Pot Hole Warrior Beta
Last updated: May 2026
Pot Hole Warrior is a beta-stage road surface monitoring application developed to help identify rough roads, road defects and surface quality issues using smartphone sensor and location data collected during journeys.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used and how it is protected.
1. Information We Collect
During use of the Pot Hole Warrior beta application we may collect:
-
GPS location data during journeys
-
Smartphone motion and sensor data, including accelerometer and gyroscope readings
-
Journey timestamps and speed information
-
App diagnostic and performance information
-
Contact details voluntarily submitted through our beta signup form, such as your name and email address
We do not intentionally collect unnecessary personal information.
2. How We Use Data
Collected data is used to:
-
Detect and analyse road surface conditions
-
Improve pothole and defect detection systems
-
Build and improve the live road network map
-
Improve app stability, accuracy and performance
-
Communicate with beta testers where necessary
Data collected through the app is used for research, development and beta testing purposes.
3. Anonymisation
Journey and sensor data uploaded by the application is processed using randomly generated identifiers rather than directly identifying users wherever reasonably possible.
We aim to minimise the amount of personally identifiable information associated with journey data.
4. Data Sharing
Pot Hole Warrior does not sell personal information.
Data may be processed using trusted third-party cloud and hosting providers required to operate the beta platform.
We may share aggregated or anonymised road-quality insights in the future for research, infrastructure or mapping purposes.
5. Data Retention
We retain beta data only for as long as reasonably necessary to support development, testing and improvement of the platform.
Users may request deletion of submitted personal information by contacting us.
6. Beta Software Notice
Pot Hole Warrior is currently provided as beta software.
Features, functionality and data accuracy may change over time and the application may contain bugs or inaccuracies.
Users should not interact with the application while driving and remain fully responsible for operating their vehicle safely and legally at all times.
