Privacy Policy - Drivers' Hours: HGV Planner
Last Updated: July 20, 2026
Overview
Drivers' Hours: HGV Planner ("the App") is a planning aid for HGV drivers, published by WittyApps. This policy explains what information the App handles, what stays on your device, and what is shared with third parties. The App requires no account and no sign-in.
The App is a planning aid only. Your digital tachograph card and the data downloaded from it remain the only official record of your driving hours.
Information We Collect
Stored only on your device (never uploaded):
- Your activity log — driving, rest, other work and availability entries you record, including any corrections you make on the timeline.
- Your settings and Pro purchase state.
Collected automatically (sent to service providers):
- Crash and error reports (via Sentry): technical information such as device model, operating system version and the state of the App when an error occurred.
- Anonymous usage analytics (via Amplitude): which features are used (for example, opening the timeline or exporting a PDF). These events are not linked to your identity and contain no activity-log contents.
- Advertising data (via Google AdMob, free version only): device advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID / Apple IDFA where permitted), IP address, coarse location derived from IP, and ad interaction data. See "Advertising" below.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or the contents of your driving log.
Advertising
The free version of the App shows banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and process device identifiers and related data to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses advertising data.
- Consent (UK and EEA): Before any advertising data is processed, the App shows a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) in accordance with the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. You may decline; you will then see non-personalised ads or, where applicable, no personalised processing takes place. You can change your choice at any time from the App's settings.
- iOS App Tracking Transparency: On iOS, the App requests tracking permission through Apple's ATT framework. If you decline, your device's advertising identifier is not used for tracking.
- Removing ads: A one-off Pro purchase permanently removes all advertising from the App. After the purchase, the AdMob SDK does not serve ads.
