Privacy Policy

CarProofGuard  |  Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how CarProofGuard ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Information We Collect

CarProofGuard collects the following types of information solely to provide its core features:

• Photos: Images captured through your camera to document vehicle condition. Photos are stored locally on your device only.
• Location: Optional GPS coordinates to tag the location of an accident or inspection. Used only when you explicitly trigger it.
• Voice/Audio: Voice recordings you make to add notes to a report. Processed and stored locally on your device.
• Vehicle & Incident Details: Text you enter such as vehicle numbers, notes, and incident descriptions. Stored locally on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

All data collected is used exclusively to:

• Generate accident and vehicle condition reports within the app
• Produce PDF documents you can share or save
• Provide AI-assisted text improvement (via a secure Cloudflare Worker — only the text you submit is sent; no personal identifiers are transmitted)

3. Data Storage

All photos, reports, and personal data are stored locally on your device. We do not operate servers that store your personal data. The only network request the app makes is an optional AI text-polish feature, which transmits only the report text you choose to submit.

4. Camera Permission

CarProofGuard requests access to your device camera solely to capture vehicle condition photos as part of an inspection or accident report. Photos are never uploaded to any external server without your explicit action (e.g. sharing via your device's share sheet).

5. Microphone Permission

The microphone is used only for voice-to-text note taking within the app. Audio is processed on-device and is never transmitted externally.

6. Location Permission

Location access is optional and only used when you tap "Capture Location" to tag an incident. Location data is stored in your local report only and is never sent to third parties.

7. Third-Party Services

The optional AI text-improvement feature routes text through a Cloudflare Worker to the Google Gemini API. Only the report text is sent — no names, photos, device identifiers, or personal information are included in this request.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Reports are only shared when you explicitly choose to share them (e.g. via email, WhatsApp, or another app on your device).

9. Data Retention & Deletion

All data is stored on your device. You can delete any report or all app data at any time by clearing the app's data in your device settings or uninstalling the app.

10. Children's Privacy

CarProofGuard is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
