1. Introduction
Viaje Rentable consists of an Android application ("the App") and a website at https://viajerentable.com.ar. This policy explains what information they handle, how they use it and how they protect it.
By installing the App or using the site you accept the terms described here.
2. Data the App reads
The App uses the Android Accessibility Service to read the text content of rideshare driver app screens while those apps are in the foreground. This includes:
- Trip offer price
- Trip distance and duration
- Distance and wait time to the passenger
Raw screen content is processed locally and is not transmitted. Only anonymous attributes extracted from offers may be shared, as described in Section 5.
3. Data the App stores locally
- Trip history: record of analyzed offers. You can disable it in Settings.
- User settings: profitability thresholds, vehicle data, overlay and privacy preferences.
- Fuel price cache: last price obtained, to avoid repeated API calls.
This data is saved in the device's internal storage. It is not shared with third parties except as described in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7.
4. Internet access and third-party services
The App and website make network requests for the following services:
- Google (Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics): usage statistics and crash reports. They use standard Google identifiers, without your identity or personal data.
- Google (Firebase Authentication): optional — to sign in with your Google account when using features that require an account (web subscription, cloud sync). See Section 6.
- Google (Cloud Firestore): optional — cloud database where your settings and history are stored if you enable Premium sync. See Section 6.
- Google (AdMob): shows discreet ads to free-tier users. Ads are hidden while you're driving or while an offer is being analyzed.
- Google (Cloud Functions and Firebase Hosting): host the website backend and the serverless functions that process subscriptions, support and administration.
- Mercado Pago (Argentina only): processes the Premium subscription when you sign up from the web. See Section 7.
- Resend: sends transactional emails (Premium welcome, support replies) to your inbox.
- Argly: public API to obtain the average fuel price in Argentina. Queried at the user's request; receives no personal data.
- api.country.is: detects your country from the browser on the website, to show the correct subscription option. Does not identify the visitor.
5. Community sync
The App anonymously sends data about detected offers to a shared database hosted on Firebase to improve the service. For free-tier users this sync is a condition of the free service and cannot be disabled. Premium subscribers share by default and can disable it in Settings → Privacy.
Shared data includes only: anonymous fingerprint (24-character SHA-256 hash of offer attributes); platform (uber, didi, cabify, etc.); price; pickup distance (km); trip distance (km); estimated trip time (minutes); pickup address as shown in the offer (raw text; server-side quantization to a 1.1 km grid only — not the driver's GPS location); currency code; decision level (green/yellow/red); vehicle type; country code; province/state; address resolution status; local timestamp of when the offer was seen.
Data does NOT include: name, email, phone, rideshare account, exact GPS coordinates of the driver, passenger data, or any reversible unique device identifier. The batch document ID used to group uploads is a 16-character hash derived from hardware attributes and cannot be linked to any account.
6. Account and cloud sync (Premium)
Signing in is optional. You only need it if you want any of these features:
- Subscribe to or manage your Premium subscription from the website (Argentina) — see Section 7.
- Sync your settings and history across devices (Premium feature).
When you sign in with Google through Firebase Authentication, we store:
- Your email address and a user identifier generated by Firebase.
- Your App settings (thresholds, vehicle data, preferences) in Firestore, only if you enable sync.
- Your offer history in Firestore, only if you enable sync.
You can sign out at any time. You can request the complete deletion of your account and synced data from /eliminar-cuenta.
7. Subscription and payment processing
The Premium subscription can be purchased through two channels:
- Google Play (all countries): payment and renewal are managed by Google. Their payment and refund policies apply.
- Website with Mercado Pago (Argentina only): payment is managed by Mercado Pago. To process it we share with Mercado Pago your email (associated with the account you signed in with) and the chosen plan. Mercado Pago returns and we store in our database: subscription identifier, payer identifier, payment method (card brand and last 4 digits), amount and date of each charge.
We do not store full card data. Payment processing is done by Mercado Pago under its own policy.
8. Permissions used
- ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE Screen reading of rideshare apps to extract offer data.
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW Display the floating overlay with the analysis while using another app.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE Keep the listening service active in the background.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS Show a persistent notification while the service is active.
- INTERNET Query fuel price, cloud sync and Google services.
- ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION Automatically detect your province to get local fuel prices. Location is not stored or shared.
- REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS Request the user to disable battery optimization so the service is not interrupted.
- AD_ID Standard Google identifier so AdMob can serve ads (free version only).
9. Data retention and deletion
Retention varies depending on where the data is stored:
- Trip history (local): retained while the feature is enabled. You can export or delete it from Settings.
- Local settings: retained until you uninstall the App or reset to defaults.
- Fuel cache: updated periodically.
- Cloud data (Premium): to delete your account and synced data, follow the procedure described at /eliminar-cuenta. We process requests within 30 days.
When you uninstall the App, all local data is permanently deleted. The anonymous offer data (Section 5) is not linked to your identity and cannot be associated with you individually; for this reason it cannot be deleted individually.
10. Children's data
The App is intended for rideshare drivers. It is not aimed at minors under 18 and does not intentionally collect data from minors.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
