Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how BluepointWorks LLC ("BluepointWorks," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the DIY Mechanikk application (the "Application"). By using the Application, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
1. Information we collect
- Account information: email address and password when you create an account. Passwords are stored in hashed form.
- Vehicle information: make, model, year, trim, mileage, or other details you enter to receive repair, maintenance, or parts information.
- AI assistant inputs: questions, messages, and other content you submit to the AI assistant.
- Communications: information you send us, such as support requests to our contact email.
- Location information: with your permission, we collect your device's location to show nearby dealers, repair services, mechanics, and local stores. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings; the Application will still work, but location-based features will be limited.
- Usage and device information: we use analytics services (such as Google Firebase) that collect device type, operating system, app version, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, session activity, and interactions with Application features.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to: provide and operate the Application, including account access, repair and maintenance content, cost estimates, and parts suggestions; process your questions through the AI assistant and generate responses; show you nearby dealers, services, mechanics, and stores based on your location; analyze usage to maintain, improve, and develop the Application; communicate with you about your account, support requests, and updates; and protect the security of the Application and comply with legal obligations.
3. AI assistant processing
Questions you submit to the AI assistant are processed by our own hosted AI model. If our model is unavailable or responds too slowly, your request may instead be routed through OpenRouter to a third-party AI provider (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar providers) to generate a response. This means the content of your AI assistant messages may be transmitted to and processed by these third-party providers, subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Do not include sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, payment card numbers, or health information) in your AI assistant messages. AI assistant conversations may be retained while your account is active to provide the service and improve response quality.
4. How we share information
- Service providers: companies that help us operate the Application, such as hosting providers, analytics providers (e.g., Google Firebase), and AI infrastructure providers (e.g., OpenRouter and the third-party AI providers described above). These providers process information on our behalf or under their own policies as described.
- Third-party retailers and services: the Application contains links to third-party retailers (such as Amazon) and displays information about local dealers, repair services, and mechanics. When you follow a link or contact a third party, you leave the Application, and any information you provide to them is governed by their own privacy policies. We participate in affiliate programs and may earn a commission on purchases made through retailer links.
- Legal and safety: we may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of BluepointWorks, our users, or others.
- Business transfers: if BluepointWorks is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
5. Data retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal, security, or dispute-resolution purposes. Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of our analytics providers.
6. Your choices and rights
- Account: you can update your account information in the Application or request deletion of your account by contacting us.
- Location: you can enable or disable location access in your device settings at any time.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond as required by applicable law.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Application is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.
9. Third-party links and services
The Application links to third-party websites, retailers, and service providers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing them any information.
10. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the effective date above. Your continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
