Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Vivary LLC ("Vivary," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit vivary.app and join the Vivary iOS beta waitlist. It covers this website. The Vivary iOS app carries its own in-app privacy disclosures.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Email address. When you request a beta invite, we collect the email address you enter so we can send you a TestFlight invite and beta-related updates.

Information collected automatically

• Anti-abuse data. When you submit the sign-up form, we record a one-way hashed (salted) version of your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, and a timestamp. We use these only to prevent spam and abuse of the form. We do not store your raw IP address.
• Aggregate analytics. We use a privacy-first analytics service (see Section 4) that reports aggregate metrics like page views and referrers. It does not use cookies and does not identify you.

What we do not collect

• No accounts, passwords, or profiles on this website.
• No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not build advertising profiles.

2. How we use your information

• To send you a TestFlight beta invite when the next wave opens, and occasional updates about the beta.
• To protect the sign-up form from bots and abuse.
• To understand aggregate traffic so we can improve the site.

3. How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that host and protect this site (Section 4), and only as needed to operate it; if required by law; or in connection with a business transfer, in which case we will notify you. Providers are bound to protect your data.

4. Third-party services

This site runs entirely on Cloudflare. We use the following:

Cloudflare Turnstile. To keep the sign-up form free of automated abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile, which runs invisibly. Turnstile may collect information about your interaction with our site, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, and challenge-solving telemetry, to tell humans from bots. Cloudflare processes that information as described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Policy Addendum and Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. Turnstile does not use this information for cross-site tracking or advertising.

Cloudflare Web Analytics. This service is cookieless, does not fingerprint individuals, and does not collect personal data. It gives us aggregate counts only.

5. Data retention

• Waitlist email: kept until the Vivary beta program ends or you ask us to remove it, whichever comes first, then deleted.
• Anti-abuse data (hashed IP, user-agent): kept only as long as needed to prevent abuse, then deleted.

6. Data security

All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS). Sign-up data is stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure with access limited to what is needed to operate the waitlist, and IP addresses are hashed rather than stored in the clear. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take commercially reasonable steps to protect your data.

7. Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to withdraw consent, at any time. To do so, email privacy@vivary.app and we will respond within 30 days. Removing your email from the waitlist is as simple as asking.

European Economic Area / UK (GDPR)

The data controller is Vivary LLC (privacy@vivary.app). We process your email based on your consent (which you may withdraw anytime) and process anti-abuse data based on our legitimate interest in keeping the form secure. You may also restrict or object to processing and lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority. Where data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) apply.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to know, delete, and correct the personal information we hold (categories: identifiers such as email and hashed IP). We do not sell or share your personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. To make a request, email privacy@vivary.app.

India (DPDP)

The data fiduciary is Vivary LLC. We process your data for the purposes in Section 2 with your consent, and you may access, correct, or erase your data or file a grievance by emailing privacy@vivary.app.

8. Children's privacy

This site and the Vivary beta are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us their information, email privacy@vivary.app and we will delete it.

9. About the Vivary app

Vivary is an on-device iOS plant-identification app: identifying plants, keeping your collection, and care reminders happen on your phone without an account. Some features that need to reason (chatting with Ken, health checks, the Botanist VLM) run in the cloud, and the app flags that each time. The app provides its own privacy details in-app and at the App Store; this policy governs the website and waitlist only.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify waitlist subscribers by email. The current version always lives at vivary.app/privacy.
