advanced dashcam / terms

In short

› the road comes first Set the app up before you drive. Never touch, watch or adjust your phone while driving. Mount it so it doesn't block your view.

› you follow the law Dashcams, phone mounts and recording video, sound or people are regulated differently in every country and region. You are responsible for following the laws where you drive and record.

› it's provided "as is" Recording may stop, fail or be lost (battery, heat, storage, phone settings, a crash). Don't rely on the app as your only record of anything.

› no liability The developer is not responsible for any accident, injury, damage, fine, legal claim, lost recording or any other loss connected with using the app, to the fullest extent the law allows.

› your data stays yours Videos and locations stay on your phone. You decide whether to share them, and you are responsible for that.

1. What the app does

Advanced Dashcam turns an Android phone into a dashcam: it records video from the phone's camera, adds the date, time, GPS position and speed to the picture, and keeps the newest clips while deleting the oldest ones when storage runs low.

2. Safe use

Set the app up while parked. Do not use, watch or adjust the phone while driving; the settings and files pages lock while the car moves. Mount the phone so it does not block your view or an airbag, and follow the rules for phone mounts where you drive.

3. Recording and the law

Laws about dashcams, recording in public, recording sound and recording people differ between countries and regions, and some places forbid or limit them. You alone decide whether and where to record, whether to record sound, and what to do with recordings, and you are responsible for following the law. Sound recording is off unless you turn it on.

4. No guarantee

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. Recording can stop, fail, be cut short or be lost — for example because of the battery, heat, storage, the phone's power saving, other apps using the camera, updates or errors. Check regularly that it records, and do not rely on it as your only record of an event.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage connected with using or being unable to use the app, including accidents, injuries, damage to property, fines, legal claims, lost or unusable recordings and data loss. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app.

6. Your data and privacy

Videos, GPS tracks, trips and settings are stored only on your phone, in the folder you choose. The developer does not collect, receive or sell them, and the app has no account and no ads. The app connects to the internet only to: get the weather for your location (MET Norway, api.met.no — the position is rounded to about 1 km); show map tiles when you open the map (OpenStreetMap); look up place names (Android's built-in geocoder); and check your trial or purchase (Google Play and the app's licence server, which receive a random install id, Google's integrity verdict and, after buying, the purchase token — no videos, no locations). "Web files" lets devices on your own Wi-Fi open your clips; it is off by default and needs a password.

7. Sharing recordings

If you share a recording, you are responsible for it, including other people's privacy and any rights in what was recorded.

8. Trial and purchase

The app is free to try for 7 days. After that, recording needs a one-time purchase through Google Play; clips you already recorded stay viewable. Purchases are handled by Google Play under its terms and refund rules.

9. Changes

These terms can change with app updates. If the meaning changes, the app asks you to agree again before it records.

10. Contact

Questions or problems: through the app's Google Play listing (developer contact).
