Privacy Policy
Compare Cab for Android · Effective 21 August 2026
This privacy policy applies to the Compare Cab app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Parth Gupta (collectively, the "Application"). Parth Gupta is referred to below as the "Service Provider".
How the Application works
Cab companies do not publish their fares through a public interface. To compare prices, the Application opens each cab app you have selected, one after another, and reads the fares shown on screen. It does this using Android's Accessibility Service, which you must turn on yourself.
What the Accessibility Service can and cannot see. While a comparison is running, the service reads on-screen text from the cab apps you selected, and only those apps. It is restricted at the operating system level to Uber, Ola, InDrive and Rapido, and cannot read any other app on your device.
It reads only what is needed to identify ride options and prices. It does not read, store or transmit passwords, messages, payment details or personal account information. The fares it collects stay on your device and are not sent to the Service Provider or to anyone else.
The service runs only during a comparison that you start, and stops when the comparison finishes. You can turn it off at any time in Android Settings → Accessibility.
Information the Application collects
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Location (approximate and precise) | To find your pickup point, search for destinations and show them on a map | Google Maps Platform (Places and Geocoding) |
| Advertising ID | To show ads in the Application | Google AdMob |
| Crash reports and diagnostics — device model, operating system version, and technical details at the time of a crash | To find and fix faults | Firebase Crashlytics |
| Usage and device information — which screens are opened, session length, device type, operating system version, IP address | To understand how the Application is used and improve it | Google Analytics for Firebase |
What stays on your device
The following never leaves your phone and is not visible to the Service Provider:
- The fares and ride options read from the cab apps
- Your saved and recent locations
- Cached place and address lookups, which the Application stores to reduce repeat requests
- Your app settings and preferences
Uninstalling the Application deletes all of this.
What the Application does not collect
The Application has no sign-in and no user accounts. It does not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, payment details or contacts.
Cookies and tracking technologies
The Application and the third-party SDKs listed above may use SDKs, device identifiers and similar technologies to support functionality, analytics and advertising. Where applicable law requires it, the Service Provider will obtain your consent before using non-essential tracking technologies.
Advertising
The Application shows ads supplied by Google AdMob, which uses your Advertising ID to select and measure them. You can limit this at any time on your device:
- Android 12 and later: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising ID
- Earlier versions: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation
Third-party services
The Application uses the following third-party services, each of which handles data under its own privacy policy:
- Google Play Services
- Google AdMob
- Google Analytics for Firebase
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Google Maps Platform
When information may be disclosed
The Service Provider may disclose information:
- as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
- where there is a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect legal rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
- to the trusted service providers listed above, who process the information on the Service Provider's behalf.
The Service Provider does not sell your personal information.
International data transfers
The third-party services above may process personal data in countries outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable law requires safeguards for such transfers, the Service Provider relies on recognised transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, adequacy decisions, or your consent where required and legally permitted.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing carried out before you withdrew it. To exercise any of these rights, contact the Service Provider at app.dailytech@gmail.com.
California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete it, the right to opt out of its sale or sharing, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. The Service Provider does not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact app.dailytech@gmail.com.
Opting out
You can stop all further collection by uninstalling the Application through the normal Android uninstall process. You can also stop the Accessibility Service on its own, at any time, in Android Settings → Accessibility, without uninstalling.
Uninstalling stops future collection but does not automatically delete information already transmitted to third parties. To request deletion, contact app.dailytech@gmail.com.
Data retention
- On-device data — kept until you delete it in the Application or uninstall.
- Crash reports and diagnostics — retained by Firebase Crashlytics for up to 90 days.
- Analytics data — retained for up to 14 months.
- Aggregated and anonymised data — retained indefinitely, as it no longer identifies you.
- Data required for legal compliance — retained as long as applicable law requires.
Children
The Application is not intended for children under 18 years of age, and the Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from them or market the Application to them. If the Service Provider learns that a child has provided personal information, it will be deleted. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact app.dailytech@gmail.com so that it can be removed.
Security
The Service Provider takes safeguarding your information seriously and applies physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the information it processes. Data transmitted between the Application and the third-party services listed above is encrypted in transit.
Data breach notification
If a data breach affects your personal data, the Service Provider will notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including, where required, the nature of the breach and the steps being taken to address it.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be notified by posting the updated policy with a new effective date, and where the law requires it, your consent will be sought before those changes take effect. Previous versions are available on request at app.dailytech@gmail.com.
Your consent
Where processing is based on consent, you give that consent by choosing to turn on the relevant feature — for example, granting location permission or enabling the Accessibility Service. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out beforehand. Processing based on other lawful bases is carried out as described above.
Contact
If you have any questions about this policy or about privacy while using the Application, contact the Service Provider at app.dailytech@gmail.com.
