Privacy notice

Who we are

EdiDrivers is operated by Proximarq Media Ltd (“we”, “us”), registered in Scotland, company number SC894654, registered office 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4AN. We are the data controller for the information described below. Contact: hello@edidrivers.co.uk.

No accounts

You never sign up or log in, and we don’t ask for your name, email or phone number.

Reports you send

We store the type, map location, optional note and time, plus confirmation counts. Reports are shown to other drivers for up to two hours, then hidden, and permanently deleted within seven days together with their vote counts and private removal hashes. Please don’t include names, phone numbers, number plates or other personal details in notes. Permanent map places are not temporary reports and remain on the map.

Airport queue updates

We store the queue status and time. Updates are not linked to an account or device.

Visitor statistics

Lovable’s analytics records pages visited, where visitors came from, country, browser, operating system and device type, time on the site, page loading speed and errors. It also records clicks and anonymous app events: report submissions, airport queue updates, sponsor calls, directions, copied discount codes and WhatsApp shares.

There is no consent banner connected to these statistics, so these records are collected for every visitor. The analytics uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses and does not identify visitors. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for one year.

Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable’s privacy policy explains how it handles it.

Your location and device storage

If you allow it, your phone’s location is used in your browser to set a report location and calculate sponsor distances. Distances and your location for distance calculations are not sent to us. When you submit a report, the selected map location — including one selected using GPS — is stored and shown to other drivers.

Essential local storage remembers votes, a random removal token for reports created on your device, and the time of your last airport update so repeat taps within two minutes can be ignored. Only the token’s hash is stored privately with the report. Clearing this storage removes your device’s ability to recognise its votes, remove its reports or enforce the airport update interval.

Technical data and other services

Our hosting (Cloudflare) and Lovable Cloud database providers process technical data, such as IP addresses, to deliver the service and protect it from abuse. We do not use this to identify you. OpenStreetMap receives requests for map tiles, including your IP address and the map area being viewed. Google Fonts receives requests to load the app’s fonts.

Opening WhatsApp sharing or Google Maps/Waze directions passes the report text or selected destination to that service. Calling a sponsor or emailing us uses your phone or email provider; anything you send directly is handled by its recipient.

Sponsors and contact enquiries

If you contact us about sponsorship, we receive the business contact details and information you choose to send, to handle your enquiry and manage sponsorship. No payment service is currently integrated into this app.

Legal basis and international processing

We rely on legitimate interests to run a free, safe community service and, for sponsors, performance of a contract. Our providers may process data outside the UK with appropriate safeguards in place.

Your rights

You can ask about data we hold, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hello@edidrivers.co.uk. With no accounts, we may not be able to associate an anonymous report with you. You can remove your own report from the device that created it while its removal token remains available. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
