Bivia is not designed to collect:
Do not submit patient data, animal medical records, confidential clinical data, or sensitive personal data through the Service or support channels.
We use personal data for the following purposes:
Where applicable under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss data protection law, or Brazil's LGPD, we rely on one or more legal bases:
We may share data with service providers that help us operate the Service. They may process data only as needed to provide services to us, comply with law, and protect their systems.
Service providers may include:
We may share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.
We do not currently sell personal data or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising from the iOS app.
The current iOS app does not use App Tracking Transparency, IDFA-based advertising, AdMob, Meta SDK/App Events, Meta Pixel inside the app, or third-party advertising networks.
We do not currently link user or device data collected from the iOS app with data from other companies' apps, websites, or offline properties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement, and we do not currently share user or device data with data brokers.
If we add advertising, retargeting, Meta Pixel/App Events, advertising measurement, or similar tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and our App Store privacy disclosures before or at the time of that change, and we will ask for consent where required.
We may process and store data in countries other than your country of residence, including Brazil, the United States, the European Economic Area, and other locations where we or our service providers operate.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections, data processing agreements, standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Service, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and maintain security.
Typical retention periods:
When data is no longer needed, we delete, aggregate, de-identify, or anonymize it where reasonably possible.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
You can exercise rights by contacting suporte@getbivia.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
You may manage some preferences in the app, including language, theme, notification settings, and account settings.
You may cancel app store subscriptions through your Apple Account, Google Play account, or applicable app store subscription settings. Deleting your Bivia account or deleting the app does not automatically cancel an active subscription.
You may request account deletion from within the app where available or by contacting suporte@getbivia.com.
Deleting your account may delete or de-identify account-linked study progress, preferences, and profile data, subject to legal, security, billing, fraud prevention, tax, accounting, app store, and operational retention requirements.
Subscription cancellation is separate from account deletion. To avoid future charges, cancel your subscription in your app store account settings.
Bivia is intended for students, professionals, and users interested in veterinary anatomy and related educational topics. It is not directed to children under 13 years old or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where parental consent is required. If you believe a child provided personal data without required consent, contact us at suporte@getbivia.com and we will take appropriate steps.
If you are under the age required to consent to data processing in your jurisdiction, use the Service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
No system is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for using a secure device and network.
The Service may link to third-party websites, app stores, authentication providers, payment systems, support tools, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices except where required by law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as through the app, website, or other appropriate means.
The updated Privacy Policy will be effective when posted unless a later date is stated. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
