Privacy Policy

Overview

This policy explains how Buknal Enterprise LLC ("we," "us") handles information in the Carveny iPhone and iPad app ("the App") and on its companion website, app.carveny.com. It applies only to Carveny, not to other apps we publish.

You don't need an account to use Carveny. The only account is for the optional Carveny Online backup, and it uses Sign in with Apple, so we never ask for a password. We don't sell personal information and we don't use it for advertising.

Your vehicle records

Everything you log is stored on your device: your vehicles, service records, fill-ups, mileage readings, reminders, attached photos, and your preferences. A vehicle can include a VIN and a license plate if you add them. Both are optional, and we never receive them.

Trips and mileage tracking

Carveny can log your drives for mileage records, either automatically or by hand.

• Automatic trips are optional. If you turn on Auto Start, the App uses your location in the background, together with your phone's motion activity, to notice when you start and stop driving. Your precise route is recorded only during a drive.
• Trips you add by hand need no location access at all.

A saved trip includes its time, distance, where it started and ended, and its route, plus any category, purpose, or notes you add. Automatic sorting, such as marking drives during your work hours as business, happens on your device.

Trips are stored on your device and in your own iCloud if sync is on. They only reach us if you turn on Carveny Online. You can turn Auto Start off at any time in the App, or change location and motion access in Settings → Carveny.

Carveny Online

Carveny Online is an optional backup of your trips that comes with a Carveny Mileage subscription. It lets you restore your trips on a new phone and view, sort, and export them at app.carveny.com. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn it on and sign in.

What we keep. Your trips, including their locations and routes, along with your trip categories, mileage rates, saved places, and the names of your vehicles. For your account, we keep the email address Sign in with Apple gives us (which can be a private relay address if you choose Hide My Email), and whether your subscription is active.

What we never upload: fuel and service logs, photos, receipts, VINs, or license plates.

Why. Only to provide Carveny Online. We don't use your trips for advertising and we don't sell or share them. Your data is stored with our hosting providers in the United States. Maps on app.carveny.com come from Apple Maps.

How long.

• While your subscription is active, we keep your data until you delete it.
• If your subscription ends, backups stop and we delete your online data 12 months later. The App reminds you 30 days before.
• When you delete a trip or another item, we delete it from our servers straight away. Deleted data can remain in our provider's secure backups for up to 7 days.

Your choices. Sign out to stop backing up. Export your trips from app.carveny.com at any time. To delete your account and everything stored online, go to Trips → Trip Settings → Carveny Online → Delete Online Account in the App, or use the Account page on the website. Trips on your phone and in iCloud are not affected.

iCloud sync

If you are signed in to iCloud, the App syncs your records across your own devices through your private iCloud account. That data belongs to your Apple Account, not ours, and we have no access to it. Apple stores it under the Apple Privacy Policy. You can turn sync off at any time in Settings → [your name] → iCloud.

Camera and scanning

The App can use your camera to read a VIN, an odometer, or a gas receipt so you don't have to type them. Scanning happens on your device, including on devices with Apple Intelligence. The picture is not uploaded to us or anyone else. Camera access is optional, and you can always type the values instead.

Photos and receipts you attach

You can attach photos to a vehicle or an entry. The App only receives the images you pick. They are stored on your device and in your iCloud if sync is on, and they are never uploaded to us, even with Carveny Online.

Maps and place search

When you search for a place, ask for nearby gas stations, or the App names a place or works out a route for a trip, the request goes to Apple Maps. Apple handles it under the Apple Privacy Policy. These searches are not sent to us.

Reports and exports

You can export vehicle histories, a mileage log, and monthly mileage reports as PDF or CSV files. They are created on your device, and you decide where they go. A monthly report can be sent from your own email app to your employer or an expense service such as SAP Concur or Expensify. We don't see it, and once you send it, the recipient's own privacy terms apply.

Anonymous usage analytics

To learn which features people use and how to improve the App, it sends anonymous usage statistics to TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. These cover things like saving an entry or a trip, finishing onboarding, viewing an upgrade offer, and whether a purchase went through, along with basic details such as the App version and iOS version.

These statistics never include your records: no names, places, routes, mileage, amounts, photos, or account details. They are not linked to your identity and not used for tracking or advertising. TelemetryDeck processes them for us under its privacy policy.

Notifications

Service reminders and trip notifications are created on your device. Nothing about your vehicles or trips is sent anywhere to notify you. If you turn notifications off, reminders still appear inside the App.

Widgets, Siri, and Shortcuts

Widgets show records already on your device, so what is due next can appear on your Lock Screen. Logging with Siri or Shortcuts is handled by Apple, and anything you log that way is stored like any other entry.

Mileage rate updates

Once a day, the App checks our website for updated standard mileage rates, so your rates stay current without an app update. That check sends nothing about you or your trips.

Purchases

Carveny offers Carveny Pro, a one-time purchase, and Carveny Mileage, a subscription. Apple processes all payments, and we never see your name, card, or billing details. If you use Carveny Online, Apple tells us whether your subscription is active and when it ends, so we know your backup is included.

Contacting support

If you tap Contact Support or send feedback, the App opens an email to support@buknal.com in your mail app. It may include the App version and your device model to help us troubleshoot. Nothing is sent until you send it. We use your email only to answer you, and we don't add you to any mailing list.

What we don't do

• We don't show ads or track you across other companies' apps or websites.
• We don't sell or share your personal information.
• We don't upload your fuel and service logs, photos, receipts, VIN, or plate.
• We don't collect your location unless you turn on Auto Start, and it only reaches us if you also turn on Carveny Online.
• The App doesn't connect to your car and reads nothing from it.

Deleting your data

• Delete an entry, a trip, or a whole vehicle inside the App.
• Delete the App to remove everything it stored on that device. If sync is on, remove its iCloud data under Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.
• Delete your Carveny Online account in the App or on app.carveny.com to remove everything stored online.
• Your purchases stay with your Apple Account, so Restore unlocks them again after reinstalling.

Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request. Ask us and we'll delete them.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or move your personal information under laws such as the GDPR in Europe and the UK and the CCPA/CPRA in California. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define it.

Most Carveny Online data can be viewed, corrected, exported, and deleted directly on app.carveny.com. For anything else, email us and we'll respond within the time the law requires.

Children's privacy

Carveny is a tool for drivers and vehicle owners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Information on your device is protected by your passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID, and iCloud data is protected by Apple. Carveny Online data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each account can only ever see its own data. No system is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the App changes. If a future version collects new information, we will update this policy and the App Store privacy label before that version is released. The revised policy takes effect when posted here, with a new "Last updated" date above.
