Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
This policy explains what the CAFHO app (“CAFHO”, “the app”), provided by CAFHO Technologies LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“we”, “us”), does with your information. In short: your parking data stays on your iPhone. We do not run servers that collect it, we do not sell it, and we do not use it for advertising.
What the app uses and why
Location (including in the background)
CAFHO uses your precise location to detect when you park, to save where your car is, to notify you when you are walking back toward it, and to show the distance and direction in the app. If you allow Always location access, the app can do this while it is closed, so it can save your spot automatically when you park. You can change this at any time in Settings → CAFHO → Location.
Motion & Fitness
The app reads your device’s motion activity (for example driving, walking or stationary) to tell when you have stopped driving and when you are walking. This helps avoid false parking detections.
Camera
The camera is used only inside the augmented reality screens (“Find my car” and “Save spot now”) to place the hologram in your surroundings. CAFHO does not save photos or video from the camera.
Notifications
Used to tell you that your spot was saved and that you are heading back to your car.
Google ARCore Geospatial API
Where available, CAFHO uses Google’s ARCore Geospatial API to position the hologram more accurately. When you use the AR screens, this feature sends camera image data, your device’s location and device sensor data to Google’s servers so that Google can work out your device’s precise position and orientation. We do not receive or store those images. ARCore also includes Google components (based on Firebase) that may use an app installation identifier and collect usage or diagnostic logs for the service. Google processes this data under its own terms; see Google’s Privacy Policy and the ARCore documentation for details. If visual positioning is unavailable, the app falls back to GPS and the compass.
CAFHO does not use third-party analytics, advertising or tracking services of its own.
What we store and where
- Your saved parking spot and related settings are stored on your device.
- A diagnostic trip log (times, distances to your car, location accuracy and motion type, without coordinates) is also stored only on your device.
- Data stored on your device may be included in your own iPhone backups (iCloud or computer), as with most apps. CAFHO does not sync it to any service.
- There are no accounts, and we do not collect your name, email or phone number through the app.
- We do not sell your data or share it for advertising or tracking.
Your choices
- Turn off Location, Motion & Fitness, Camera or Notifications for CAFHO in iPhone Settings at any time. Some features will stop working.
- Tap Clear in the app to delete the saved spot, or delete the app to remove all data it stored.
Children
CAFHO is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves. The date above shows the latest version.
