Laminitis App – Privacy Policy

LAMINITIS — PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 31 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the LAMINITIS app collects, how it is used, and what your rights are. It applies to the LAMINITIS app and related services (collectively, the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are (Data Controller)

LAMINITIS is published by VIZAR LTD. For any questions about this policy or your data, contact us.

The App has no account system. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other directly identifying information.

Information We Collect

The following mirrors the App Store "App Privacy" nutrition label for this app. All of it is used for app functionality; none of it is used for tracking or advertising.

1.1 Precise Location

With your permission, the App reads your device's precise GPS location and sends the coordinates to our server to determine your current place and calculate your localised risk profile. You can decline location access and search for a place by name instead. Legal basis: consent (device permission, revocable at any time in Settings).

1.2 Push Notification Token

If you enable notifications, the Apple push token for your device is sent to our server so we can deliver risk-alert advisories to you. Legal basis: performance of a contract (providing the feature you request).

1.3 User ID (device-level, anonymous)

The App generates a random, device-level user identifier via RevenueCat (our subscription management provider). It contains no personal details and is used to associate your subscription status and notification settings with your device. Legal basis: performance of a contract.

1.4 Purchase and Subscription Information

Subscription purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive your active subscription entitlements and expiry date (via Apple and RevenueCat) to unlock the corresponding features and to send you relevant alerts. We never see your payment card details. Legal basis: performance of a contract.

1.5 Feedback Content

If you choose to send feedback, we receive the text you write, the star rating you select, and technical context about your device (app version, device model, OS build, language, country, selected place, notification token) to help us diagnose issues. Anything you voluntarily include in the text (e.g. an email address) is collected on that voluntary basis. Legal basis: legitimate interests (supporting and improving the App).

1.6 Device and Usage Data

When the App communicates with our servers (for risk data, forecasts, device registration, or feedback), we receive technical data such as app version, platform, device model, OS build, language, country, your selected place, and request timestamps. Legal basis: legitimate interests (operating and securing the service).

1.7 Place Search Queries

If you use global search, the place name you type is sent to our server to look up matching places. These queries are not linked to your user identifier. Legal basis: performance of a contract (providing the search feature).

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect your name, contacts, photos, audio, health data, browsing history, or advertising identifiers (no IDFA). We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertising networks. Your data is not used for tracking across other companies' apps or websites.

How We Use Information

Location and place searches → calculate and display your risk profile, forecasts, and advisories.
Push token and notification settings → deliver risk-alert notifications you have enabled.
User ID and subscription status → restore and manage your in-app purchases and entitlements.
Feedback and device context → diagnose problems and improve the App.

Third-Party Service Providers

We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing. We do rely on the following service providers to operate the App:

Apple Inc. — App Store, in-app purchases (StoreKit), and Apple Push Notification service.
RevenueCat, Inc. — subscription and entitlement management.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy, and we require them to process data only to the extent needed to provide these services.

Data Retention

Location coordinates are used to resolve your place and are not kept longer than needed to provide the service. Device registration records are kept while notifications remain enabled and are removed when the App is uninstalled or notifications are disabled (or on request). Feedback records are kept only as long as needed to address your enquiry. Data stored on your device (preferences, selected place) is deleted when you delete the App.

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Because the App has no accounts, the quickest way to remove most data is to delete the App. To exercise any right, email us; we will respond within one month.

International Transfers

Data is processed in the United Kingdom and may be processed by our service providers in other countries (including the United States). Where data leaves the UK, we rely on adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Security

The App communicates with our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we process. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and, for material changes, highlight the update within the App or on our website.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us.
