Permissions Justification

Last Updated: December 4, 2025

Camera Permission

Purpose

Motorly requests camera access to enable users to capture photos of vehicle service receipts, fuel purchase receipts, and vehicle identification documents. This functionality is core to our service as it allows our AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR) technology to extract relevant data automatically.

Justification

  • Enable AI-powered receipt scanning for automatic data entry
  • Allow users to quickly digitize paper records
  • Reduce manual data input errors
  • Enhance user experience by streamlining record creation

User Control

Camera access is only requested when you actively choose to scan a document. You can deny this permission, though this will limit your ability to use our receipt scanning feature. You can manage this permission through your device settings at any time.

Location Permission

Purpose

Motorly requests location access to provide location-based services such as finding nearby fuel stations, service centers, and parking facilities. This enhances the utility of our vehicle management platform by connecting users with relevant local services.

Justification

  • Enable proximity-based service recommendations
  • Provide location-specific fuel pricing information
  • Facilitate navigation to service appointments
  • Offer region-specific maintenance recommendations

User Control

Location access is only used when you actively engage with location-based features. You can choose to deny this permission or disable it in your device settings. Some features may be limited without location access.

Notifications Permission

Purpose

Motorly requests notification permissions to send timely alerts about vehicle maintenance schedules, insurance renewals, road tax deadlines, and service appointment reminders. These notifications are essential for helping users maintain their vehicles properly.

Justification

  • Prevent missed maintenance schedules that could damage vehicles
  • Ensure timely renewal of legal requirements (insurance, road tax)
  • Remind users of scheduled service appointments
  • Alert users to important vehicle health issues

User Control

You can customize which types of notifications you receive through the app settings. You can also disable notifications entirely through your device settings, though this may cause you to miss important vehicle maintenance deadlines.

Storage Permission (Android)

Purpose

On Android devices, Motorly may request storage access to save exported reports, backup data, or save captured images before processing.

Justification

  • Enable saving of vehicle reports in PDF/CSV formats
  • Allow temporary storage of captured images before upload
  • Facilitate offline data backup capabilities

User Control

Storage access is only requested when you choose to export data or save files. You can manage this permission through your device settings.
