Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Car Maintenance & Glovebox handles information.

Car Maintenance & Glovebox is a private, local-first vehicle recordkeeping app. It does not require an account, shows no ads, and includes no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking software.

We do not collect your vehicle records. What you enter stays in the app’s private storage on your iPhone or iPad unless you choose to export, back up, or share it.

The app can link out to the App Store and to external websites, which have their own privacy practices.

What you keep in the app

You can enter and manage:

• Vehicle names, makes, models, years, trim levels, colors, notes, license plates, and Vehicle Identification Numbers

• Odometer readings and mileage history

• Service history, maintenance plans, reminders, shops, costs, categories, and notes

• Receipt images, vehicle photos, and PDF documents

• Warranty information

• Insurance information, including insurer, policy number, coverage dates, agent details, claims contact information, and insurance-card attachments

• Registration and inspection information

• Roadside-assistance information

• Accident Information notes

• App preferences and settings

This information is stored on your device. It is not sent to us, and there is no app server to send it to. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone.

Photos and documents

You may take a photo or select an existing photo or PDF for use in the app.

When you use an Apple photo or document picker, the app receives only the item you select — not your whole photo library or file collection. Selected files are copied into the app’s private storage and stay there unless you export, back up, or share them.

Sensitive information

The app can store VINs, policy numbers, registration numbers, and roadside membership numbers.

Where these appear in the app they are masked until you choose to reveal them, and they are left out of ordinary notifications, Siri and Shortcuts responses, Sample Garage content, and standard service-history exports.

Manual backup files do contain them, because a backup exists to restore your complete records. Store backup files somewhere secure.

Reminders and notifications

If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders locally on your device. There is no notification server.

A notification may show a vehicle nickname and maintenance task; a setting replaces those with more general wording. You can grant or withdraw notification permission at any time in your device’s Settings app.

App Lock

The optional App Lock uses your device’s Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. Authentication is performed by Apple on your device. We do not receive or store your biometric information, fingerprint, facial data, or device passcode.

Sample Garage

Sample Garage contains fictional demonstration records that show how the app works before purchase. It does not access, copy, modify, merge with, or export your own vehicle records.

Apple purchases

The app uses Apple’s StoreKit to offer a one-time Lifetime Unlock. Apple processes the purchase and the related Apple Account information; we do not receive your payment-card details.

Where Apple offers Family Sharing for this purchase, it shares the unlock with your family group. It does not share your vehicle records or documents.

Siri and Shortcuts

When you use supported Siri or Shortcuts actions, those actions use Apple system services governed by Apple’s privacy practices. The app does not expose Glovebox documents, policy numbers, registration numbers, roadside membership numbers, or Accident Information notes through them.

Backups, exports, and sharing

Backups are manual. The app never uploads or synchronizes your records on its own — a backup is created only when you ask for one, and a restore replaces the app’s current data after you confirm it.

You can also create service-history CSV files, PDF reports, resale packets, and copies of your photos and documents.

Whenever you back up, export, or share, you choose the destination through Apple’s system interface — Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, email, Messages, or another app. Once information leaves Car Maintenance & Glovebox it is handled by the destination you picked, under that provider’s terms and privacy practices, not ours. Review what a file contains before you send it.

Your device’s ordinary iPhone or iPad backup may also include app data, depending on your Apple and device settings. That process is controlled by Apple and by the settings you choose.

Deleting your information

You can delete individual vehicles, records, and documents in the app, and you can delete the app itself. Deleting the app removes the records and files it stored on that device.

Because your records live on your device rather than on a server, deletion is something you carry out and we cannot reverse — we have no copy to recover, and no copy to delete on your behalf.

Two things survive deleting the app: any file you previously exported, shared, or backed up, which stays wherever you saved or sent it until you delete it there; and any copy held inside an Apple device backup, which is governed by your Apple settings.

If you email support

Support is the one place we may receive information from you. If you write to us, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you attach.

Your mail app may prefill basic technical details such as the app version, your iOS or iPadOS version, and your general device type. It does not attach your vehicle records, VINs, policy numbers, registration information, documents, photos, or notes — please include only what is needed to explain the problem.

We retain support correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to respond to your request, maintain necessary business records, resolve disputes, or comply with law. You may ask us to delete your correspondence, subject to those obligations.

Children

Car Maintenance & Glovebox is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version is published online and in the app with a revised Last Updated date, and a significant change will also be noted in an app update or its release notes.
