We recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and are committed to handling your personal data in a lawful, transparent, and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and safeguard information in connection with your use of our mobile application (the “Application”).
This Policy is intended to provide a clear understanding of what data may be collected, how it is used, and what rights you have in relation to your information. By accessing or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described herein.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use, which together govern your interaction with the Application.
Our approach to data processing is based on the principles of necessity, proportionality, and data minimization. We collect only the information required to provide and improve the Application and to comply with legal obligations.
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies solely to the Application. If you access third-party websites or services through links or integrations, their respective privacy policies will apply, and we encourage you to review them independently.
In the course of operating the Application, we may process different categories of information depending on how you interact with the Service.
Where account functionality is available, you may choose to create a user profile. In such cases, we may process limited identification data such as your email address, username, and authentication credentials. Account creation remains optional, and the Application can generally be used without registration. Where supported, you may authenticate using third-party sign-in providers; however, we do not access or store data from your external accounts beyond what is required for authentication.
The Application may also process content that you actively provide. This includes images, photographs of insects, or other materials you upload or generate while using the Application. Such content may include associated metadata. You should be aware that any content you choose to share publicly may become accessible to other users, who may copy or redistribute it independently.
In addition, we may process information submitted when you contact customer support or otherwise communicate with us. This may include your email address and any information contained in your request.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information. Users are strongly advised not to submit confidential data, financial details, health-related information, or images of identifiable individuals through the Application.
When you install or use the Application, certain technical data may be collected automatically. This may include device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, IP address, language settings, and general usage patterns within the Application.
Such data is processed primarily in aggregated or de-identified form and is used to maintain system functionality, improve performance, analyze user behavior trends, and enhance the overall user experience.
The Application may use cookies and comparable tracking technologies to support functionality, analyze usage, and improve services. These technologies enable us and our service providers to understand how users interact with the Application, including which features are used and how frequently.
Analytics tools, such as those provided by third-party vendors, may collect information about your interactions with the Application, including technical identifiers and usage data. These providers operate under their own privacy policies, and we do not control their practices.
Where applicable, you may manage your preferences regarding such technologies through available settings on your device or within the Application. Please note that certain features may not function properly if such technologies are disabled.
We process information for purposes that are necessary for the operation and development of the Application. These purposes include providing core functionality, improving performance, personalizing user experience, responding to user inquiries, and ensuring the security and integrity of the Service.
Where required under applicable law, processing is based on appropriate legal grounds, including the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate business interests, or user consent. Legitimate interests may include improving the Application, maintaining operational efficiency, and ensuring a secure environment for users.
We do not sell personal data to third parties. However, in the course of operating the Application, we may share limited information with service providers who support our infrastructure, analytics, or operational processes. Such providers are contractually obligated to process data only for specified purposes and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, or legal process, or where necessary to protect our rights, users, or the public.
In the event of a business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including operational, legal, and regulatory requirements.
Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purposes of processing, and applicable legal obligations. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to access, correct, or delete your information, as well as the right to restrict or object to certain types of processing.
You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and to request a copy of your data in a structured format.
Requests to exercise these rights may be submitted using the contact details provided below. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law and may request verification of your identity before processing your request.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include encryption, secure infrastructure, and access controls.
Despite these efforts, no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should take appropriate precautions to protect their own data and devices.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. Updated versions will be made available within the Application or through other appropriate channels.
Where changes materially affect your rights, we will provide additional notice as required. Continued use of the Application after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
