The short version
Caravan Lights collects no personal data. There is no account to create, no analytics,
no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. The app talks to two things only: your
caravan's control module over Bluetooth, and — if you choose to use one — your Garmin
watch. Nothing the app knows is ever sent to us. We operate no server for this app.
What the app does
Caravan Lights connects directly to the Bluetooth control module built into your
caravan and switches its lights. Optionally, a companion app on a Garmin watch acts as
a remote control, with messages relayed through your phone. All of this happens
between devices you own, in Bluetooth range of each other.
What is stored, and where
A small amount of configuration is stored on your phone and nowhere else: which
caravan module the app is bound to, which Garmin watch you chose, and the light groups
and brightness preferences you set up. The app also keeps local diagnostic logs of its
own activity to make problems debuggable. None of this leaves your phone unless you
yourself choose to share it — for example by sending us a log when asking for help.
Deleting the app deletes all of it.
The one permission it asks for
Bluetooth. It is the app: without it there is no way to reach the caravan. It is used
solely to find and communicate with your caravan's control module. The app requests no
access to your location, camera, photos, contacts, microphone or anything else.
The Garmin watch
Messages between the watch app and the phone app are routed by Garmin Connect Mobile,
Garmin's own app, which you install and pair separately. That app is provided by
Garmin and governed by
Garmin's privacy policy. Caravan Lights exchanges only light names and on/off states with the watch, and we
receive nothing from either side.
Third parties
The app embeds Garmin's Connect IQ SDK for the sole purpose of exchanging
messages with your watch via the Garmin Connect app on the same phone. It contains no
analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs, and makes no network connections to
Bluedot or anyone else on its own behalf.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, which includes children. It is a light switch.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes in a way that affects any of the above, this page will be
updated and the effective date at the top revised before that version ships.
