Front-Line (the “Company”) complies with the Personal Information Protection Act, the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, and other applicable laws, and establishes and discloses this Privacy Policy to protect the personal information of users of the CarMIE application (the “Service”). CarMIE is a service that connects to a vehicle's OBD-II diagnostic adapter (e.g. ELM327) to collect and record vehicle operation and diagnostic data, transmits it to an analysis server, and provides diagnostic reports and trip records.
The Service collects the following items and transmits and stores them on the Company's analysis server (carmie.frontli.ne.kr).
| Category | Items |
|---|---|
| Vehicle identifiers | Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), manufacturer, model, and model year |
| Device identifier | Device identifier (device_id) — used to distinguish the data source and to de-duplicate |
| Vehicle operation & diagnostic data (OBD-II) |
Parameter IDs (PIDs), raw response values, decoded measurements and units, measurement timestamps, and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) |
| Location data (GPS) | Latitude/longitude, accuracy, altitude, speed, heading, and measurement time (for driving analysis) |
| Trip records | Session identifier, session notes (entered directly by the user), and trip start/end times |
The Service does not collect direct identity information such as your name, phone number, or email, and does not collect advertising identifiers or any information for tracking purposes.
With your consent, the Service collects and uses GPS-based location information for driving analysis. Location data is stored separately from vehicle sensor data and is linked only through the trip session identifier. You may withdraw consent to provide location information at any time via your device settings or within the app; if you do, the driving-analysis feature may be limited.
As a rule, the Company does not provide your data to third parties. However, to identify the vehicle model, the VIN is transmitted to an external public API as follows.
| Recipient | Transferred items | Purpose | Destination country |
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) vPIC API | Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) | Looking up vehicle manufacturer/model information from the VIN | United States |
No operational data or location information other than the VIN is transmitted to the above API.
Collected data is retained for three (3) years from the date of collection and then destroyed. If you request deletion before then, it will be destroyed without delay unless a separate retention obligation is required by applicable law.
