This policy explains how Ironpeak Digital LLC ("Ironpeak", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses and protects personal information of people in Australia who use the Zephyr app and website (zephyr.travel). We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Zephyr is made by Ironpeak Digital LLC, a company based in Colorado, United States. For any privacy question or request, contact us at:
Ironpeak Digital LLC

Mail: 2770 Arapahoe Rd, Lafayette, CO 80026, United States
| Information | Examples | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Name and email address from Google sign-in or email sign-up | To create and secure your account and contact you about it |
| Rig profile | Vehicle type, height, weight, length, tow vehicle details | To plan routes that avoid low clearances and weight limits for your rig |
| Location while using the app | Your device's GPS location and the start points and destinations you search for | To show where you are, calculate routes, and look up wind, weather and nearby places. We send these to our servers to do the calculation but don't store them. |
| Saved Routes (Pro) | Trip name, start and destination addresses and map points, dates, rig settings | So you can reopen trips you choose to save |
| Favourite places | Places you save as favourites | So you can find them again quickly |
| Community contributions | Road hazard reports (including the reported location), campground submissions, fuel station ratings and "Verify" confirmations, trip feedback | To improve road and stop information for all users |
| Badges and leaderboard | Badges you earn, and your miles planned, trips and badges if you join the leaderboard | To recognise travellers. The public leaderboard is off unless you turn on "Show on Leaderboard" in your profile settings. If you do, it shows your display name (or "Anonymous" if you haven't set one) and those totals, never your email address or location. Turn it off at any time to remove yourself. |
| Purchase status | Whether you have Zephyr Pro and your subscription status | To unlock Pro features. In Australia, Zephyr Pro is bought through Google Play in the Android app. Google handles payment; we never see or store your card details. |
| Notification token | A device token from Firebase Cloud Messaging | To send push notifications you've allowed |
| Server logs | Requests our servers receive, which can include your account ID and location | To keep Zephyr running, troubleshoot problems and protect against misuse |
Zephyr asks for location permission only while the app is in use. It doesn't request background location. Your navigation log stays on your phone and is never uploaded. When you plan or navigate a trip, your location and route points are sent to our servers to calculate routes, wind, weather and nearby information. We don't save them as a history. The exceptions are things you choose to save (Saved Routes and favourites) or submit (such as a hazard report), and short-term server logs (see section 8).
You can turn off location access at any time in your phone's settings. Navigation won't work without it.
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.
We share personal information only with service providers that help run Zephyr, and only what each needs:
| Provider | What they do | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Hosting, data storage, sign-in, maps, address search and routing | Account data, rig profile, saved data, and the locations and addresses needed to calculate routes |
| OpenWeatherMap | Wind and weather forecasts | Map coordinates along your route, without your name or account details |
| Google sign-in, app distribution, payments in the Android app (Google Play) and push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging) | Sign-in details, purchase information and a device notification token |
Community contributions such as hazard reports and fuel ratings are shown to other Zephyr users without your name. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
Ironpeak is based in the United States. Your information is stored and processed on AWS servers in the United States (US West, Northern California, and US East, Virginia). Our other service providers may process information in the United States or other countries. We take reasonable steps to make sure these providers protect your information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, by using established providers with strong security practices and contractual privacy commitments.
No system is perfectly secure. If a data breach is likely to cause you serious harm, we'll notify you and, where required, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
We'll respond to access and correction requests within 30 days, at no charge.
If you have a concern about how we've handled your personal information, email support@ironpeakdigital.co. We'll acknowledge your complaint within 7 days and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.
Zephyr is designed for adults who drive. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
We may update this policy as Zephyr changes. We'll post the new version on this page with a new "last updated" date, and tell you in the app about any significant changes.
