iGarage privacy
Last updated 8 November 2026
- iGarage stores your workshop's vehicles in the cloud (Google Firebase) so everyone in the workshop sees the same list.
- There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- The tracking link you send a customer shows only the vehicle and its status, never their phone number or your notes.
Who we are
iGarage is an app by Mochi Studio, an independent app studio based in Spain. For anything about this policy, write to hello@mochistudio.dev.
Who is responsible for what
iGarage is a tool for workshops. The workshop decides which customers and vehicles to add, so the workshop is responsible for its customers' data and for having their permission to contact them. We store that data on the workshop's behalf and only to run the app.
What iGarage stores
- Workshop: the workshop name, its access code and the names of the mechanics who use it.
- Vehicles: make, model, number plate, the customer's phone number and whether they use WhatsApp, dates, status, notes, work done and photos of the vehicle.
- Sign-in: the app signs in anonymously, which creates a random user ID. There is no email or password.
- On your phone: the workshop you joined and your mechanic name, so you stay signed in.
This data is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore). Google may process it outside the European Economic Area with the safeguards the GDPR requires, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. See the Firebase privacy information.
Who can see it
- Anyone who has your workshop code can open your workshop and see its vehicles, so keep the code private.
- A customer's tracking link shows the workshop name, the vehicle's make, model and plate, and its status. It never shows the phone number, notes or photos.
- We do not sell or share this data with anyone else.
Camera, photos and plate scanning
You can take or pick photos of a vehicle. To read a number plate, the app uses Google ML Kit text recognition, which works on your phone: the photo is not sent to Google for this, although ML Kit may send Google basic technical diagnostics.
Calls and WhatsApp
When you tap to call or message a customer, iGarage opens your phone app or WhatsApp with their number. From then on, the WhatsApp privacy policy applies to that conversation.
Purchases
iGarage is a one-off paid download. The App Store or Google Play handles the payment; we never see your payment details.
How long we keep it and how to delete it
Vehicles stay until the workshop deletes them; you can delete vehicles, archived jobs and photos inside the app. To delete a whole workshop and everything in it, email us from the workshop and we will remove it.
If you are a workshop's customer and want your data removed, ask the workshop first. You can also write to us.
Legal basis
We process the workshop's account data to provide the app it uses (performance of a contract). For the customer data the workshop adds, the workshop chooses the legal basis and we act as its processor under our terms of use.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, or object to how we use it, by emailing hello@mochistudio.dev. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the AEPD.
Children
iGarage is a tool for businesses and is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top.
