myCarConnect privacy policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

myCarConnect has two apps: myCarConnect on your phone and myCarConnect Car on your car screen. The phone app is the brain; the car screen shows its map, audio, OBD readings and more over your own Wi-Fi. This page says what they use, why, and where it goes.

Using the apps without an account

You can use everything without logging in. Then your settings, trips, favourite places and audio history stay only on your phone, and nothing about you is sent to us.

Your account (optional)

If you log in, we keep these on our server (host4data.cloud) so they come back on any phone:

• Your name, email address and mobile number, which you give us.
• Your app settings, favourite places, playlists and audio history.
• Your Dropbox sign-in (a token from Dropbox, never your Dropbox password), if you connect Dropbox.
• Your recorded trips: their path, distance, times and any notes you add.

The login code is sent to your email address. We use your email only for login codes, never for marketing.

Location

The phone app uses your location to show where you are, give turn-by-turn directions and record trips. If you turn on trips without the car, it also uses your location and physical activity in the background to notice when you start driving. Your location goes to your car screen over your own Wi-Fi, and is kept in your trips. It goes to our server only inside your trips, and only if you are logged in.

Other permissions

• Audio files: to play your audio.
• Phone state and notifications: to show an incoming call or message on your car screen. Their content is shown on the car only and is not kept.
• Microphone and screen capture: only when you turn on Phone sound or Mirror Screen, to send this phone's sound or screen to your car screen over Wi-Fi. Nothing is recorded or kept.
• Bluetooth: to read your car's OBD adapter. The readings stay on your phone and car screen.

Services the apps talk to

• OpenStreetMap map tiles, and Nominatim and Photon place search: they receive the map area or the place you search for.
• OSRM route servers: they receive the start and end of your route.
• Dropbox, only if you connect it: to list and play your own audio files.

These services have their own privacy policies. We do not send them your name, email or account.

What we never do

We do not sell or share your data, show ads, or use analytics or tracking.

Keeping it safe

Everything sent to our server goes over HTTPS. Your car screen only connects to your phone with the pairing PIN shown in the phone app.

Deleting your data

In the phone app, tap your name at the top, then Edit, then Delete account. Or use this web page. Your account and everything kept with it on our server are deleted at once. Logging out keeps your account but removes its data from that phone.

Children

The apps are made for drivers and are not meant for children under 13.
