Privacy Policy

Introduction

Area 51 Car Collection and Valuation ("we", "us", or "the app") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

• Account Information: Your name and email address, used to create and manage your account.
• Collection Data: Vehicle makes, models, valuations, and notes you choose to save to your personal collection.
• Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about how you interact with the app, to help us improve the experience.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide vehicle valuation and collection management features.
• To authenticate your account and secure your data.
• To respond to car value requests and service enquiries you submit.
• To improve our pricing data, charts, and overall app functionality.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Your saved collection and valuation data is private to your account. We may share anonymous, aggregated usage statistics with analytics providers to help us understand app performance. If you submit a request (e.g. to sell, store, move, or find parts for a vehicle), the details you provide will be shared with our admin team solely to fulfil that request.

Data Retention & Deletion

Your collection and valuation data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may delete individual entries at any time from within the app. To permanently delete your account and all associated data, use the "Delete Account" option available in the app sidebar. This action cannot be undone.

Third-Party Services

The app uses third-party services for authentication, data storage, and payment processing (where applicable). These providers have their own privacy policies governing the use of your data. We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the app with an updated revision date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Contact Us

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact our admin team through the in-app "Request Car Value" feature or by the contact details provided in the App Store listing.
