Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 27, 2026

Trackara Pro is operated by Commoner Apps LLC ("Commoner Apps," "we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your business data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use Trackara Pro, the business management service for mobile mechanics and auto repair professionals, through our iPhone, iPad and Android apps, the web portal at shop.trackara.app, our website at pro.trackara.app, and the customer-facing pages your business uses (the booking page and the customer portal at sign.trackara.app). Your customers' use of the customer portal is covered by its own privacy policy at sign.trackara.app/privacy.html, and the Trackara Education module by the Trackara Education privacy notice.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create a Trackara Pro account, we collect:

Terms Acceptance Information

When you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy during account creation, we collect and store:

This information is collected to maintain a legal record of your consent and is protected from modification after creation.

Business Data

The data you create and manage in Trackara Pro, including:

Device Permissions and Sensor Data

Trackara Pro may request access to the following device capabilities. Each permission is requested only when needed and can be managed in your device settings:

Booking Portal Data

If you enable the customer booking portal, your customers may submit booking requests that include their name, phone number, email address, service address, vehicle information, the services they want, notes, photos, answers to your intake questions, preferred appointment times, and any deposit they pay. We also keep a one-way hash of the phone number so returning customers can be recognized, and the booking page may use Google reCAPTCHA to block spam. This data is associated with your account and is subject to the same security and retention policies as your other business data.

Trackara Find Marketplace Profile (Optional)

If you publish a profile on Trackara Find (find.trackara.app), we collect your business name, photo or logo (by default the profile image already on your Trackara Pro account), service area and radius, services and vehicle types, business phone, credentials you list, and, if you choose to add them, your insurance carrier, policy number, expiry date and certificate. We also record when you accepted the Mechanic Marketplace Terms, the leads offered to you and how you responded, and reviews customers leave about completed jobs.

Usage Analytics and Crash Reports

To keep the Service working and improve it, we collect usage and diagnostic data linked to your account:

Analytics in the apps is turned on when you accept these terms, and you can turn it off in the app's settings. Crash reports and error logs are always collected because we need them to fix problems. On iPhone and iPad, the app asks for your permission before any tracking for advertising.

Website, Advertising and Email

Our website uses Google Analytics, Google Ads and Reddit Ads to measure visits and sign-ups, and asks for your consent through a cookie banner. When you sign up after clicking a Reddit ad, we send Reddit a one-way hash of your email address and phone number, never the raw values, so Reddit can attribute the sign-up. The shop web portal uses Google Analytics. We send you account, billing and product emails; some include open and click tracking, and you can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

Support Requests

When you email us or open a support ticket, we keep your message, name and email address. We use Google Gemini to sort and summarize incoming support messages so we can respond faster.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

3. Data Storage and Security

Where Your Data Lives

Trackara Pro works across iPhone, iPad, Android, and any web browser, and keeps your data in sync so the same records appear everywhere you sign in. To make that possible, your business data is stored in our secure cloud (Google Firebase / Cloud Firestore) and cached on each device so the app stays fast and keeps working offline. Changes you make offline sync automatically when you reconnect.

User-Imported PDFs (Device-Only)

If you use the Service Manuals feature to import PDF files (such as service manuals, wiring diagrams, or TSBs) onto your device, those files are stored only on your local device. We do not upload them to our servers, do not include them in cloud sync, do not index or scan their contents, and do not transmit them to any third party. If you delete the app, factory-reset, or switch phones, imported PDFs are gone. Bookmarks you create for imported PDFs are also stored only on the device.

Cloud Infrastructure

Your data is stored and processed using:

Encryption & Security

All data transmission uses industry-standard TLS encryption, and stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. We take reasonable measures to protect your information; however, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Service at your own risk, are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential, and should maintain your own backups of important data.

Data Access

We do not access, view, or share your client data, invoices, or business information except as needed to operate, secure, support, or troubleshoot the Service, or as required by law. Your data is yours.

Your Customers' Data (Your Responsibility)

Trackara Pro is a tool you use to run your business. When you enter information about your own customers (such as their names, contact details, vehicles, and service history), you decide why and how that information is collected and used. For privacy-law purposes, this means you are the controller of your customers' information and Trackara Pro acts as your service provider / data processor, handling that information on your behalf and on your instructions. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect it, for providing any privacy notices or obtaining any consent your customers require, and for honoring their privacy and communication preferences. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information; it is not a substitute for your own privacy practices toward your customers.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal or business data to third parties.

We may share limited data in these situations:

5. Your Rights and Choices

Access and Export

You can access all your data within the app. Export features allow you to download invoices as PDFs. For complete data export, contact support.

Data Deletion

You can delete individual records (clients, invoices, etc.) within the app. To delete your entire account and all associated data, use the "Delete Account" option in the app's settings, or contact support@trackara.app. Deletion starts a 30-day window during which you can sign in and restore the account. After that window, we permanently remove your cloud data and files and disassociate the account from the Service. Copies of documents you already sent to customers, reviews on Trackara Find, and records we must keep for billing, tax or legal reasons may remain, and we keep a record that the deletion was requested.

Note: Account deletion is a data action and does not cancel any active subscription. Trackara Pro subscriptions are billed through Stripe (not Apple's App Store or Google Play), so there is no in-device subscription screen to cancel from, email support@trackara.app to cancel. If you want to stop future charges, cancel your subscription before deleting your account. See our Cancellation Policy for details.

Analytics Opt-Out

You can turn off analytics in the app's settings at any time. Crash reports are still collected so we can fix problems.

Cloud Sync Control

Your data syncs to your account so it's available on every device and in the web portal. You stay in control through the in-app export and account-deletion tools described in Section 5.

6. Data Retention

7. Children's Privacy

Trackara Pro is a business application intended for professional use by adults. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years of age outside the Education module. Students who use the Education module through their school are covered by the Trackara Education privacy notice.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. See Section 14 for the safeguards we use.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
