Privacy Policy
ModGarage lets you modify a photo of your own car with AI. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and where it goes. ModGarage does not require an account, does not show ads, and does not sell your data.
1. Your car photos and generated images
- Stored on your device and, if iCloud is enabled on your iPhone, in your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit) so your garage syncs across your devices. We cannot read your private iCloud data.
- Sent to an AI provider only when you tap Modify. The photo you selected and a text description of your choices are sent to fal.ai, which generates the modified image and returns it. We do not run our own image servers and do not keep copies of your photos. fal.ai processes the image to produce the result under its own privacy policy.
- You delete photos and builds inside the app at any time; deleting the app removes local data, and removing the app's iCloud data removes the synced copy.
2. Analytics and crash reports
The app uses Google Firebase services:
- Firebase Analytics: anonymous usage events (for example which screens are opened and whether a generation succeeded), device model, OS version, country and app version. This helps us improve the app.
- Firebase Crashlytics: crash logs and device state at the time of a crash.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging: a push token so we can send notifications you opted in to, such as news about new styles.
- Firebase Remote Config: feature flags and limits; no personal data is sent.
Firebase data is processed by Google under the Firebase Privacy and Security terms. ModGarage does not use the Apple advertising identifier and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
3. Purchases
Subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store. Apple handles payment, billing and refunds; we never see your card details. The app checks your subscription status with Apple to unlock Premium.
4. Permissions the app may ask for
- Camera and Photos: to add a photo of your car and to save results to your library. Access to your library is add-only.
- Notifications: to tell you when a generation finishes in the background and, if you opt in, about new styles.
- Live Activities: to show generation progress on the Lock Screen.
Every permission is optional and can be changed in iOS Settings.
5. Data retention
Your photos and builds stay until you delete them. Analytics and crash data are retained by Firebase for up to 14 months. fal.ai retains inputs only as long as needed to process the request, per its policy.
6. Children
ModGarage is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
7. Your rights
You can ask us to delete analytics data linked to your device or ask any question about this policy at erbalta80@gmail.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under GDPR, the UK GDPR, the CCPA or Türkiye's KVKK; we honour them on request.
8. Changes
We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date above.
