Privacy Policy for
Car Camera DVR

This Privacy Policy governs your use of the Car Camera DVR – Dashcam Android application ("App", "Service") created and developed by AppAspect Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (also referred to as "Guru Info Media", "we", "us", or "our"). The App is available on the Google Play Store and turns your Android smartphone or tablet into a powerful car DVR recorder and GPS blackbox — with no additional hardware required.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use the App.

Car Camera DVR declares the following permissions in its Android Manifest. Each permission is used only for the stated purpose. You may revoke any permission at any time via your device's App Settings.

The table below summarises every category of data the App may collect on Android, why it is collected, and whether it is linked to your identity:

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it — primarily when creating a User Profile to access cloud backup and cross-device sync.

When you create a profile, we collect:

• →Display name – used to personalise your in-app experience.
• →Email address – used for account authentication and service communications.
• →Cloud-stored videos – recordings uploaded by your explicit action for secure backup.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Personal data collected for cloud services is processed solely to deliver those features to you.

The App automatically collects non-personal information that cannot directly identify you. This is used to improve performance, serve relevant advertisements, and analyse feature usage.

On Android, non-personal information collected may include:

• GPS coordinates, heading, and speed (anonymously logged for blackbox overlay).
• IP address used to connect your device to the internet.
• Device brand, model, Android OS version, device language, and unique identifiers (GAID, Android ID).
• Mobile network information including IMSI, MNC (carrier code — Android only), carrier name, and signal strength.
• App usage patterns, session length, features accessed, and recording statistics.
• ANR (Application Not Responding) reports and crash logs via Firebase Crashlytics.
• Wi-Fi network details (SSID, BSSID, internal MAC address) for network quality reporting.

Car Camera DVR's core function is continuous video recording. The App accesses your device camera and (optionally) microphone exclusively for the following purposes:

• Front & Rear Camera Recording – Captures driving footage in your selected resolution (up to 1920×1080 / 1080p) and frame rate (15–30 FPS).
• Dual-Camera Mode – Records simultaneously from both cameras when enabled in settings.
• Background Recording – On Android, the App can continue recording even when switched to the background, using a foreground service with a persistent notification to keep the process alive.
• HUD / Windshield Mode – Uses the front camera to display a mirrored view suitable for projection onto the windshield.
• Audio Recording – When enabled, captures ambient in-car audio alongside video. You may disable this at any time in the App settings.
• Video Trim & Share – Accesses stored recordings for trimming and exporting clips to other apps or services.

All recorded footage is saved locally on your device by default and is never automatically uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly activate Cloud Video Backup via your User Profile.

Car Camera DVR uses your Android device's GPS to power its speed-tracking and blackbox features:

• Display real-time speed (KM/H or MPH) as an overlay on recorded video.
• Display live GPS coordinates on video for journey documentation.
• Trigger Speed Alerts — a notification when your speed exceeds a user-configured threshold.
• Log journey data as part of the GPS blackbox record for potential use as evidence in incidents.
• Provide anonymised location data to Opensignal and Huq for network quality measurement (see Section 12).

GPS and speed data used for video overlay is stored locally on your device. Only the anonymised data shared with Opensignal and Huq (described in Section 12) leaves your device.

Car Camera DVR stores recorded video files on your device. The way storage is accessed depends on your Android version:

Recorded videos are saved to the App's designated folder on your device storage. You can manage, view, and delete all recordings directly within the Video History screen of the App. The App does not access any media files outside its own recordings.

Premium subscribers can activate Cloud Video Backup to securely upload recorded videos to our cloud infrastructure — ensuring footage is preserved even if your device is lost, reset, or replaced.

When you use cloud features, the following applies:

• Account Creation: You create a User Profile with an email address and display name. This data is stored securely and linked to your cloud content.
• Video Uploads: Videos are uploaded only when you explicitly trigger backup. Wi-Fi is recommended for large files to avoid excess mobile data usage.
• Cross-Device Access: Uploaded videos are accessible from any Android (or iOS) device where you sign into your account.
• Data Retention: Cloud videos remain in your account until you delete them or cancel your subscription (see Section 14).
• Encryption: All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Cloud-stored content is encrypted at rest.

The free version of Car Camera DVR displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob requires internet access and may collect device information to serve contextually relevant ads.

On Android, AdMob may collect:

• Google Advertising ID (GAID) — a resettable, user-level identifier used for ad personalisation and frequency capping.
• Device model, OS version, screen resolution, and language.
• App usage signals for ad targeting.
• Ad impression and click events.

Premium subscribers enjoy a completely ad-free experience. Upgrading to any paid plan removes all AdMob advertisements from the App.

For full details on how Google AdMob handles data, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

We use Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand App usage and fix stability issues. These services collect no user-identifiable information.

Firebase Analytics collects on Android:

• App events (e.g., recording started, settings changed, feature used).
• Session duration, screen view data, and app version.
• Device model, Android OS version, and device language.
• General region (not precise GPS location).
• App instance ID (a non-personal, per-install identifier).

Firebase Crashlytics collects on Android:

• Crash stack traces and ANR (Application Not Responding) reports.
• Device state at the time of the crash (available memory, foreground/background state).
• Android version and device model at time of crash.

All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised. By using the App, you accept Google's use of Analytics per the Google Firebase Analytics Terms.

Car Camera DVR integrates trusted third-party SDKs and APIs on Android. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies for full details.

Car Camera DVR is free to download and use on Android. Optional Premium Access unlocks Cloud Video Backup, an ad-free experience, and priority support. The following plans are available via Google Play:

We do not have access to your payment card information. All billing is handled securely by Google Play Billing. Prices may vary by region and are subject to applicable local taxes.

We retain data only for as long as necessary to deliver the services described in this policy.

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

• HTTPS / TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Encryption at rest for cloud-stored video content and user account data.
• Android Keystore — sensitive tokens and credentials stored on-device use Android's hardware-backed Keystore where available.
• Scoped Storage — on Android 10+, the App uses scoped storage, preventing other apps from accessing your recorded videos without explicit permission.
• Access controls restricting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.

Car Camera DVR is a driving utility application. The cloud backup and user profile features — which involve collection of personal information — are not intended for or directed at children under 13 years of age (or the relevant age of digital consent in their jurisdiction).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at the address in Section 19 and we will promptly delete that information.

The App's core recording and GPS features do not require account creation and therefore do not involve collection of personal data. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise children's device usage accordingly.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any right, contact us using the details in Section 19.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's features, legal requirements, or our data practices. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this page and, where required, notify you via an in-app notice or email (if you have a registered account).

Changes will be posted on this page and take effect immediately upon posting unless a later date is specified. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your data, please reach out to us.

For subscription and billing issues, you may also contact Google Play Support. For data deletion requests, email us with the subject line "Data Deletion Request – Car Camera DVR Android".
