2. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the use of the ELITE application on Meta Horizon platforms (including Quest devices). It does not apply to our website or other services unless explicitly stated.
3. What Data Does ELITE Collect?
The ELITE app collects the user’s voice data through the device’s microphone. Voice recording is used only within the app during the interactive experience.
No additional personal data (such as name, email, location, or user account information) is collected or stored by the application.
4. How Is the Collected Data Used?
The voice data collected is used exclusively for in-app interaction between the user and virtual characters. This enables personalized experiences based on spoken responses.
The data is:
- Not stored permanently on the device.
- Not transmitted to external servers or third parties.
- Not used for profiling, marketing, or analytics purposes.
5. Data Storage and Retention
All voice data is processed and used locally on the user’s device during the session. No personal data is stored beyond the session or transferred to external servers or cloud storage.
6. Data Sharing and Transfers
We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personal data collected through ELITE to third parties. The app operates in an isolated environment without server-side communication or third-party integrations.
7. User Rights
Under GDPR and applicable laws, users have the right to:
- Request access to their personal data.
- Request deletion of data.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
Since ELITE does not store personal data outside the device, data deletion can be completed by uninstalling the application from your Meta device. No cloud data or remote storage is used.
If you have any concerns or wish to exercise your rights, you can contact us at: instituto.i3b@gmail.com
8. Legal Basis for Data Processing
We rely on user consent as the lawful basis for processing data. The microphone is only activated after explicit user permission is granted on the device.
9. Security Measures
LabLENI and UPV apply technical and organizational measures to ensure that any data processed within the ELITE app is secure and used only for the intended purpose.
The app follows Meta’s platform security guidelines and uses only device-local resources without external transmission of personal information.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. Users will be notified through the app or platform when significant updates are made.
