Privacy Policy
Vertical Way · Last updated 06 August 2026
This document is a draft and needs legal review before it stands as a published policy.
This policy explains what the Vertical Way app does with your data. It covers version 1.0, published by VERTICAL MOBI LTDA.
In one line
In version 1.0 Vertical Way runs with no account and no sign-up. Everything you log stays on your device. We do not receive, store or have access to your vehicles, fill-ups, expenses, trips or attachments.
What data the app handles
Data you log
Vehicles, fill-ups, expenses, services, trips, odometer readings, reminders, income, and the photos you attach to a record.
This data is written to the app’s private area in your own device’s storage. It is not sent to us or to anyone else.
Data we do not collect
We do not ask for your name, email, phone number or any identity document. There is no login in version 1.0. We use no behavioural analytics, we do not measure usage, and there is no advertising in the app.
Technical data from the provider
The app uses Firebase Remote Config, from Google, to turn features on and off without shipping a new version to the store. To work, that service sends Google an app installation identifier along with technical data about the device, such as model, operating system, language and app version.
That identifier belongs to the installed app, not to you: it carries no name, no email and none of your records, and it is discarded when you uninstall the app. Google handles that data under the Google Privacy Policy.
Permissions the app asks for
The app asks for a permission only at the moment it is needed, and none of them is required: refuse, and the matching feature still works by typing it in.
| Permission | What for | If you refuse |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Photograph a receipt and attach it to a record | The record saves without an attachment |
| Photos | Pick an image from your library to attach | The record saves without an attachment |
| Location | Fill in the place of a fill-up or service for you | You type the place in |
| Notifications | Warn you about a service, insurance or oil change reminder | Reminders stay in the list, with no alert |
The photos you attach stay on the device, along with the rest of your records.
Who we share it with
Nobody. We do not sell, rent or hand over your data. There is no advertising, measurement or profiling partner in the app.
The only transmission the app makes is the Firebase Remote Config call described above, which carries technical data only.
How long the data is kept
For as long as you want. Since everything stays on the device, the data exists while the app is installed. Deleting a record in the app deletes the data. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it stored.
Your rights
Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (Law 13.709/2018) gives you the right to confirm processing, and to access, correct, anonymise, port and erase your data, as well as to withdraw consent. If you are in the EU or the UK, the GDPR gives you equivalent rights.
In version 1.0 you exercise those rights directly in the app, because the data is with you:
- Access and correct: any record opens and edits from the list itself.
- Port: exporting the timeline is free, in CSV and Excel, with no paywall and nothing asked in return.
- Erase: delete the record in the app, or uninstall it.
If you still want to talk to us about personal data, write to contato@vertical.mobi. We answer within 15 days.
Children
Vertical Way is rated 4+ and is not directed at children. We collect no personal data from anyone, which includes minors.
Security
Because the data stays on the device, protecting it goes with protecting the device itself: use a passcode, biometrics and your system’s encrypted backup. The app writes to its private area, which other apps cannot read.
About future versions
Later versions of Vertical Way are expected to bring an account and sync across devices. When that happens, this policy will be updated before the feature ships, and the date at the top of this page will change. Syncing will be your choice: the app will keep working in full with no account.
