How Motor Log AI handles account, vehicle, VIN, photo, reminder, and subscription information in the iOS app and on this website.
Last updated: August 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Motor Log AI (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use:
The App is an iOS product. We do not currently offer an Android app.
By using the App or Site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App or Site.
Depending on how you use the App, we may collect:
| Category | Examples | Required to use the App? |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name/email from Apple or Google, Firebase user ID | Yes, for cloud sync |
| Vehicle profile | Year, make, model, trim, mileage, usage, notes | Yes, if you add a vehicle |
| VIN | Typed or camera-scanned Vehicle Identification Number | Optional, but used for decode and recalls if you provide it |
| Maintenance content | Checklists, service history, component-life logs, reminders | If you use those features |
| Photos | Vehicle cover photos you take or choose; older accounts may still have tire photos | Optional |
| Push tokens | APNs / Firebase Cloud Messaging device tokens | Only if you enable reminders |
| Subscription status | Motor Log Pro plan, product IDs, entitlement metadata | If you start a trial or purchase |
| AI feature inputs | Vehicle/task context, including VIN if stored | Only if you use Pro AI features |
| Technical data | Device/app diagnostics needed to run Firebase and billing | As needed to operate the App |
We do not use App Tracking Transparency, IDFA, or third-party advertising tracking in the App. We do not sell your personal information.
If you type a VIN or scan it with the camera, we store it on your vehicle profile and may send it to:
VIN is optional. You can add a vehicle with year, make, and model instead.
users/{your user id}/vehicles/{vehicle id}/photos/…).We do not use your camera or photo library for advertising.
If you enable maintenance reminders, we collect:
We store tokens with your account so our Cloud Functions can deliver lock-screen reminders. You can disable reminders in the App and in iOS Settings.
If you start a trial or purchase Motor Log Pro, we receive subscription and entitlement metadata needed to unlock Pro (plan, vehicle caps, product identifiers, expiration / renewal status, and billing identifiers).
Payment card numbers are processed by Apple (in-app StoreKit purchases) and, for optional web checkout, by RevenueCat Web Billing. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
When you use AI-assisted features (vehicle research when adding a car, DIY insights, owner/community insights, overview insights), we send the relevant vehicle and task context — which may include VIN, year/make/model, mileage, and the maintenance item you asked about — to Anthropic through our Firebase Cloud Functions. We do not embed third-party AI API keys in the App. AI features require an active Pro subscription.
If you submit the contact form on the Site, we collect the name, email address, topic, and message you provide so we can respond. We also apply rate limits that use your IP address to prevent abuse.
We use this information to:
We do not sell your personal information. We share information with service providers that process it on our behalf:
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or security, or in connection with a business transfer.
Your garage data is not shared with other Motor Log AI users.
In the App: Motor Log Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase (StoreKit). Apple processes payment. We receive subscription status so the App can unlock Pro.
Optional web checkout: Some users may purchase through RevenueCat Web Billing in Safari. That purchase is completed on the web, not through Apple. Apple is not responsible for the privacy or security of purchases made on the web. We receive entitlement status after checkout so Pro can unlock in the App.
We do not store full payment card numbers.
We retain account and garage data while your account is active.
You can delete your account in the App (Account → Delete Account). Deletion:
App Store subscriptions must be confirmed cancelled in Apple’s subscription settings, which the App presents during deletion. Residual backups or logs may persist for a limited period. Payment records retained by Apple and RevenueCat are subject to their policies and legal requirements.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures, including authenticated access controls and Firebase security rules. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
The App and Site are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age where you live). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our providers (including Google Firebase, Anthropic, RevenueCat, Apple, and Imagin Studio) operate.
We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
