Fixie Professional Diagnostics — last revised April 26, 2026. This policy covers the Fixie iOS app and fixiescanner.com.
Fixie reads diagnostic data from the vehicle through your OBD adapter: trouble codes, VIN when the car provides it, readiness monitors, freeze-frame data, module names, and live sensor values.
Scan results, saved dongles, settings, maintenance notes, report data, and diagnostic logs are stored on your device. Repair estimates are calculated on-device from bundled tables and do not call a server.
Ask Fixie sends the question, current vehicle context, and active codes only when you use it. Shop search runs only after you allow it, and it can use a ZIP code or coarse network location to find nearby repair shops. Code-description and VIN-decode lookups call api.fixiescanner.com without any user identifier.
If Fixie crashes or hits a connection bug, an anonymous report (app version, device platform, the error, and recent diagnostic log lines with VINs removed) is sent to us so we can fix it. No account, no advertising ID, no location. You can turn this off any time in Settings → Privacy & Data. User-initiated "Report a problem" submissions include your note and the recent diagnostic log.
Fixie does not track you across apps or websites, does not sell personal data, and does not use advertising identifiers. There are no user accounts in the current release.
When you share a report or diagnostic log, iOS shows the share sheet and you choose where it goes. That export can include vehicle and scan details, so send it only where you mean to.
