Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
1. Local Device Operation (In-Vehicle)
- Data Stored Locally: Vialog stores trip timestamps, distances, odometer readings, tax categories (Business, Commute, Private), rates, allowances, and custom input (notes or client identifiers) locally on this in-vehicle unit.
- Vehicle Sensors: For automated trip logging, the application uses native vehicle signals (VHAL) and GPS. Android prompts for necessary location permissions separately.
- Driver Responsibility: Drivers remain responsible for auditing log accuracy. Data entry screens must strictly be used while the vehicle is parked in ‘P’.
- Multiple User Profiles: Local trip data is accessible to other drivers who use the same Android profile on the vehicle screen.
- Device Backups: System-level backups follow your device’s Android OS settings; cloud settings exclusively regulate Vialog-specific uploads.
2. User Account & Registration (Optional)
- Creating a user account is optional for offline in-car usage.
- During registration, Google Firebase processes your email address and authentication credentials on behalf of Alliansta.
- Your password is encrypted and is never stored in the trip administration database.
3. Cloud Synchronization & GDPR / AVG Privacy
- Voluntary Choice: Cloud synchronization is an opt-in, voluntary feature configured per account and device.
- Uploaded Data: When enabled, completed trip metadata is synchronized: trip duration, distances, odometer readings, categories, rates, allowances, and sensor quality indicators.
- Zero Location Tracking in Cloud: This version does not upload street addresses, GPS track points, or freeform notes to the cloud. Private journeys therefore contain only aggregate kilometer metrics.
- Hosting Location: Online backup and mobile overview accessible via your phone companion app. The database is hosted inside the European Union (Netherlands,
europe-west4). No third party gains access to your cloud trips.
- Your Rights & Deletion: You may revoke cloud consent at any time or erase your cloud copy. For data access, corrections, or account deletion, email support@vialog.tech. You hold the right to lodge a complaint with your competent supervisory authority (e.g. Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
4. Data Retention & Subscription Terms
- Retention Period: Local logs persist until manually cleared or app data is wiped. Cloud logs persist until you delete them or submit a formal removal request.
- Subscription: Includes a 30-day free trial, followed by € 1.90 per month. Accepting these terms does not initiate a paid subscription; payment activation occurs as a separate step via Stripe Checkout.
