Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 November 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Car Play Connect – Smart Dash (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles your information when you use our iOS application.

We respect your privacy. Our core principle is simple:

We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to our own servers.

All data stays on your device and is used only for the App’s functionality.

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Policy applies solely to the Car Play Connect – Smart Dash iOS application.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Access

The App may request access to certain information on your device only to provide core features. These permissions are controlled by iOS, and you can allow or deny them at any time in your device settings.

2.1 Contacts / Phone Book

  • What we access: Your device’s contacts (phone book).
  • Why we access it:
    • To allow you to quickly call or interact with your contacts through the App’s dashboard / CarPlay interface.
  • How it is processed:
    • Contact data is accessed locally on your device only.
    • We do not upload your contact list or individual contact details to our own servers.

2.2 Location Data

  • What we access: Your approximate or precise location (depending on your iOS settings).
  • Why we access it:
    • To provide location-based features such as navigation, maps, or location-aware suggestions within the App or CarPlay interface.
  • How it is processed:
    • Location data is processed on your device to power app functionality.
    • We do not send your location data to our own servers.

3. No Data Collection to Our Servers

We designed Car Play Connect – Smart Dash so that your personal data remains on your device.

  • We do not create user accounts.
  • We do not operate any backend servers that store your personal data.
  • We do not upload your contacts, location, or other sensitive data from the App to our own servers.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
  • We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

Any data used by the App is processed locally on your iPhone and/or within the Apple CarPlay environment.

If, in the future, we add any server-side features that require data transfer, we will update this Privacy Policy and clearly inform you.

4. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

The App offers in-app purchases and/or subscriptions via the Apple App Store.

4.1 Payments Processed by Apple

  • All payments are processed by Apple through your Apple ID account.
  • We do not have access to your full payment information (such as your full credit card number or bank account details).
  • Any billing data is handled in accordance with Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.

4.2 Purchase & Subscription Information

To enable subscription features, Apple provides the App with limited information, such as:

  • The type of product purchased (e.g., subscription tier or in-app purchase ID).
  • The purchase state (active, expired, in trial period, etc.).
  • A transaction identifier or receipt for validation.

This information is used only on your device to:

  • Unlock premium features.
  • Check whether your subscription is active.
  • Restore purchases when you reinstall the App or change devices (via Apple’s “Restore Purchases” mechanism).

We do not transmit this purchase information from your device to any server we control. We may, however, receive anonymous, aggregated sales and financial reports from Apple (e.g., number of purchases per country, revenue totals), and these reports do not contain your personal identity.

5. Third-Party Services

At this time:

  • We do not integrate third-party analytics SDKs that track you across apps.
  • We do not send your personal data from the App to third-party servers under our control.

However, please note:

  • Apple and iOS may collect diagnostics, crash reports, or usage data if you have enabled such sharing with Apple in your device settings.
  • Any such collection is governed by Apple’s own privacy policies, not this one.

We do not control how Apple or other operating system providers handle their own data collection.

6. Permissions & Your Choices

You are always in control of the permissions the App has:

  • Contacts Permission – You can grant or revoke access to your phone book through Settings > Privacy & Security > Contacts.
  • Location Permission – You can control whether the App can access your location (Never, Ask Next Time, While Using the App, Always) via Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.

If you revoke a permission, certain features of the App may no longer function (for example, contact shortcuts or location-based features), but the App will otherwise continue to work within the remaining granted permissions.

You can also manage:

  • In-App Purchases & Subscriptions via your Apple ID:
    • Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our App is not specifically targeted at children under the age of 13 (or the age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because we do not run backend servers or create accounts, we have no way to identify individual users. If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about a child’s use of the App, you can:

  • Manage permissions through the device’s settings.
  • Use Apple’s parental controls to restrict or remove access to the App.

8. Data Security

Because we do not receive or store your personal data on our servers, there is no remote database of your contacts, location, or personal profile associated with Car Play Connect – Smart Dash.

Your data remains on your device, and its security is protected by:

  • The security measures of your iOS device (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, etc.).
  • Apple’s built-in security features and sandboxing for apps.

We encourage you to:

  • Use a strong passcode or biometric lock on your device.
  • Keep your device updated with the latest iOS version.

9. International Users

The App may be downloaded and used worldwide. Regardless of where you use the App, our approach remains the same:

  • We do not collect or store your personal data on our own servers.
  • All access to contacts, location, and subscription data stays on your device and is used only for functionality and purchase validation.

If local laws impose additional requirements, your continued use of the App constitutes your understanding that we handle data only on-device as described here.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or if legal requirements change.

If we make material changes:

  • We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy.
  • Where required, we may also provide a notice within the App.

Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
