How CarNotify Keeps Your Phone Number Private When Strangers Contact You

CarNotify is an anonymous car owner contact app pattern: scanners never receive your phone or email in the API, page, or chat payload.

An anonymous car owner contact app is not a gimmick. It is the difference between a parking ping and a leaked identity. CarNotify is designed so public surfaces cannot dump owner PII.

What never leaves the server

Owner name, email, and phone are used to deliver your alert. They are not included in scanner JSON, error messages, or the on-screen chat. Rate limits blunt people who try to hammer tokens.

You still control the conversation

Pause the vehicle, ignore a thread, or reply. Strangers do not get a second channel unless you choose to share one — which we recommend you do not.

Get a private QR sticker

Stop printing your phone number on the car. Create a CarNotify account or activate a shop sticker.
