Welcome to Viviary. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
Viviary is designed with a local-first architecture, meaning your diary entries, photos, videos, and personal content are stored directly on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal diary content on our servers.
We may collect the following limited information:
- Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version when you submit feedback
- Contact Information: Only if you voluntarily provide it when contacting support or submitting feedback
- Analytics Data: Anonymous usage statistics to improve the app (can be disabled in settings)
2. How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used to:
- Respond to your support requests and feedback
- Improve app performance and user experience
- Fix bugs and technical issues
- Communicate important updates about the app
3. Data Storage and Security
Your Content: All diary entries, media files, and personal content are stored locally on your device. If you enable cloud backup (iCloud or Google Drive), your data is synced to your personal cloud storage account, not to our servers.
Private Space: Entries marked as private are protected with PIN code and/or biometric authentication on your device.
We implement appropriate security measures to protect any information we do collect from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
4. Third-Party Services
Viviary may integrate with the following third-party services:
- Apple iCloud / Google Drive: For optional cloud backup (governed by Apple's/Google's privacy policies)
- Speech Recognition: For voice-to-text features (processed on-device when possible)
- App Store / Google Play: For in-app purchases and subscriptions
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: View all your data stored within the app
- Export: Export your entries in standard formats (Markdown, JSON)
- Delete: Delete any or all of your content at any time
- Opt-out: Disable analytics and optional data collection in settings
6. Children's Privacy
Viviary is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes through the app or via email if you have provided one. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
