1. Data Collection

Information gathered through Brivex may fall into several categories depending on how the app is used. When someone creates an account, contacts support, publishes local content, or interacts with visual features such as collage bundles and journal previews, the app may receive personal details such as a name, username, email address, profile content, submitted media, and any messages sent through in-app or support channels.

The app may also record technical and device-related details. These can include IP address, approximate region, device model, operating system version, app version, language settings, crash logs, performance diagnostics, referral data, and general interaction events such as views, taps, saves, uploads, or publishing activity.

Certain features may request access to device permissions where relevant. For example:

• Photos or media library access may be requested so users can upload vacation imagery, collage content, or journal visuals.
• Location data may be requested to support local discovery, nearby publishing context, or location-based tagging if those features are enabled.
• Contacts access may be requested only if a feature is offered that helps users discover friends or share content directly.

If a permission is not granted, related features may have limited functionality, but the app should remain usable in other areas. Brivex may also use third-party software development kits and service providers for hosting, analytics, moderation, diagnostics, payment-related processing where applicable, and service delivery. Those tools may receive limited information necessary to perform their functions.

2. Data Usage

Data received through Brivex is used to operate the app, maintain user accounts, display uploaded content, personalize feed experiences, improve local publishing tools, respond to support inquiries, detect misuse, and keep the platform functioning reliably.

Some information may be used to understand how the app is performing overall, such as which features are used most often, where technical issues occur, and how discovery or feed presentation can be improved. In limited cases, Brivex may use contact details or in-app signals to send product notices, account alerts, service announcements, feature updates, or marketing messages where permitted by law. Users may opt out of promotional communications when those messages are provided.

Brivex may share information with vendors, contractors, and processing partners that support app operations. Such sharing is limited to the extent reasonably necessary for services such as infrastructure, analytics, security review, customer support, content delivery, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and operations of Brivex, its users, or the public.

3. Data Storage & Security

Information associated with Brivex may be stored on secure servers operated directly or through infrastructure providers engaged for application hosting and support. Storage locations may vary depending on system design, provider architecture, user region, and backup requirements.

Protective steps may include encrypted transmission, access controls, authentication measures, logging, environment separation, and internal restrictions designed to reduce unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. Even so, no digital platform can promise absolute security, and users should avoid submitting information they would not want retained electronically.

Retention periods depend on the type of information involved, the purpose for which it was received, legal obligations, dispute resolution needs, and operational requirements. Account information, content submissions, and technical records may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, address abuse, comply with law, or maintain business records. When deletion is appropriate, Brivex will aim to remove or de-identify data within a commercially reasonable timeframe, subject to backup and legal limitations.

4. Third-Party Services

Brivex may rely on outside providers to help deliver the app experience. These may include companies that assist with cloud hosting, media storage, analytics, customer messaging, content moderation, payment support, security monitoring, and software performance tools.

Those providers may process information on Brivex's behalf under their own contractual and operational terms. While Brivex aims to work with partners that apply appropriate safeguards, the privacy practices of third-party environments are not fully controlled by Brivex. If the app includes links, embedded content, or integrations that connect users to external destinations, those external properties may follow separate privacy rules.

5. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on location, users may have legal rights regarding personal information. These rights can include requesting access to the data held about them, asking for corrections, seeking deletion, receiving a copy of certain information in a portable format, objecting to particular processing activities, or requesting limits on how information is used.

Residents in jurisdictions such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California may also have rights related to disclosure, non-discrimination, and certain forms of opting out where applicable. If Brivex engages in processing that requires consent under local law, consent can typically be withdrawn for future handling without affecting prior lawful use.

To exercise privacy rights, users may contact support@brivex.com. Brivex may need to verify identity before completing a request, particularly where account access, deletion, or sensitive account changes are involved. Some requests may be limited where legal exceptions apply, such as fraud prevention, recordkeeping duties, security concerns, or compliance obligations.

6. Children's Privacy

Brivex is intended for adults and is not designed for children under the age of 18. The platform, its visual publishing tools, and its social or local discovery features are meant for users who are 18 years of age or older.

Brivex does not knowingly solicit or maintain personal information from children under 13, and it does not intentionally target minors. If it becomes apparent that personal information from a child has been submitted in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, including COPPA requirements, that information may be deleted and associated access may be restricted or removed.

Parents or guardians who believe a minor has provided information to Brivex may report the issue by emailing support@brivex.com.

7. Policy Updates

This policy may be revised from time to time to reflect feature changes, operational updates, legal developments, or adjustments in how Brivex handles information. Updated versions may appear within the app, on the website, or through another reasonable form of notice.

When changes are material, Brivex may provide a more prominent notice before or after the revised terms take effect. Continued use of the app after an updated policy becomes active means the latest version should be reviewed carefully by the user.
