Privacy Policy for Profit Hunter
Effective Date: 20/02/2026
Last Updated: 27/05/2026
Profit Hunter ("the App") is designed to act as a safety and analytics assistant for gig-economy drivers.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data and use device permissions.
1. Accessibility Service API Usage
The App requires the use of the Android Accessibility Service API. This permission is strictly necessary to provide the core functionality of the App.
What it does:
The Accessibility Service is used solely to read text related to incoming gig-economy ride offers, such as pricing and distance, directly from your screen.
Why it is needed:
This allows the App to instantly calculate profitability metrics, such as earnings per hour or kilometer, and display them in a safe, easy-to-read floating window. This helps drivers make informed decisions without being distracted from the road.
2. Data Collection and Privacy
Profit Hunter is committed to maximum privacy.
Local ride data:
Ride history, OCR results, screenshots, earnings data, analytics logs, and location-derived ride information are processed and stored locally on your device.
We do not upload ride offers, screen content, OCR text, screenshots, earnings, routes, or location history to our servers.
Trial eligibility check:
To manage free trial eligibility and prevent trial reset abuse, the App may send a one-way hashed device/app identifier to our server hosted by Cloudflare.
This identifier is used only to determine whether the free trial has already started or expired.
Trial data stored:
Our server may store the hashed identifier and trial-related timestamps, such as trial start date, last check date, and trial expiry status.
No sale of data:
We do not sell your data.
No third-party sharing for advertising:
We do not share your ride data, screen content, OCR results, earnings, screenshots, or location history with third parties for advertising or marketing.
App analytics:
We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to collect anonymous app usage events, such as which features are used and where users encounter issues in the app.
This data is linked to a random app installation ID generated by Firebase — not your name, email, or any personal identifier. It is used solely to improve the app experience and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
For more information on how Google handles this data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
3. Data Retention and Deletion
Server-side trial eligibility records are automatically deleted within 90 days.
Deleting server-side trial eligibility records does not delete local app data stored on your device.
Local ride history, screenshots, settings, and analytics can be removed by clearing the App’s data from Android system settings or by using any deletion features available inside the App.
4. Permissions
Draw Over Other Apps:
Used to display calculated analytics in a floating window over your gig-economy apps.

Used exclusively for the screen-reading purposes explicitly stated in Section 1.
Location Permission:
Used locally, if enabled, for driver location and ride analytics features. Location history is not uploaded to our servers.
