Privacy Policy
Drive Companion
TripleEdge Studio operates Drive Companion (package: com.tripleedgestudio.carplayforandroid). We do not sell your personal information.
1. Summary
- No account required. Preferences, favorite contacts, home/work destinations, and parking spots are stored on your device.
- Free users may see Google AdMob ads: a labeled banner fixed above the tab bar (not inside scrolling content) and occasional full-screen interstitials after natural actions such as saving a parking spot or finishing onboarding.
- We use Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) for ad consent where required.
- Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics collect anonymous usage and crash diagnostics.
- Optional one-time Premium purchase removes ads.
- Weather uses your approximate location sent to Open-Meteo (HTTPS). Parking location stays on your device.
2. Local data
Settings, Bluetooth car selection, media shortcuts, contacts you pick, and parking pins are kept in on-device storage (DataStore and app files). We do not upload this data to TripleEdge Studio servers.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
AdMob may use the Android advertising ID and device data to serve and measure ads, subject to your consent choices. Interstitials are limited per session with cooldowns; rewarded ads are available only when you choose to watch them in a future feature flow.
Publisher verification: app-ads.txt (pub-7250491053459839).
4. In-App Purchases
Optional one-time Premium (premium_lifetime) via Google Play removes ads. Google processes payment; we do not store card details.
