This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the SpottyCar app ("the Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the data controller responsible for your data is SpottyCar, and this policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Your chosen nickname and profile photo are publicly visible to other users of the app. Your email address and password is never shared publicly and remains private.
We collect the following personal information:
The app may request access to the device’s camera, notifications, photo gallery, and storage to allow photo capturing and uploading of car spots. These permissions are used solely for the app’s core functionality and not for any other purposes. You can revoke permissions at any time through your device’s system settings.
• During registration, you provide your email, nickname and password.
• When you use the app, you manually upload car photos and can enable location services for live tracking.
The app does not automatically collect data, and all data is provided by you manually.
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
The app may send push notifications, for example about new comments, likes, follows, user activity, account changes, or new features. You can manage your notification preferences both in the app and in your device’s system settings.
Users may submit content to the app, including photos of cars (with visible license plates) and comments under spots. You are fully responsible for the content you publish. By submitting photos or comments, you confirm that you have the right to share them and that they do not violate the privacy or rights of others. In case of reported violations, content may be removed and accounts may be suspended. All reports are handled in accordance with our Terms of Service.
We will never share your email address with third parties. However, your nickname may be visible to other users when interacting within the app. We ensure your data is protected and not shared beyond the Service, except when required by law or in the case of business transaction such as a merger.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all your personal data will be permanently deleted from our database with no trace remaining. Account deletion is irreversible.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal data, but please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
The app is available worldwide, and your data may be transferred to countries outside your country of residence. Each spot uploaded will be associated with a country, and your data may be viewed and accessed by users in other countries. This includes transfers to countries that may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence. We will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Your location is used solely for the purpose of displaying live car spots and tracking them on the map. We do not store or use location data for any other purpose.
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be communicated by publishing the new version of the Privacy Policy on this page and by notifying users through the app or via email. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about any potential changes. The day of the latest update will always be indicated at the top of the Privacy Policy.
