CategoryWhatWhy
AccountEmail addressAuthentication, session management, notifications
Device identifierslocalStorage device ID, browser fingerprint, user agent stringMulti-device account linking, fraud detection, ban-evasion prevention, active-shift locking
Precise locationGPS latitude/longitude, speed, heading, accuracy radiusZone signal attribution, delivery metric estimation, mileage auto-tracking for tax records, "head here next" recommendations; checking that an offer you logged was driven to (a stop at the store you named), and showing you where you stopped during a dash you added a screenshot of
Screenshot contentDelivery offer images you upload; extracted fields: store name, payout amount, estimated miles, dispatch time, platform (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Uber, or Lyft). We explicitly do NOT extract customer names, delivery addresses, or any customer PII.Offer analysis, zone heat map learning
End-of-shift screenshotsA screenshot of your delivery or rideshare app's shift or day summary, order list or order that you add. It is read once by AI (Anthropic) and not stored. Kept: the platform, date, shift start and end times, number of deliveries, earnings and active time read from it, the rows of an opened shift (store, pay and time of each order), and a fingerprint (SHA-256) of the picture. No customer names or addresses are taken.Counting your verified deliveries for the Founders program; correcting your own earnings totals for that shift to what the app paid; showing you which orders are missing from your log; checking which of your logged offers count toward zone numbers; making sure the same screenshot, shift or day counts only once (on any account)
Founders rewardsThe tiers you reached, your one-time discounts, and the single-use Apple offer code given to you (with the plan it is for)Giving you the discount you earned, once
Offer recordsOffers you log: pay, miles, minutes, store, platform, your take/skip decision and time, the offer's own ID, the ID of the phone it was logged on, and — if you mark an order as fallen through — that and the amount you were credited. What you say is read on your phone first. Only when the pay or the miles cannot be read there are the words sent to our server and read by AI (Anthropic), together with the names of stores near you; those words are kept with your account email for 90 days. The list of what you recently said, and store names you corrected, stay on your phone.Your offer history, earnings analytics and tax records — saved to your account so they follow you to a new phone; reading a spoken offer the phone could not read
Offer checksFor each offer you log: whether your GPS readings show a stop at the store you named (a ride: that the trip was driven) and whether an end-of-shift screenshot covers it; the zone it was in; the store it matched; and the place of the stop. Separately, a store's name with a place where drivers stopped for orders from it ("learned stores") is kept without any driver's identity.Deciding whether an offer counts toward zone numbers (it always stays in your own log); showing you the result beside each offer; recognising a store that is not on our list
Trip & mileage dataComputed trip start/end times, distance traveled, business purpose annotationsAutomatic IRS-compliant mileage logging for tax deduction purposes
Usage & session dataApp state, shift timing, offer decisions, timer usageEarnings analytics, streak tracking, feature improvement
Payment dataSubscription status only. Card numbers and payment details are handled entirely by Apple (iPhone app) or Stripe (web) and never reach GigEdge servers.Subscription management
Subscription consent & notices (web)When you subscribe on gigedge.app: the plan, price and renewal terms shown to you, that you confirmed them and when, your app version and browser type. The subscription emails we send you (confirmation of your terms, yearly reminders, renewal and price-change notices, cancellation confirmation) and when they were sent.

GigEdge is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to DoorDash, Inc., Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Lyft, Uber Technologies, or any other delivery, grocery, retail, or rideshare platform. Platform names are referenced only for nominative fair use to describe the third-party services our users work with. We do not share your data with these companies.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data for advertising. GigEdge products are ad-free.

5. Location & Mileage Data

GigEdge requests precise GPS location (via the browser Geolocation API or iOS CoreLocation) while the app is open and you are in an active session. On iOS, with your explicit permission, background location is used to automatically detect trip start/end events for IRS-compliant mileage tracking. Location data is:

You can deny location permission at any time via device settings. Denying location does not prevent basic app use but disables zone-based features and automatic mileage tracking.

6. Device Fingerprinting

GigEdge generates a browser/device fingerprint using: screen dimensions, timezone, platform, and user agent string. This fingerprint is stored alongside your account and used exclusively for: detecting ban-evasion, fraud scoring, and active-shift locking.

7. Data Retention

8. Your Rights (US State Privacy Laws)

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Indiana, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, Minnesota, or Maryland, you have rights under your state's privacy law including:

To exercise your rights, email support@gigedge.app with subject line "Privacy Request" and your registered email address. We will respond within 45 days.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

GigEdge does not track you across other websites or apps, does not run third-party advertising or analytics trackers, and does not let other companies collect your activity on GigEdge for those purposes. Because of that, a browser's "Do Not Track" signal doesn't change anything here — GigEdge works the same way with or without it. We don't sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, so there is nothing for a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to opt you out of.

9. GDPR (European Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the rights described above under the General Data Protection Regulation. Our legal basis for processing is your consent (for optional features like background location) and legitimate interest (for fraud prevention and service delivery). You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing support@gigedge.app.
