Garagey

Privacy Policy

Last updated 20 September 2026

Garagey keeps your car records on your phone. There is no account, no server of ours, no analytics, no advertising, and no third party trackers of any kind. This page explains the only case where anything leaves your device, which you choose to switch on, and the two ways you can move your own records to a new phone.

What Garagey stores, and where

Everything you enter goes into a database on your own device: your cars, service history, reminders, issues, notes, mileage, and your app settings. The app is fully usable this way, with no account and no internet connection.

We have no copy of your records

Garagey has no accounts and no sign in, and we do not run a server that your records are sent to. Nothing you type into the app is transmitted to us, ever. Earlier versions of Garagey offered an optional account; that service has been shut down and the database behind it deleted.

Backups, and moving to a new phone

Because we hold nothing, keeping your records is something you control. There are two ways, and neither involves us.

How	What happens
Your phone's own backup	Garagey stores its database and your photos in the app's documents folder, which iOS includes in your iCloud backup if you have one switched on. That backup is between you and Apple, under Apple's privacy policy. We have no access to it and no way to read it.
A backup file you save	Settings, Backup writes your whole garage, photos included, to a single file and hands it to the system share sheet. Where it goes from there is your choice: iCloud Drive, another app, or a computer. It is never sent to us.

A backup file contains everything in your garage in readable form, photos included. Treat it the way you would any other personal document, and share it only with people you intend to give your records to.

Car imagery, off by default

Garagey can show a studio render of your car instead of a drawn outline. This is a setting you choose, under Settings, Car imagery.

Drawn keeps the hand drawn silhouette and makes no network request at all.
Demo and your own key request an image from a third party image service, imagin.studio.

That request contains only the car's make, model, and year. It does not contain your plate, your VIN, your mileage, your email, your name, or any identifier for you or your device. imagin.studio handles those requests under its own privacy policy.

Who else is involved

imagin.studio, for car renders, and only if you turn car imagery on.
Apple, which handles app distribution and any crash reports you have chosen to share with developers in your iOS settings.

That is the complete list. Garagey contains no advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, and no social network SDK. We do not sell or share your data, and there is nothing in the app that profiles you or tracks you across other apps or websites.

Keeping and deleting your data

Deleting a car in the app removes it and its records from that phone.
Restoring a backup replaces everything currently in the app on that phone.
Deleting the app removes its database and photos from your device.
Any backup file you saved, and any iCloud backup of your phone, is yours to delete wherever you put it.

There is nothing for us to delete on request, because we hold nothing. If you want a copy of your records, Settings, Backup gives you the complete set in one file.

Children

Garagey is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it, and the previous versions remain visible in the public repository this page is published from.
