Who we are

Save at the Pump (saveatthepump.co.uk) is a free, independent website that displays real-time fuel prices from the UK Government's Fuel Finder API. It is operated as a personal side project based in the United Kingdom.

What data we collect

We collect as little data as possible:

Your location — only if you grant permission. It is used solely to find fuel stations near you and is never stored, logged, or transmitted to our servers.
Server logs — like all web servers, ours automatically logs basic request information (IP address, browser type, pages visited). These logs are used only for diagnosing technical issues and are not shared with third parties.

We do not run any accounts, registration, or contact forms. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal information.

Cookies

Cookie consent for UK and EEA users is managed by Google's certified Consent Management Platform (CMP), which will ask for your permission before setting any analytics cookies.

Third-party data sources

Your rights under UK GDPR

As a UK resident you have the right to:

Access any personal data we hold about you
