N5 Labs ("we", "us") is an independent iOS developer. CarMinder is an iPhone app for car dashboard widgets, lyrics-style cards, motion-poster cards, and ride sound setup.
CarMinder may store these settings locally on your device:
When you choose a car image, CarMinder processes it on device into a bounded widget image and stores it in the app's shared container so the WidgetKit extension can display it. CarMinder does not request broad photo-library permission in V1.
If you use the optional AI Widgets feature, the car photo and the person photo you explicitly select are sent over an encrypted connection to our secure relay (hosted on Cloudflare) and passed to our image-generation provider, fal.ai, solely to create your personalized widget image. The photos are used only for that single generation: they are not used to train AI models, are not used for advertising or marketing, and are not shared with anyone else. The generated widget image is returned to your device and stored locally. AI generations use credits, which can be included with a Pro subscription or purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system; we never see your payment details. If you never use AI Widgets, no photos leave your device.
CarMinder can provide local notification sounds for Apple Shortcuts automations. Notification permission may be requested when you enable or run sound cues. Imported custom sounds stay on your device and are used only for local sound cues. You can change notification permissions in iOS Settings.
Apple Shortcuts runs personal automations such as CarPlay connect, CarPlay disconnect, and Arrive. CarMinder provides App Shortcuts plus bundled or user-imported local sound cues; it does not control the CarPlay interface.
CarMinder does not request location permission in V1 and does not track your location. Home arrival automations are configured and run by Apple's Shortcuts app.
CarMinder may offer optional Pro features through auto-renewable subscriptions sold by Apple through your App Store account. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements and validate purchase status. RevenueCat may process purchase identifiers and subscription history needed to unlock Pro features. We never see your payment card or Apple ID password.
See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy.
CarMinder can send product analytics events through PostHog when an analytics key is configured. Events are designed to avoid personal content, exact location, license plates, phone numbers, names, prompts, messages, and audio URLs. We do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA).
CarMinder is a general lifestyle utility. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
N5 Labs does not sell personal information.
You can remove locally stored CarMinder data by deleting the app from your device. For questions or requests, email support@n5labs.com.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date.
