Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who We Are

CommuteGlow ("we", "our", "us") is a smart travel and skincare companion app available at commuteglow.com. We help you leave at the right time and maintain your skin health based on live weather and traffic data.

For any privacy questions, contact us through the support link at the bottom of this page.

2. Information We Collect

Account information: When you sign up, we collect your name and email address via Clerk, our authentication provider.

Location data: With your browser permission, we access your GPS coordinates to fetch localised weather data. We do not store your coordinates — they are sent directly to the weather API in real time.

Route data: Origin and destination addresses you enter in the Travel Monitor are sent to the Google Maps API. We do not store your route history on our servers.

Payment information: Payments are processed entirely by Razorpay. We receive only a payment confirmation token and your plan type — we never see or store your card or UPI details.

Usage data: Standard server logs (timestamps, page visits) may be retained for up to 30 days for debugging purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide personalised skincare routines based on your city's live weather
  • To monitor your commute route and alert you when traffic clears
  • To manage your subscription and verify payment status
  • To send push notifications you have explicitly opted into
  • To display your plan status and usage history in your dashboard

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
