Privacy Policy — PWC Scan

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This policy covers the PWC Scan apps (iOS, Android, and Windows). The short version: PWC Scan doesn't collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data. There's no account, no analytics, and no ad tracking. Everything the app reads stays on your device unless you personally choose to send it somewhere.

What the app accesses, and why

• Bluetooth / local Wi-Fi network — used only to talk to your ELM327 adapter (e.g. a Veepeak OBDCheck) so the app can read live data from your ski's ECU. This connection stays between your phone and the adapter.
• Location (GPS) — used only to show your current speed on screen, so it can be compared against the ski's own speed sensor. Your location is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere off the device.
• Files / storage — CSV logs and exports are written to your device's local storage so you can open or share them yourself. The app doesn't upload anything automatically.

Research Logging (optional)

PWC Scan includes an optional Research Log feature that records ECU channel readings and GPS speed to a CSV file on your device, intended to help identify what different sensors report across Kawasaki PWC models. That file stays on your device unless you choose to send it — tapping "Email Log to Developer" opens your phone's own Mail app with the file already attached and addressed to doug@rowlandrestorations.com, so you can review it and decide whether to send it. Nothing is sent in the background or without that explicit action.

Third parties

PWC Scan doesn't use any third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs, and doesn't share data with any third party. The only "third party" involved in a normal session is the ELM327 adapter itself, which is hardware you own and connect to directly.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the current version of this policy.
