Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 25, 2026
AVIR, the Animal Identification and Vaccination Recording System, is used to record livestock owner details, animal identification details, vaccination information, migration or death status, sero surveillance details, location data, photos, and synchronization status needed for official animal health workflows.
Information We Collect
The app may collect and store the following information:
- Account and authentication information used to sign in to the service.
- Livestock owner information, including name, contact number, district, local level, and ward.
- Animal records, including tag number, species/category/type, age, production capacity, vaccination records, migration or death status, sero surveillance status, and related dates.
- Photos selected or captured by the user for animal records.
- Location coordinates recorded with animal and vaccination entries when location permission is granted.
- Device notification token used to send relevant app notifications.
How We Use Information
We use this information to:
- Create, update, view, and synchronize animal identification and vaccination records.
- Support verification, vaccination tracking, sero surveillance, migration, and reporting workflows.
- Store records locally for offline use and sync them to the authorized server when connectivity is available.
- Deliver relevant service notifications.
- Improve reliability, security, and continuity of official field operations.
Local Storage and Sync
AVIR stores data locally on the device so users can continue working offline. When the user syncs, eligible records and photos are uploaded to the configured server using authenticated API requests.
Permissions
The app may request camera, photo library, location, notification, and network access. These permissions are used only for the app features described above.
Data Sharing
Data is shared only with the authorized AVIR backend service and authorized users or administrators who require access for animal health and vaccination workflows. We do not sell personal information.
Data Security
The app uses authenticated requests for server communication. Users should keep their login credentials secure and use only trusted devices for official field work.
Data Retention
Records may remain stored locally on the device and on the authorized server as required for operational, legal, administrative, or animal health reporting purposes. Users should contact their system administrator for correction or removal requests.
Children's Privacy
AVIR is intended for official livestock field recording and is not directed to children.
Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact the AVIR system administrator or the organization responsible for deploying the app.
