Where you park stays between you and your phone.

1. Data stored only on your device

Wheria does not operate servers that collect or store user data. All app state is kept locally in your device’s sandboxed storage:

• Parking locations — outdoor GPS pins, relative barometric floor estimates, and indoor walk paths.
• Vehicles & items — nicknames, vehicle types, colors, and license plates you add to your Garage.
• Spot photos, notes & voice memos — any column photo, text note, or 30-second audio clip attached to a parking spot.
• Parking history — records of your past spots so you can review them later.

We never collect names, email addresses, account identifiers, advertising IDs, or usage telemetry.

2. How that information is used

Everything stays on-device and is used strictly to make the app function:

• To save your spot and guide you back to it outdoors or underground.
• To estimate floor changes from barometric pressure and steps when GPS is unavailable.
• To scan bay codes or parking restriction times from photos locally on your phone.
• To fire local reminders before a parking timer or street-cleaning window starts.

3. Permissions we request

Wheria asks for each permission only when you use a feature that needs it, and you can revoke any permission in your phone’s settings at any time:

• Location: drops your outdoor pin and re-anchors you on return. Used in the background only if you enable automatic parking detection.
• Motion & Physical Activity: counts steps, detects when you leave a vehicle, and tracks relative floor changes.
• Camera & Microphone: takes optional spot photos, powers the AR walk-back view, runs on-device OCR on pillar/street signs, or records a 30-second voice memo.
• Notifications: delivers parking reminders and optional auto-parked alerts.
• Bluetooth (Android): optional permission to detect when your phone disconnects from your car’s Bluetooth.

4. Third-party services

Wheria includes no ad networks and no analytics SDKs. The app interacts with platform services only in these narrow cases:

• Purchases: subscriptions and the lifetime upgrade are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play Billing. We never see your payment card or billing details.
• Maps: outdoor maps and walking directions rely on Apple MapKit (iOS) or Google Maps (Android), subject to Apple’s and Google’s privacy policies.
• On-device OCR (Android): photo text scanning uses Google ML Kit running locally on your phone. Photos are never uploaded by Wheria (ML Kit may send aggregated diagnostics to Google per Google’s privacy policy). On iOS, OCR runs purely through Apple’s on-device Vision framework.

5. Your choices & controls

Because your data lives solely on your phone, you control it directly inside Settings:

• Export my data: save your own personal copy anytime.
• Clear parking history: wipe past parking logs.
• Delete all my data: permanently erase every vehicle, spot, photo, and voice memo in one tap, or simply uninstall the app.
