EvoCoat Legal
Privacy Policy
1. Scope and roles
This Policy applies to information processed by EvoCoat. If your employer, store, distributor, or another organization provides your account, that organization may separately control information it enters, manages, exports, or deletes. Contact that organization for its own privacy practices.
Mobile application
The Evocoat mobile app connects to our online account and formula services. We process your username, password, account identifier, and session information to authenticate you and provide access to your account. Store and contact details that you or an authorized administrator provide, including names, addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers, are associated with that account. Personal formulas, customer or producer fields, collections, formula printing history, correction reports, and settings are sent to or retrieved from our servers when you use the corresponding features. Personal formulas and collections are associated with your account rather than automatically published to other users.
Authorized company administrators can manage accounts and send announcements with selected images, videos, or documents as attachments. Announcement content is stored by EvoCoat and made available to the intended recipients. Correction reports are available to authorized administrators for review.
The device activation, machine-derived identifiers, offline licenses, and automatic offline synchronization described in this Policy relate to the desktop application. The mobile app uses online account services; it does not use the desktop device activation or offline license mechanism.
2. Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account and store information | Username, account identifier, login and session information, name, company/store name, role, address, contact name, telephone, cell number, email, account status, expiration date | Create and administer accounts, display store information, support label printing, communicate, and provide the service |
| Device and license information | Machine-derived device identifier, activated device, app version, license claims, activation and renewal status | Activate accounts, enforce device limits, prevent misuse, support offline access, and deliver updates |
| User Content | My Formula records, toner weights, color and vehicle references, customer or producer fields, collections, formula printing history, correction reports, announcements and attachments, messages, and settings | Provide formula workflows, offline operation, synchronization, backup, restoration, support, and requested collaboration |
| Technical and security data | IP address, request time, server logs, error details, update checks, download progress, authentication events, and security events | Operate, troubleshoot, secure, audit, improve, and protect EvoCoat |
| Communications | Demo requests, support messages, feedback, correction comments, and related contact details | Respond to requests, provide support, evaluate corrections, and maintain business records |
| Agreement records | Legal version, acceptance time, app/installer version, and local device acceptance status | Document consent, notify users of material changes, and administer legal terms |
3. Sources
We collect information directly from users, from administrators who create or manage accounts, automatically from the application or server when you connect, and from service providers that help us operate communications, hosting, security, or updates.
4. How we use information
- provide, personalize, maintain, synchronize, back up, and support EvoCoat;
- authenticate users, bind devices, manage subscriptions, and prevent unauthorized access;
- process formula searches, saved formulas, collections, messages, labels, and settings;
- deliver reference-data, security, compatibility, and application updates;
- diagnose errors, monitor reliability, investigate abuse, and protect users and systems;
- respond to demo, support, privacy, and legal requests;
- comply with law, enforce agreements, and establish or defend legal claims.
5. Offline operation and synchronization
In the desktop application, some account, license, reference, and formula data is stored locally so EvoCoat can operate when a device is offline. When connectivity returns, pending My Formula changes and other supported data may automatically synchronize with EvoCoat servers. Local data may remain on the device until it is deleted through the application, removed with application data, or otherwise cleared by the device owner.
6. Disclosure
We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to:
- hosting, infrastructure, email, update-distribution, security, and support providers acting for us;
- your organization’s authorized administrators;
- professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or transaction advisers under appropriate obligations;
- law enforcement, regulators, courts, or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and security;
- a successor in a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer, subject to applicable law.
EvoCoat does not sell personal information for money and does not use desktop-app information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We use mobile app account and contact information to provide account access, business features, and customer support. We do not use this information for marketing or advertising, or sell it.
Phone verification
When phone verification is required for an account, the mobile app uses our website's Firebase Authentication and Google reCAPTCHA verification flow. The telephone number used for verification is sent to Google, and the verification result is used by EvoCoat to authenticate the account. Google also processes technical information such as IP addresses and browser information for authentication and abuse prevention. Google states that phone numbers used for Firebase authentication are sent to and stored by Google to improve spam and abuse prevention across Google services. See Firebase's privacy information and the Google Privacy Policy. This verification flow is used only when required for the account's sign-in.
7. Retention
We keep account and service information while an account is active and for a reasonable period afterward when needed for security, support, accounting, dispute resolution, or legal obligations. User Content is retained to provide the service. Deleting a personal formula removes it from active formula views, but a record marked as deleted, including some formula fields, may remain on the server to coordinate synchronization. Deleting a record in the app does not necessarily erase every stored copy immediately. Account deletion and privacy requests may require separate handling of service-provider records, announcements, logs, exports, and backups. Security and technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for their operational or legal purpose. Residual copies may remain in encrypted or access-controlled backups until overwritten through the ordinary backup cycle.
8. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed for the nature of the information, including access controls, authenticated licenses, encrypted transport, restricted administrative functions, and protected storage where appropriate. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users must protect their credentials, devices, local backups, and exported information.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or information about processing, and to appeal a denied privacy request. You may also update certain store fields or delete My Formula records through the application. An authorized administrator can manage or delete an account.
Submit a request by emailing sales@abcies.com or through www.evocoats.com/#contact. We may verify your identity and authority before completing a request. Applicable law may permit or require us to retain certain information.
10. Children
EvoCoat is a professional automotive-refinishing product and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the service.
11. International and interstate processing
Information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different privacy laws. We use contractual and operational protections as appropriate.
12. Changes
We may revise this Policy as EvoCoat, our practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date and legal version identify the current Policy. Material changes may be communicated in the application or require renewed acceptance.
13. Contact
Privacy questions or requests may be submitted to sales@abcies.com or through www.evocoats.com/#contact. The responsible operator is National Supplys Co., United States.
