TAS Vehicle Log Lite privacy policy

This policy covers public and test versions that provide the described features. This page does not announce a public release.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

TAS Vehicle Log Lite is made by Tempo Apps Studio. For privacy questions, contact info@tempoappsstudio.com.

Vehicles and logbooks

The app stores vehicle details, registration plates, make and model, odometer readings, consumption information, costs, amounts, currencies, dates, suppliers, notes, locations, inspection dates and vehicle groups locally on your device. No separate TAS account is required. The app does not upload these records to a Tempo Apps Studio server. It contains no advertisements or proprietary analytics tracking. Vehicle groups combine costs within this installation; they do not create a shared online account.

Photos

You can take photos or choose images, such as fuel receipts or repair invoices. The app keeps copies of selected photos in its private storage. Copies may retain metadata from the original image. The app does not automatically extract amounts from images. Photos remain local unless you include them in a backup or export to a destination you choose. The camera or document app used to take or choose photos, and any external storage provider you select, have their own data practices.

Optional location

You can enter a location manually. Only when you tap the location button does the app request permission, if needed, to use your current location. Depending on your permission and device, this may be approximate or precise. The app uses Android location and address services to obtain a position and look up its address. These device services may send coordinates and technical connection information to their provider, such as Google, to process the request. The provider applies its own privacy policy and retention periods. The address, or coordinates when an address is unavailable, is inserted into your local record and can be edited. The app does not track trips or locations in the background. You can revoke location permission in Android and continue entering locations manually.

Inspections and reminders

Inspection dates and your chosen reminder date and time are stored locally. Android delivers the notification. Depending on notification settings, it may display the vehicle description, registration plate and inspection date. You can turn the reminder off in the app and adjust notification visibility or permission in Android.

Trial, purchases and licences

The app stores the trial start and elapsed time locally. Trial expiry does not delete vehicle records, logbooks or photos. Google Play processes one-time purchases, subscriptions, purchase restoration and any voluntary coffee support. The app does not receive payment-card details. Purchase receipts and signatures are stored locally to verify access rights. A random installation code and any activated gift, reviewer or tester licences are also stored locally. Purchase restoration restores app access; it does not recover deleted vehicle records or photos.

Google Play services

For payments, restoration, update checks and optional reviews, the app communicates with Google Play. Google processes information needed for these services, such as purchase status and references, app and device information, and technical usage, error or performance information. This is separate from locally stored vehicle records. A review you submit may be displayed publicly on Google Play. The app keeps limited local usage counters to avoid frequent review requests; these counters are not sent to Tempo Apps Studio. Google determines processing and retention of its service data under https://policies.google.com/privacy. Manage purchases and reviews through your Google account.

Trips and document exports

Only trips you explicitly start are recorded. The app stores the selected vehicle, odometer readings, start and end dates and times, and optional notes. It does not automatically record GPS journeys. You can export completed trips to Word, Excel or PDF and share them yourself through an external app. You choose the recipient and destination; their processing is governed by their own terms. A temporary export file may remain in the app cache until removed by the app or Android.

Google Drive backup and recovery

You may optionally connect your own Google account for manual or automatic backups. Connecting alone does not enable automatic backup. You separately choose daily or weekly backup and optionally Wi-Fi only. Android determines the execution time.

The app sends the full backup directly to your Google Drive: vehicles, costs, trips, inspections, photos, drafts and the included preferences. ZIP archives are not encrypted with an app password. Tempo Apps Studio does not operate a central backup store. The app requests limited access to files it creates or files shared with it, not general access to all Drive files. It uses the email address and Google account identifier to display the explicitly connected account and prevent account mix-ups. Access tokens are used temporarily in memory and are not written to logs or backups.

You provide your own Google account, internet access and sufficient free Google Drive storage. A backup is reported as verified only after the full copy has been read back and checked. Older completed copies are not automatically deleted. Disconnecting stops automatic Drive backup on this device while retaining local data and existing Drive copies. You can manage your files with Google and revoke permission through your Google account.

On a new phone, install the same app, connect the same Google account and retrieve a backup. The app validates the archive and requests confirmation before restoring; it first preserves a safety copy of current data. Purchases, licences and trial usage are not restored or reset from the ZIP. Account connections, folder access and device permissions must be configured again. Backup is not two-way synchronisation. Existing local backup and manual recovery remain available.

Local backup and earlier versions

You can also choose a shared local folder through Android’s folder picker and separately enable automatic local backups. The app uses its own subfolder and confirms only the local write and readback check. You are responsible for any onward upload of this local folder; a separate synchronisation service has its own privacy policy. Earlier app versions use this local or suitable provider route and do not yet have the direct Google Drive connection. Existing copies are retained. Manual backup and restoration of compatible older ZIP files remain available.

Retention and deletion

Logbook entries and attached photos can be deleted in the app. Deleting a copied attachment does not automatically delete the original image from your gallery. Deleting a vehicle group retains vehicles and their logbooks. Tempo Apps Studio does not provide recovery from a TAS server. Use a suitable personal backup to restore your data. Clearing Android app data or uninstalling the app may erase all locally stored information, including vehicle records, drafts and photos. Keep important original receipts and invoices outside the app as well.

Trademarks and external links
