No personal accounts. No emails required. No data sold — ever. Full transparency on what we collect, who processes it, and how long it stays.
Try Garage AI ("App") is developed and maintained by MAMIN Boubaker ("we", "us", "our"), an independent solo developer acting in a personal capacity. "Mamin Labs" is a personal brand name used for publishing this project — it is not a registered company, has no legal entity status, and has no employees. The official website trygarage.maminlabs.com is a subdomain of maminlabs.com; both domains are personally owned and managed by MAMIN Boubaker as an individual.
This Privacy Policy provides a comprehensive and transparent disclosure of what data is collected, how it is used, with whom it is shared, how long it is retained, and what rights you have — in compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and applicable international data protection laws.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Privacy-by-Design: Try Garage AI is built on the principle of data minimization. We collect only the minimum data necessary to deliver the service. No personal accounts, no emails, no names — just an anonymous Device ID.
The following is a complete list of all data types collected by Try Garage AI, categorized by source and purpose.
We do not collect: names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, or any personal identifiers. We do not collect: payment card numbers, bank details, or financial account information. We do not collect: precise or approximate location data, GPS coordinates, contacts, call logs, SMS messages, microphone audio, biometric data, or health data of any kind. We do not access your contacts and do not require broad contact permissions.
All data collected is used exclusively for the following purposes:
We do not use your data for: advertising, marketing, user profiling, behavioral targeting, selling to third parties, AI model training, or any purpose beyond what is listed above.
Transparency about data sharing is critical. Below is a complete disclosure of every third party that receives any data from the App, what data is shared, and why.
| Recipient | Data Shared | Purpose | Stored by Them? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Gemini AI (Google LLC) |
Vehicle photos (image data transmitted over encrypted HTTPS) | Primary AI image processing to generate vehicle transformations | Temporarily during processing; not retained for model training per Google's API Terms of Service |
| OpenAI GPT Image (OpenAI, Inc.) |
Vehicle photos (image data transmitted over encrypted HTTPS) | Backup AI image processing when primary provider is unavailable | Temporarily during processing; not retained for model training per OpenAI's API Terms |
| Firebase (Google LLC) |
Anonymous Device ID, Pixels balance, transaction history, analytics events, crash reports, device info | Authentication, database storage, analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration | Yes — retained per timelines in §09 |
| Google Play Billing (Google LLC) |
Purchase verification tokens (we do NOT send or receive payment card data) | In-app purchase processing and receipt validation | Managed entirely by Google per their privacy policy |
We do not sell, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise commercially transfer any user data to any third party for any reason — including for advertising, marketing, analytics resale, data brokerage, or any other commercial purpose.
The App contains no advertisements. No data is shared with advertising networks, ad brokers, or marketing platforms. No behavioral profiles are created.
We may disclose data if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Try Garage AI, its users, or the public. Given that we store only anonymous Device IDs, any such disclosure would contain no personally identifiable information.
When you voluntarily submit a report via the in-app reporting feature (accessible through the ⋮ menu → Report within the result preview screen), the reported AI-generated image, your selected report category, any optional written details you provide, and your Anonymous Device ID are securely transmitted to and temporarily stored in Firebase Storage (Google LLC) solely for content safety review by the developer. Reported content is never shared with any AI provider, advertiser, analytics partner, or any other third party — except where disclosure is strictly required by applicable law. Full details of the reporting process, data retention, and your deletion rights are set out in §6.5.
The App relies on the following third-party services to deliver its functionality. Each service is operated by an independent company with its own privacy policy and data practices. We encourage you to review their policies.
All links within the App serve only legitimate technical or informational purposes — documentation, policy pages, or customer support. No in-app links are used for advertising or affiliate promotions. Our website maminlabs.com and its subdomains may independently contain informational or commercial content separate from the App.
Firebase Analytics collects anonymous usage data to help us improve the App. You may limit analytics collection on Android via the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" option in your device's Settings → Google → Ads (this affects Google's advertising identifier system-wide).
Crash reporting is controlled directly inside the App. To disable or enable it, open Try Garage AI → Settings → Privacy → Crash Reporting and use the toggle. Crash reporting is disabled by default and only collects anonymous crash data if you explicitly enable it.
Additional disclosures required by Google appear in the Data Safety section of our Google Play Store listing. Those disclosures complement this policy and reflect the same data practices described here.
Important: When you use an AI transformation, your vehicle photo is transmitted to an external AI provider for processing. This section explains exactly what happens.
Your vehicle photos are processed by one of the following external AI providers depending on availability:
Both providers process images under their respective API Terms of Service.
Per the API Terms of Service of both Google Gemini and OpenAI, data submitted through their paid API tiers is not used to train or improve their AI models. Your photos remain your property and are not incorporated into any machine learning dataset.
Your photo is transmitted securely to the active AI provider over encrypted HTTPS and exists in transient server memory (RAM) only for the duration of the processing request. The complete pipeline — upload, AI processing, and result return — typically takes under 3 minutes, with the actual AI processing itself usually completing within seconds. Once the transformation result is returned to your device, the original photo data is discarded from transient memory. No persistent copy is saved to disk on our servers or on the AI provider's servers. If we add additional AI providers in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
In compliance with Google Play's AI-Generated Content Policy, Try Garage AI provides an accessible in-app mechanism allowing users to report any AI-generated result they consider offensive, inappropriate, or unexpected — without needing to exit the App.
By submitting a report, you explicitly consent to the following: temporary storage of the reported image in Firebase Storage (Google LLC) for the purpose of content safety review; review of the report by the developer; retention of the report data for a maximum of 90 days, after which it is permanently and automatically deleted; and that the reported image will never be shared with any AI provider, advertiser, analytics partner, or any other third party — except where disclosure is strictly required by applicable law.
Reports are stored under your Anonymous Device ID alongside the selected report category and any additional detail you provided. You may request deletion of any submitted report at any time via the methods described in §12. A valid data deletion request will remove all report records still within the 90-day retention window.
Before any AI transformation is performed for the first time, the App displays a clear in-app consent dialog explaining that:
You must explicitly tap "Continue" to continue. Your consent is stored locally on your device and the dialog will not be shown again unless the App is reinstalled or its data is cleared. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing the App's data via Settings → Apps → Try Garage AI → Storage → Clear Data; on the next launch, the consent dialog will appear again before any AI processing can occur.
To deliver its core features, the App requests the following device permissions. Each permission is requested only when needed and can be revoked at any time via your device Settings — though doing so may limit certain features.
| Permission | Android Code | Why We Need It | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera | android.permission.CAMERA |
Allows you to photograph your vehicle directly within the App for AI transformation. By granting camera permission you confirm you have the right to photograph the vehicle shown. | Optional — you can use gallery photos instead |
| Photos / Media | READ_MEDIA_IMAGES (Android 13+) / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and below) |
Allows selecting existing vehicle images from your device gallery. On Android 14+, the system photo picker is used where no special permission is required. | Optional — you can use the camera instead |
| Storage Write | WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 9 and below only) |
Used to save AI-generated transformation result images to your device gallery. Not requested on Android 10+ where scoped storage is used. | Legacy only |
| Internet | android.permission.INTERNET |
Required to communicate with Firebase services and Google Gemini AI for image processing and Pixel management. | Yes — core functionality |
| Push Notifications | POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) |
Optional notifications about completed transformations or Pixel promotions. Only sent if you explicitly grant permission. | Optional |
The App does not request and has no access to: your location (GPS/network), contacts, microphone, phone/call logs, SMS messages, calendar, body sensors, Bluetooth, background location, or any health/fitness data.
You may revoke any granted permission at any time through your device's Settings → Apps → Try Garage AI → Permissions. Revoking permissions may limit certain features (e.g., revoking camera permission means you can only upload photos from gallery).
All in-app purchases of Pixel credits are processed exclusively through Google Play Billing.
Google Play Billing handles all payment processing, subscription management, and refund processing. Your payment data is governed exclusively by Google Payments Privacy Notice and Google Play Terms of Service.
We retain data only as long as necessary for the stated purpose. Below are the specific retention periods for each data type.
| Data Type | Retention Period | Deletion Method |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle photos (originals) | Processed in transient memory only; deleted immediately after the AI transformation completes (typically under 3 minutes) | Automatic — no persistent copy is ever saved to disk |
| AI-generated result images | Not stored on our servers; delivered directly to your device. May be temporarily cached in memory during transfer. | Automatic |
| Anonymous Device ID | Stored until you request deletion or up to 3 years of inactivity, whichever comes first | Automatic after inactivity period, or on-demand via §12 |
| Pixels balance & transaction history | Stored for up to 3 years for internal accounting and fraud prevention; deleted immediately upon user request | On-demand via §12 |
| Firebase Analytics data | Retained up to 14 months per our Firebase Analytics configuration | Automatic expiration by Firebase, or deleted on-demand via §12 |
| Crash reports | Retained up to 90 days in Firebase Crashlytics | Automatic expiration by Firebase, or deleted on-demand via §12 |
| Support email correspondence | Retained as long as needed to resolve the issue, then deleted within 12 months | Manual deletion upon request or after resolution |
| Reported images (submitted via the in-app Report button) | Retained up to 90 days in Firebase Storage for content safety review, then automatically deleted | Automatic after 90 days, or on-demand via §12 |
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the data we process:
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to addressing any breach promptly.
Your Device ID is the only key to your Pixels balance and your data within the App. Anyone with physical access to your device can use the App, spend Pixels, or delete your data. Keep your device protected with a screen lock and do not share unlocked access with others. We are not responsible for any actions taken — including data deletion, Pixel consumption, or transformations — by anyone who has access to your unlocked device or who otherwise gains access to your Device ID. We do not share your Device ID with anyone, and you should not share it either.
Try Garage AI is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has used the App, contact us at trygarage_support@maminlabs.com and we will promptly delete any associated data.
The App's AI is designed exclusively to generate vehicle-related imagery (paint styles, tires, wheels, accessories). Our system enforces strict content filtering and abuse detection that blocks all inappropriate, adult, violent, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable visual content. No free-form text prompts are accepted — all AI outputs are constrained to safe, vehicle-focused transformations.
Even though we collect only anonymous data, you have the right to request deletion of all data associated with your Device ID at any time. No account or identity verification is required — only your Device ID.
Visit trygarage.maminlabs.com/delete-data — paste your Device ID and submit. All data associated with your Device ID is permanently removed.
Email trygarage_support@maminlabs.com with subject "Data Deletion Request" and include your Device ID. We will process your request and send a confirmation reply within 30 days.
Important: Data deletion is permanent and irreversible. Your Pixels balance will be forfeited and cannot be recovered. If you continue using the App after deletion, your existing Device ID will start with a fresh empty state.
Fraud Prevention Exception: A truncated version of your Device ID (with the last 16 characters removed) is retained on our servers solely to prevent repeated fraudulent claims of free Pixels. This partial identifier cannot identify you personally and is never shared with third parties.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable local data protection laws apply to your use of the App.

Our services rely on Firebase and Google Gemini AI (Google LLC, United States) and OpenAI GPT Image (OpenAI, Inc., United States). Both Google and OpenAI process data under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and their own GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreements, ensuring lawful cross-border transfers under GDPR Chapter V.
Because Try Garage AI collects only randomized, anonymous Device IDs — and no personal data as defined under GDPR Article 4(1) — we apply privacy-by-design and data minimization principles throughout the App, significantly limiting GDPR obligations.
To exercise any GDPR right, email trygarage_support@maminlabs.com with subject "GDPR Request". All requests processed within 30 days.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or Google Play policies. When we make material changes, we will:
Continued use of the App after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
