Privacy Policy
The short version: the apps work on your device. We do not run an account system or a server for them, and we do not receive the offers, rides, tips, or pictures the apps handle.
What the apps handle
- Screen content you choose to share. Tipshower Driver reads text on your screen, such as a ride offer from another app, only after you start screen sharing through the iOS system picker. Reading happens on your device.
- Offer details and results. The amounts, distances, times, ratings and the verdict the app works out, plus the criteria and vehicle costs you enter.
- History. A list of assessed offers that you can filter, mark as taken or skipped, and export. You choose how long to keep it (7 or 30 days).
- Optional pictures and addresses. If you turn them on, the app keeps a picture of the offer and the pickup and drop-off addresses with the History entry. If the app cannot read a screen that looks like an offer, it may keep a picture of it in History so you can review it.
- Rider first name. If the offer shows one, the app can show it on your paired Tipshower display. You can turn this off in Settings. It is not stored in History.
- Tip log and sounds. Tips you record and any audio files you import for alert sounds.
- Diagnostic log. A short technical log on your device that helps you check how the app is working.
Where it is stored
All of this stays on your device, protected by iOS file protection. We have no access to it. Deleting the app removes it. Your device backups (such as iCloud Backup) are controlled by your own iOS settings.
The link between your phone and the display
Tipshower Driver and Tipshower talk directly to each other over your local network (Wi-Fi or hotspot), using Bonjour for discovery. You pair them with a short code that expires after two minutes, and the connection is encrypted. The display receives only the figures needed to show the current ride, not incoming offers or your private criteria unless you turn on the optional "Recent offers" panel, which is held in memory only and is never saved.
What we do not do
- We do not collect your data on a server, and we do not sell or share it.
- We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking tools in the apps.
- We do not ask for your Uber, Lyft or any other account name or password, and the apps do not control, accept, or decline offers in other apps.
- We do not use your location.
Things you share on your own
- Exports and shares. If you export History as a CSV file or share a picture, it goes wherever you send it. That is your choice and outside the app.
- Contacting us. If you email support@tipshower.com, we receive your email address and what you write, and we use it only to reply.
Purchases
If the apps offer a subscription, the purchase is handled by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your card details. Apple's privacy policy applies to that payment.
Permissions the apps ask for
- Screen recording / sharing: to read offers you choose to share.
- Notifications: to show the verdict on your screen.
- Local network: to connect your phone and your display.
You can turn each of these off in iOS Settings at any time.
Children
The apps are made for adult drivers and are not directed to children under 13.
Changes
If we change how the apps handle data (for example by adding an account or cloud backup), we will update this page and the date above before that change reaches you.
