Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Part 1 — TorQ-Haus 2.0

What the app stores

Your cars, service records, reminders, mods, wishlist, fill-ups, runs, photos, receipts and settings. They are saved in the app's private storage on your phone.

We do not run a server for your data and cannot see, access or recover it.

What we don't collect

No personal information, no usage analytics, no crash reports, no advertising identifiers and no location. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

When something leaves your phone

Only when you choose to:

• Backups and spreadsheets. When you back up or export, the app creates a file and hands it to your phone's share sheet. Where it goes — your files, a cloud drive, email — is your choice, and that service's own policy applies.
• Reports and Build Cards. Shared the same way, only when you tap Share or Save.
• VIN look-up. If you tap Look Up Details, the VIN alone is sent to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's free vehicle database (vPIC) to fill in your car's details. Nothing else is sent.
• Links. Opening a link, an app store or an email takes you to another app; the app asks first.

Moving data from an earlier version

Until February 13, 2027, you can copy the data from your earlier online account to your phone once. To do it, you sign in with Google or Apple, and the app downloads your old records and photos from the previous service (Google Firebase), with a Google app-integrity check. You are signed out when it's done. See Part 2 for what happens to the online copy.

Home-screen widgets

Widgets show information about your car on your home screen. The app passes them that information on the phone itself; nothing is sent anywhere.

Permissions

• Notifications — for the service and backup reminders you turn on. They are scheduled on the phone; no server is involved.
• Photos and camera — through the system photo picker and camera app. The app only receives the photos you pick or take.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your data stays until you delete it. Deleting a car removes everything recorded for it and its photos. Uninstalling the app removes all of it from your phone. Backup files you saved elsewhere are yours to keep or delete.

Children

TorQ-Haus is not directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone.

Part 2 — Earlier versions (1.x)

Versions before 2.0 used an online account. If you used one, this is what it holds and what happens to it.

Timeline

You can also delete your account and all its online data at any time from the Profile screen in version 1.x.

What the earlier version stored online

• Your account (email address, display name, username, profile photo) — Firebase Authentication, Firestore and Storage.
• Your cars, mods, maintenance, receipts, fill-ups, runs and their photos — Firestore and Storage.
• Community posts, Q&A, marketplace listings, crew memberships and reports you submitted.
• Live location during an active cruise only (wiped when the cruise ended) and routes you chose to save.
• A push-notification token, anonymous crash reports, app-integrity checks, and app-usage events with your plan type (Firebase Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics, App Check and Analytics).
• Subscription status, handled by Google Play and RevenueCat. Payment details were never collected by us.

Full details, as they applied to version 1.x: Privacy Policy for TorQ-Haus 1.x.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here and in the app, with a new date at the top.
