Last Updated: June 28, 2025
At Thavio, we believe that transparency isn't just about what you consume, but also about how your personal information is handled. Your trust is our most valuable ingredient. This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and web services (collectively, "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our Service.
1.1 Information You Provide Directly:
- User Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we collect your email address and a password. You may also provide optional profile information such as a username.
- Feedback & Communications: Information you provide when you contact us for support, send feedback, or participate in surveys.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically (for app functionality):
- Product Scan/Search Data: When you scan a product barcode or perform a text search, we record the barcode/search term and may store information about the product details retrieved (e.g., product name, category, ingredients). This data is primarily used to:
- Provide you with the requested product information.
- Improve our product database and search accuracy.
- Analyze aggregate trends in product consumption (anonymized).
- Device & Usage Information: We may collect non-identifiable information about your device (e.g., device type, operating system) and how you interact with the Service (e.g., features used, session duration, crash reports). This helps us improve app performance and user experience.
1.3 Information NOT Collected:
- Location Data: We do not collect or track your precise location.
- Personal Health Information: We do not collect medical or sensitive health information.
- Contacts: We do not access your device's contacts.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our Service, including facilitating product searches and displaying relevant details.
- To develop new features and functionalities.
- To analyze usage trends and preferences to enhance user experience.
- To communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support.
- To ensure the security and integrity of our Service.
- For internal research and development (using aggregated, anonymized data).
3. Sharing Your Information
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, database management). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing services to us.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our Service of any such change.
- Aggregated/Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data (which cannot be used to identify you) with third parties for various purposes, including analytics, research, and marketing.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
