This data is deleted after a maximum of 14 days, unless required longer due to a security incident.

    • Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR/UK GDPR (performance of a contract) for providing the AI analysis service you requested.
    • Explicit Consent (where required): In certain jurisdictions or if these photos are deemed sensitive personal data (e.g., health-related data linked to an individual), we will seek your explicit consent in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) GDPR/UK GDPR before processing them. You will be prompted for this consent within the App.
  • Interactive Map (Location Data): To display regional partners, the App uses your device's location if you have granted permission. This feature is optional.
    • Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR/UK GDPR (your consent). You can change or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.

 

3. Permissions

If granted via your device settings, the App accesses:

 

  • Camera & Photos: For uploading hoof photos for analysis.

Currently, no personal data is transferred to third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Should we engage service providers or partners in countries outside the EU/EEA (e.g., for cloud services or local partnerships in Latin America), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or reliance on adequacy decisions, in accordance with Article 44 et seq. GDPR/UK GDPR. We will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
