ECU Error Clear - OBD2 Catalyst Tool • Developer: Catalyst Fix Pro

Last Updated: February 7, 2026

Data Collection

ECU Error Clear DOES NOT COLLECT, STORE, or SEND any personal user data.

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location data, or any other personally identifiable information.

No Analytics: We do not use any analytics, tracking, or advertising services.

Vehicle Diagnostics Data

The application reads and processes diagnostic trouble codes from your vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) via the OBD2 protocol.

Data Processing

Important: All diagnostic data is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to servers or third parties.

Specific Features

  • Reads OBD2 diagnostic trouble codes from the ECU
  • Automatically clears specific catalyst trouble codes (P0420, P0430) when safe to do so
  • Implements safety checks to prevent clearing critical error codes
  • Processes all data locally without an internet connection

Internet Connectivity & Licensing

An internet connection is not required for diagnostics and reading error codes. An internet connection is required only for the first license activation and rare background license status checks.

This verification happens securely in the background using the Google Play Licensing service and does not transmit any vehicle or personal data.

Local Storage

The application stores the following data locally only on your device:

  • Diagnostic code clearing history and timestamps
  • Application settings (check intervals, log preferences)
  • Technical logs for debugging
  • Vehicle diagnostic session data

This data remains only on your device and can be fully deleted by uninstalling the application.

Permissions

The application requires the following permissions:

Location Permission

Purpose: Scanning for Bluetooth devices (Android System Requirement)

Android Limitation: Since Android 6.0, all Bluetooth applications require location permission to scan for devices, even if the application does not actually need the user's real location.
Recommendation: Choose "Allow only while using the app" for security reasons. The application DOES NOT use your actual geographical location.

Notifications

Purpose: App activity notifications

Recommendation: Enable, but disable sound and vibration, as the app operates automatically in the background

Nearby Devices

Purpose: Bluetooth connection with the ELM327 OBD2 adapter

Required: Allow, as Bluetooth connection is necessary for diagnostics

Background Service Permission

Purpose: App operation in the background and automatic start after phone restart

Important: Activating the app's background service requires an additional prompt each time to ensure the app can run stably in the background

Storage Permission

Purpose: Saving logs and settings to local storage

Note: Some devices (e.g., Samsung) may not require a separate storage permission, but other OEM manufacturers might.

Battery Optimization

The app works in the background and uses system time for time stamping, so the application's battery consumption is very minimal.

Recommendation: Set "Unrestricted" in battery settings to ensure continuous background operation

Without this setting, some devices may restrict background activity, which could interrupt automatic error scanning.

Third-Party Services

We do not integrate or use any third-party services that collect user data, including:

  • Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
  • Advertising networks
  • Social media integrations
  • Cloud storage services
  • User tracking systems

Security and Limitations

Important Disclaimer: This application is intended ONLY for NON-CRITICAL catalyst trouble codes (P0420, P0430). It does not fix mechanical problems, does not replace faulty parts, and does not address safety-related vehicle issues.

The application includes built-in safety features:

  1. Automatically disables all clearing if any trouble code other than P0420 or P0430 is detected.
  2. Never clears critical engine, brake, safety, or other system trouble codes.
  3. The code clearing operation is completely blocked and terminated if other codes are present.

Children's Privacy

Age Restriction: This application is intended for users who are at least 18 years old or of legal age to operate and maintain a motor vehicle in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

Our application is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at so we can promptly delete such information.

By using this application, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal authority and understanding to operate vehicle diagnostic tools.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

  • Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Posting an announcement in the app update notes
  • Including information in the app's notifications, where appropriate

We advise you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

Contact Us

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, our data processing practices, or the app's functionality, please contact:

We generally respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours.
