SmartAutoConnect — Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 3, 2026 • Product of SMVenture

Google Play Compliant

1. Overview & Architecture

SMVenture ("we", "our", or "us") operates the SmartAutoConnect application. SmartAutoConnect is engineered with an offline-first, peer-to-peer architecture. Communication between your Android smartphone and in-car infotainment head unit occurs strictly over local Bluetooth RFCOMM sockets.

✓ Zero Cloud Uploads: SmartAutoConnect does not upload your automotive commands, media playback titles, or navigation waypoints to external cloud servers. All telemetry is processed directly on your devices.

2. Device Permissions Required

To establish and maintain a persistent connection with automotive hardware, SmartAutoConnect requests:

Bluetooth Permissions (Scan, Connect, Advertise)

Permissions: BLUETOOTH_SCAN, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE.
Usage: Discovers nearby car Bluetooth adapters, negotiates serial RFCOMM sockets, and transmits controls between phone and dashboard display.

Foreground Service Permission

Permission: FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE.
Usage: Ensures the Bluetooth data socket remains uninterrupted while driving, even when the phone screen is locked or navigation apps are in the background. A persistent notification is displayed while the service is active.

Media Playback & Notification Listener (Optional)

Usage: Extracts current music track name, artist, and playback progress to display on the car dashboard cockpit screen.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

SmartAutoConnect does not share, sell, or rent your device data, vehicle information, or personal identifiers to advertising networks or third-party data brokers.

4. User Rights & Data Deletion

Because all application data and pairing tokens are stored locally on your device, you can completely erase all data at any moment by clearing the application storage or uninstalling the app. You may also contact our team via Data Deletion Portal.
