Welcome to Cartune (“we”, “our”, or “us”), a CarPlay widget application developed by Vodeca. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the Cartune mobile application (the “App”).
Cartune does NOT collect, record, or store any of your private or personal data. None of your data is ever shared with or sold to third parties. The App operates completely offline on your device, ensuring total privacy.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. We designed Cartune to operate with a zero-data collection architecture.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect, store, upload, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, location, or account credentials.
- No Tracking: We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or other cross-app tracking mechanisms to track your activity across other websites or apps.
- No Server Uploads: All configurations, customized widgets, and app preferences remain stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to any servers owned by us or third parties.
2. Device and Integration Permissions
To provide CarPlay widget functionality, Cartune requests access to certain system resources. These permissions are used exclusively to enable the app features on your device:
- CarPlay Integration: Used to display widget information, dashboards, and app interfaces directly on your vehicle's CarPlay screen.
- Media & Playing Information: Used locally to display currently playing track details, album art, or playback status on your widgets. This data is read in real-time and never saved or transmitted.
- Local Storage: Used to store your custom widget configurations, layout preferences, and app settings directly on your device.
3. Third-Party AI Services and Data Processing
Our application offers an AI-powered widget customization feature. When you choose to use this feature and upload a photo, the image is securely transmitted to and processed by Google Gemini AI services solely for the purpose of generating customized widget layouts and designs.
We care about your privacy:
- Purpose Limitation: The uploaded photos are processed exclusively to deliver the widget generation service and are not used for any other purposes.
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not share your name, email, user ID, location data, or any other personal identifiers with the third-party AI provider.
- User Control: Data transmission only occurs after you grant explicit consent within the application by tapping “Allow & Continue”. You can choose not to use this feature at any time.
Google Gemini AI operates under strict data protection and privacy standards to ensure your transmitted visual assets are handled securely.
4. Third-Party Services
When you purchase, download, or update Cartune, you do so through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect transactional information, device identifiers, or crash logs in accordance with their own privacy policies.
If you opt-in to sharing diagnostics and crash details with developers through iOS settings, Apple may provide us with anonymous crash logs. We use this information solely to debug issues and improve the stability of Cartune.
5. Children's Privacy
Since Cartune does not collect any personal information, we do not knowingly or unknowingly collect, store, or process any data from children under the age of 13, in compliance with COPPA and GDPR regulations.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
