Privacy Policy

 Ak Apps and Games ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide when using the "OBD2 Bluetooth Car Scanner" app ("App"). By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you use the OBD2 Bluetooth Car Scanner App, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number.

  • Non-Personal Information: The app may collect non-personal information, such as:

    • Device information (e.g., model, operating system version)
    • Usage data (e.g., how frequently you use the app, which features are used)
    • Log data (e.g., error reports, crash logs, diagnostic information)

  • Bluetooth and Vehicle Data: The app interacts with your vehicle's OBD2 system via Bluetooth. We may access vehicle-related data such as:

    • Vehicle make, model, and year
    • Engine performance metrics
    • Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and other vehicle data
    • This data is processed on your device and is not stored or transmitted to our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • To provide the functionality of the OBD2 Bluetooth Car Scanner App (e.g., accessing vehicle data and displaying diagnostic information)
  • To improve the performance and user experience of the app
  • To analyze app usage trends and troubleshoot technical issues
  • To comply with legal obligations if necessary

We do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your personal or vehicle data to third parties, except as required by law.

3. Data Storage and Security

  • Local Data Storage: All vehicle data accessed by the app is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not store any of your personal or vehicle data on our backend servers.

  • Data Security: We take reasonable precautions to protect the security of your data. However, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the app at your own risk.

4. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services, such as analytics providers or crash reporting tools. These services may collect information to help improve the App and monitor its performance. However, any data shared with third parties is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information.

For example:

  • Google Analytics for Firebase: We may use Firebase Analytics to gather information about how users interact with the app. Firebase may collect device-related data, including app version, device type, and operating system, but it does not collect personal or vehicle data.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics by following the instructions on their website.

5. Bluetooth Permissions

The OBD2 Bluetooth Car Scanner App requires Bluetooth access to connect to your vehicle’s OBD2 system. By using the app, you consent to the use of Bluetooth for communication with your vehicle's OBD2 device. The app does not access your Bluetooth data for purposes other than app functionality.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access and Control: Since we do not collect personal data, you retain full control over your vehicle’s data, which remains local to your device.
  • Data Deletion: You can delete the app at any time, which will remove any data stored locally on your device.
  • Opting Out of Analytics: If you do not wish to have your data collected for analytics purposes, you can disable app usage tracking through the settings of your device or the app itself, where available.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will take steps to delete such information from our records.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted in this section with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.
