Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

USB4Car collects the minimum needed to sell and activate licenses. We do not run ads or sell personal data. Your music never leaves your computer.

What we collect, and why

  • Email address — when you buy a license, to deliver your key and let you recover it later.
  • Payment — handled entirely by PayPal. We never see your card or bank details; PayPal sends us only a confirmation and an order reference (PayPal's privacy policy).
  • Activation fingerprint — the app sends an anonymous machine identifier (a hash, never your files or personal data) so your license works on up to 3 computers.
  • First app startup - on its first launch with internet access, it sends a randomly generated installation ID and app version so we can count unique first launches. The server stores that ID, version, and first-seen time and may send the admin a notification. It is not linked to your email or license key and contains no PC name or files.
  • Installer download requests - when you request a USB4Car installer, we store its filename and the request time to count downloads and compare them with first app launches.
  • Settings sync — if licensed, your app preferences (language, chosen car, quality settings) are stored with your license so they follow you between computers.
  • Compatibility feedback — if you tap "It works / It doesn't" after preparing a stick, we store the car model and the technical settings used. No personal data involved.
  • Server logs — standard web-server logs (IP address, requested page, timestamp), kept briefly for security and debugging.

What we don't do

No advertising or analytics cookies — the site sets only a functional session cookie during checkout and on the contact form. We measure page views with Simple Analytics, a privacy-first service that uses no cookies and collects no personal data, so no consent banner is needed. We never read, upload or index your music collection; the app only reads your files locally to prepare your USB stick. We do not sell or share personal data.

Emails to you

Transactional only: your license key after purchase, and key recovery when you ask for it. No newsletters.

Your rights

You can request a copy or deletion of everything we store about your email address at any time — use the contact form. Deleting your data revokes your license, so we'll confirm before acting. EU/EEA residents additionally have the GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability and complaint to a supervisory authority.
