Ringside privacy policy
Last updated: November 2026
Ringside is made by FettInk LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with your information.
Ringside helps you record a rental car's condition. Your photos stay yours.
What the app collects
- Photos, videos and audio you capture of a rental car, including narration recorded while filming.
- Location (GPS) at the moment each photo or video is captured, so the record shows where it was taken.
- Rental details you type in, or fill in from a photo of the plate, agreement or booking: company, license plate, agreement number, return time, notes and the branch email address. Text is read from the photo on your iPhone, and the photo itself isn't kept.
- Reminders you turn on (return time, card-statement checks) are scheduled on your iPhone only.
Where it's stored
Everything is stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it's also stored in your own iCloud account, which Apple encrypts and we can't access. We don't run servers that receive your data, and we have no access to your photos, videos, location or rental details.
What leaves your device
Only what you choose to send: when you email a report or share or export files, they go to the recipients you pick, through Mail or the share sheet.
Optional: spot-check examples
If you turn on Help improve spot checks (off by default), answering a suggested spot or reporting damage the spot check missed saves a small example on your phone: a crop of the video frame around that spot, your answer, the detector's numbers, the app version, the phone model and iOS version, and the date (day only). No location, exact time, full photos, videos or rental details are included.
Nothing is sent automatically. You can review every example in Settings, delete any, and send the rest yourself by email to customerservice@fettink.com. We use received examples only to test and improve the spot check. We don't sell them or use them to identify you. Email us to have examples you've sent deleted.
Purchases
In-app purchases are handled by Apple. We don't receive your payment details.
Tracking and analytics
The app doesn't track you, show ads, or include third-party analytics.
Deleting your data
Deleting a rental in the app removes its files from your device (and from iCloud, if sync is on). Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device.
