Your AI Driving Guardian

Optizence Technologies ("we", "us", "our") operates the Optidrive mobile application available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use Optidrive.

By using Optidrive you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2a. Data collected and processed entirely on your device (never uploaded):

• Camera video frames — analyzed in real time by the OptiModel AI engine for hazard detection. Frames are not stored; only incident clips (triggered by safety events) are saved to your device.
• LiDAR depth maps — used to measure precise distance to objects ahead. Processed in memory; not stored or transmitted.
• Microphone — used for audio alert output routing only. No audio from the environment is recorded at any time.
• Accelerometer & gyroscope — used to detect hard braking, sharp turns, and impact events (8G threshold). Raw sensor readings are not stored; only event metadata (timestamp, severity level) is retained.

2b. Data stored locally on your device:

• Incident video clips — recorded when a safety event is detected. Stored in your device's photo library. You control deletion.
• GPS coordinates — attached to incident clips for geolocation. Stored on-device with the clip.
• App settings and preferences — stored locally in app storage.

2c. Data sent to our servers (minimal, anonymized):

• Anonymous crash reports — stack traces with no personal data. Used to fix bugs. Auto-deleted after 90 days.
• Anonymous performance metrics — frame rates, detection latency averages. No location or video data included.
• Device identifier (Pro only) — used to authenticate OTA model update delivery. Not linked to your identity or behavior.

We use your information only for the following purposes:

• Real-time safety detection — Camera and LiDAR data are processed on-device to detect hazards and generate audio alerts. This is the core purpose of the app.
• Incident recording — When a safety event is detected, the preceding 30 seconds of video plus GPS coordinates are saved to your device.
• Crash recovery and bug fixing — Anonymous crash logs help us identify and fix software bugs.
• AI model improvement (federated) — Model updates are trained without access to your data. Gradient updates from your device use differential privacy — we never see individual data.
• OTA model delivery (Pro) — Your device ID is used to authenticate delivery of monthly model updates.
• Legal obligations — We retain anonymized records as required by Japanese law for financial and accounting purposes.

Optidrive does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data sharing is limited to the following cases:

• Service providers — We use Firebase Crashlytics (anonymized crash data only, under DPA). No personal data is shared.
• OTA update infrastructure — Encrypted model files are delivered via signed CDN. No user data leaves your device in this process.
• Legal requirements — We may disclose data if required by a valid court order, subpoena, or mandatory government request. We will notify you within legally permitted limits when this occurs.
• Business transfer — In the event of a merger or acquisition, your data will be transferred only with the same privacy protections. You will be notified in advance and given the option to delete your account.

What we never do:

• Share data with advertising networks
• Share data with insurance companies (without your explicit written consent)
• Sell data to data brokers
• Include third-party tracking SDKs in the app

You have the following rights over your data at all times:

• Revoke permissions — Any permission can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings or Android App Permissions. Core safety features continue to work with reduced functionality.
• Delete incident recordings — Delete any clip directly from your device's photo library or from within Optidrive.
• Opt out of anonymous diagnostics — Toggle off in Settings → Privacy → Share Diagnostics.
• Request data deletion — For any data on our servers (crash logs, device ID for Pro), email privacy@optidrive.io or use Settings → Privacy → Delete My Data. Processed within 30 days.
• Data portability — Request an export of any data we hold about you in JSON format. Delivered within 30 days.
• Access your data — Request a summary of all data we hold about you.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you additional rights.

Legal basis for processing:

• Legitimate interest — Real-time safety detection (camera, LiDAR, motion). Processing is necessary for the safety purpose you downloaded the app for.
• Contractual necessity — OTA update delivery (Pro subscription).
• Consent — Crash report sharing (opt-in toggle). You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — Financial records retention as required by applicable law.

Your GDPR rights:

• Right of Access (Article 15) — receive a copy of data we process about you
• Right to Rectification (Article 16) — correct inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure / "Right to be Forgotten" (Article 17)
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18)
• Right to Data Portability (Article 20)
• Right to Object (Article 21) — object to legitimate-interest processing
• Right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Our Data Protection contact: dpo@optidrive.io. We respond to GDPR requests within 30 calendar days.

International transfers: Anonymous crash data processed by Firebase Crashlytics may be transferred to the US under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the following rights:

• Right to Know — the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for collection, and any third parties it is shared with
• Right to Delete — request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions
• Right to Correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing — Optidrive does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. No opt-out mechanism is needed, but is available via Settings → Privacy.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information — Precise location and camera data are used only for the safety purpose disclosed. You may disable either via device permissions.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months:

To submit a CCPA request: privacy@optidrive.io — include "CCPA Request" in the subject line. We respond within 45 days (extendable to 90 days with notice).

Optidrive is a driving safety application intended for licensed drivers. The app is rated 17+ on the App Store and Mature on Google Play.

Optidrive does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the EEA). If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it immediately.

If you believe a child has used Optidrive and provided personal data, please contact us at privacy@optidrive.io.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

• On-device encryption — All locally stored data (incident clips, GPS tags) is protected by iOS Data Protection (AES-256) using the device passcode.
• Secure Enclave — Cryptographic keys used by the app are stored in the Apple Secure Enclave and cannot be extracted.
• Transport security — All network communication uses TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning. Downgrades to older TLS versions are blocked.
• Minimal server footprint — We do not store video, location, or sensor data on our servers. There is nothing to breach.
• Code signing — All OTA model updates are cryptographically signed and verified before installation.
• Third-party audits — We conduct annual security audits. Penetration test reports are available to enterprise customers under NDA.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will:

• Post the updated policy in the app and on this page with a new effective date
• Send in-app notification for significant changes
• For Pro subscribers, send an email notification at least 14 days before the change takes effect

Continued use of Optidrive after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
