Carbix privacy policy

What Carbix collects

• Photos of cars. When you tap Catch or upload a photo, that one photo is sent to our server so an AI model can work out the make and model. It is not kept after the answer is returned, and it is never used for advertising.
• Your garage and profile (cars you caught, XP, streak, spotter name) are stored on your phone. If you link your account, a copy is stored on our server so you can move to another device.
• Location (optional). If you allow it, the place you spotted a car is saved with that catch on your phone, for your own map. It is not sent to other players.
• Public leaderboard data. Your spotter name, XP, level and the list of cars you have caught (not photos, not locations) are visible to other players on the leaderboard, in friend duels and clubs.
• Live sessions and races. If you join one, the cars you catch (with the photo you scanned) are shown to the people holding the same code.

What we do not do

We do not sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.

Blocking and reporting

You can block any spotter from the feed or leaderboard, and report a name or post. Reports are sent to the developer by email.

Your choices

You can deny camera, photo and location access in iOS Settings and still use the app. In Settings › Your Data you can export a backup or delete all data stored on your phone. To have a linked cloud save removed, contact the developer at the address on the App Store page.

Children

Carbix is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
