Privacy
Draft. A contact address for privacy questions is still to be added.
Navz never tracks your drive. Your location is only sent when you report something or look something up.
Looking at the map
- You don't need an account to use the map.
- Your position is used on your phone to show where you are. It isn't sent to Navz just because the map is open.
When your location is sent
- When you report something: the spot you report, plus your direction and speed at that moment.
- When you confirm or answer an alert (“Still there”, “Gone”), so Navz can check you're near it.
- When you look something up near you, like parking or the traffic lights at a junction.
- When you search for a place, so the results nearest you come first.
What stays on your phone
- The last few minutes of your positions, used only for “Already passed it?”. They're kept in memory, never sent, never saved, and gone when you close Navz.
- Your settings, like the theme and which alert types you see.
Signing in
- You only sign in (with Google or email) to add or confirm something.
- With Google, Navz gets your name, email address and profile picture from Google.
- With email, Navz gets only your email address. We send it a one-time code to sign in, and nothing else.
- Your name is only shown on what you add if you turn on “Show my name”. Otherwise it says “a driver”.
Reports
- A report is the type, the spot, your direction and speed at that moment, and the time. No free text and no photos.
- Smash-and-grab reports are pinned to an intersection, never shown as an area.
