Privacy Policy for CarVault

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how CarVault ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to ensuring your privacy is protected.

2. Information Collection and Storage

CarVault is designed as a "local-first" application. This means:

• All data entered into the app (such as vehicle details, fuel logs, service records, odometer readings, and personal notes) is stored exclusively on your device.
• We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal or vehicle data on our servers.

3. Device Permissions

To provide its features, CarVault may request the following permissions on your device:

• Camera & Photo Library (Images): The app requires access to your camera and gallery so that you can attach photos of your vehicle, driving licenses, insurance documents, and service receipts to your digital records. All photos selected or taken within the app remain on your device.
• Storage / Media: To allow you to export backups of your records, the app requires permission to write files to your device's local storage.

4. Third-Party Services

CarVault does not integrate with any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services that harvest user data.

5. Data Security

Since all data is stored on your local device, the security of your information is tied to the security of your device. We recommend utilizing device-level security features like passcodes, fingerprint, or facial recognition to protect access to your phone and the data within the app.

6. Age Requirement (18+)

Our Application is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older. We have implemented this age requirement because, in many countries, individuals must be at least 18 years old to obtain a driving license. As our app is designed for vehicle owners and drivers, this limitation aligns with those legal driving requirements. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.

7. Changes to This Privacy 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. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
