Petrol Rate: Pak Petrol Prices
Privacy Policy & Disclaimers
ZeeTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. developed the Petrol Rate: Pak Petrol Prices (branded as PetrolRate) application as a free informational and consumer utility tool. This service is provided at no monetary cost and is intended for use as is.
This page informs users of our policies regarding the collection, handling, and non-collection of personal information, as well as essential legal disclaimers, public regulatory data sources, and fuel relief transparency statements.
Petrol Rate: Pak Petrol Prices does NOT represent, act on behalf of, or possess authorization from any government entity.
This application is an independent third-party consumer software application developed by ZeeTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially associated with the Government of Pakistan, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division), Pakistan State Oil (PSO), or any other regulatory authority or governmental ministry.
Informational Educational Content Only: The "Subsidy" section of this application provides general educational guidelines and publicly reported information regarding petroleum subsidy and welfare initiatives in Pakistan.
- No Financial Processing: PetrolRate does not disburse, handle, or facilitate financial subsidies, cash assistance, or welfare funds.
- No Citizen Registration or Data Collection: PetrolRate does not collect, record, or store citizen Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) numbers, family registration records, or NADRA credentials on any remote server.
- No Official Application Portal: Any registration instructions, SMS guidelines, or helpline references displayed in the app are compiled from public circulars for citizen educational awareness only. Users must interact with authorized public portals or physical fuel stations directly.
All petroleum product retail rates displayed in this app — including Super Petrol (RON 92), High-Speed Diesel (HSD), Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO), and Auto LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) — are aggregated from publicly accessible regulatory notifications, press releases, and gazette announcements issued by Pakistan regulatory authorities.
Users are encouraged to verify official rates directly at the primary public source links below:
-
Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), Pakistan:
https://www.ogra.org.pk -
Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division), Government of Pakistan:
https://petroleum.gov.pk -

Price Accuracy & Calculation Disclaimers
- Informational Use: Retail fuel rates are published for convenient daily tracking. While the application synchronizes with verified public price announcements during official revision cycles, retail pump rates at individual filling stations may vary slightly due to regional freight equalization margins, dealer commission adjustments, or local transportation differentials.
- Estimation Calculations: The built-in calculators (Trip Cost Calculator, Full Tank Cost Estimator, and Fuel Volume Estimator) calculate estimates based on user-supplied parameters (distance in km, vehicle fuel average in km/L, or budget amount). They are designed for trip budgeting assistance and must not be considered binding financial or legal advice.
Information Collection, Permissions, and Use
We respect user privacy. All calculations and selected settings are executed locally on your device. The app does not require account creation, login credentials, or personal identification. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
1. Internet & Network Connectivity
Permissions: INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
- Purpose: Used to fetch current fuel rates and historical revision deltas from public API endpoints (oilprices.pk) and verify connectivity prior to initiating requests.
- Privacy: Requests only download public tariff datasets. No personal identifiers or user tracking profiles are transmitted.
2. Price Adjustment Notifications
Permission: POST_NOTIFICATIONS
- Purpose: Allows the app to deliver local notifications when official petroleum rate revisions occur (such as bi-monthly midnight price revisions).
- User Control: You can enable or disable notification alerts at any time in the app's Settings tab or via Android system notification settings.
3. Background Synchronization & Device Boot
Permission: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
- Purpose: Enables Android WorkManager to reschedule lightweight scheduled price checks after your device restarts during the midnight verification window.
- Privacy: Background checks run solely to verify public price numbers. The worker does not track GPS location or monitor background personal activities.
4. Local Data Storage & Offline Caching
- Purpose: Verified prices, price deltas, and user preferences (selected language: English or Urdu, theme preference) are cached locally in private device storage (Android SharedPreferences) to support offline viewing.
- Privacy: Cached records remain strictly on your local device. Uninstalling the app or selecting "Clear Storage" in Android settings permanently deletes all cached data.
Third-Party Services
The app incorporates industry-standard SDKs from Google to assist with push notification delivery, telemetry, and diagnostics:
- Google Play Services
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
- Google Analytics for Firebase
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Firebase Remote Config
Diagnostic & Crash Data
In the event of an application error or crash, anonymized technical telemetry is collected via Firebase Crashlytics. This information comprises device model, operating system version, timestamps, and stack traces solely for debugging and software stability enhancements.
Data Retention and User Deletion Rights
Because we do not operate remote user accounts or store personal user databases, we do not retain your personal information on our servers. You maintain total control over local device data, which can be erased at any time through Android system settings (Settings > Apps > PetrolRate > Storage > Clear Data).
Security
All network communications between the application and endpoints are encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS / HTTPS). We do not collect or store financial accounts, passwords, or government identity numbers.
Children’s Privacy
Our Service is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy & Disclaimers periodically to reflect app updates and regulatory compliance standards. Changes are effective immediately upon publication on this page.
Effective date: September 23, 2026 (Version 1.1.0).
