A2BPrivacy, in plain words
A2B is private by design. This page summarises what the app knows about you and why — distilled from A2B's public data map (docs/privacy.md in the open-source repo), which is the authoritative record.
No account needed
You can search, navigate and drive as a guest — no sign-up, no email, no phone number. Accounts are optional: they only exist to sync things you explicitly save, like Home, Work and saved places. If you never create one, our servers hold nothing that identifies you.
Coarse location, never a trail
When you search, the app sends your position rounded to about 1 km — precise enough to find nearby places, too coarse to identify a house. Searches are never stored or logged, and the server keeps no history of where you have been.
What the driver app stores and sends
- Your last-known position (rounded to about 11 m) stays on your phone only, so the map opens where you left it. It is never sent to any server.
- During a drive, live location stays on your phone and is sent to the routing service only to re-plan your route. Nothing is written to any server table, and the stream stops seconds after you arrive or stop.
- Driver-to-driver chat is opt-in and off by default. If you turn it on, your exact position is checked on the server to find nearby drivers, but other drivers only ever see a rounded distance band (never your dot on a map), and your presence expires within minutes.
- The optional AI chat uses a key you paste yourself, calls your own provider directly from your phone, and keeps its history on your phone only.
- No ads while you drive, no tracking, no third-party analytics.
Admins and promotions
Every admin action on a driver account is audit-logged (which admin, what was done, and why), and promotion views and taps are counted as daily totals only — never linked to a driver, a session, or a location.
Deleting your data
Deleting your account removes your sessions, saved places, chats and reports immediately. Anything you are unsure about, ask us on GitHub before assuming the worst.
