Privacy Policy for AutoTM

Last Updated: September 15, 2026

AutoTM ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use the AutoTM mobile application.

1. Data Collection and Storage (Offline-First)

AutoTM is designed as an offline-first application. Most of your vehicle data, including maintenance logs, fuel records, expenses, and documents, are stored locally on your device using a secure local database.

• Local Storage: We do not automatically upload your vehicle data to our servers. Your data stays on your phone.
• User-Initiated Backup: If you use the "Export Backup" feature, a copy of your database is created on your device. You are responsible for the security of where you choose to save or share this file (e.g., your own Google Drive or Email).

2. Permissions and Usage

To provide its core features, AutoTM requires the following permissions:

• Location: Used to find nearby workshops, gas stations, and to save your last parking location. This data is processed locally and is not shared with us or any unauthorized third parties.
• Bluetooth: Required to scan for and connect to ELM327 OBD-II adapters for real-time vehicle diagnostics.
• Camera/Storage: Used to take photos of receipts or documents and to attach files to your vehicle records.
• Notifications: Used to send service reminders and document expiry alerts.

3. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We use a limited number of industry-standard third-party services to enhance app functionality. These services may collect certain information:

• RevenueCat & Google Play Billing: Used to manage premium subscriptions. These services collect Purchase History and Device Identifiers to verify your entitlement status. This data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
• Google Play Services: Used for app updates, basic crash reporting, and device-level integrity checks.

4. Data Deletion and Management

AutoTM provides you with full control over your data. Because we do not use a centralized account system, you can manage your data as follows:

• In-App Deletion: You can permanently delete all locally stored records (vehicles, logs, photos, and settings) at any time by navigating to Settings > Data Management > Clear All Data. This action is irreversible.
• Uninstallation: Uninstalling the app from your device will automatically delete all data associated with AutoTM from your local storage.
• External Data Requests: For data associated with in-app purchases (managed by RevenueCat), you can request information or deletion by contacting us at the email address below.

5. Children's Privacy

AutoTM is not intended for use by children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
