YOUR PRIVACY

Privacy Policy

Reading Bins Reminder is designed to do one simple job without asking for more information than it needs.

Effective date: 1 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Reading Bins Reminder (“the app”, “we”, or “us”) handles information when you use the Android application.

Information we process

To show collection dates for your property, the app asks only for your postcode and the first line of your address. This information is stored securely on your device. It is never collected, received, or stored by the app developer.

Reading Bins Reminder does not require you to create an account and does not ask for your name, phone number, payment details, or contact list.

How we use information

We use this information only to:

  • find and display bin collection dates for your property;
  • schedule the reminders you choose;
  • save your collection details securely on your device; and
  • maintain the app’s functionality.

We do not have access to this information. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or use it for any other purpose.

Sharing and third parties

When you request your collection dates, the app sends your postcode and the first line of your address directly to the Reading Borough Council website. This works in the same way as if you had entered the information into the council website yourself. The council’s response is returned directly to the app.

Your address information is never sent to, seen by, or shared with the app developer or anyone else. There are no advertising, analytics, or data-broker services receiving this information.

Storage and deletion

Your postcode, the first line of your address, collection schedule, and reminder preferences are stored securely and only on your device. The app developer does not operate a server or database that receives or stores this information.

You can remove locally stored app information at any time by clearing the app’s data in Android settings or uninstalling the app.

Children’s privacy

The app is a household utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when we make changes.
