This privacy policy applies only to the information collected through your use of the Mobile Application.

For purposes of this privacy policy, “personal information” is defined as information that identifies, or can be used to identify, an individual. We collect personal information from individuals using the Mobile Application. Any references in this policy to “you” or “your” should be interpreted in the context in which the information is processed.

Our legal bases for processing your personal information include your consent, fulfilment of a contractual obligation, and where we have a legitimate interest to process your personal information, provided that our interests do not outweigh your individual rights and freedoms.

  • Camera: If you wish to scan the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) via 1D or 2D barcode, Mobile Application the Mobile Application needs access to your camera. The scanned VIN is decoded which enables the Mobile Application to return data-wiping instructions based on Make, Model, and Year of the scanned VIN data and to uniquely determine which vehicles have been wiped.
