Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
This Policy explains what personal data SmartDriver collects, for what purpose, and what your rights are. The identity and contact details of the data controller are set out in section 8.
1. What data we collect
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Email and password | Create and authenticate your account |
| Activation code and licence status | Control the validity of your subscribed access |
| Device identifier | Apply the one-active-device-per-account policy |
| No-go zones (coordinates you draw on the map) | Save your preferences and sync them across devices |
| Payment data | Processed directly by the payment provider; not stored on our servers |
Offers are analysed on your device. Screen images are not sent to servers.
If you tap an address link or “View route in Google Maps”, the selected addresses are opened in Google Maps to show the location or calculate the route. You initiate this action; it is not an automatic query and does not send the addresses to the SmartDriver server. The Google Maps Terms and Google Privacy Policy apply.
2. How we use the data
- Activate and validate your access to the App;
- Restore your no-go zones if you reinstall the App or switch phones (by signing in with the same account);
- Contact you about your subscription (e.g. an upcoming expiry notice);
- Comply with legal and tax obligations related to selling the Service.
3. Where it is stored
Account and licence data are stored on Firebase (Google), on infrastructure within the European Union. The website and payments are processed through our hosting and payment providers.
4. Sharing with third parties
We do not sell your data. We share only what is strictly necessary with service providers that support our operations (hosting, authentication, payment processing), subject to their respective confidentiality commitments.
5. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or request portability of your data, as well as to object to its processing. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting geral@smartdriver.pt. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD).
6. Data retention
We keep account data for as long as the account is active. After cancellation or deletion of the account, data is deleted or anonymised, except where the law requires longer retention (e.g. tax obligations).
7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates the latest version.
8. Data controller
The data controller is Fernando Manuel Gomes Aleixo Dorotea, a sole trader, Portuguese tax ID (NIF) 166705667, reachable at geral@smartdriver.pt.
