Rotaİkaz — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

Summary

Rotaİkaz collects no personal data, creates no account, does not track users and shows no ads. Your location is processed on your device and never reaches us.

Data collected

The app collects no personal data and shares none with third parties. No account is required. No third-party advertising or analytics SDK is used, and no crash-reporting SDK is included.

Location

Your location is used to centre the map on you, to show nearby fixed cameras and average-speed enforcement corridors, to compute your current speed, and to time driving alerts correctly.

Your location never leaves your device. Camera and corridor data is downloaded to the device and all distance calculation happens locally; your coordinates are never sent to a server or recorded.

No background location tracking. The app never requests ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION — that permission is explicitly blocked. Location is read only while the app is open, or after you tap "Start driving" while the persistent notification is visible. Ending the drive stops location reads.

Driving notification (foreground service)

When you start a drive the app runs a foreground service and shows a persistent notification. Its only purpose is to keep voice alerts working when the screen is off or you are in another app. The service collects nothing and sends nothing; it stops when you tap "End".

Sign in with Google (optional)

You may optionally sign in with your Google account in Settings. If you do, your name and email address are stored only in your device's local storage; they are not sent to any server of ours and no account is created there. Signing out deletes that record entirely. Signing in is entirely optional — every feature of the app works without it.

Favourites and settings

Saved places, your vehicle type, alert thresholds, voice and theme settings are kept only on your device. They are not uploaded or backed up. Uninstalling the app deletes them.

Network access and third-party services

The app reaches the network in these places:

The routing and search services are open services run by the OpenStreetMap community. Nothing identifying you is attached to these requests and the app stores none of them. Those services' own terms apply.

Data sources

Camera and corridor information is compiled from the Turkish Ministry of Interior's route enforcement list, the General Directorate of Security's fixed camera list, and OpenStreetMap contributions. These lists are not exhaustive; the app's About screen states plainly which provinces are covered.

Children

The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Disclaimer

Rotaİkaz is a driving aid; it does not replace traffic law, road signs or the driver's attention. Data may be incomplete or out of date. Road conditions and signage always take precedence. Do not interact with the screen while driving.

Changes to this policy

If a feature that collects data or moves data off the device is added (for example cloud backup of settings), this page will be updated and the Google Play data safety declaration changed accordingly.
