RoadSocial Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 October 2026

RoadSocial ("RoadSocial", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored and handled when you use the RoadSocial mobile application.

RoadSocial is intended only for users aged 18 years or older.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use RoadSocial, information associated with your account may include:

• Account information, including your email address and authentication information.
• Profile information that you choose to provide, such as your nickname and profile details.
• Vehicle information that you choose to add to your profile.
• Photos, images and other content that you choose to upload.
• Messages and other communications sent through RoadSocial.
• Information relating to Waves, connections and other interactions between users.
• Approximate location information when required for location-based features such as Nearby and when you have granted the necessary permission.
• Device and push-notification information necessary to deliver notifications and operate the service.

2. How We Use Information

We use information collected through RoadSocial to:

• Create, authenticate and maintain user accounts.
• Provide profiles, vehicle-related features and user connections.
• Enable messaging and other communication between users.
• Provide location-based functionality where enabled by the user.
• Deliver app notifications.
• Operate, maintain, secure and improve RoadSocial.
• Prevent misuse, fraud, abuse and security threats.
• Respond to support, privacy and account-related requests.

3. Location Information

RoadSocial may use approximate location information to provide features that help users discover relevant nearby activity or vehicles. Location access is used only where required for the relevant feature and subject to device permissions.

Users can control location permissions through their device settings.

4. Photos, Camera and User Content

RoadSocial may allow users to select images from their device or use their device camera to provide profile, vehicle or other user-generated content. RoadSocial accesses these features only when initiated or authorised by the user and subject to the permissions provided by the device operating system.

5. Messages and Social Features

RoadSocial provides social features that may include Waves, connections, profiles and messaging. Information and content that you deliberately share with another user may be visible to that user as necessary to provide these features.

Users should avoid sharing sensitive personal information through profiles, messages or other public or user-visible areas of RoadSocial.

6. Service Providers

RoadSocial uses third-party service providers and infrastructure to operate the application. These may include services used for authentication, database storage, cloud infrastructure, image or media hosting, notifications and other technical functionality.

These service providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own privacy and security practices.

RoadSocial does not sell users' personal information.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information handled through RoadSocial. Data transmitted between the application and supporting services is handled using the security mechanisms provided by those services and modern network security standards where applicable.

However, no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide RoadSocial, maintain accounts, protect the security and integrity of the service, resolve disputes and meet legitimate legal obligations.

When an account is deleted, personal data associated with that account will be deleted, except where limited information must be retained for legitimate purposes such as security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or legal compliance.

9. Account and Data Deletion

RoadSocial users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data.

Where available, users may initiate account deletion through the account or profile controls within the RoadSocial application.

Users may also request account and associated data deletion outside the application by emailing: roadsocialme@gmail.com

Please send the request from the email address associated with your RoadSocial account where possible and include "RoadSocial Account Deletion" in the subject line.

After any necessary verification of the request, the RoadSocial account and associated personal data will be deleted, subject only to information that must legitimately be retained as described above.

10. Age Restriction

RoadSocial is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. People under the age of 18 are not permitted to create or use a RoadSocial account.

If we become aware that an account belongs to a person under 18, we may remove the account and associated information as appropriate.

11. User Choices and Permissions

Users can control certain permissions, including location, camera, photos and notifications, through their device settings. Disabling a permission may prevent the associated RoadSocial feature from operating.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when RoadSocial, applicable law or our data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
