2. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect the following categories of data:

  • Account and identity data: name, email address, profile photo, login provider, unique account ID, username, locale, and account timestamps.
  • Authentication data: information received from the sign-in provider you choose, such as Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple.
  • Vehicle data: vehicle name, plate number, make, model, year, color, odometer, VIN, condition-of-use settings, vehicle image, and related vehicle records you submit.
  • Maintenance and file data: maintenance titles, notes, dates, parts, services, costs, odometer readings, categories, attachments, photos, receipts, and documents that you upload.
  • Fuel and cost data: fueling date and time, quantity, total price, price per unit, fuel type, gas station brand, optional location text, station search text, place suggestions, geocoded address results, and mileage updates.
  • Shared vehicle, invite, and transfer data: invite sender and recipient identifiers, sender name, sender email, invite status, vehicle-sharing relationships, and ownership transfer records.
  • Troubleshooting and community data: posts, replies, likes, vehicle make/model references, translated display output, and related profile-linked activity.
  • Notification data: push-notification preferences, Firebase Cloud Messaging token(s), and locale used to send notifications.
  • Preferences and synced settings data: theme mode, language, currency symbol, distance and volume units, date format, onboarding/tutorial flags, maintenance registration count, first-fuel and review-request timing, and certain settings that may be synchronized to your account profile.
  • Subscription and purchase data: subscription plan status, app store product identifiers, product pricing display, and purchase or restore status information needed to enable premium features. Payment information is handled by Apple or Google, not stored directly by us.
  • Diagnostics, configuration, and security-related data: crash reports, app integrity signals, technical logs, feature-flag or remote-configuration state, and other data used to secure, operate, and troubleshoot the Service.
  • Advertising-related data: limited data used by ad providers, including ad requests, ad responses, ad interactions, and rewarded-ad events when ads are enabled or when you choose to watch an ad to unlock a feature.
  • Analytics and session data: usage events, screen interactions, and similar analytics or session-insight data collected through tools such as Firebase Analytics or Microsoft Clarity, when enabled.
  • Translation and export/share data: text you choose to identify or translate in troubleshooting features, language-model downloads needed for on-device translation, and export/share actions you initiate for reports or files.

3. Data Collected from Optional Permissions

Some features require optional permissions that you can allow or deny:

  • Notifications: if you enable notifications, we may request permission and store a push token to send maintenance, mileage, or community notifications.
  • Photos, camera, and files: if you choose to add vehicle images or maintenance attachments, the app may access your camera, photo library, or files selected by you.
  • Location: if you use the current-location option in fuel logging, the app may access your device location to help fill in a fueling address or search station/address information using Google location services. This feature is optional and is only used when you request it.

4. How We Collect Data

We collect personal data:

  • directly from you when you create an account or enter information into the app;
  • from authentication providers such as Google or Apple when you sign in;
  • from your device when you enable permissions such as notifications, camera, photos, files, or location, or when you use local device storage and in-app settings;
  • from app stores when required to query products, validate purchases, or restore subscriptions;
  • from service providers that help us host, secure, analyze, support, geocode, monetize, and operate the Service; and
  • from account-synced configuration stored in services such as Firestore when your preferences are synchronized across devices.

5. How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data to:

  • create and manage your account;
  • authenticate you and maintain sign-in sessions;
  • store and display vehicle, maintenance, fuel, statistics, and shared-access data;
  • upload and serve attachments and images;
  • send reminders and push notifications;
  • support shared vehicles, invites, and ownership transfers;
  • operate troubleshooting posts, replies, likes, optional translations, and related notifications;
  • enable, verify, restore, and enforce premium subscription access and feature entitlements;
  • support exports, report generation, and sharing actions that you choose to initiate;
  • remember and synchronize your preferences and app settings;
  • provide optional location-assisted station/address lookup and geocoding in fuel features;
  • measure usage, ad interactions, session behavior, performance, and product reliability;
  • detect, prevent, and investigate abuse, fraud, and technical issues; and
  • comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

6. Legal Bases for Processing (Brazil / LGPD)

If the Brazilian General Data Protection Law ("LGPD") applies, we may process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the context:

  • Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures: to provide the account, vehicle management, sharing, premium, and related app functionality you request.
  • Consent: for optional permissions and specific processing that depends on your authorization, such as notifications, camera/photo access, file access, and current-location use.
  • Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, improve, and support the Service, provided your rights and freedoms are respected.
  • Legal or regulatory obligation and regular exercise of rights: when necessary to comply with law, enforce rights, or respond to disputes or lawful requests.

7. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data in the following situations:

  • With service providers: such as Firebase/Google services, cloud storage, push notification, crash reporting, analytics, session insights, app integrity, maps/geocoding, translation-related services, advertising, and app store billing services that help us operate the app.
  • With other users: when you share a vehicle, send an invite, transfer a vehicle, or publish troubleshooting/community content that is visible to other users.
  • With sharing targets you choose: when you export a report or share a file through your device OS or another app selected by you.
  • With payment platforms: when required for subscription management through Apple App Store or Google Play.
  • For legal reasons: if required by law, court order, governmental request, or to protect rights, security, users, or the Service.
  • In a business transaction: if the Service or business is reorganized, sold, or transferred, subject to applicable law.

8. Public or Shared Content

Please be careful with information you choose to share. Vehicle-sharing features make relevant vehicle data available to invited or authorized users. Troubleshooting posts, replies, and engagement features may be visible to other users of the Service.

Do not post sensitive information, private third-party information, or documents you do not want others to access through shared or community features.

If you export reports or share files, the exported content may become available to the apps, services, recipients, or storage locations you choose. Those third parties handle the shared content under their own terms and privacy practices.

9. Advertising

The app may display ads through Google Mobile Ads when advertising is enabled. We may also offer rewarded ads if you choose to watch a short video to unlock a feature. Ad providers may process device or app-related information in accordance with their own privacy notices and platform rules.

10. Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity, when enabled, to understand how people use and interact with our app, website, and related web pages. Clarity may collect usage and interaction data through first-party and third-party cookies, session replay, heatmaps, behavioral metrics, and similar tracking technologies, including clicks or taps, scrolling, page or screen interactions, device and browser information, and other technical usage signals.

We use this information to improve usability, diagnose technical problems, understand feature performance, support product optimization, help prevent fraud or misuse, and measure the effectiveness of our communications or advertising where applicable. Sensitive data is masked or hidden in Clarity, and we configure Clarity so that we only review usability and interaction behavior. We do not intentionally use Clarity to collect or view passwords, payment card numbers, document contents, private notes, or other sensitive personal content.

Microsoft may process Clarity data according to its own privacy practices. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

11. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process or store personal data in Brazil or other countries. When international transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards and applicable legal bases under relevant data protection law.

12. Data Storage and Retention

We store personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Service, maintain shared records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and support legitimate business operations.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of data. For example:

  • account and profile data may be kept while your account is active;
  • vehicle, maintenance, fuel, invite, and troubleshooting records may remain until deleted by you, by us according to our policies, or by valid request;
  • device-side preferences may remain on your device until cleared or uninstalled; and
  • certain records may be retained longer where required by law, security needs, backup procedures, or dispute handling.

13. Account Deletion and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account or personal data by emailing minegarage@dansplab.com.

Important: deleting or disabling your authentication access does not necessarily mean that all associated app records, shared records, backups, or legally required logs are erased immediately. If you want deletion of stored app data, please make that request explicitly.

We will evaluate and process deletion requests within a reasonable period and may retain certain information where legally permitted or required, including under Article 16 of the LGPD.

14. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, including the LGPD, you may have rights to:

  • confirm whether we process your personal data;
  • access your personal data;
  • correct incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
  • request anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary or unlawfully processed data;
  • request portability where applicable;
  • request deletion of data processed based on consent, when applicable;
  • obtain information about data sharing;
  • revoke consent for optional processing, where consent is the legal basis;
  • request review of decisions where required by law; and
  • lodge a complaint with the competent authority, including the ANPD in Brazil.

To exercise these rights, contact minegarage@dansplab.com.

15. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Children's Privacy

Mine Garage® is not intended for children under 13, and where applicable we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of law. If you believe a child provided personal data improperly, contact us so we can review the situation.

17. Third-Party Services

The Service may use third-party services such as Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Firebase Storage, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Remote Config, Firebase App Check, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, Google Maps/Places/Geocoding services, Google ML Kit language identification and on-device translation, Google Mobile Ads, Microsoft Clarity, Apple App Store, Google Play, and device-level sharing or review services. Those third parties may process data according to their own privacy policies and terms.
