Data Collection and Purpose

A. Account & Authentication

We use Supabase Auth for registration. We collect your email address and display name to provide access to your personal digital garage.

B. Photos & AI Processing

When you scan a vehicle, photos are processed using the Google Gemini API to identify the car model and extract technical data. Images are uploaded to Supabase Storage.

C. Location Data

To track where vehicles were found, the app collects GPS coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) and location names. While exact coordinate details are kept private and visible only within your personal collection, any location data used in public features (such as the Global Hunt Map or the public Race Strip feed) is strictly and automatically anonymised to the city or region level only (exact street names and house numbers are discarded before publication).

D. Community Interaction & User Content

If you interact with other collectors by posting comments or likes on the global feed, or by enabling your public profile settings, your chosen display name, avatar photo, and submitted comments will be visible to other registered users of the app.

Third-Party Services

We share data with the following providers for technical functionality:

AI Specifics

Image data sent to the Google Gemini API is used for inference only. According to current API policies, this data is not used to train Google's base models.

Your Rights & Data Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time.
Account Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data (including all photos and vehicle records) directly within the app's settings.

Legal Basis

The processing is based on your consent and the necessity to provide the app’s services. Legal jurisdiction is Uster (Zürich), Switzerland.
