Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026

The short version

Bharometer is built privacy-first. Your fuel log, vehicles and costs live on your iPhone and, if you enable it, in your own private iCloud. There is no Bharometer account, no Bharometer server, we don't run ads, and we never sell your data. We don't know who you are — we don't have your name, email, phone number or IP address.

  • No account required
  • No backend server
  • No ads
  • No data selling
  • Data stays yours

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.

Everything the app shows you — your mileage, averages, costs and trends — is calculated on your device from this information alone. The figures are only as accurate as the data you enter; please see our Terms of Use for how the app's results and accuracy are handled.

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.

We can't see your data — and we can't restore it either. Bharometer has no backend server. We don't save your fill-ups, costs or anything about you anywhere. Even when you buy Bharometer Pro, we don't get your details — that is managed entirely by the Apple App Store. The flip side: if you delete the app without an iCloud or CSV backup, we have no way to recover your data, because we never had a copy.

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 (or Google Maps, if you choose it and have it installed). We do not collect, store or transmit your location to our servers.

4. Camera

The optional Scan the receipt feature uses your camera to read the litres, amount and rate from a printed fuel receipt. You can also attach photos (receipts or bills) to your records. Images are processed and stored on-device and are not uploaded to 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.

This website uses the same anonymous analytics to count page visits and see which pages are useful. It is cookie-free — nothing is stored on your device, no personal information is collected, and visits are not linked to any identity.

If the app crashes or hits an internal error, an anonymous crash report is sent to Sentry, an error-monitoring service, so we can find and fix the problem. A report contains technical context only — the crash location in the code, device model, OS version and app version. It never includes your fill-ups, vehicles, location, or anything you have entered in the app, and it is not linked to your identity. Crash data is processed on Sentry's EU infrastructure. 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:

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

10. Third-party services

The complete list of third parties involved in running Bharometer:

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.
