PartWorth Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PartWorth, operated by InYards ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the PartWorth mobile application (the "App").

2. Information We Collect

• Part photos and labels: Images or label text you submit so we can identify the part and estimate value.
• Vehicle context: Optional details you provide such as VIN, make, model, year, or a free-text vehicle description.
• Scan metadata: Technical details related to a scan request (for example request identifiers and analysis timestamps).
• Device and usage data: Device type, OS version, app version, IP address, crash logs, and interaction data needed to operate and improve the App.
• Contact information: If you email support, we collect the details you include in that message.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Identify parts and generate market value estimates.
• Improve identification accuracy, pricing quality, and App reliability.
• Diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
• Respond to support requests.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Camera and Photos

The App may request camera or photo-library access so you can submit part images. Photos are processed to provide identification and valuation results. We do not use your camera for unrelated background capture.

5. Sharing Your Information

• Service providers: We may share data with trusted processors that help us run analysis, hosting, analytics, or customer support — only as needed to provide the App.
• Market data partners: Part identification and pricing may rely on third-party marketplace or catalog APIs. Submitted images and search context may be sent to those services solely to return comparable results.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
• We do not sell your personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain scan-related data only as long as needed to provide the service, improve quality, meet legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Support emails are kept as needed to handle your request.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights and Choices

• You can choose not to provide optional vehicle details.
• You can deny camera or photo permissions in your device settings (some features will not work).
• You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, subject to applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

PartWorth is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
