Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 March 2025
Introduction
PetrolFinder.uk is a free fuel price comparison service for the United Kingdom. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we operate. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we use it.
Data Source
All fuel price data displayed on PetrolFinder.uk is sourced from the UK Government Fuel Finder API under The Motor Fuel Price (Open Data) Regulations 2025. This data is publicly available and updated every 30 minutes.
Personal Data
PetrolFinder.uk does not require user accounts, registration, or login. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data such as names, email addresses, or payment information. When you search for fuel prices using a postcode or location, this information is used solely to query the government API and is not stored on our servers.
Location Data
If you choose to use the “Use my location” feature, your browser will ask for permission before sharing your location. This location data is used only to find nearby fuel stations and is not stored or tracked. You can deny location access at any time through your browser settings without affecting your ability to search by postcode or city name.
Cookies & Analytics
PetrolFinder.uk may use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. These cookies help us improve the service by providing anonymous, aggregated data about page views, traffic sources, and user behaviour. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. The site will continue to function normally without cookies.
Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any data to third parties. We do not display personalised advertising. Any third-party services used (such as analytics or hosting providers) are bound by their own privacy policies and are used solely to operate and improve PetrolFinder.uk.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
