Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 27, 2026

Short version: LastDrive runs entirely on your phone. We don't operate servers, we don't have accounts, and we don't collect, transmit, sell, or share your data with anyone. Your garage stays in your garage.

What LastDrive Stores

LastDrive stores the information you enter — vehicles, drives, maintenance records, fuel logs, photos, documents, checklists, and notes — locally on your device. On iOS we use Apple's SwiftData framework; on Android we use Google's Room database. In both cases, the data lives in the app's private storage.

If you enable cloud sync, your data is also stored in your personal cloud account so it can sync between your own devices. On iOS this is iCloud; on Android this happens through Google's Auto Backup to your Google Drive. Your cloud data is encrypted by Apple or Google respectively and is only accessible by you. We do not have access to it.

Information We Do Not Collect

LastDrive does not collect, transmit, or have access to:

System Permissions

iOS will ask your permission before LastDrive can access certain device features. Each is used only on your device — nothing is sent anywhere:

Camera

Used for VIN plate scanning (iOS only) and for taking photos of vehicles, drives, maintenance invoices, and startup procedures. Photos are stored only inside the app's local database (and your cloud sync, if enabled).

Photo Library

Used so you can attach existing photos to vehicles and records. LastDrive only reads photos you specifically select.

Location Services

Used by the GPS speedometer to calculate your speed, and optionally to attach a location to drive logs. Location data is processed in real time on your device and is not stored, transmitted, or shared.

Motion & Orientation

Used by the HUD-style speedometer for orientation handling.

Children's Privacy

LastDrive is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Third Parties

LastDrive does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. The app may use the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) public VIN-decode API for VIN lookups; only the VIN itself is sent to NHTSA, and no personal information is included.

Data Deletion

Because all your data lives on your device (and optionally in your own iCloud or Google Drive), you can permanently delete it at any time by removing items inside the app, or by deleting the app entirely. Uninstalling LastDrive removes the local database. Disabling cloud sync and removing the app's cloud data through your device's settings (iOS Settings or Android Settings) removes the cloud copy.

Changes To This Policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and post the revised version at this URL. Substantive changes will be highlighted in a future app update's release notes.
