Car Club Connect

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-30

This Privacy Policy describes how Ampys Apps ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Car Club Connect mobile app and related websites (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this Policy.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of data, all linked to your account identity:

  • Contact info — your name, email address, and (optionally) phone number, provided at signup or on your profile.
  • User content — messages, photos, voice notes, event descriptions, flyers, and other content you create in the app.
  • Purchase history — records of dues payments and event ticket purchases made through the Service.
  • Precise location — with your permission, we access your device's location to sort nearby events and set your home location. Location is not stored on our servers as a persistent history.
  • Identifiers — a user ID assigned by our authentication provider, and a device push-notification token used to send you alerts.

2. How we use your information

We use collected data exclusively to operate the Service:

  • Authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • Show you your chapter's members, events, chat channels, and roster.
  • Send you push notifications for events, chat messages, dues reminders, and other in-app activity.
  • Process dues payments and ticket sales via Stripe.
  • Diagnose bugs and maintain service reliability.

We do not use your data for advertising or cross-app tracking. We do not sell your personal data.

3. How we share information

Other members of your chapter and connected chapters see certain profile data by design of the Service: your name, avatar, role, and public activity (events RSVPed, messages posted). We share data with the following sub-processors solely to operate the Service:

  • Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
  • Stripe — payment processing (Stripe holds card data; we do not).
  • Apple Push Notification Service — push message delivery.
  • Resend — transactional email (invitations, receipts).
  • Google Maps / Google Places — address autocomplete and map rendering.
  • PostHog — first-party product analytics (aggregated feature usage; no cross-app tracking, no advertising identifiers).
  • Sentry — crash and error reporting (stack traces, device model, OS version; no personal messages or content).

We do not share your data with data brokers or advertisers.

4. Data retention and deletion

We retain your account and content for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the Profile screen in the mobile app; deletion removes your profile, chat messages, and other user content. Some records (payment history, invoices) may be retained as required by law or by our payment processor.

5. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, email us at the address below. California residents have rights under the CCPA, and users in the EU/UK have rights under GDPR.

6. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. If we make material changes, we'll notify you in the app. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
