Privacy Policy

The following statement describes the privacy policy of GLM Software in relation to our Android applications OBD Now Pros and OBD Now Terminal as required by Google for apps made available on Google Play.

OBD Now Pros

OBD Now Pros when either obtaining an evaluation license or purchasing a subscription, records details of your email address and display name, via Google Sign-In, as well as details of your device, including manufacturer, model and brand and the current version of the Android operating system.

All data is transferred and stored using secure communications. No data communicated to our servers will ever be transferred to third parties.

Information relating to error reporting of the application is collected always and cannot be disabled. This information is totally anonymous and is used to improve the quality of our application.

Analytical information concerning the usage patterns of how the application is used, is also collected. This information is also anonymous. If desired, collection of this data can be turned off in the Settings menu - Collect app usage analytics.

When requesting support, we will normally request OBD Diagnostic log files. These log files include information about your scan tool, such as make and model and version information and potentially detailed output from the ECU(s) of your vehicle.

We ask for them as a means of providing support to you for problems associated with connecting to the vehicle. Details of vehicle make and model are not included in the log files as those properties are not part of the OBDII specification. We may however request that you supply them. Please see the section in our Guide re Requesting Support.

If our policy changes, this statement will be changed to reflect those changes.

OBD Now Terminal

OBD Now Terminal is a free application. We do not collect personal details of the user.

OBD Now Terminal records details of your device, including manufacturer, model and brand and the current version of the Android operating system to the Log files that are created with each connection. Also recorded are details of the scan tool that OBD Now Terminal is connected to. These details are stored in the reserved application area of OBD Now Terminal. No data is transferred to third parties or our servers.

The data is stored for your exclusive use and can be transferred to user storage via file utilities within OBD Now Terminal for your inspection – see File Maintenance – log files via the 3 dot menu. For more detailed information of how to transfer that data see the same section in our user guide.

The File Maintenance menu also has an option for deleting any or all files if required. Finally, the storing of the logged data can be disabled via the Settings menu. If the user decides to copy file(s) to user storage, it then becomes the user's responsibility to maintain those files, including their deletion within user storage.

Information relating to error reporting of the application is collected always and cannot be disabled. This information is totally anonymous and is used to improve the quality of our application.

If our policy changes, this statement will be changed to reflect those changes.
