My Car Info Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AutoDash-Pro collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the My Car Info mobile app.

By using My Car Info, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. App information

App name: My Car Info
Developer: AutoDash-Pro
Contact email: info@autodash-pro.com

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the app, we may collect and store the following information:

• Account information, such as your name and email address.
• Vehicle information you choose to add, such as registration number, make, model, MOT, tax, insurance, warranty, service, and breakdown cover details.
• Reminder information linked to your vehicles and important vehicle dates.
• Digital Glovebox information, such as provider names, reference numbers, expiry dates, notes, and document-related records that you choose to add.
• Uploaded document references or files, where supported and where you choose to use those features.
• Purchase entitlement information for paid app features, such as whether multiple vehicles or Digital Glovebox access has been unlocked.
• Technical information needed to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the app.

3. Information stored locally on your device

Some information may be stored locally on your device to support app functionality, improve convenience, or provide secure access.

• Biometric login uses your device’s built-in biometric authentication system, such as fingerprint or face authentication.
• My Car Info does not receive, store, or transmit your fingerprint, face scan, or biometric template.
• Where saved login access is enabled, credentials or login tokens may be stored securely using encrypted device storage.
• Driving licence photos, where used, are intended to remain stored locally on your device and are not uploaded to AutoDash-Pro servers by My Car Info.

4. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account.
• Allow you to save, view, edit, and delete vehicle information.
• Provide MOT, tax, insurance, warranty, service, and breakdown tracking features.
• Provide reminder and Digital Glovebox functionality.
• Manage access to paid features and restore purchases.
• Maintain app security, reliability, and performance.
• Respond to support requests.
• Comply with legal, security, fraud prevention, and accounting obligations where required.

5. Legal basis for processing

Where applicable under UK or EU data protection law, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

• Contract: to provide the app features you request, such as account access, vehicle records, reminders, and paid feature access.
• Consent: where you choose to provide optional information or enable optional features.
• Legitimate interests: to maintain app security, prevent misuse, improve reliability, and respond to support requests.
• Legal obligations: where limited retention or processing is required for legal, fraud prevention, tax, accounting, or regulatory reasons.

6. Firebase and third-party services

My Car Info uses Firebase services provided by Google to support app functionality, including authentication, database storage, and file storage where applicable.

• Firebase Authentication may be used to create and manage user sign-in.
• Cloud Firestore may be used to store account, vehicle, reminder, Digital Glovebox, and purchase entitlement data.
• Firebase Storage may be used where uploaded files or document storage features are enabled.
• Google Play services may be used to process in-app purchases and manage purchase status.

These providers process data only as needed to provide their services, maintain security, and support app operation.

7. Data storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Data transmitted between the app and Firebase services is encrypted in transit.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we aim to use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information.

8. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share or process information with trusted service providers, such as Firebase, Google services, and app store providers, only as needed to operate the app, manage purchases, provide support, maintain security, or comply with legal obligations.

9. Paid features and purchases

My Car Info may offer optional paid features, such as unlocking multiple vehicles or Digital Glovebox functionality. Purchases are processed by the relevant app store provider, such as Google Play.

We may store purchase entitlement information to enable access to paid features, restore purchases, and maintain correct premium access across app sessions.

10. Notifications and reminders

My Car Info may allow you to create reminders linked to vehicle dates, such as MOT, tax, insurance, warranty, service, or breakdown cover dates.

Notifications are used to remind you of important dates. You can control notification permissions through your device settings.

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data.
