Privacy by design

Your vehicle data serves you — not an advertising profile.

The important answer appears first. Expand the exact data map, owner controls or future requirements when you need the complete policy boundary.

01

Local by default

Opening the App does not upload the Garage.

02

No ad business

No behavioural advertising profile or sale of Garage records.

03

Purpose before collection

Online requests use only the practical fields for that result.

04

Owner-controlled sharing

Backup, export and sharing remain deliberate actions.

The honest wording

We do not require a personal profile. Vehicle information can still be personal.

A Rego, VIN, vehicle photo, receipt, IP address or location can identify or relate to a person in context. Drilore therefore treats linkable vehicle data with personal-information care even when the core Garage does not ask for the owner’s name, birth date or contacts.

Infrastructure providers can process technical logs needed to deliver and protect a service. Exact provider, region and retention disclosures must be finalised before general public release.

02 · OWNER CONTROLSAccess, correct, export, restore and deleteOpen controls +

Access and correction

Current Garage data is visible and editable inside the App because it is stored on the device.

Portable backup

Export My Garage creates an encrypted file. You choose where to store it and keep the password separately. CSV is for review, not full restoration.

Deletion

Delete individual records or App data on the device. Copies you exported remain wherever you placed them and must be deleted there separately.

Permissions

Location is requested for a current nearby or weather action. Turning it off disables those results without deleting the local Garage.

03 · SEPARATE PURPOSESAnalytics and commerce cannot copy the GarageOpen boundaries +

Minimal product measurement

Future measurement should answer coarse product questions without sending Rego, VIN, receipts, notes or exact coordinates as analytics fields.

On-device insight first

Vehicle cost trends should be calculated on-device where practical. Optional cloud analysis must disclose purpose, fields, region, retention and deletion before consent.

Separate transaction purpose

Future checkout needs the customer details required for payment, delivery, support and legal obligations. Those belong to the order, not the local Garage.

Owner-approved crossing

An order may propose a receipt, warranty or replacement reminder. Nothing enters a Garage until the owner approves it.

04 · BEFORE LAUNCHCloud, forum, analytics and marketplace gatesOpen requirements +
01

Cloud Garage

Separate opt-in, disclosed data region, encrypted transport and storage, tested restore, export, deletion, backup-expiry and recovery design.

02

Product analytics

A separate choice using minimal event names and coarse counts. Raw VIN, Rego, receipts, notes and exact location must not be analytics properties.

03

Owner forum

Community identity and public posts remain separate from the private Garage. Sharing requires an explicit action and preview.

04

Marketplace

Payment and delivery data require their own purpose, retention and disclosure and must not be combined with private Garage history for advertising.

Privacy standard

Collect less. Explain it. Delete it when it no longer has a purpose.

OAIC guidance supports relevant, minimal collection and destruction or de-identification when information is no longer needed.

Release status and accountability

This is the accurate Drilore 1.1 product boundary, not the final legal privacy policy. Before general release Drilore must publish the operating entity, privacy contact, providers, data regions, retention periods, complaint path and market-specific rights.
