Effective date: August 31, 2026
This policy explains what Show Me The Fuel Refund (the "app") does and does not do with your data. If anything here is unclear, contact ohbrer+ShowMeTheFuelRefund@gmail.com.
The app helps you collect and organize Missouri fuel purchase receipts so you can claim Missouri's Motor Fuel Tax Refund. It has no server or backend of its own — every vehicle, fuel receipt, and photo you log is stored locally on your device, and optionally backed up to a cloud storage account you choose and control. We (the developer) never receive, see, or have access to a copy of your data.
The app stores the following on your device only, unless you connect a cloud storage account (see below):
This data is never transmitted to us. Uninstalling the app, or never connecting a cloud backup, means this data exists only on that device.
If you connect a cloud storage account in Settings, a copy of the data above is also stored there — in storage you control:
For OAuth-based providers (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), the app requests full read/write access to your account on that provider — not access limited to a single folder — so that, beyond just the folder the app creates for itself, you can also browse to and reuse a folder someone else already created and shared with you there. Even with that broader access granted, the app itself only ever reads or writes the one shared app folder you choose and its contents. We do not read, log, or have access to anything else stored in these accounts — the connection is directly between your device and the provider you chose. For WebDAV, your server credentials are stored using your device's OS-level encrypted storage (Android Keystore) and are used only to connect directly to the server you specify.
This is also how the app supports sharing: if the folder you connect to is one you share with someone else — a spouse, a business partner — anyone else who connects the app to that same folder sees and can edit the same vehicles, fuel entries, and receipt photos you do. The data in a shared folder isn't private to just you; it's shared with everyone you've given access to that folder.
Unless you've purchased "Remove Ads for a Year," the app may show ads via Google AdMob at a few specific points: after saving a fuel entry, after exporting or printing a report, and before syncing your data to the cloud (where watching an ad is what lets that sync go through). These are limited in frequency — for example, a new user sees no ads for the first few minutes of use and the first few fuel entries logged, and watching one keeps that same spot ad-free for a period afterward — so ads don't show on every single action. AdMob may collect data such as an advertising identifier and coarse, IP-based location to serve and measure ads. This collection is Google's, governed by Google's own privacy policy and AdMob's data disclosure — it is not something this app adds on top of, and we have no access to it.
"Remove Ads for a Year" is processed entirely through Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store payment information — that's handled by Google Play directly.
You can delete your data at any time from Settings > Data > Advanced (purge all data, or a specific date range), and disconnect any cloud storage account from Settings > Data. Deleting the app removes everything stored locally; anything already backed up to your own cloud storage account remains there under your control until you delete it yourself.
This app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
