Proactive Location Help is an optional Revodo Pro feature. It is off by default and operates only after you explicitly opt in and grant the required device permission. You can withdraw permission or turn the feature off at any time.
When enabled, Revodo may check your approximate location only while the app is in the foreground, no more often than approximately once every 12 hours, and only where the selected vehicle has a Vehicle Health item marked Due now. Before transmission, the app rounds the coordinates on your device to approximately three decimal places. The rounded coordinates are sent through Revodo's authenticated nearby-place service to Google Places solely to identify a need-appropriate parts retailer, tyre centre or garage. If location permission is unavailable or you prefer not to use it, you can instead provide a postcode or town; Revodo uses that area together with the selected vehicle's Due now Health need to search.
Revodo may retain on your device the selected retailer or place identifier and name, timestamps for the location check, message and follow-up, and suppression keys used to avoid repetitive prompts. Depending on the event and your interaction, those local records are limited to 48 hours, 7 days, 14 days or 90 days. Revodo may later make a short foreground-only stationary comparison to decide whether to offer a receipt follow-up. Individual raw location samples are held in memory only for the immediate comparison and are not stored.
Turning off Proactive Location Help clears the local location-derived state used by the feature. Revodo does not sell this location information and does not send it to Klaus.
Google Places may receive the rounded coordinates and request or service metadata. Google may log or retain information under its own terms, privacy policy and data-retention practices, which Revodo does not control. Google may process that information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for Revodo's own transfers, we use the measures described in the International Data Transfers section; Google's independent processing is governed by Google's applicable terms and privacy practices.
