LogPrivacy Policy
Last updated: 7 July 2026
LogBoek helps South African taxpayers produce their own vehicle logbooks. This policy explains what we collect, where it lives, and how we handle it. It is aligned with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
Who is responsible for your information
LogBoek is operated from South Africa by its owner, an independent developer. For any question about your personal information, or to reach our Information Officer, email support@logboek.co.za.
What we collect
- Logbook content — the odometer readings, trips, dates, destinations and reasons you enter. This is the information you create to build your own logbook.
- Optional personal fields — your name, tax number and vehicle registration, only if you choose to enter them. They are never required and are used solely to print them on your own document.
- Account information — if you create an account, an email address and an authentication identifier. You can use the app anonymously without an account.
- Anonymised usage & crash data — see Analytics below. This never includes your logbook content.
Where your information lives
- On your device by default. Your logbooks are stored locally and work fully offline.
- In the cloud only if you sync. If you sign in and enable sync, your logbooks are stored using Firebase (Google Cloud), scoped to your account so only you can read them.
What we use it for
Your information is used only to generate your own documents and to provide the app's features. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Payments
Export unlocks are processed by our payment provider (Netcash) on the web, or by Google Play / the App Store for in-app purchases. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded and which logbook it unlocks; we do not receive or store your full card details.
Analytics & crash reporting
We use anonymised analytics and crash reporting to understand which features are used and to fix problems. We track behaviour (for example, "an export was completed"), never the content of your logbook, tax number or registration.
Retention & deletion
Local data is removed when you delete a logbook or uninstall the app. Account and synced data can be deleted at any time — see Delete account & data.
Children
LogBoek is not directed at children under 18.
Changes
We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
