1. Overview
AutoCodex ("the App") is a vehicle management application for Android. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your rights.
2. Data We Collect
Data you provide
All data you enter into the App — vehicle details, service logs, fuel records, expenses, reminders, and documents — is stored exclusively on your device in a local database. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to external servers or accessible to us.
Location data
The App accesses your device's GPS when you use the following features:
- Route Tracker — records speed, distance, and route coordinates in real time while the feature is active.
- Parking — saves your current location as a parking pin so you can find your car later.
- Trip Calculator — uses third-party services (Nominatim for geocoding and OSRM for routing) to convert place names into coordinates and calculate driving routes. Only the place names or coordinates you enter are sent to these services; no device identifiers or personal data are included.
All location data is stored only on your device and is never uploaded or shared. Location access requires your explicit permission and is only used while the relevant feature is active. You can disable location access at any time through your device settings.
Crash reports
The App uses Sentry (sentry.io) to collect anonymous crash reports. If the App crashes, a report is automatically sent containing:
- The error message and stack trace
- Device model and Android version
- App version
Crash reports do not include user-entered data such as vehicle information or stored route history. They are used solely to identify and fix bugs.
3. Data We Do Not Collect
- No names, email addresses, or contact information
- No account registration required
- No advertising identifiers
- No analytics or usage tracking
- No data is sold to third parties — ever
4. Data Storage & Security
All your vehicle and maintenance data is stored in a SQLite database in the App's private storage on your device. This storage is sandboxed by Android and inaccessible to other apps. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all locally stored data. While reasonable technical measures are used, the security of your data also depends on your device's security (such as screen lock and encryption).
5. User Control and Rights
Because all data is stored locally on your device:
- You have full control over your data
- You can delete all data at any time by uninstalling the App
- You can restrict access by denying permissions (such as location access)
6. Children's Privacy
AutoCodex is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
7. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
- Sentry (sentry.io/privacy) for crash reporting
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim (osmfoundation.org) for place name geocoding in the Trip Calculator
- OSRM (project-osrm.org) for driving route calculation in the Trip Calculator
These services may process limited technical data necessary for their functionality. No device identifiers, personal data, or user accounts are shared with these services.
8. Future Features
If new features are introduced in the future (such as cloud synchronization or user accounts), this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and release an updated version of the App.
In-App Purchases
AutoCodex offers an optional one-time in-app purchase ("Pro") processed entirely by Google Play. We do not collect, store, or transmit any payment information. All billing is handled by Google LLC under their own privacy policy. The Pro status is stored locally on your device. We do not share purchase status with any third party.
