1. Introduction

TankPe (“the App”) is a local-first fuel and mileage tracking application developed by Malkari Technologies. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use TankPe.

TankPe is designed with a privacy-first approach. Your fuel logs and vehicle data are stored locally on your device and are not required to be uploaded to any cloud service.

By using TankPe, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

  • Odometer readings

  • Fuel volume, amount, rate

This data is stored locally on your device using SQLite and is not automatically transmitted to our servers.


2.2 Camera & Image Access (OCR Feature)

TankPe may request access to:

  • Camera

  • Photo gallery/storage

These permissions are used only when you choose to use the OCR (text recognition) feature to capture fuel receipt or meter details.

  • Export logs (CSV)

  • Create backups (JSON)

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal vehicle data with third parties.


4. Data Storage
