Summary
TradePulseETA is a local-first working-day planner. It does not create a TradePulseETA account, display advertising, include developer-added analytics or sell personal information. Jobs and settings stay in the app unless you deliberately request online route comparison or open another maps app.
Information kept on the device
The app stores the home or start address, working hours, job references, job addresses, job types, notes, estimated durations, order, status and start or finish timestamps in its private SQLite database. An optional Azure Maps key is stored separately using Android secure storage.
Android cloud backup and device-to-device backup are disabled for TradePulseETA. The local database is not separately encrypted, so protect the device with a secure screen lock and avoid unnecessary confidential information in free-text notes.
Optional online routing
Online routing is optional. Before the first route request, the app explains the transfer and asks whether to continue. If you continue, the app sends the home and job addresses needed for geocoding, selected coordinates and departure times to Microsoft Azure Maps using the Azure Maps key entered in the app. Customer references, job descriptions, notes and work durations are not intentionally included in those requests.
Microsoft states that Azure Maps shares customer-provided address and location queries with its authorised mapping subprocessor TomTom for mapping functionality, without linking those queries to a customer or end user. Read the Microsoft Azure Maps overview.
The route display requests map tiles for the visible area from OpenStreetMap Foundation infrastructure. Its servers receive normal network information, including an IP address and the tile coordinates requested. The current beta also downloads the Leaflet map library from the unpkg content-delivery network. Opening navigation sends the chosen destination to the external maps app or website selected by the user, which operates under its own privacy terms.
Why information is used
On-device information is used to save and display the working-day plan. Address, coordinate and time information is sent only to provide route comparison, estimated journey times and the requested map. This processing is necessary to provide the feature the user requests; where no contract applies, the legitimate interest is providing and securing that requested app functionality without using the data for advertising or profiling.
Retention and deletion
Local data remains until the user selects Privacy & data → Erase all app data, clears Android app storage or uninstalls TradePulseETA. The in-app control deletes saved jobs, visits, home and working-hour settings and the saved Azure Maps key. The key can also be removed separately.
Mapping and network providers may retain security, operational and request records under their own documented policies and contractual terms. Azure Maps permits geographic processing scopes and may replicate data within the selected geography for resilience. OpenStreetMap Foundation publishes its own privacy policy. Closing the app or erasing its local database does not itself erase records already held by those independent services.
International processing and safeguards
Internet services are not guaranteed to process information only in the United Kingdom. Microsoft and its subprocessors may process information in the selected Azure geography and other permitted locations. Microsoft's Data Protection Addendum contains its contractual data-protection commitments, including applicable standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum. OpenStreetMap and unpkg infrastructure may process ordinary network requests internationally under their respective terms.
Your choices and rights
You can use TradePulseETA without online routing, remove the Azure Maps key, or erase all local app data. Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability for personal information for which Dbak91 is responsible. Email hello@dbak91.co.uk to make a request. Proportionate information may be needed to verify identity.
You can raise a concern with Dbak91 first and may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Changes
This notice will be updated when the app's providers, data flows or business model change. The date at the top identifies the current published version.
