Data controller
AutoCare is published by Adelem Labs (sole proprietorship, France). For any question about your personal data: support@labs-autocare.com.
Data we process
Account — name, email address and sign-in identifier, through Firebase Authentication (Google), or “Sign in with Google” / “Sign in with Apple” depending on your choice.
Your content — vehicles, expenses, reminders, mileage readings and notes you enter. They are stored in Cloud Firestore (Google) and tied to your account.
Photos — your profile photo and vehicle photos are stored locally on your device; only a reference is saved to your account.
Location — your precise position is used only, and at your request, to show nearby petrol stations. It is not stored, not tied to your identity, and never used for tracking.
Vehicle condition tracking — the periodic checks you carry out, the symptoms you report and the resulting health score. This information relates to the vehicle, never to its driver, and is used solely for your reminders and your score.
Scanned documents and invoices — the images you choose to scan, for the time needed to extract their information (see the next section).
Subscription — if you subscribe to AutoCare Plus, the status of your subscription. Payment is handled by Apple: we never receive or store your payment details.
Purposes
Providing the features of the application: managing your vehicles, tracking your expenses and deadlines, computing your health score, sending you reminders (local notifications), showing fuel prices around you and managing your subscription, if any.
Document scanning and artificial intelligence
AutoCare distinguishes two levels of processing, and you stay in control of both:
On your device only — odometer and licence-plate reading is performed locally by iOS's image-analysis frameworks. No image ever leaves your iPhone.
With our analysis provider — for maintenance invoices and the vehicle registration document, the image is transmitted encrypted to our provider (Anthropic, Claude API) for the sole purpose of extracting the relevant information. These images are not used to train models and are not retained by the provider beyond processing.
The registration document, specifically. This document carries its holder's identity and address. AutoCare extracts and stores only the vehicle characteristics (make, model, fuel type, first registration date, power, plate number). The holder's name and address are never extracted, stored, or shared with anyone.
These scanning features are optional: you can enter everything by hand.
Third-party services
Firebase / Google (Authentication, Cloud Firestore) — authentication and hosting of your data.
Sign in with Google / Apple — authentication, if you choose these methods.
Public fuel-price API (data.economie.gouv.fr) — queried to display prices; no personal data is sent to it.
Anthropic (Claude API) — analysis of the invoices and registration documents you scan, only when you use that feature.
Apple (App Store) — management of AutoCare Plus subscriptions and payments. We never have access to your payment methods.
Safety recalls (RappelConso public data) — consulted to warn you about a manufacturer recall affecting your vehicle; no personal data is sent to it.
Advertising and tracking
AutoCare contains no advertising, no third-party trackers, and neither sells nor shares your data for commercial purposes.
Subscriptions and billing
The AutoCare Plus subscription is purchased and billed through the App Store, under Apple's terms, and is managed from your iPhone settings. If you end your subscription, you keep all of your data as well as read access to your history; only the Plus-only features stop being available. Professional plans are billed directly by Adelem Labs, outside the App Store.
Retention and deletion
Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete my account: the associated data is then permanently erased.
Your rights (GDPR)
You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure and portability. Most of them can be exercised directly in the app (editing or deleting your content, deleting the account). For any other request: contact@labs-autocare.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data-protection authority (www.cnil.fr).
Security
Exchanges are encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to data is protected by Firestore security rules restricting each user to their own data. Optional biometric locking (Face ID / Touch ID) protects access to the app.
Children
The Service is not intended for people under 15 without the consent of a holder of parental authority.
Changes
This policy may evolve with the application; the date of the last update appears at the top of this section.
Usage disclaimer
AutoCare is an information and tracking tool. Maintenance recommendations, generated plans, the health score and symptom analyses are indicative and are in no way a substitute for the advice of a qualified professional or for your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule.
If you have any doubt about the safety of your vehicle, do not drive it and see a mechanic.
Amounts presented as savings are estimates, computed from recorded prices and your own entries. They are provided for information and are neither a guarantee nor a contractual commitment.
Fuel prices come from official public data and are displayed as declared by the stations: they may have changed since their last update.
