eTryvoga Privacy Policy

1. Controller and contacts

This policy covers the map at map.etryvoga.com and the eTryvoga (eAlert) iOS and Android app. Data requests: [email protected]. eTryvoga is an unofficial volunteer project; we handle requests in good faith within the team’s capacity.

2. What we process

The amount depends on whether you use the map, the app, or both. The categories below may be processed. We do not require a name, phone number, or sign-up to open the map.

3. What we do not collect

To avoid surprises, here is what eTryvoga deliberately does not do:

1. 3.1. We do not collect or upload precise GPS. The optional on-map position marker stays in this browser tab.

2. 3.2. We do not sell personal data.

3. 3.3. We do not build our own advertising profile of map users and we do not make automated decisions with legal effect (GDPR Art. 22).

4. 3.4. We do not read other apps on your phone or collect a list of third-party sites you visit, other than analytics of eTryvoga’s own pages.

4. Why we need it

Data is used to show the map in your language, remember layers and theme, deliver alerts for the regions you chose, understand how the site is used, fix outages, and (in the app) show ads that help keep the service running. Legal bases: providing the service you ask for; legitimate interest in reliability and security; consent — for push and, where the law requires it, for analytics cookies or advertising.

5. Cookies and local storage

The map stores technical flags in localStorage (language, layers, appearance, sound). Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers. You can clear them in the browser; some map preferences will then reset.

6. Push notifications

App alerts need a system permission. You can withdraw it in iOS or Android settings; after you unsubscribe the token is no longer used for delivery. The browser map does not need push to show the feed.

7. Third-party services

Infrastructure, analytics, and message delivery may go through vendors. On the map — Google Analytics; the website currently has no ads. In the app — Firebase Cloud Messaging (Firebase policy) and ad networks, including Google AdMob. Purchases — Apple and Google. Hosting and content delivery may process technical logs (including IP) for security and speed. Each vendor has its own policy. Some processing may happen outside the EEA; typical safeguards are standard contractual clauses and vendor policies.

8. Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the collection purpose or as the law requires:

1. 8.1. Local preferences — until you clear the browser or delete the app.

2. 8.2. Map analytics — according to Google Analytics settings for our property.

3. 8.3. Push tokens — while the notification subscription is active, plus a short technical period after unsubscribe.

4. 8.4. Support email — while the request is open and as long as needed for a proper reply and to protect legal rights.

9. Your rights

Where GDPR applies (including because the operator is in Poland), you can email [email protected] with a subject such as “GDPR — access”. We may ask you to confirm who you are. As a guide: we acknowledge within 7 days and respond within 30 days (complex cases may take longer — we will say so).

1. 9.1. Access — confirm whether we process data and obtain a copy.

2. 9.2. Rectification — correct inaccurate data.

3. 9.3. Erasure — delete data where we have no lawful reason to keep it.

4. 9.4. Restriction — temporarily stop certain processing.

5. 9.5. Portability — receive data in a machine-readable form where technically feasible.

6. 9.6. Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest.

7. 9.7. Withdraw consent — for push, optional analytics, and in-app ads (system advertising settings on iOS/Android), without affecting lawfulness before withdrawal.

8. 9.8. Complaint — to a supervisory authority: in Poland, UODO; in Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner; in the EU, the authority of the country where you are.

10. Children’s data

The service is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their personal data. If we learn that such data was sent to us, we will delete it. Write to us if you believe a child provided personal data.

11. Security

Connections to the service use HTTPS/TLS. Access to production systems is limited. We minimise fields in logs. No system is perfectly secure; if you find a vulnerability, email [email protected] with the subject SECURITY.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this page when the service or the law changes. The new version is published with a date. Continued use after it takes effect means you accept the updates to the extent the law allows.

13. Relation to other documents

eTryvoga privacy is governed by this page together with the Wild Pluto policy. Other use of the service is covered by the eTryvoga Terms of Use. The Ukrainian text of this page is authoritative; other languages are for convenience.
