1. Who we are
For purposes of this Policy, “Readervcard,” “we,” “us,” or “our”
refers to the Readervcard app and promotional website. When we act as
a controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing the
personal data described here.
Privacy contact channel:
contact form.
2. Data we collect
- Purchase or subscription data: when payment is involved, the transaction may be processed by app stores or payment providers according to their own policies.
- User ID: screen name, handle, account ID, assigned user ID, customer number, probabilistic identifier, or another user- or account-level identifier that can be used to recognize a specific user or account, when applicable.
- Device ID: the device advertising identifier or another device-level identifier, when applicable.
- Data for advertising, metrics, and operations: basic navigation information, essential cookies, and technical identifiers needed for functionality, analytics, security, or advertising.
3. How we use data
- Recognize business card information locally on the device.
- Allow users to review, correct, organize, and save contacts in the device address book.
- Provide support, respond to requests, and send service-related communications.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, fix issues, and improve the experience.
- Comply with legal, regulatory, tax, or rights-defense obligations.
4. Legal bases
When the LGPD or GDPR applies, we may process data based on contract
performance, consent, legitimate interests, compliance with legal
obligations, regular exercise of rights, and protection of user and
service security. When we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any
time, without affecting processing that was validly performed before
withdrawal.
5. Data sharing
We do not sell personal data. We may share data only when necessary
to operate the service, for example with hosting providers, technical
analytics, support providers, payment processors, app stores, security
tools, advertising providers, or public authorities when required by
law. Business card data recognition is performed on the device. On
iOS, recognition uses Vision and VisionKit, APIs provided by Apple.
On Android, it uses Google ML Kit Text Recognition, provided by Google.
In both cases, there is no sending of card data to external OCR APIs.
We require service providers to process data according to instructions
compatible with this Policy and to adopt reasonable protection measures.
6. International transfers
Data extracted from business cards remains stored on the user's
device. Data related to the website, support, customer service,
purchases, technical metrics, or operational providers may be processed
outside your country of residence. In those cases, we will adopt
safeguards compatible with applicable law, such as contracts, technical
measures, and security assessments when required.
7. Retention and deletion
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes
described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, or to
preserve rights. Business card and contact data remain under the user's
control on the device and may be deleted when you remove the app
content, delete contacts from the address book, or uninstall the app,
according to your operating system features.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational
measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or
alteration. No system is completely free from risk, so we recommend
keeping your device updated and protected.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may request confirmation of processing,
access, correction, deletion, anonymization, blocking, portability,
information about sharing, withdrawal of consent, objection to
processing, and review of automated decisions when applicable.
Residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, and United
Kingdom may have additional rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, including
restriction of processing and the right to lodge a complaint with a
supervisory authority. California residents may have rights to know,
access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing of personal data,
limit the use of sensitive data, and be free from discrimination for
exercising their rights.
To exercise rights, submit a request through the
contact form. We may request reasonable
information to verify your identity before responding to the request.
10. Children and teenagers
Readervcard is not directed to children under 13 in the United States,
nor to minors without valid authorization when local law requires
parental or guardian consent. If we identify improper collection of a
child's data, we will take steps to delete that information.
11. Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use essential cookies for functionality and security.
If metrics, advertising, or non-essential tools are enabled, we will
inform their purpose and, when required, request consent or provide an
opt-out mechanism.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the app, the law, or
our practices. The version published on this page will indicate the
date of the latest update.
13. Regulatory references
This Policy was prepared considering public guidance on privacy and
data protection rights, including materials from the ANPD/LGPD, GDPR,
the California Attorney General on CCPA/CPRA, and the FTC on privacy
and security.
