Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pocket Car (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”).

By creating an account or using Pocket Car, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When you create an account and use Pocket Car, we collect:

• Account information: your full name, email address, and password (stored in hashed form)
• Team data: team names, member roles, and invitation details
• Vehicle data: brand, model, year, mileage, prices, descriptions, and any other information you enter about vehicles
• Client data: names, phone numbers, and email addresses of clients you add to Needs
• Images: photos you upload of vehicles

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we collect only what is necessary to keep it running:

• Device information (device model, operating system version)
• Crash logs and error reports — used solely to fix bugs

We do not use any analytics, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, or behavioral tracking technologies inside the App.

1.3 Payment Information

Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe. When you choose a paid plan, you are redirected to Stripe’s secure payment page. We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit card numbers or bank account details. We receive only confirmation of your subscription status from Stripe. Stripe’s privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect solely to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the App
• Create and manage your account
• Enable team collaboration features (invitations, shared inventory, activity feed)
• Store and display vehicle listings, client needs, and associated images
• Process subscription status
• Send transactional communications (e.g., team invitations)
• Diagnose technical issues and fix bugs

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, profiling, or analytics. We do not sell your data to third parties. Your data exists in our systems for one reason only: to make the App work for you.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely in the cloud. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
• Hashed passwords (never stored in plain text)
• Access controls and authentication on all API endpoints
• Secure token-based session management

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

4. Data Sharing

4.1 Within Your Teams

When you join or create a team, other team members can see:

• Your name and email address
• Vehicles, needs, and activity you add to the team
• Images you upload to shared listings

4.2 Payment Processor

When you purchase a subscription, your payment details are handled directly by Stripe. We share only the minimum information required (such as your email address) to create and manage your subscription.

4.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your data if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Pocket Car, our users, or the public.

We do not share your data with any third parties for commercial purposes.

5. Your Rights and Controls

• Your account and profile information
• All vehicles, needs, and activity data you created

5.4 Data Portability

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format under GDPR.

5.5 Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your personal data by contacting us at contact@pocketcar.app. We will cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.

• Encrypted backups are purged within 90 days

7. Payment Information

When you purchase a subscription through the Apple App Store, your payment is processed by Apple. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment card details. Apple’s privacy policy governs the collection and use of your payment information. Please refer to Apple’s Privacy Policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ for more details.

8. Children’s Privacy

Pocket Car is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at contact@pocketcar.app.

9. Cookies and Tracking

The Pocket Car mobile app does not use cookies, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, or any form of behavioral tracking. We do not monitor how you use the App beyond what is strictly necessary to keep it functioning.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page and notify you through the App or by email.

Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
