AutoPulse Privacy Policy

English version prepared November 11, 2026, from the application's existing privacy disclosures.

AutoPulse is a vehicle diagnostics application. Some information is sent to our backend and third-party services to create reports, provide AI-assisted explanations, authenticate users, and investigate connection problems.

Information used by the application

• Vehicle diagnostics: sensor readings, trouble codes, vehicle details, and check-up or drive results may be sent to our backend to generate and store reports.
• VIN: the app may read and display a vehicle identification number. Existing application disclosures describe truncating VIN information for backend analytics and AI processing rather than sending a complete VIN to the AI service.
• Adapter and connection information: adapter identifiers, characteristics, and raw Bluetooth communication logs may be uploaded to investigate compatibility and connection failures.
• Account and device information: email, Firebase authentication identifiers, and a device UUID are used for authentication and to associate diagnostic sessions and reports.
• Location: trip recording may use GPS coordinates, speed, and distance when you start that feature and grant the relevant permissions.
• Usage analytics: the application uses AppMetrica for usage and reliability metrics, including sessions and crashes.

Services that receive information

• Our backend at auto-pulse-me.ru, hosted in Russia, processes and stores diagnostic reports and related data.
• DeepSeek processes vehicle diagnostic information to provide AI-assisted explanations.
• Firebase / Google provide authentication and related technical infrastructure. Google Play Services supports Google sign-in on Android.
• AppMetrica (Yandex) processes application usage and reliability analytics.
• Telegram / MAX may receive reports or notifications when the relevant delivery or notification feature is enabled with your consent. Existing application disclosures also describe administrator notifications.
• Apple's iTunes Lookup API and the RuStore public API are used to check for application updates.

Storage, choices, and deletion

Diagnostic reports and associated data are stored on our backend. Authentication credentials are stored using the platform's secure storage. You can control Bluetooth and location permissions in your device settings and revoke optional report-notification consent in the app's settings.

Use the account-deletion control in Profile where available, or contact support to request account deletion, deletion of related data, or a copy of your information. Earlier disclosures note that the deletion feature is being improved; contact support if the in-app request does not complete.

Children

The application is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
