Privacy Policy

Welcome. This privacy notice explains how we handle personal information collected through our website and mobile applications, including Low Clearance Map (lowclearancemap.com) and the HeadRoom mobile app. Both services are designed to help commercial drivers and travelers in tall vehicles, such as RVs and high-profile trucks, navigate safely.

Last Updated: October 26, 2026

Information Collection and Use

When you create an account, we collect the information needed to authenticate your identity and manage your subscription. Depending on how you register:

  • Email registration: We collect your email address.
  • Phone number registration: We collect your phone number, used solely for authentication via SMS verification. We do not use your phone number for marketing purposes.

If you sign in with a third-party identity provider (such as Google or Apple), we receive the email address and basic profile information that provider shares with us.

We also store account data you choose to add, such as vehicle profiles and saved places (see the Vehicle Profiles and Saved Places section below), and subscription status information received from our billing providers. The information we collect is used only to provide and support the Service, manage your account, improve our clearance data, and send service-related communications.

Log Data

Low Clearance Map (web): Whenever you visit our website, we collect information that your browser sends to us, referred to as Log Data. This may include your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser version, pages visited, the time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and other statistics. This data is collected in part through Google Analytics (see Analytics section below).

HeadRoom (mobile app): The HeadRoom app does not use Google Analytics. Requests the app makes to our servers (authentication, subscription checks, route and clearance queries, and syncing of your vehicle profiles and saved places) generate the same server logs and route data described in the next section.

Server Logs and Route Data

Our Service is hosted on Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run). As part of normal server operation, backend infrastructure logs are automatically generated and may include your IP address, request timestamps, and HTTP request metadata. These logs are retained for up to 30 days and are used solely for security monitoring and debugging.

In addition, when you submit a route query, we store the following information on our servers:

  • Start and end points of the requested route
  • Vehicle clearance parameters submitted (such as height, weight, and axle configuration)
  • Routing options selected (for example avoiding tolls or highways, or preferring truck routes)
  • The low-clearance hazards identified on the suggested routes
  • Timestamp of the request and, for signed-in users, your account identifier

This route data is retained and used to operate and troubleshoot the Service and to improve the quality and accuracy of our bridge and clearance data through ongoing curation and review. It is not used for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose beyond operating and improving the Service. We do not sell this data to third parties.

This applies to both the Low Clearance Map website and the HeadRoom mobile app.

Vehicle Profiles and Saved Places

Both Low Clearance Map and HeadRoom allow you to save one or more vehicle profiles (including details such as vehicle name, type, height, length, width, and weight) and saved places (such as a home address or other bookmarked locations), so you receive accurate clearance alerts for your specific vehicle and can plan routes more quickly.

When you are signed in, vehicle profiles and saved places are stored in your Low Clearance Map account on our servers and synced between the website and the HeadRoom app. We may derive your general home country or region from a saved home address for aggregate reporting on where our users operate. We may also use vehicle profile data in aggregate (for example, typical dimensions by vehicle type) to improve the Service.

Clearing your browser's site data or uninstalling the HeadRoom app removes any local copy from your device but does not delete the data stored in your account. You can delete individual vehicle profiles and saved places from within the Service, or contact us to request deletion of your account data.

Cookies

Low Clearance Map (web): Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for core site functionality such as user authentication and session management. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our site. These are only set with your consent.

You may accept or decline analytics cookies when prompted on your first visit. You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to use some portions of the Service.

HeadRoom (mobile app): The HeadRoom app does not use browser cookies.

Analytics

Low Clearance Map (web only): We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general geographic location. This helps us improve the Service.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

HeadRoom (mobile app): The HeadRoom app does not use Google Analytics or advertising trackers. Route requests, vehicle profiles, and saved places are transmitted to our servers as described in the sections above.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your personal information and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
