The application provides bioenergy-related services and aims to promote renewable energy awareness. By using the Biogas App, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Do Not Collect

Currently, the Biogas App does not require registration or a login screen. As a result, we do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII), such as your name, email address, or phone number, when you use the application.

• The type of mobile device you use

Location Information

The app may use GPS technology (or similar technology) to determine your approximate location to help provide relevant services, such as locating nearby biogas plants. If you do not want the app to use your location, you can disable location services in your device settings. Please note that some location-based services may not be available if location tracking is disabled.
