CarP (the “App”) lets you photograph a car and use AI-assisted image editing to preview paint colors, wheel/rim designs and custom graphics/decals on it. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App handles, how it is used, where it is stored, and your choices. By using CarP you agree to the practices described below.
1. Who we are
CarP is published under the chatdrop.me brand. For privacy questions you can reach us at slava.kolesnik709@gmail.com.
2. Data we collect
2.1 No account required
CarP does not require you to sign in or create an account. We do not collect your name, email address or any other identifying account data.
2.2 Photos you provide
The App works with photos you choose to give it:
- A photo of your car, taken with the App’s own in-app camera screen or chosen from your photo library.
- Optional reference photos of wheels/rims you want fitted, taken or chosen the same way.
- Optional graphics or decals (a sticker, logo or pattern) you want placed on the car, taken or chosen the same way, along with where you position and size it on the car.
- A colour you pick from an in-app palette.
The App only accesses the specific photo you take or select. It does not browse or access the rest of your photo library.
2.3 Diagnostic data
The App may produce local debug logs (visible in the device console) for troubleshooting. These logs are not transmitted to us automatically.
3. How your photos are used
- Locally on your device: your photos and the edited results are stored in the App’s private storage on your device, so you can view, reopen and re-edit your projects. This stays on your device — CarP has no backend server to sync it to.
- Sent to our AI image-generation provider: to produce an edited image (applying a chosen paint colour, a wheel design, or a placed graphic), the relevant photo(s) are sent over an encrypted connection to Black Forest Labs (BFL), a third-party AI image-generation service, using their API. BFL processes the image and returns the edited result to the App. This only happens when you take an action that requires generating a new image (for example, pressing “Finish” in the App’s editing wizard). BFL’s handling of the images it receives is governed by Black Forest Labs’ own privacy policy and terms.
- Shared at your request: if you use the App’s Share or Save-to-Photos buttons, the finished image is handed to your device’s own share sheet or photo library, exactly as with any other app. That only happens when you explicitly tap Share or Save.
We do not sell your photos or any other information, and we do not use them for advertising. We do not run our own image-processing servers; if you would rather not send a photo to our AI provider, you can still use the App to store and organise your own photos without generating an edit.
4. Where your data is stored
| Location | What it holds |
|---|---|
| On your device | Your car photos, edited results, and your saved rim and graphic libraries — the App’s entire storage. |
| Black Forest Labs (processing only) | The photo(s) needed for a single edit, for as long as it takes to generate and return the result. See Black Forest Labs’ own privacy policy for their retention practices. |
5. Permissions
- Camera — to take a photo of a car, a wheel, or a graphic directly within the App. A device without a camera can still use the App with photos chosen from your photo library.
- Photo library — to choose an existing photo instead of taking a new one, and to save an edited image back to your photos.
- Internet — to send a photo to our AI provider when you request an edit, and to receive the result.
The App does not request your microphone, location, contacts, or any other permission. You can revoke any of the permissions above in your device settings; some features will then be unavailable.
6. Sharing & export
The App lets you share a finished image or save it to your photo library through the system share sheet. You control where a shared image goes (messaging, email, social apps, etc.). Sharing and saving happen on your device, at your explicit action.
7. Service providers
The App relies on one processor:
- Black Forest Labs — AI image generation for the paint, rim and graphic edits you request.
Black Forest Labs processes data under its own privacy policy. We recommend you review it.
8. Data retention and deletion
Your photos and projects remain in the App’s local storage until you delete them. You can delete an individual project (and its photos) from within the App at any time. Uninstalling the App removes all of its locally stored data from your device. We do not separately retain copies of your photos once our AI provider has returned a result.
9. Security
Photos sent to our AI provider travel over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Local data is stored in the App’s private sandbox on your device. No system is perfectly secure, and you are responsible for keeping your device secure.
10. Children
CarP is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g. EEA, UK, California), you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete personal data. Because CarP stores your photos only on your own device, you can exercise most of these rights directly in the App by deleting a project, or by uninstalling the App. For anything else, contact us at slava.kolesnik709@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top of the page reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
