Privacy Policy
CompareKar for Android · Effective 15 October 2026
This privacy policy applies to the CompareKar app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by DailyTech (collectively, the "Application"). DailyTech is referred to below as the "Service Provider" and can be reached at app.dailytech@gmail.com.
The Application is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of the cab or grocery services it compares.
How the Application works
Cab companies and grocery stores do not publish their prices through a public interface. To compare them, you sign in to each service on its own website, inside the Application. The Application then opens those websites in the background, on your behalf, and reads the prices they show you.
The services it works with are Uber, Ola and Rapido for cabs, and Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, Amazon Now and Flipkart Minutes for groceries. Grocery comparison may be switched on for only some users while it is being rolled out.
Signing in. You sign in directly on the service's own website. The Application never sees, stores or sends your password or one-time code. The resulting session (the website's cookies and storage) is kept only on your device and is never sent to the Service Provider. You can remove it at any time with Log out in the Application, or by uninstalling.
Nothing is booked or bought. The Application never books a ride, places an order or makes a payment.
Grocery carts. To compare your cart, the Application reads the items in your carts on the stores you have signed in to. If you agree when the Application asks, it gets each store's real bill, delivery and other fees included, by adding your items to that store's cart, reading the bill, and then putting the cart back as it was. Nothing is ordered or paid for.
Your location and route. To quote a fare or a delivery, your pickup point, destination or delivery location is sent to the service whose website is open, the same as when you use that website yourself. Your device location is shared only with that website, and only when you have allowed the Application to use your location.
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) |
| Pickup, destination and grocery cart items | To get fares and grocery prices | The cab and grocery services you have signed in to, through their own websites |
| 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 |
| Performance data: app start time, screen rendering and network request timings | To find and fix slow parts of the Application | Firebase Performance Monitoring |
| Usage and device information: which screens are opened, which features are used, session length, device type, operating system version, IP address | To understand how the Application is used and improve it | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| App instance identifier | To switch features on or off and roll new features out gradually | Firebase Remote Config |
What stays on your device
The following never leaves your phone and is not visible to the Service Provider:
- Your sign-in sessions with the cab and grocery services
- The fares, ride options, grocery prices and comparison results the Application reads
- Your saved and recent locations, and the commute suggestions the Application learns from your searches
- Cached place and address lookups, which the Application stores to reduce repeat requests
- Your app settings and preferences
- A record of the last fare comparison, used for troubleshooting, with anything that looks like a password or token blanked out
Uninstalling the Application deletes all of this.
Reports you choose to send
If you tap "Prices look wrong?", the Application prepares a report of the last fare comparison and opens Android's share menu. The report goes only where you choose to send it. Anything that looks like a password or token is blanked out before it is shared.
What the Application does not collect
The Service Provider runs no user accounts. The Application does not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, payment details or contacts. Your sign-ins are with the cab and grocery services themselves, under their own privacy policies.
Cookies and tracking technologies
The websites of the services you sign in to set their own cookies inside the Application, which stay on your device. The Application and the third-party SDKs listed below may use 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, Firebase Performance Monitoring and Firebase Remote Config
- Google Maps Platform
The cab and grocery services you sign in to (Uber, Ola, Rapido, Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, Amazon and Flipkart) receive what you send them through their own websites, under their own privacy policies and terms.
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
- Log out of any cab or grocery service in the Application. This deletes its session from your device.
- Turn off location access in Android Settings → Apps → CompareKar → Permissions.
- Uninstall the Application to stop all further collection.
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, including sign-in sessions: kept until you log out, 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 sent between the Application, the services you sign in to 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
By continuing past the first screen of the Application, you agree to this policy. Where processing is based on consent, you give that consent by choosing to use the relevant feature: for example, granting location permission, signing in to a service, or agreeing to have grocery carts filled to read real bills. 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.

If you have any questions about this policy or about privacy while using the Application, contact the Service Provider at app.dailytech@gmail.com.
