Privacy Policy

AutoGauge AI Last Updated: October 5, 2026

Introduction

AutoGauge AI ("we," "our," or "us") operates the AutoGauge mobile application on iOS and Android, the AutoGauge Chrome extension, and related websites (together, the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information.

By using AutoGauge, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create or sign in to an account, we may collect:

Email address
Password (securely hashed; never stored in plain text), if you use email sign-up
Name and profile information provided by Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, if you choose those options
Account identifiers used to keep your scans, garage, and subscription status in sync

Car Scan Data

When you scan a listing or upload photos, we collect:

Listing URLs you submit, paste, or share into the App
Listing content we retrieve from a link you submit, such as title, price, mileage, description, photos, location text, and a VIN if the listing includes one
Photos you take or select
Car details you enter or that we read from the listing, such as year, make, model, mileage, and asking price
Scan results including valuations, flip scores, condition notes, and similar outputs

We use this to run the analysis and to show your scan history.

Chrome Extension

When you use the AutoGauge Chrome extension on facebook.com, it reads the Marketplace listing you have open — title, price, mileage, photos, and the listing URL — so the side panel can show the car and run a scan. It does not read your Facebook messages, friends list, or other Facebook activity. That listing data is sent to our servers only when you start a scan, the same as pasting a URL in the mobile app.

Garage

If you use Garage, we store the vehicles you add, mileage you enter, maintenance logs, and reminder settings so we can show service timing and related alerts.

Location

If you allow location access, we may use your approximate location to improve region-based valuations. A listing you scan may also include a location written on that listing. You can deny or revoke device location in your settings. The App can still work without it, with less location-specific pricing context.

Device and App Permissions

Depending on how you use the App, we may access:

Camera and photo library (to capture or select car photos)
Push notification tokens (to send scan-ready and product messages if you allow notifications)
Clipboard or shared content when you paste or share a listing link into the App

Usage Analytics

We collect product analytics such as:

Screens visited and feature usage
When you start or complete a scan
Paywall, trial, and purchase funnel events
General app performance and engagement patterns

We use this to improve the App. Analytics are tied to an app identifier and may be linked to your account if you are signed in.

Advertising, Attribution, and Tracking

To measure ads and improve marketing (including Meta / Facebook campaigns), we use the Meta (Facebook) SDK and related tools. Depending on your device and permissions, this may involve:

App events (for example app opens, registration, content views, checkout starts, purchases, and trial starts)
Advertising identifiers such as Apple’s IDFA (iOS) or Google’s Advertising ID (Android)
SKAdNetwork and similar privacy-preserving attribution on iOS when tracking permission is declined
On iOS, we request permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt before using the IDFA for tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies

You can reset or limit advertising identifiers and tracking in your device settings. Declining tracking does not block core App features. Meta may still receive limited aggregated or SKAdNetwork signals.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Sending advertising identifiers and app events to Meta for campaign measurement can be treated as "sharing" under California law. You can opt out by declining the iOS tracking prompt, limiting your advertising ID, or emailing us.

Subscription and Purchase Information

If you buy a subscription or a one-time scan pack:

On iOS and Android, payments are processed by Apple (App Store) and/or Google (Google Play)
In the Chrome extension, card checkout is processed by Stripe through RevenueCat Web Billing
We do not collect or store your full card number or full billing address
We receive subscription and purchase status from Apple, Google, Stripe, RevenueCat, and our other payment processors so we can unlock features, trials, and scan credits

Error and Diagnostics

We use crash and error reporting to collect technical logs, device type, OS version, and stack traces so we can fix bugs. These reports are used for reliability, not advertising.

Information From Third Parties

We may receive:

Auth profile data from Apple or Google when you sign in with those providers
Subscription and purchase status from Apple, Google, Stripe, and RevenueCat
Aggregated ad campaign performance data from Meta and similar partners
Safety and recall information from public sources such as NHTSA, matched to the vehicle in a scan

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Provide car analysis, valuations, flip scores, garage tools, and related features
Maintain your account, scan history, garage, and scan credits
Process and validate subscriptions, free trials, and one-time purchases
Send push notifications you have allowed (for example when a scan finishes, or a garage reminder)
Measure app performance and improve the product
Attribute installs and in-app events to advertising campaigns (including Meta)
Detect abuse, fraud, and technical issues
Provide customer support and comply with law

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We share information with service providers that help us operate the App, only as needed for their services. These include:

Supabase for account authentication
Cloud hosting for the App and its database
Cloudflare for stored scan photos
Google for AI analysis of listings and photos you submit
Listing-retrieval providers that load a Marketplace page you ask us to scan
Apple, Google Play, Stripe, and RevenueCat for subscriptions, trials, and purchases
PostHog for product analytics
Sentry for crash and error diagnostics
Meta for advertising measurement, as described above
Expo to deliver push notifications you allow

Those providers may use the information only to perform services for us, except Meta, which uses advertising data under its own terms when you allow tracking.

Photos and listing content you submit are sent to our AI and listing-retrieval providers to generate results. We do not sell your photos.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice where required).

Advertising Choices

iOS: Use the system prompt and Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking (and Apple Advertising settings) to control tracking and personalized ads.
Android: Reset or delete your Advertising ID in Google settings, and limit ad personalization in your Google account.
Meta: You can manage ad preferences in your Facebook / Meta account settings.
Email: You can also opt out of advertising measurement tied to your account by emailing support@autogaugeai.com.

Turning off tracking or resetting advertising IDs may reduce how well we can measure ads. The App’s core features remain available.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate. We use HTTPS/TLS in transit and authenticate API requests. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Data Retention

Account data is kept until you delete your account.
Scan reports are kept so you can reopen them and so a completed scan still counts toward any plan or trial allowance. Removing a scan from history on your device hides it there. It does not, by itself, delete the report from our servers.
Photos from Facebook link scans are deleted within about 30 days after the scan. The written report can remain.
Photos you upload for a photo scan are kept until the scan report is deleted or our cleanup removes files that are no longer tied to an account.
Garage records are kept until you delete the vehicle or your account.
Purchase and entitlement records are kept as needed for accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
Analytics and advertising event data are kept according to our providers’ practices and our operational needs, typically up to 12–24 months for product analytics.
Push tokens are removed when you delete your account, or when you turn notifications off and the token is cleared.
Backups and logs may keep a copy for a limited time after deletion, then are deleted or overwritten.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, including California, you may have the right to know, correct, or delete personal information, and to opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context advertising.

In the App you can:

View scan history and account details
Clear scan history on that device (Settings). This does not delete the server copy.
Delete your account (Settings → Delete Account), which deletes the account, scan reports, garage records, and push tokens we store in our database

You can also email support@autogaugeai.com or use autogaugeai.com/delete-account. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, Google, or Stripe. Deleting your AutoGauge account does not automatically cancel a store or web subscription.

Children’s Privacy

AutoGauge is not intended for anyone under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

International Users

We may process and store information in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate. By using the App, you understand your information may be transferred to those locations.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy and change the “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be noted in the App or on our website. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated policy.
