None of your personal information is shared with third parties unless legally required or explicitly permitted by you.

Temporary or Disposable Email Addresses

To maintain platform security and prevent misuse, BioVisuals automatically blocks temporary, disposable, or “throwaway” email services used solely for anonymous, fraudulent, or abusive account creation.

Examples include services such as:

• 10MinuteMail
• Temp-Mail

• Other known disposable providers

We only block such emails for the purpose of protecting legitimate users and preventing fraud. This does not affect normal personal or professional email accounts.

Responses to Email Inquiries

When you contact us via email, we use your return email address only to respond. We do not use it for other purposes or share it with third parties.

Survey Information

Sometimes we conduct user surveys to improve our products and services. Participation is voluntary and data is aggregated (non-identifiable).

Cookies

Cookies help us:

• Remember login sessions
• Retain user preferences
• Improve our platform performance

Third-party partners may use their own cookies. BioVisuals is not responsible for third-party cookie usage.

Non-Personal Information Collected

We may collect:

• IP address
• Browser type/version
• Device type
• Usage statistics

This data is used to improve platform performance. No personal identity is linked to this data.

Device Identification

To protect BioVisuals and its users from fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access, we use a minimal and privacy-respecting method of device identification (“device identifiers”).

This id does not track your hardware, biometric identifiers, or unique device IDs. It is generated using limited browser information such as:

• Browser type
• Operating system
• Screen resolution
• Preferred language
• Timezone

The Browser Device ID is used only to:

• Prevent fraudulent or repeated account creation
• Identify unusual or abusive login/signup behavior
• Enhance platform integrity and safety

BioVisuals does not track you across websites, does not build advertising profiles, and does not share data with any third party.

Updating Your Information

You may update your personal information anytime through your Dashboard or by contacting support. We retain some data to comply with legal obligations.

How Your Data May Be Shared

Service Providers

We may share limited data with trusted partners for:

• Payment processing
• Email delivery
• Analytics

Legal Requirements

We may share data if required by:

• Law enforcement
• Legal process (court orders, subpoenas)
• Fraud prevention
• Protecting rights & safety

Privacy for Minors

BioVisuals is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Data Security & Abuse Prevention

We use strong technical, organizational, and automated systems to protect your data and to ensure fair and safe use of the BioVisuals platform. These include:

• Encryption of sensitive data (in transit & at rest)
• Secure cookies and session management
• Rate-limiting to prevent automated attacks
• Device-based abuse detection
• Blocking disposable emails used for fraudulent activities
• Monitoring unusual account creation patterns

These systems are designed solely for protection and reliability, not for tracking, advertising, or profiling users.

While we take extensive steps to protect your data, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
