Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information the VecturaBook (formerly CargoLog) app ("the app", "we") processes, how it is used, and how it is protected. VecturaBook is a logbook for professional truck drivers that stores trip and shift data on your device.

2. Camera

The app requests camera access only for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) — scanning container, seal and VIN numbers. Video processing and text recognition happen entirely on your device (offline), using on-device machine-learning libraries. The app does not take hidden photos, does not read your gallery, and does not save images to it. Video is never transmitted anywhere. The frames the scanner took of a container number can leave the device only if you switch on container number photos in the diagnostic channel — see Section 4.

3. Location

The app can ask for location access to suggest where you are — the city, or the address of a place such as a parking stop — so that you do not have to type it in. The position is read only at the moment you use such a feature; the app does not record a route. What it stores is what you enter or confirm — addresses of departure and arrival, stops, times and odometer readings.

One case is stated plainly: if you tap the location button on the parking-stop screen and the phone cannot turn your position into a street address, the app puts the coordinates themselves into the address field as text — for example “GPS 32.08040, 34.78180”, accurate to about one metre. You see this text and can correct or replace it before saving. Once saved, it is part of the trip record like any other address: it lives on your device and leaves it only through the optional routes described in Sections 4 and 5.

Location data that you enter or save in the app is part of the trip database, and that database lives on your device. It can leave the phone only through the diagnostic channel described in Section 4, and only while the trip database switch is on; that switch is off until you turn it on. A report goes out only when you export or send it yourself.

4. Diagnostics & usage data (Firebase)

To keep the app stable and fix problems, VecturaBook automatically sends the following to Firebase, a service operated by Google:

• Crash reports and diagnostics (Firebase Crashlytics) — error logs, stack traces, device model and OS version, app version. This helps us find and fix crashes.
• Anonymous usage statistics (Firebase Analytics) — aggregated, non-identifying events about how features are used.

Optional diagnostic channel (off by default). Separately from Firebase, the app can send diagnostic material to a private server operated by the developer of VecturaBook. It sends nothing until you switch it on, and there are three independent switches — one per kind of data:

• Application activity logs — to see errors and failures on real phones instead of guessing from a description.
• The trip database — your trips, clients, addresses and odometer readings, to see what trips look like in real work and to decide what is worth changing.
• Container number photos — only the frames the app took itself while the camera was aimed at a container number, to teach the recognition to read dirty, dented and badly lit numbers.

This website. The site you are reading now uses Google Analytics to count visits and to see which pages people open. It records the page, the language and the clicks on the store buttons; IP addresses are anonymised, advertising signals are switched off, and nothing here identifies you personally. The app and the site are separate things — this paragraph is about the site only.

5. Sync with your web account (opt-in)

If you link your phone to your account at my.vecturabook.com — by scanning a QR code shown on a computer, through a browser on the phone itself, or by entering a code by hand — the app starts sending your truck and trailer records, trips, shifts, refuels, clients, addresses and places to our own server, and receiving them from it. This is what lets the same data show up in your web account and on your other linked devices.

New records are synchronised between devices. Edits to trips, shifts and refuels, and deletions of records, made on the phone are sent to the server. When you delete a record, a deletion mark is sent, and the record is deleted from the server, from your other linked devices and from your web account. A deletion works in the other direction too: a record you delete in the web account is deleted on your phone as well. If the phone is linked, the app tells you before you delete something that the deletion will happen on the other devices and on the website too.

Without linking the phone to an account, nothing is sent — not a single network request.

The data is stored on our own server, travels over an encrypted connection, is not published and is not shared with third parties. No password is needed in the app for this.

You can unlink the phone at any time in the app's settings, or remove it in your web account. Unlinking stops all sending and receiving for that phone; records that were already sent stay in your web account until you delete them there. To delete the account itself and everything it has sent to the server, use the account-deletion page in your web account at my.vecturabook.com.

6. What we do not do

We do not sell personal data, do not use advertising trackers, and do not share your trip, vehicle or shift records with third parties beyond the diagnostic processing described in Section 4 and the opt-in web-account sync described in Section 5.

7. Your choices

You can decline optional permissions (camera, location, notifications) during onboarding or later in system Settings; related features will be limited accordingly. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data from your device.
