Privacy Policy

PitPulse (“we,” “us”) is operated by an individual sole proprietor based in California. This policy explains what we collect through getpitpulse.com and the PitPulse app, why we collect it, and what control you have over it.

What we collect

We collect only what the product needs to function:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) — to look up your vehicle's year, make, model, engine and fuel type against the free federal NHTSA vPIC database.
• Email address — to create your account and sign you in via a one-time link. We never ask for or store a password.
• Odometer readings and typical weekly mileage — to project when each service is actually due.
• Service history you log — what was done, when, at what mileage, and optionally cost and shop name.
• Billing information, if you subscribe — handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep only your Stripe customer ID, subscription status, plan, and renewal date.

Before you create an account, your vehicle and service data is stored only in your browser's local storage, on your device. If you sign in, it moves to our database and becomes tied to your account.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with data brokers, insurers, or advertisers. We use a small number of service providers to run the product, each of whom only sees what they need to do their job:

• Supabase — hosts our database and handles authentication.
• Stripe — processes payments. Stripe is PCI-compliant; we never touch raw card data.
• Resend — sends reminder emails and one-time sign-in links on our behalf.
• NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) — a public federal API we query with your VIN and vehicle details to decode specs and check recalls. This is a one-way lookup; NHTSA does not receive your email, mileage, or any other account information.

Cookies and local storage

We use a first-party cookie to keep you signed in, and your browser's local storage to hold vehicle data before you create an account. We don't use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep your data as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your vehicles, service history, and personal information within 30 days, except where we're legally required to retain billing records longer.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• See everything tied to your account by opening it in the app.
• Correct or delete a vehicle or service entry yourself.
• Request a full export or deletion of your account by emailing contact@getpitpulse.com.

California residents: under the CCPA, you have the right to know what personal information we hold, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information, so there's nothing to opt out of — but you can still exercise your right to know or delete by contacting us above, and we won't discriminate against you for doing so.

If you're located outside the United States, including in the EU or UK, contact us and we'll honor equivalent access, correction, and deletion rights.

Security

Your data is protected by row-level security in our database — technically, that means every table is scoped so a person can only ever read or write their own records, enforced by the database itself, not just application code.

Children

PitPulse is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to how we handle your data, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, email active account holders.
