We do not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it. The only personal data collected is your email address, and that too only if you sign up for an account or contact us via support.

b) Automatically Collected Data

The App may automatically collect certain technical and diagnostic information to support app functionality and enhance user experience. This may include anonymized data about your usage, system performance, and communication with your OBD adapter.

No personally identifiable data is collected automatically.

We do not sell or share your data for advertising or profiling.

To function properly, the App may request access to:

  • Bluetooth and Location: Required to connect with compatible BLE OBD-II adapters
  • Internet Access: For licensing, updates, and verifying subscriptions

4. Data Sharing

We may share data with trusted third-party services strictly for operating, maintaining, and improving the app (e.g., subscription verification, analytics, crash reporting). Shared data is always limited to what is necessary, and we take steps to ensure it is anonymized or non-identifiable wherever possible.

Examples may include analytics providers or error monitoring tools that help us understand usage patterns and improve reliability.

5. Subscriptions & Payments

All payments and subscriptions are managed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. We do not collect or store any payment details. Please refer to the privacy policies of these platforms for more information:

We respect your data and aim to provide transparency and control over how it's used.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in functionality or legal requirements. If changes are made, they will be communicated within the app. Continued use of the app after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
