The policy, in full

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

The short version

GarageLog does not ask you to create an account, does not show advertising, and does not include analytics or crash-reporting services. Your logbook stays on your device unless you deliberately use a feature that sends it somewhere.

What we collect

Nothing. We do not collect personal information, we do not operate a server that receives your data, and we have no account system. There is no database of users because there are no users to key.

What stays on your device

Every entry — a fill-up, a service, a cost, a receipt image — is stored in the application sandbox on your device. The app cannot read other apps' data, and other apps cannot read the app's data. A local snapshot is written before any database schema change, so a migration cannot silently destroy your records.

Permissions, and why each is needed

GarageLog requests only the permissions it genuinely uses. Each is requested at the moment the relevant feature is used, and declining never blocks the rest of the app.

Permission Why
POST_NOTIFICATIONS To show the service reminders you asked for.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM So a service reminder arrives when you chose, not hours later. Android treats this as a special access you can review and revoke at any time in system settings.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED To re-arm reminders after a restart, which Android clears for safety.

If a future version adds a permission, this policy and the app's AGENTS.md are updated in the same change, with the reason recorded.

Data you export

Export produces a CSV file, a PDF report, or a JSON backup that you choose where to save. Once you have written that file, its handling is entirely up to you and wherever you put it.

Deleting your data

Delete everything from within the app, or uninstall it. Because GarageLog has no account and no server copy, there is nothing held elsewhere and no deletion request to make.

Children

GarageLog is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.

Your rights

Because no data is collected, there is nothing for us to disclose, correct or erase on your behalf. You have full access to, and full control over, everything the app holds.

Changes to this policy

If a change ever affects what the app does with data, this page is updated in the same release as the change, and the store listing is updated to match.
