Overview
PistonWorks is designed with your privacy in mind. We believe your vehicle maintenance data should stay yours, on your device.
Data Storage
All vehicle and maintenance records you create in PistonWorks are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Your data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers.
What We Don't Collect
- We do not collect any personal information
- We do not track your usage or behavior
- We do not use analytics or tracking services
- We do not share any data with third parties
- We do not have access to your vehicle or maintenance records
In-App Purchases
PistonWorks offers an in-app purchase to unlock unlimited vehicle tracking. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Apple may collect and process payment data according to their own privacy policy.
We only store a simple flag on your device indicating whether you have purchased the unlimited vehicles feature. This is stored locally in your device's UserDefaults.
Local Notifications
PistonWorks can send you maintenance reminders if you choose to enable them. These notifications are scheduled and managed entirely on your device by iOS. No data is sent to remote servers for notification purposes.
iCloud Sync (Future Feature)
Currently, PistonWorks does not sync your data. If we add iCloud sync in the future, it will be opt-in and your data will only sync between your own devices via Apple's iCloud service, subject to Apple's privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
PistonWorks does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.
Data Security
Since all your data is stored locally on your device, it is protected by your device's security features (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, etc.). We recommend keeping your device secure and backing up your data through iTunes or iCloud backups.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact us through the App Store.
