LuxRoads Privacy Policy

The service LuxRoads, incorporated in the related iOS and Android apps, takes user privacy very seriously.

• This starts with the policy that no user account or any user data is required to operate the service, creating the advantage of a quicker start for the user when first launching the app. An optional username, which does not necessarily need to reflect the user’s real name, can be selected if desired.

• LuxRoads requires location services to operate. The obtained location data is never sent to a server (never leaves the device), collected in some way or used for any other purposes, other than the ones listed below:

  • Foreground location servies

    • Show user location on map.

    • Detect user proximity to map locations.

  • Background location services

    • Detect user proximity to map locations.

• All data points that are being sent to a server are completely anonymous and can be split among two different categories:

  • The minimum necessary data to be able to run the service (e.g. controls shared with all the other users).

  • A small amount of analytical data (number of user sessions and ad impressions, user preferences, app version, platform, … )

• Apple platforms only:

  • No third party framework is part of the app binary, reinforcing the focus on privacy and transparency.

• Android only:

  • Advertising inside the app is based on AdMob. Please refer to the AdMob privacy policy.

  • Analytics inside the app is based on Firebase. Please refer to the Firebase privacy policy.
