Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how My Garage Logs collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use MyGarageLogs.com and related features and services.

1. Information We Collect

The information collected by My Garage Logs depends on the features you use. It may include the following categories.

Account Information

When you create or maintain an account, we may collect your name, username, email address, password information, account preferences, and email verification information.

Passwords are stored using secure password hashing rather than as readable passwords.

Vehicle Information

You may provide information about vehicles you add to your garage, including year, make, model, trim, engine information, mileage, engine hours, license plate, VIN, tire size, oil type, photographs, and other vehicle details.

Maintenance and Service Information

You may store maintenance records, service dates, mileage, service categories, notes, parts and part numbers, maintenance reminders, repair information, and information about where service was performed.

Fuel Records

If you use fuel tracking features, we may store information such as fuel purchase dates, mileage, gallons, prices, costs, and related fuel information.

Documents and Uploaded Files

You may choose to upload receipts, invoices, insurance cards, vehicle documents, photographs, and other files related to your vehicles.

Uploaded documents may contain personal information depending on what you choose to upload. You should avoid uploading information that is not necessary for your use of the service.

Notification Information

If you enable email or push notifications, we may store your notification preferences and technical subscription information necessary to deliver those notifications.

Technical Information

Like most websites, the systems operating My Garage Logs may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, device information, request information, dates and times of access, and server or security logs.

2. How We Use Information

We use information collected through My Garage Logs to operate and improve the service. This may include:

• Creating and maintaining user accounts.
• Authenticating users and protecting account security.
• Displaying and organizing your vehicle information.
• Storing maintenance and service history.
• Generating reports and maintenance records.
• Calculating maintenance and mileage reminders.
• Providing fuel tracking and related calculations.
• Sending email and push notifications you have enabled.
• Providing account verification and password recovery.
• Providing VIN, recall, and vehicle information tools.
• Diagnosing technical problems and protecting the service.

3. VIN and Vehicle Data Services

My Garage Logs may send VINs or vehicle information to third-party vehicle data services, including services provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), when necessary to decode vehicle information or retrieve recall-related information.

Information received from these external sources may be stored or displayed within My Garage Logs to provide vehicle-related features.

4. Email Communications

We may use your email address to send account verification, password reset, email-change verification, maintenance reminders, recall notifications, and other communications necessary to provide features you use.

Notification preferences for optional reminders can be managed through your account settings where those controls are available.

5. Push Notifications

If you choose to enable push notifications, My Garage Logs stores the technical subscription information necessary to send notifications to your registered device or browser.

You can disable push reminders through your account settings or through notification controls provided by your device or browser.

6. How Information Is Shared

My Garage Logs does not sell your personal information.

Information may be shared or processed when reasonably necessary to operate the service, including with service providers used for email delivery, push notifications, hosting, vehicle data, security, or other technical functions.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or operation of My Garage Logs, its users, or others.

7. Payments and Stripe

If you purchase a paid My Garage Logs account upgrade, payment processing is provided by Stripe. Stripe may collect and process payment information such as your payment card details, billing information, transaction information, device information, and other information necessary to process and protect the payment.

My Garage Logs does not directly receive or store your complete payment card number or card security code. We may receive and store information about the transaction, such as the amount, currency, payment status, payment provider, transaction identifier, and date of purchase, so that we can provide and maintain your paid account features.

Payment information processed by Stripe is also subject to Stripe's applicable privacy practices.

8. Vehicle Sharing Features

My Garage Logs may allow a vehicle owner to grant another authorized user access to a vehicle or its information. Information shared through such features may be visible to users who have been granted access.

Users are responsible for granting vehicle access only to people they trust.

9. Cookies and Sessions

My Garage Logs may use cookies or similar browser storage necessary for login sessions, security, preferences, and operation of website features.

Disabling necessary cookies may prevent account or website features from working correctly.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and administrative measures intended to protect information stored by My Garage Logs. These measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, password hashing, access controls, private file storage, security tokens, and server security measures.

No Internet service or data storage system can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their account credentials and promptly change their password if they believe their account may have been compromised.

11. Data Retention

Information may be retained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward when necessary for backups, security, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or operation of the service.

Backup copies may remain for a limited period after information is changed or deleted from the active service.

12. Your Choices

Depending on the features available, you may review or update account information, change your password, change your verified email address, manage reminder preferences, disable push reminders, and edit or delete vehicle-related information through your account.

You may permanently delete your My Garage Logs account through the My Account page. Account deletion removes your user account, vehicles you own, and associated active vehicle data, including maintenance records, reminders, fuel records, saved parts, recalls, photographs, documents, receipts, and sharing permissions.

Maintenance records you entered on a vehicle owned by another user may remain as part of that vehicle's history, but your deleted user account will no longer be associated with those records. Limited copies of deleted information may also remain temporarily in backups as described in the Data Retention section above.

13. Children's Privacy

My Garage Logs is intended for users who are able to create and manage their own vehicle-related account. The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Third-Party Services

My Garage Logs may interact with third-party services or data providers. Those organizations may have their own privacy practices that apply when information is processed by their systems.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as My Garage Logs develops, new features are introduced, or privacy practices change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
