1. Data controller

Craon S.r.l. – Via Bice Cremagnani, 16 – 20871 Vimercate (MB), Italy
VAT / Tax no. IT02820820963 – Email: info@craon.it – Tel. +39 039 6612489

2. Scope

This policy covers the NextStop Highway app for iPhone and Android (“the app”). The website www.craon.it has its own privacy policy.

3. What data the app uses and why

DataPurposeWhere it goes
Phone location (GPS, heading, speed)To work out which motorway you are on and in which direction, so the app can show the next service areas and give you the voice alert.Stays on the phone. It is processed only by the app, never sent to Craon or anyone else and never stored.
IP address and technical connection dataTo download motorway data updates from Craon’s server.Received by the server, as with any download. We don’t use them to identify you.
A city name (only if you type one in the simulation) and IP addressTo find the coordinates of the starting point of a simulated trip.Sent to the Nominatim search service of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (see section 6).
Preferences (language, voice alerts) and motorway dataTo let the app work offline.Stay on the phone and are deleted when you uninstall the app.

4. Location and background use

The app asks for permission to access your location, which you can refuse or revoke at any time in the phone settings (without location the app cannot show the service areas on your route). On iPhone, during a trip, the app may keep receiving the location with the screen off so that the voice alert arrives on time; iOS shows this with the location indicator. In the background, too, the location stays on the phone.

5. Legal basis and retention

The only data that reach Craon’s systems are the technical data needed for the download (IP address, date and time of the request). They are processed on the basis of Craon’s legitimate interest in providing the service and protecting it from abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and kept in the server logs only for as long as needed for these purposes.

6. Third-party services

Only if you type a city name in the simulation feature does the app send that name (or, to show the name of the place, the coordinates of the simulated point) to Nominatim, the search service run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which also receives the phone’s IP address. These data are covered by the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy. Your real GPS location is never sent.

The app contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or profiling tools, and no social network SDKs. We don’t sell or share data with third parties.

7. Children

The app is meant for people travelling on motorways and is not aimed at children under 14. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Your rights

The only data we keep are the IP addresses in the server logs (section 5), which we don’t link to any person. You can still ask to access them, to have them deleted or to object to their processing (Arts. 15–22 GDPR) by writing to info@craon.it, and you can lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) or with the authority of your country.

9. Changes

If the app changes the way it uses data we will update this page and the date at the top. We will also mention important changes in the app’s release notes.

Terms

Terms of use

When driving, the road comes first. Set up the app before you leave, don’t handle the phone while driving and always follow the traffic rules and road signs. The voice alerts are there precisely so you don’t have to look at the screen.

Information is indicative

Service areas, available fuels (including LPG and CNG), distances and exits come from public OpenStreetMap data and automatic processing: they may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. An area may be closed, under construction or without the fuel shown. Always check the road signs and, if you are low on fuel, don’t rely on a single area.

No warranty

The app is provided free of charge “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, Craon S.r.l. is not liable for damage arising from the use of the app or from reliance on the information it shows, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence and without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights.

Permitted use

You may use the app for personal purposes. You may not copy, decompile or resell its code or processed data, except as allowed by law and by the OpenStreetMap data licence.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Italian law. Consumers keep the right to go to the courts of their place of residence.

Help

Support

For questions, reports or suggestions write to info@craon.it, stating your phone model, the app version and, for a service area, the motorway and direction. We reply on working days.

Which countries are covered?

Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The motorway data are already on the phone and the app only uses GPS. Data updates are downloaded over Wi-Fi; on mobile data you can choose “Download anyway”.

A service area is missing or wrong: what can I do?

The data come from OpenStreetMap, the free map made by its users. You can fix them directly on openstreetmap.org or write to us: corrections reach the app with the next data update.

Why don’t I see LPG or CNG at an area?

They are shown when they are marked on the map. If they don’t appear it doesn’t mean they aren’t there: often nobody has marked them yet.

How do I turn off the voice alerts?

Tap the megaphone icon on the main screen: crossed out means off. Your choice is remembered.

How can I try it without driving?

At the bottom of the main screen tap “Simulate a trip”, type a motorway (for example A1) and, if you like, a starting city.

How do I revoke location permission?

iPhone: Settings › NextStop › Location. Android: Settings › Apps › NextStop › Permissions › Location.
