Privacy Policy
Heycar: Car Widgets & Dashboard · Last updated: October 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how KRONIK APP (“KRONIK APP”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares information when you use the mobile application Heycar: Car Widgets & Dashboard (the “App”), which lets you personalize your Home Screen widgets and your car’s CarPlay / Android Auto dashboard with photos, styles, brand themes and connection sounds. By downloading or using the App you agree to this Policy.
1. Information we collect
The App does not require you to create an account or give your name or email to use it. We collect the following categories of data:
- Content you add. Photos and images you pick, plus names, dates, text, colors, car brand/model selections and sounds you choose for your widgets and dashboard. This content is processed and stored on your device to render your widgets — we do not upload it to our servers.
- Device & diagnostic identifiers. Device model, app-instance identifiers, IP address and similar technical data used to run analytics and keep the App stable.
- Advertising identifier (optional). If you allow it in Apple’s “Allow App to Track” prompt, the App can read your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) so we can measure which advertising campaigns led to an install or subscription. If you decline, the identifier is not available and we do not use it. We do not sell it and we do not build advertising profiles of you.
- Approximate location (optional).Only if you turn on “Show my city & weather” (or use Driving / HUD mode) and allow location access while the App is in use. We use your coordinates to look up your city name and the current weather for your widgets and the dashboard, and to show your speed in Driving / HUD mode. We do not store your location history on our servers.
- Usage & diagnostics data. How you interact with the App (features used, sessions, taps), device model, OS and app version, language, general region, and crash / performance logs.
- Text for AI voice sounds (optional). If you use the feature that creates custom connection sounds, the text you type is sent to our server and to our speech-generation provider to produce the audio. Do not enter personal or sensitive information.
- Subscription data. Your subscription status (e.g. active plan, renewal state). Payments are handled by Apple or Google — we never receive your card number.
2. How we use information
- To provide and render your widgets, dashboards and connection sounds.
- To manage your subscription and unlock premium features.
- To analyze and improve the App, fix crashes and prevent abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
3. On-device content
Widget photos, text and custom sounds you create are kept in the App’s storage on your device (and, if you enable it, in your own iCloud / Google backup). Deleting the App removes this content from the device.
4. Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted providers that process data under their own privacy policies, only as needed to run the service:
- Apple App Store / Google Play — distribution, payments and subscriptions.
- Analytics — Google Analytics for Firebase — to understand how the App is used and to keep it stable.
- Crash reporting — Firebase Crashlytics and push notifications — Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Product analytics — Mixpanel — usage events such as screens viewed and features used.
- Subscription management — Adapty — to validate purchase receipts and manage your subscription state across your devices.
- Advertising measurement — Meta Platforms (Facebook SDK / App Events) — to measure whether ad campaigns led to an install or purchase. Purchase and install events may be shared with Meta, together with the advertising identifier only if you allowed tracking.
- Weather and place names— a weather service and a reverse-geocoding service receive your coordinates only when you enable city & weather, and return the weather and city name.
- AI voice generation — ElevenLabs (through our server) — converts the text you enter into audio.
5. Sharing your information
We share data with the service providers described above, when required by law or a valid legal request, and as part of a business transfer (e.g. merger or acquisition). We do not sell your personal information. Limited identifiers and purchase events are shared with our advertising measurement provider (Meta) as described above; you can stop this at any time by turning off tracking for the App in your device settings.
6. Data retention
On-device content stays until you delete it or remove the App. Diagnostic and purchase-related data is kept only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law, then deleted or anonymized.
7. Your rights & choices
- Permissions: manage photo library, location, notification and tracking access in your device settings at any time.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel any time in your device’s account settings (App Store or Google Play) — see our Terms of Use for step-by-step instructions.
- EU/EEA & UK (GDPR): you may access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing and request portability.
- California (CCPA/CPRA): you may request access or deletion. We do not sell personal information. To the extent sharing identifiers with an advertising measurement provider counts as “sharing” under CPRA, you can opt out by turning off tracking for the App in your device settings or by contacting us.
- Türkiye (KVKK): you have the rights set out in Law No. 6698.
To exercise any right, contact support@kronikapp.com.
8. Children’s privacy
The App is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we continuously review our safeguards.
10. International transfers
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
11. Trademarks
Vehicle brand names, logos and imagery shown in the App are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and personalization only. HeyCar and KRONIK APP are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any vehicle manufacturer.
12. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version is always posted here with a revised “Last updated” date.
