1. Who we are
Data controller: CAPSILON BROTHERS SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ, operator of the TachoAngel app, with registered office at ul. Mikołaja Reja 18 / 34, 43-300 Bielsko-Biała, Poland

This policy explains how TachoAngel (“App”, “we”) processes information when you use our Android application to work with smart tachographs, driver cards, and related driving-time data.
2. Summary
TachoAngel requires Google Sign-In (Firebase Authentication) to use the App. It processes tachograph and driver-related data primarily on your device, connects to tachographs via Bluetooth, optionally reads driver cards via USB, uses optional Google Play Activity Recognition to detect entering a vehicle and attempt auto-connect, uses Google ML Kit on-device OCR for optional CMR document scanning, and shows local notifications for driving-time alerts when permitted. The current App version does not include ads, Firebase Analytics, or Crashlytics, does not send tachograph or driver card data to a developer-operated backend, and has Android backup disabled.

3. Account and identity data (Firebase / Google Sign-In)
When you sign in with Google, we process via Firebase Authentication: email address for account identification, Firebase UID for account identification, display name for optional profile display, and profile photo URL for optional profile display. Legal basis (EEA): contract / legitimate interest for providing the App. Retention: until you delete your account or contact us for deletion. Deletion: Settings → Delete account, or https://tachoangel.app/account-deletion

4. Tachograph and driving data (on-device)
The App may process driving/rest times and activity state from BLE tachograph reads, Bluetooth device name and MAC for pairing and reconnect, driver name, card number, licence, and country from USB card parser / DDD, DDD driver card files from USB or BLE download, CMR photos / OCR text from camera and ML Kit, and alert / message history from local notifications. Most of this data does not leave your device unless you choose to share or export it, such as through the Android share sheet for a .ddd file.

5. Physical activity (Activity Recognition)
With your permission, the App uses Google Play services Activity Recognition to detect IN_VEHICLE entry and start a short Bluetooth scan to connect to your saved tachograph. Data involved: activity transition signals processed by Google Play services on the device. You can revoke permission in Android system settings.
