Welcome to Sivecta. We respect your privacy and have designed our application from the ground up with a “Privacy-First, Local-First” architecture. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

Unlike traditional apps, we do not force you to register an account to start using our core features. Your personal metadata is stored securely on your device, giving you complete data sovereignty.

2. Information We Collect

A. Local-First Storage (Data on Your Device)

Your detailed behavioral tags, usage history, and personal preferences are stored locally on your device using SQLite. This data never leaves your phone in an identifiable format.

B. Anonymized Cloud Data

• Anonymized Tag Aggregation: We periodically upload a summary of your interest tags (e.g., “fitness”, “travel”) for anonymous audience sizing. These tags are linked only to an anonymous UUID and are never connected to your real identity.
• Behavioral Summary: Aggregated usage metrics (tag counts, activity patterns) are uploaded alongside tag data. These are anonymous statistical summaries.
• District-Level Location: We do not collect or store precise GPS coordinates. If you grant location permissions, we only convert your location into a broad district-level hash (e.g., TW_taipei_daan).
• No Third-Party Tracking SDKs: We do not use traditional advertising SDKs that track your cross-app behavior.

C. AI Processing

When you use AI OCR or Vision features, images are sent securely (HTTPS/TLS) to our AI providers for immediate analysis. Zero Retention: Images are deleted immediately after processing and are not used to train AI models.

D. Personalized Recommendations

• Activity titles and text summaries are sent securely to our AI provider for interest matching.
• Anonymous interest tags describe what type of person you resemble, not who you are.
• Health-related tags are never used for advertising matching (GDPR Article 9 compliance).
• You can enable or disable this feature at any time in Settings.

E. P-Points and In-App Purchases

Transaction records are stored on our servers, linked to your anonymous UUID. In-App Purchases are processed entirely by Apple/Google. We do not process or store your payment card information.

F. AI Phone Reminders

If you opt-in, your phone number is stored securely (encrypted at rest) to enable reminder calls via third-party telephony providers. You can unbind your phone number at any time.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Pair you with relevant local events, flash sales, or merchants.
• Display “Opportunity Cards” matched to your anonymous interest tags. Matching is performed entirely on your device.
• Improve app stability by collecting anonymized crash logs.
• We do NOT sell your personal data.

4. Third-Party Services

• Supabase: Secure cloud database and authentication.
• AI Providers (OpenAI/Anthropic/Google): For intelligent data extraction. Our enterprise agreements prohibit data use for model training.
• Apple/Google: In-App Purchase processing.
• Twilio: Phone reminder call delivery.

5. Data Security

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest. No raw personal data is permanently stored on our servers.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

• Local Data: Deleting the app immediately destroys all local data.
• Cloud Account: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data in Settings > Account > Delete Account.

7. Children's Privacy

Sivecta is not intended for children under the age of 13.
