3rabytak — Privacy Policy

In effect from 13 September 2026 · Android application ID com.arabytak.app · Contact mohamedelsebair@gmail.com

In short. 3rabytak keeps your car records on your phone. It has no account or server, and it does not transmit your records to us.

If you choose to copy a vehicle history summary, Android places the text on your clipboard so you can paste it into another app yourself. 3rabytak does not send that summary anywhere on its own.

The released app does not hold Android’s internet permission. That is not a policy choice we ask you to trust — the operating system will not let the app open a network connection at all.

1. Who we are

3rabytak is an Android app for vehicle owners in Egypt. It records what you noticed about your car, what was tried, what it cost, and what happened afterwards, so you have your own history in front of you when money is about to be spent.

For any question about this policy, write to mohamedelsebair@gmail.com.

2. What is stored, and where

Everything you enter is saved in a database inside the app, in the app’s private storage area on your phone:

vehicles you add — manufacturer, model, year, mileage, nickname
service records, fuel records and expenses — dates, amounts, mileage, notes
reminders you create — title and the time you chose
problems you record, repair attempts, and their outcomes
when you marked a problem resolved and when you recorded it coming back
workshop visits — the workshop’s name, what they said, what they proposed, what was quoted, what was actually done, the quote and bill lines you record, what you approved, what you paid, and any warranty you note down
condition checks — your own answers to the Rate My Car checklist, and the checklist score they produced
observations — what you noticed about the car, when and how often you notice it, and anything you wrote in your own words
owner checks — the quick checks you work through yourself (the 60-second check, trip preparation, seasonal checks): which questions you answered, what you answered, and any note you added
your language and appearance choices

If you add a photo of your car, it is kept as a picture file in the same private storage area, not in the database. 3rabytak keeps one photo for each car, and only the photo you chose. It saves a fresh copy of the picture without the details a phone stores inside a photo — where and when it was taken, and the camera’s make, model and serial number. Temporary copies made while the picture is handed over are deleted once the photo is saved, and any left by an interrupted save are cleared on a later start of the app.

3rabytak does not upload or back up this data. It is not automatically shared with any company or other app. If you intentionally copy a vehicle history summary, you control where you paste or share that copied text.

3. What we never ask for

3rabytak does not ask for, and has no field for:

your name, phone number or email address
a national ID or any government identifier
a licence plate number
an address or location
payment or card details

There is no sign-up and no sign-in, because there are no accounts.

Free-text fields — notes, problem descriptions, workshop names — accept whatever you type. If you choose to type personal information into a note, it is stored on your phone like everything else, and it still goes nowhere.

4. No internet access

The released version of 3rabytak does not declare Android’s INTERNET permission. The app therefore cannot connect to the internet, upload anything, or contact any server.

As a direct consequence, 3rabytak has:

no analytics of any kind
no advertising and no advertising identifiers
no crash or error reporting to us or anyone else
no tracking, no profiling, no third-party SDK that collects data

5. Permissions the app requests

Permission	Why
Notifications	to show the reminders you created
Run at startup	to restore your reminders after the phone reboots
Vibrate	so a reminder can vibrate
Wake lock	so a reminder can wake the screen at the moment it is due

3rabytak does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, storage, exact alarms, or battery-optimisation exemptions.

Adding a photo of your car needs none of these. Android’s own photo picker, or your camera app, hands 3rabytak only the single picture you choose.

5a. The opening animation

This version opens with a short brand animation. It is a video file packaged inside the app. It is not streamed, it is not downloaded, it contains no camera or microphone input, and it neither reads nor records anything about you.

6. Reminders

Reminders are scheduled by Android on your phone. The text shown is the text you typed. Nothing is sent to a push-notification service, because there is none.

If the phone restarts, 3rabytak re-registers your reminders with Android so they still arrive.

7. Market prices and warning lights

3rabytak ships with a small set of observed Egyptian market prices and explanations of dashboard warning lights. This content is packaged inside the app and is only read.

It is a record of what was observed at a point in time, not a live feed, and it can be out of date. 3rabytak shows how many observations a price is based on and when they were made, so you can judge it.

8. What 3rabytak does not do

3rabytak does not diagnose your car, does not tell you what to repair, does not rate workshops, and does not verify what a workshop told you. It records and shows back what you entered.

9. Deleting your data

You can delete any individual record at any time.
Removing a vehicle also removes everything recorded for it — service, fuel, expenses, reminders, problems and their recorded history, repair attempts, workshop visits, condition checks, owner checks, the observations you recorded, and the photo you added of it. The app tells you this before it happens.
Removing the photo from a car deletes the picture file 3rabytak kept of it. The car and everything recorded for it stay.
Uninstalling 3rabytak removes all of its data from the phone.

Because nothing is ever sent anywhere, there is no copy elsewhere to request the deletion of.

10. No backup or restore

This version of 3rabytak has no backup and no restore. If you lose the phone, reset it, or uninstall the app, your records cannot be recovered — not by you and not by us.

3rabytak can copy a vehicle history summary onto your clipboard so you can paste it somewhere — a message to a mechanic, a note to yourself. You choose which sections it contains and you see the exact text before anything is copied. That summary is a document you can read; it is not a backup, and it cannot put your records back.

We state this plainly so the difference between a shareable summary and a recoverable backup is clear.

11. Children

3rabytak is not directed at children. It does not transmit personal data to us from any user, regardless of age.

12. Security

Your records are protected by the security of your phone. Android keeps each app’s storage private to that app, but anyone who can unlock your phone can open 3rabytak and read what is in it. Use a screen lock.

We cannot access your data, and therefore cannot recover it, reset it, or hand it to anyone.

13. Changes to this policy

If a future version of 3rabytak changes what it stores, or gains the ability to send anything off the device, this policy will be updated and published before that version is released.
