Privacy Policy
Pleno shows fuel and EV charging prices near you. It is designed to know as little about you as possible.
Last updated: 2026-11-10
The short version
- No account, no sign-in.
- No tracking, no analytics SDKs, no advertising.
- Your location is used on your device to find nearby prices. It only leaves it when you plan a trip or look at the map, to get routes and map data from Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android).
- We do not store personal data on any server.
Location
Pleno asks for your location so it can show stations and chargers around you, in the app, in widgets and in CarPlay and Android Auto. Your location is processed on your device and is never sent to us.
To get prices, the app downloads data directly from official public sources. These requests contain only what is needed to select the area:
- Spain: the province code (for example “28” for Madrid), sent to the Spanish Ministry's public price service.
- France: the coordinates of the search point and a radius, sent to the French government's open data API (data.economie.gouv.fr).
- Italy and Portugal: a map tile key covering an area of roughly 50 × 50 km, sent to our own static files hosted on GitHub Pages.
- Electric charging (Spain and France): a map tile key, sent to our own static files hosted on GitHub Pages, which contain the charging points and tariffs from the official sources.
- Live charger availability (France): the app downloads the national status file directly from transport.data.gouv.fr. It is a single static file for the whole country; the request contains no location and no identifier.
These requests carry no identifier of you or your device. Like any internet request, the receiving server sees your IP address; we do not run analytics on our files and we do not receive any logs that identify you.
Data stored on your device
Your favourite stations, your car settings (fuel type, tank size and consumption, or your electric car model, battery and charging preferences), preferences and cached prices are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.
Maps, routes and destination search
The map, routes and destination search are provided by your platform's map service: Apple MapKit on iPhone and Google Maps Platform on Android (Maps SDK, Routes API and Places API). When you plan a trip, its origin and destination and the text you type in the search box are sent to that service to calculate the route and suggest places; on Android the map also loads map data from Google for the area you are looking at. These requests do not include your name or any account, and we do not receive or store them. That processing is covered by Apple's privacy policy (apple.com/legal/privacy) or Google's (policies.google.com/privacy).
Purchases
On iPhone, subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store; on Android, by Google through Google Play. We never see your payment details; the app only receives from the store whether Pleno Pro is active.
Navigation apps
When you tap “Go”, Pleno opens the navigation app you chose (Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze) with the location of the station or charger. From then on, that app's own privacy policy applies.
Children
Pleno is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions: dpappssupport@gmail.com.
