Privacy Policy

How Fuel Daddy collects, uses and protects your information.

Last updated: April 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy covers Fuel Daddy - a fuel-price comparison website and mobile app operated by MCD Automotive ("we," "our," or "us").

In short: We respect your privacy. We only collect location data (with your permission) to show nearby fuel stations. We don't sell your data or track you. The mobile app stores your fuel-tracking data locally on your device, and premium subscribers can enable push notifications for price alerts.
