Privacy Policy

1. Overview

HeavyLog (“the App”) is a personal fatigue management reference tool for heavy vehicle drivers. It is designed for personal use only to help drivers informally track their work and rest activities against Australian NHVR fatigue guidelines.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your information when you use HeavyLog.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy is written in plain English so you understand exactly what happens with your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use HeavyLog, you may enter the following information:

• Driver name, licence number and employer or company name
• Vehicle registration, fleet number and trailer number
• Work activity logs including driving, other work, rest and breaks
• Odometer readings
• GPS location (only when you tap the locate button)
• Notes attached to log entries
• Home base timezone and fatigue scheme preference (Standard Hours or BFM)

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

HeavyLog does not automatically collect any analytics, crash reports, advertising identifiers or usage data. The App does not connect to any server or third-party service during normal operation.

3. How We Use Your Information

All information you enter is used solely to:

• Calculate and display your fatigue status as a personal reference against NHVR Standard Hours or BFM guidelines
• Generate a personal activity log for your own records
• Allow you to export your log as a CSV file
• Display your home base timezone and driver profile within the App

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, marketing or any purpose other than operating the App on your device.

4. Data Storage

All data entered into HeavyLog is stored locally on your device only:

• Log entries, driver profile and settings are stored in your device’s local storage
• No data is uploaded to any server, cloud service or third party
• No account, login or registration is required to use the App
• Exported CSV files are saved to your device’s local storage or shared via your chosen method

Data retention: If you uninstall the App or clear app data, your log entries will be permanently deleted. We strongly recommend regularly exporting your log using the built-in Export function.

5. Location Data

HeavyLog requests access to your device’s GPS location only when you tap the location button in the activity entry screen. Location data is used solely to auto-fill the location field in your log entry.

• Location is only accessed when you explicitly request it by tapping the locate button
• Location data is stored only as a text entry in your log — it is never transmitted anywhere
• You can deny location permission and still use all other features of the App
• No background location tracking occurs at any time

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, rent or share your personal information with any third party. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to export it yourself.

We may be required to disclose information if compelled by law. However, as we do not store any of your data on our servers, we have no data to disclose.

7. Third-Party Services

HeavyLog does not integrate with, connect to or transmit data to any third-party services, advertising networks, analytics providers or social media platforms. The App operates entirely offline on your device.

8. Children’s Privacy

HeavyLog is intended for use by adults holding a heavy vehicle licence. The App is not directed at children under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Security

Because all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends on the security of your device. We recommend:

• Using a screen lock, PIN or biometric authentication on your device
• Keeping your device’s operating system up to date
• Regularly exporting and backing up your log data

10. Your Rights

You have full control over your data at all times:

• You can view all your data within the App at any time
• You can export your complete log as a CSV file
• You can delete all your data using the “Clear All Data” button in the Profile tab
• You can uninstall the App at any time, which removes all locally stored data

As all data is stored locally on your device and we do not maintain any server-side records, there is no need to submit a data access or deletion request to us.

11. Limitation of Liability

HeavyLog is provided as a personal reference tool only, on an “as is” basis with no warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We make no representation that HeavyLog is accurate, complete or up to date with current NHVR regulations
• We accept no responsibility for any compliance breach, infringement, fine, penalty or legal consequence arising from use of or reliance on this App
• The App is not a substitute for official NHVR-approved work diary systems or qualified legal and compliance advice
• Users are solely responsible for ensuring their own compliance with all applicable laws and regulations

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
