1 Introduction
My Car Trip ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is developed and operated by Seven Infosystem. My Car Trip helps travel agents and drivers manage car trips, booking requirements, vehicle maintenance, expenses, and a points/wallet system. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our mobile application.
By downloading, installing, or using My Car Trip, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the App.
2 Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
- Account & profile details — name, phone number, email address, and business/driver details provided during registration or profile setup.
- Trip & booking data — car trip requirements, booking details, expenses, and maintenance records you enter into the App.
- Documents & photos — images of vehicles and supporting documents you choose to capture or upload.
2.2 Contacts
With your permission, the App accesses your device contacts to help you link trip transactions to people you know and track debit/credit amounts for efficient payment management. Contact data is used solely within the App for this purpose and is not sold or used for advertising.
2.3 Camera & Photo Library
With your permission, the App accesses your camera and photo library so you can capture or upload photos of vehicles and related documents.
2.4 Automatically Collected Information
- Device & push notification data — a device/FCM token used to deliver trip and booking notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Technical data — device model, operating system version, app version, and general usage information used for app configuration and troubleshooting.
3 App Permissions
My Car Trip requests the following device permissions. Each is optional and only used for the purpose described — you may deny or later revoke any of them from your device settings, though some app features may then be unavailable.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Camera | Capture photos of vehicles and documents directly within the App. |
| Photo Library | Upload existing vehicle and document photos from your device. |
| Contacts (read & write) | Link trip transactions to contacts and track debit/credit balances. |
| Notifications | Deliver trip, booking, and requirement alerts in real time. |
| Internet | Communicate with our secure backend servers to sync your data. |
4 How We Use Your Data
- To create and manage your account and authenticate you securely.
- To enable core features such as trip management, booking requirements, expenses, and maintenance tracking.
- To send push notifications about bookings, requirements, and important updates.
- To link transactions to your contacts for payment/wallet tracking, at your request.
- To maintain and improve app performance, reliability, and security.

5 Third-Party Services
My Car Trip relies on the following trusted third-party services to operate. These providers may process limited technical data as necessary to deliver their service, under their own privacy policies.
Firebase (by Google) is used for push notifications and remote app configuration. You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
Share features (e.g., sharing content via WhatsApp or other apps) simply hand off content to apps already installed on your device at your request; My Car Trip does not access the content of those apps.
7 Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
8 Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards — including encrypted network communication (HTTPS), authenticated API access, and restricted internal access — to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9 Your Rights & Choices
- Access & correction — you may review and update your profile information directly within the App.
- Permission control — you can grant or revoke Camera, Photo, Contacts, and Notification permissions at any time via your device settings.
- Deletion — you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at the email below.
- Notification opt-out — you can disable push notifications from your device's notification settings.
10 Children's Privacy
My Car Trip is intended for use by travel agents and drivers and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.
11 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page, and where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
