Privacy Policy
Car Identifier: CarWorth

We collect only what is necessary to provide car identification and valuation features. We do not sell your data.

• Camera & Photos — When you photograph a vehicle, the image is processed to identify the car's make, model, and year. Photos are not stored on our servers and are not shared with third parties beyond what is necessary for AI analysis (see Section 3).
• Photo Library Access — If you choose to import a photo from your library, access is granted only at the moment of selection. We do not browse or retain your photo library.
• Usage Data — We may collect anonymous, aggregated data about app interactions (e.g. number of scans, feature usage) to improve the app experience. This data cannot be linked back to you personally.
• Subscription & Purchase Data — In-app purchases and subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple. We receive only confirmation of your subscription status and do not have access to your payment details.
• Locally Stored History — Your scan history and detected vehicle records are stored locally on your device using your device's secure storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly share it.

Information collected is used solely to operate and improve the app:

• Car Identification — Photos you capture are sent to Google Gemini AI for analysis. Gemini returns structured data (make, model, year, trim) which we use to display results. Images are processed transiently and are not retained by our systems after the request completes.
• Market Valuations — Identified vehicle details are used to look up estimated market values. No personal information is attached to these queries.
• Subscription Management — Subscription status is used to determine which features (unlimited scans, Pro tier) are available to you.
• App Improvement — Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics help us understand which features are most used and where the app can be improved.

The app integrates with the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy which governs how they handle data.

We take the security of your data seriously and follow platform best practices:

• On-Device Storage — Your scan history and app preferences are stored locally on your device. They are protected by iOS's built-in data protection and sandboxing mechanisms.
• API Key Security — If you optionally provide your own AI API keys, they are stored in your device's Keychain — Apple's secure, encrypted credential store — and are never transmitted to us.
• Encrypted Transmission — All network requests to external services use HTTPS/TLS encryption.
• No User Accounts — The app does not require you to create an account. No email address, name, or personal identifier is collected by us.
• Data Retention — Images sent for AI analysis are not retained by our systems. Local scan history is retained on your device until you delete the app or clear your history within the app.

Car Identifier: CarWorth is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will take steps to delete such information.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, this restriction applies to children under the age of 16, or such other age as required by applicable national law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, applicable laws, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please reach out — we aim to respond within 48 hours.
