Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 18, 2025

Livestock Manager: Breeding ("we", "us", "the App") is committed to protecting the privacy of users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the rights you have regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly and information that we collect automatically:

  • Personal information you provide: name, email address, phone number, account credentials.
  • Livestock & farm data: animal profiles (ID, breed, birth date), medical and breeding records, photos, tags, production records — this data is specific to the farmer/operation.
  • Usage & device data: device identifiers, app logs, crash reports, IP address, operating system and version, app version, and usage metrics.
  • Payment data (if applicable): if you make in-app purchases, payment is processed by Google Play; we do not store full payment card data on our servers.
  • Cookies & tracking: for our website and certain app features we may use cookies and similar technologies to improve service and analytics.

2. How We Collect Data

We collect data in three main ways:

  • Provided by you: when you create an account, add animal records, or contact support.
  • Automatically: when you use the App (logs, crash reports, analytics).
  • Third parties: when you use third-party services (e.g., AdMob, Firebase) that share aggregated or event-based data with us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and operate the App and its features (sync between device and cloud, backup, account management).
  • Improve, maintain and develop the App (analytics, product improvement).
  • Personalize your experience and provide support.
  • Serve advertisements and measure ad performance (we use AdMob and similar advertising partners).
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect rights and safety.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data may be stored locally on your device (e.g., Hive/SQLite) and, if you opt in, in cloud services such as Firebase/Firestore. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures — for example, encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and monitoring — to protect information. No system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We may share information with:

  • Service providers: hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support and other vendors (e.g., Firebase, Google AdMob, analytics providers).
  • Advertising partners: to deliver and measure ads. These partners may combine data from other sources to serve personalized ads.
  • Legal requests: when required by law or to protect rights, property or safety.

We do not sell your personal information. We require third parties to employ appropriate safeguards and limit their use to specified purposes.

6. International Transfers

Data stored in cloud services may be processed in countries outside your own jurisdiction. Where required, we will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

7. Retention

We retain personal data as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations and to resolve disputes. If you request deletion, we will remove your data subject to account termination and applicable retention rules.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and over (target audience: farmers, agricultural professionals, livestock businesses). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover we inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it upon verification.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

  • Access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction or update of inaccurate data
  • Deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations)
  • Restriction or objection to certain processing (including marketing)
  • Data portability

To exercise these rights, please use the contact form on our website: livestockmanager.axistia.org. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

10. Advertising & Opt-out

We use AdMob and other advertising platforms which may use cookies or device identifiers to show ads. You may opt out of personalized advertising through device settings or by visiting the ad platform’s opt-out pages (for example, Google Ads Settings).

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy. When we do, we'll update the Effective date above. Significant changes will be communicated via the App or website.
