Privacy Policy

Effective: March 2026 | Last updated: April 2026 | Velox by SolarityAI LLC

Velox is built with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, where it is stored, and what rights you have regarding your data.

1. Data We Do NOT Collect

Velox does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information with anyone. There are no analytics SDKs, no tracking pixels, no advertising frameworks, and no user accounts. SolarityAI does not operate any servers that receive data from Velox. We have no access to your data.

2. Data Types Accessed

Velox accesses the following data types on your device. All data is processed and stored locally unless you explicitly enable iCloud Sync.

2.1 Precise Location Data

Velox accesses your device's GPS to:

• Display your current speed in real time
• Record trip routes with GPS coordinates
• Calculate distance, altitude, and heading
• Update Dynamic Island and Lock Screen with live speed data
• Provide your coordinates during crash detection emergency calls

Location data is stored locally on your device. It is never sent to any SolarityAI server or any third party.

2.2 Background Location

Velox uses background location access to continue tracking your trip when you switch to other apps or lock your screen. This ensures your trip route, distance, and speed data are recorded without interruption. A blue indicator appears in the iOS status bar whenever background location is active. You can end background tracking at any time by stopping your trip. Background location is used solely for trip continuity and Dynamic Island updates. Continuous background location access will increase battery consumption.

2.3 Motion and Fitness Data

Velox uses your device's accelerometer and gyroscope to:

• Detect driving events (hard braking, sudden acceleration, sharp cornering) for the driving score feature
• Detect potential vehicle crashes for the crash detection feature
• Provide sensor fusion speed estimates (Beta) when enabled by the user

All motion data is processed entirely on your device in real time. Raw sensor data is not stored. Only derived event metadata (event type, timestamp, and location) is saved locally. No motion or fitness data is sent to any server.

2.4 Weather Data

When enabled, Velox displays current weather conditions using Apple Weather (WeatherKit). Your approximate location is sent to Apple's servers to fetch weather data. This request is handled entirely by Apple's WeatherKit framework. SolarityAI does not receive, intercept, or store any weather-related data or location data used for weather requests. Apple's privacy policy governs the handling of this data.

 Weather is the source of Velox weather data. Weather and the Apple Weather logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. Legal attribution.

2.5 iCloud Data

If you enable iCloud Sync in Settings, the following data is stored in your private iCloud container via Apple's CloudKit:

• Trip records (route, speed samples, distance, duration, driving score)
• Driving events (braking, acceleration, cornering events with timestamps and locations)

This data is stored in your personal iCloud account. Only you can access it. SolarityAI has no access to your iCloud container. Apple's privacy policy governs iCloud data handling. You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in Velox Settings. Disabling sync does not delete previously synced data from iCloud; you can manage iCloud storage in iOS Settings.

3. Data Retention and Deletion

• All local data (trips, scores, routes, settings) is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.
• You can delete individual trips by long-pressing a trip card in the app.
• Deleting the Velox app removes all local data permanently and irreversibly.
• If iCloud Sync was enabled, synced data remains in your iCloud account until you manually delete it via iOS Settings > iCloud > Manage Storage.
• SolarityAI does not retain any user data on any server. There is no server-side data to request deletion of.

4. Third-Party Services

Velox uses only Apple's built-in frameworks:

• CoreLocation for GPS speed and trip tracking
• CoreMotion for driving event detection and crash detection
• MapKit for map display (requires internet for map tiles)
• WeatherKit for weather data (requires internet)
• ActivityKit for Dynamic Island and Live Activity
• SwiftData for local data storage
• CloudKit for optional iCloud sync

Velox contains no third-party SDKs, no advertising frameworks, no analytics services, and no crash reporting tools. SolarityAI does not receive, store, or process any data from any of these Apple services.

5. Children's Privacy

Velox is intended for users aged 17 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 17. The app does not collect any data from any user regardless of age.

6. Your Rights

6.1 All Users

• You can revoke location permission at any time in iOS Settings > Velox.
• You can revoke motion sensor permission at any time in iOS Settings > Velox.
• You can delete all local data by deleting the app.
• You can delete individual trips within the app.
• You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in Velox Settings.

6.2 European Economic Area (GDPR)

To the extent GDPR applies, the legal basis for processing location and motion data is your explicit consent, which you provide by granting location and motion permissions in iOS. You can withdraw consent at any time by revoking these permissions in iOS Settings. All data remains on your device or in your personal iCloud account under Apple's data processing terms. You retain the following rights:

• Right of Access: All your data is visible within the Velox app (trips, scores, routes).
• Right to Erasure: Delete individual trips in-app or delete all data by removing the app.
• Right to Data Portability: Export any trip in CSV or GPX format by long-pressing a trip card.
• Right to Restriction: Revoke location or motion permissions in iOS Settings to stop data collection.
• Right to Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence.

For GDPR inquiries, contact [email protected].

6.3 California Residents (CCPA)

Velox does not sell or share your personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act. No personal information is collected, transmitted, or stored on any SolarityAI server. California residents have the right to:

• Know: What data is stored (all visible in-app).
• Delete: Remove data by deleting trips or uninstalling the app.
• Opt-out of Sale: No data is sold. There is nothing to opt out of.
• Non-discrimination: All features are available to all users equally.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Velox after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
