RevResponsible by SpeakVRroom · Plain-English draft · Last updated October 20, 2026

What stays on your phone

These are saved in your phone's browser storage, not on our servers:

• Your vehicle: year, make, model, engine, mileage, and any nickname you gave it
• Which STEVE you picked (Guardian, Co-Pilot, or Mentor)
• Whether recall alerts are on, and that you accepted these terms
• Your chat with STEVE, one per vehicle, so it's still there when you come back. Text only: photos you send are never saved, just a note that one was sent. Recorded tests are saved as the summary STEVE read.

Tap Clear in the chat to wipe that vehicle's chat. "Reset App" in the Garage clears everything stored on your phone.

What leaves your phone, and where it goes

Chatting with STEVE

Your messages, your vehicle info, and (if a dongle is connected) your live readings, trouble codes and any test you record are sent through our server to our AI provider, Anthropic, which generates STEVE's reply under its commercial terms. RevResponsible doesn't store your conversations on its servers.

Flagging an answer (only when you tap ⚑)

If STEVE gets something wrong and you tap the flag under his answer, we send the developer: that answer, the last few messages before it (text only, no photos), any note you typed, your vehicle's year, make and model, your STEVE mode, and the live readings at that moment. No name, no phone number, no internet address. It's kept for up to 90 days so the problem can be fixed, then deleted automatically. Nothing is sent unless you tap the flag and then Send.

Reporting a fix (only when you tap Report a Fix)

If you use What Fixed It, we receive what you typed (codes, symptom, the fix, whether it held, who did it, rough cost) plus your vehicle's year, make, model, engine and mileage. No name, no phone number, no internet address. The developer reviews reports by hand. Reviewed fixes may later help STEVE answer other owners with the same vehicle and problem, without anything that identifies you. Reports are kept until deleted; ask and we'll remove yours.

Estimate Shield

Photos or text of an estimate go the same route, only to be analyzed. We don't store them. Heads up: estimates often show names, addresses, phone numbers, VINs and shop details. Crop or cover anything you'd rather not share before you scan.

Recall checks

Your vehicle's year, make and model are sent through our server to the U.S. government's NHTSA recall database. Results are cached by vehicle (not by person) for about a day.

Recall alerts (only if you turn them on)

To send you a notification when a new recall is posted, we store your browser's push address (a delivery address your phone's browser creates, with no name or phone number attached), your vehicle's year, make and model, and how many recalls it had when you signed up. Turn alerts off in the Garage and we delete that record. We also delete it automatically if deliveries start failing.

Keeping the lights on

• Abuse limits: to keep bots from running up the bill, we count requests per internet address per day. Those counters are deleted daily.
• Hosting: the app runs on Cloudflare, which, like any web host, handles standard request info (such as IP address and browser type) and may keep short-term operational logs.
• Fonts: the app's fonts load from Google Fonts, so Google sees a request when they load.

What we don't do

• No accounts, no ads, no analytics or tracking scripts
• We don't sell or share your data for marketing
• We don't take commissions on any tool or service STEVE mentions. If that ever changes, we'll say so right where the recommendation appears.
• We're not affiliated with NHTSA, AutoAuth, scan-tool makers, or any vehicle manufacturer

The terms, in plain English

• You're responsible for the work you do or approve. Use proper tools and safety gear, and support a raised vehicle on stands, never just a jack.
• Estimate Shield is a second opinion, not a quote. Labor ranges are estimates. Prices vary by shop, region and labor guide.
• No security bypasses. RevResponsible never helps defeat a vehicle's security systems. Locked-out vehicles get pointed to authorized access only.
• Early Access: the app is free while we build it, provided as-is, and features may change or be removed.
• Liability: to the extent the law allows, RevResponsible isn't liable for damage, injury, or costs that come from using the app or relying on its guidance.
• Changes: if these terms change in a meaningful way, the app will ask you to look them over again.
