Android package: uk.co.fieldmotor.garage.petauto.lane

Last updated: 25 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PETERSFIELD AUTOMOTIVE LTD handles information in connection with the Fieldmotor Garage Android application, published under the package name uk.co.fieldmotor.garage.petauto.lane. It describes what the application stores, where that information lives, and the choices available to the people who use it.

Fieldmotor Garage is a local recording tool. It helps users map vehicle areas by zone, record the observed state or requirement of each area, flag issues, and produce a readiness overlay together with an action pack and a shareable or exportable summary. The application is designed to work locally on the Android device, and it does not require an account to be created or a sign-in to take place.

This policy applies to the Fieldmotor Garage application and to the way information is handled in connection with it.

Information Stored on Your Device

The application keeps the material you create during your mapping work locally, inside the app's own storage on your Android device. This is the working record you build as you move through the vehicle, and it stays with you on the device.

The local app content may include:

  • Vehicle maps, drafts and completion status
  • Zone state selections
  • Your notes and observation tags
  • Photos you choose to attach
  • Export and share preferences and other local settings

Photos and Other Attachments

Where you add a photo to a record, the image is selected by you and is stored as local app content on the device. The application does not add photos on its own and does not send them to the developer as part of the core workflow.

You are free to use the app without attaching any photos at all. A text-only record of zones, states, notes and tags remains fully usable, and any photos you do add can be removed from the record using the app's own deletion controls.

Local Content and the Developer

The distinction that matters most in this policy is between content held on your device and content held by the company. The material you enter — zone states, notes, tags, attached photos, drafts and exported summaries — is held locally on your Android device. It is not automatically transmitted to the developer as part of the core workflow.

The app does not require personal identity information such as your name, postal address or identity documents in order to carry out its core workflow. Even so, the content you create is yours to shape: notes, tags and attachments may contain personal information if you choose to type it in or attach it, and you should treat local app content accordingly.

If you contact the company directly by email, the company receives your email address and whatever your message contains. That is ordinary correspondence and it is separate from the workflow data the application holds on your device.

Deleting Your Local Data

You can remove individual records within the application, and the app also provides a control for clearing all local app data from the device. Where you prefer a broader reset, local app data can also be removed through the Android device settings for the application, or by uninstalling the application altogether.

Deletion happens on your device and affects the app's own storage. Files you have already exported or shared elsewhere are not covered by these controls, because they live outside the application.

Export, Sharing and External Actions

The application allows you to produce an action pack and a summary of your mapping work, and to export or share that material through standard Android system behaviour. This happens only when you choose to do it. Nothing in the core workflow sends your local content out on its own, so your data remains on the device unless you decide to export, copy or share it.

Contact actions in the app may open external Android services such as a browser, an email client or the Android share sheet. These are the routes you would use to reach the company website or to send the company an email. Those external services operate under their own privacy practices, and the way they handle information is a matter between you and them.

What the App Does Not Include

Fieldmotor Garage does not require login or account registration, does not provide payment or subscription functionality, and does not include monetisation features.

Important Use Notice

The application is a recording and mapping aid. Everything it produces is based on the observations you enter, and it is intended for informational and practical review purposes only. It does not provide mechanical diagnosis.

Nothing the app generates is an official roadworthiness or safety determination, and it is not a certification or a decision of the kind issued under a formal inspection regime. The app is likewise not legal, financial, insurance or regulatory advice. Where a formal opinion, inspection or sign-off is needed, it must come from the appropriately qualified person or authority, not from this app.

Retention and Security

Your local app data stays on the device until you delete the relevant records, clear the app's local data, or uninstall the application. Files you have exported or shared remain wherever you chose to save or send them, and are governed by those locations rather than by the app.

Local app content is kept within the application's own storage on your device and is not held on company servers. Protecting the device itself — for example, with the screen lock you configure — remains with you, as does the handling of any file you export or share.

Your Rights

Users in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area may have rights under applicable data protection legislation, which can include rights of access, correction, deletion and restriction. Whether a particular right applies depends on the circumstances and on whether personal data is being processed; the rights are available where applicable under law.

Because the core workflow of this application runs locally and does not automatically transmit your local content to the developer, most of the information involved can be managed directly on your device, using the app's deletion controls, the Android device settings, or by uninstalling the application. If you wish to raise a question about information the company holds — for example, correspondence you have sent by email — you can contact the company using the details below.

Children's Privacy (13+)

Fieldmotor Garage is intended for users aged 13 and above and is not directed to children under 13. The company does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If such information is identified, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it or otherwise address the situation.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be revised from time to time, for instance if the application's features change or if the way information is handled changes. When a revision is made, the revision date shown at the top of this document is updated so that readers can see which version they are reading. It is worth checking this document periodically if you want to stay current with it.
