, this page and the "last updated" date above will be updated.
