Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 July 2026

1. Who we are

Bharometer ("the app", "we", "us") is developed and published by DigiTally / Positiva Films, based in Mumbai, India. You can reach us at tally@positivafilms.com.

2. Data you enter

Bharometer stores the information you choose to add — such as your vehicles, fuel fill-ups, odometer readings, costs, reminders and settings. This data is stored locally on your device using Apple's Core Data framework.

If you enable iCloud sync, this same data is stored in your personal iCloud account so it can sync across your Apple devices and be backed up. It is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy and is not accessible to us.

3. Location

If you use the Pumps or Find pumps on route features, the app asks for permission to use your location. Your location is used only on your device to show nearby fuel stations and directions via Apple Maps. We do not collect, store or transmit your location to our servers.

4. Camera

The optional Scan the pump feature uses your camera to read the litres and amount from a fuel dispenser. Images are processed on-device and are not uploaded or stored by us.

5. Fuel prices

Bharometer does not fetch live or city fuel prices. The prices shown in the app are the ones you enter when logging a fill-up, stored on your device and used to calculate your own last-paid price and average.

6. Weather

If the optional weather snapshot setting is on (it is by default), the app records the temperature at the time of a fill-up using Apple's WeatherKit service. The approximate location of the fill-up is sent to Apple solely to fetch the weather; we never receive it. You can turn this off any time in Settings.

7. Analytics & crash reports

Bharometer uses PostHog, a privacy-first product-analytics service, to understand how the app is used — for example which screens and features are opened, and whether people return over time. This is collected anonymously: no name, email, phone number or advertising identifier is collected, and the data is never linked to your identity or used to track you across other apps or websites. It is processed on PostHog's EU infrastructure and used only to improve the app.

We may also use privacy-respecting, aggregated crash reports to understand crashes and improve stability. Where used, this data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you. We do not use advertising or cross-app tracking, and the app shows no ads.

8. In-app purchases (Bharometer Pro)

Bharometer offers optional paid upgrades (Bharometer Pro — monthly, yearly or lifetime). Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store using Apple's StoreKit framework. We never see or store your name, payment card, billing address or Apple ID. The app only checks, on your device, whether a Pro purchase is active so it can unlock Pro features. Apple's handling of your payment is covered by Apple's privacy policy. You can manage or cancel subscriptions any time in your Apple ID settings.

9. Information we do not collect

Bharometer never collects:

• Your name, email address or phone number — there is no Bharometer account.
• Your contacts, calendar, photo library or microphone.
• Your precise location on our servers — location is used on-device only (see sections 3 and 6).
• The advertising identifier (IDFA) or any identifier used to track you across other companies' apps and websites.
• Your browsing or search history.
• Payment or card details — Apple handles all payments.

And we never will, without asking you first. Additionally:

• We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.
• We do not show ads and use no advertising SDKs.

10. Third-party services

The complete list of third parties involved in running Bharometer:

• Apple — App Store purchases, iCloud sync (your private database), Apple Maps for pumps & directions, and WeatherKit for the optional weather snapshot. Apple privacy policy.
• PostHog (EU) — anonymous product analytics, as described in section 7. PostHog privacy policy.

No other service receives any data from the app. This website (bharometer.com) is hosted on Vercel, which may keep standard, short-lived server logs for the site itself — the app does not send your data here.

11. Data retention & deletion

Because your data lives on your device and in your iCloud, you are in control. You can delete individual entries, or remove all data by deleting the app and turning off iCloud sync. Deleting the app removes its on-device data.

12. Children

Bharometer is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "last updated" date. If a future version of the app ever introduces a feature that collects new kinds of data, it will be opt-in and explained before you enable it.
