Privacy

Effective October 22, 2026. This notice covers CarManager.ai and the CarManager mobile app, published by Starling Global Corp. Contact [email protected] for support or privacy requests.

Your garage and information you provide

We store your account name, email, securely hashed password, optional ZIP code and unit preferences, and the vehicles, VINs, service and expense records, reminders, photos, receipts and documents you enter or upload. Your garage is private to your account and is not indexed by search engines. Authorized administrators may access information needed to operate the service, investigate abuse or assist with an account.

Sharing and the marketplace

Owner-history links and listings you choose to publish can be seen by others, and you can revoke or remove them. Marketplace messages, inquiries, saved listings, reports and blocks are stored to operate those features and moderate abuse. A listing or message may disclose information you choose to include. Do not post private documents or another person’s contact details. CarManager does not process vehicle-sale payments.

Device permissions and local data

The camera can scan a VIN barcode or photograph your vehicle and documents. Photo and file pickers let you select attachments; selected uploads are stored with the relevant record. Optional notifications support reminders. The app stores session credentials, preferences, cached records and drafts on your device. You can revoke permissions in device settings and sign out to clear account caches.

Website analytics and operational logs

The website uses first-party analytics to count page views and tool use. It records the page, referrer, device type and country, plus a random visitor ID stored in your browser. These events do not include VINs, email addresses or garage contents. Hosting and security logs may contain IP addresses, request paths, times and technical errors for reliability and abuse prevention. Data is transmitted over HTTPS.

Lookups and external services

VIN and vehicle-safety lookups use public NHTSA services. Lookup inputs needed to answer your request may be sent to those services. Public research results may be cached; private garage records are not published with them. Links to outside websites open services with their own privacy terms.

Mobile software updates

Expo delivers compatible software updates and processes technical information such as operating-system, app and update versions, a random installation token, update status, IP address and crash or diagnostic information. This supports delivery and troubleshooting. We do not send your garage contents, uploaded documents or marketplace messages to Expo as update telemetry. We do not sell personal information or use it for cross-app advertising tracking.

Account deletion and retention

Open Account settings in the app or on the website and select Delete account. After password confirmation, deletion removes your account, vehicles, records, uploads, marketplace listings, messages, share links and active sessions from the live service. Limited moderation or audit records and protected recovery backups may remain where needed for security, disputes or legal obligations. Backups are restricted from ordinary use; deletion requests must be reapplied if a backup is restored.

For deletion without the app, see Delete your CarManager account. If you cannot sign in, email [email protected] from your account email. We verify ownership before acting; never send your password.

Your choices

You can edit account details, delete individual records, revoke shared links, remove listings, block users and report content. Email publisher support to request access, correction or deletion. CarManager is intended for adults managing vehicles and is not directed to children under 18. Changes to this notice will be published here with an updated effective date.
