Driver Hub Privacy Policy

1. What Driver Hub does

Driver Hub helps users track driver and release updates from supported repositories and services. The app may fetch release metadata, repository information, and related update data in order to display available releases, subscriptions, notifications, and update history.

2. Information we collect

a. Information you provide

• Repository subscriptions or saved sources
• Preferences and app settings
• Authentication tokens or account-related data if you sign in through a third-party service such as GitHub

b. Information collected automatically

• Device model
• Android version
• App version
• Language and region
• Diagnostic or crash information
• Basic usage events needed to keep the app working properly

c. Repository and release data

• Repository owner and repository name
• Release titles
• Tags and versions
• Release notes
• Asset names and download links
• Author or publisher metadata where available

d. Security and integrity data

• App session tokens
• Device and app integrity signals
• Play Integrity verdicts or similar anti-abuse security checks
• Server-side request validation data

This data is used to reduce abuse, unauthorized access, and automated misuse of the service.

3. How we use information

• Provide app features
• Sync and display release information
• Store your subscriptions and preferences
• Send notifications about updates or new releases
• Improve app reliability and performance
• Protect the app, users, and backend systems from abuse
• Troubleshoot errors and crashes

4. Authentication and third-party accounts

If you choose to connect a third-party account, such as GitHub, the app may receive limited account-related data or access tokens necessary to perform the requested functionality.

We do not collect your third-party password.

Any third-party login is subject to that provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

5. Local storage on your device

The app may store data locally on your device, including:

• Cached release data
• Subscribed repositories
• UI and app preferences
• Locally stored session or auth-related tokens
• Downloaded files or metadata about downloads

This local storage helps the app work faster and support offline or resumed usage.

6. Backend services

Driver Hub may use backend services to:

• Fetch or normalize repository data
• Deliver app configuration
• Validate app requests
• Enforce rate limits or abuse protection
• Process secure token exchanges
• Support notifications

These backend services may temporarily process technical identifiers, request metadata, and security-related data necessary to provide the service.

7. Notifications

If you enable notifications, the app may use your selected subscriptions and stored preferences to notify you about:

• New releases
• Tracked repository updates
• Important app-related events

You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings or inside the app, if available.

8. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share limited data only when necessary:

• With infrastructure or hosting providers that help operate the service
• With analytics, crash-reporting, or security providers, if used
• When required by law or valid legal request
• To protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the app, users, or systems

9. Data retention

We keep data only as long as needed for app functionality, debugging, reliability, security and abuse prevention, and legal compliance.

You may remove local app data by uninstalling the app or clearing app storage. Some backend records, logs, or security-related records may remain for a limited period where necessary.

10. Your choices

Depending on how you use the app, you may be able to:

• Remove saved repositories or subscriptions
• Revoke third-party account access
• Disable notifications
• Clear local app data
• Contact us to request deletion of backend-stored account-related data, where applicable

11. Children’s privacy

Driver Hub is not intended for children under 13, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, including secure transport, token handling, and abuse prevention mechanisms. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. International processing

Depending on your region and the infrastructure used by the app, your information may be processed in countries other than your own.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide notice through the app or associated website.
