Privacy Policy – Digital Garage

Effective date: September 26, 2026 · Versione italiana

This Privacy Policy explains how the Digital Garage app (“App”) handles your information. In short: everything you enter in the App stays on your device. There are no accounts and no analytics, and we have no servers that receive your data.

1. Data controller

The App is developed and maintained by an individual developer, who acts as the Data Controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

Name: Michele Porcaro
Contact: jamiromicdev@gmail.com

2. Data stored on your device

The App stores the following data only on your device, in its private local database. It is never sent to the developer or to any server.

Vehicles: name, license plate, registration date.
Vehicle photos (optional): photos you take with the camera or pick from your gallery are copied into the App’s private folder.
Deadlines and expenses: type, date, amount, notes, repeat interval and payment status.
Settings: reminder preferences and other App settings.

Purpose: to show your deadlines, remind you before they are due and, for Premium users, show your expense history. Legal basis: performance of the service you requested (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).

3. Permissions

Notifications: to remind you before a deadline (30, 7 and 1 day before, configurable). Reminders are scheduled locally on your device.
Run at startup: to restore scheduled reminders after the device restarts.
Camera / photos: only when you choose to add a vehicle photo, and only for the photo you select.

You can revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings. None of the data accessed through them leaves your device.

4. Subscriptions (Premium)

Premium subscriptions are sold through Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS). Payments are processed entirely by Google or Apple. We never see your payment details.

To manage subscriptions the App uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service. RevenueCat receives:

a random, anonymous user ID generated by the App (not linked to your name or email);
your purchase and subscription history for this App;
basic technical information such as device type, operating system and App version, and your IP address as part of the network connection.

RevenueCat does not receive your vehicles, deadlines, expenses or photos. Purpose: to verify and restore your Premium subscription. Legal basis: performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).

5. Backups and PDF reports

Premium users can create a backup file and export PDF reports. These files are created on your device and saved or shared only where you choose (for example your storage, or an app you share them with). The developer never receives them. Vehicle photos are not included in backups.

6. Data we do not collect

Names, email addresses or account credentials
Location
Advertising IDs or other tracking identifiers
Analytics, behavioral data, crash reports or diagnostics
Any data through advertising SDKs (the App contains no ads)

7. Data retention and deletion

Vehicles, deadlines, expenses, photos and settings: kept on your device until you delete them in the App or uninstall the App. Uninstalling permanently removes them.
Backup files and PDFs: kept wherever you saved them, until you delete them.
Subscription data at RevenueCat: kept for as long as needed to manage your subscription and meet legal obligations. You can ask for it to be deleted by writing to the contact above.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. Data is processed by third parties only as described in section 4. We may disclose data if required by law or a binding court order, and only to the extent strictly required.

9. International transfers

RevenueCat, Google and Apple may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions of the European Commission, as applicable to each provider.

Access (Art. 15) and rectification (Art. 16): your data is on your device and can be viewed and edited in the App at any time.
Erasure (Art. 17): delete items in the App or uninstall it. For subscription data held by RevenueCat, contact us.
Portability (Art. 20): Premium users can export their data with the backup feature.
Restriction and objection (Art. 18, 21): revoke permissions in your device settings, or contact us.
Automated decisions (Art. 22): the App does not use profiling or automated decision-making.

To exercise your rights, write to jamiromicdev@gmail.com. We will reply within 30 days.

11. Right to lodge a complaint

You can lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country of residence.

12. California users (CCPA)

13. Children’s privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the App, contact us and we will help delete any related data.

14. Security

Data is stored in the App’s private storage, protected by the operating system.
Communication with RevenueCat and the app stores uses encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.
No data is sent to servers operated by the developer.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the App’s release notes.
