Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Smart Drive ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This policy explains our stance on data collection and the steps we take to protect your privacy when you use our mobile application.

By downloading, accessing, or using Smart Drive, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

2. No Data Collection

All information you input into the app (such as vehicle registration details, fuel quotas, service history, maintenance logs, or scanned vehicle documents) is stored securely and exclusively on your local device.

We do not have access to your personal data, nor do we sync it to any external cloud platform or share it with any third parties.

3. App Permissions

To provide and improve our service, we may request the following device permissions for core features to work entirely on your device:

• Camera Access: Required strictly to scan QR codes and import vehicle documents. The images are processed locally and never uploaded.
• Storage & Media Library Access: Required to read images from your local storage and save vehicle documents or imported QR codes directly to your device.
• Notifications: Required to provide you with smart reminders about fuel eligibility, upcoming vehicle services, and document expiry alerts.
• Internet Access: Required to fetch real-time public fuel prices and vehicle quotas from our backend services. We do not track your browsing history.
• Biometric Authentication (Face ID/Touch ID): Required to secure the app's access. Biometric data never leaves your device and is not collected by us.

4. Third-Party Interactions

Fuel Pass SL is designed to be as independent as possible. Our interactions with third-party services are limited to the following:

Government Portal Integration (fuelpass.gov.lk)

The app provides a direct interface to the official government portal to facilitate QR code retrieval. When you log in to this portal via the in-app browser:

• No Credential Capture: We do not capture, see, or store your phone number, OTP, or any other credentials entered into the government site.
• Local Storage: Only the resulting QR image is captured and stored locally on your device for your convenience.
• This interaction is handled directly between your device and the government servers.

No Advertising

Smart Drive is 100% ad-free. We do not use any advertising networks (such as Google AdMob), tracking scripts, or analytics to monitor your behavior or serve advertisements. Your experience remains private and uninterrupted.

(Note: If our app connects to a backend service like Supabase, it is strictly to fetch public data such as current fuel prices, and is not used to collect user-identifiable data).

5. Data Security

Because your data is stored exclusively on your device, you are entirely in control of its safety.

• You can delete all your data at any time simply by clearing the app's cache/data in your device settings or by uninstalling the application.

Please note: Since we do not store your data on any server, we cannot recover your data if you lose your phone or uninstall the app.

6. Children's Privacy

Our application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children because we do not collect personal data from anyone.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on your device or via updating the app. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
