Privacy Policy

Private Policy

  1. Introduction
    LVLogics (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your
    privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal data
    when you visit our website (lvlogics.com) or use our application and services (collectively, the
    “Services”). This policy is provided in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
    (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
    If you have any concerns about how we handle your data, please contact us before using our
    Services (see Section 12).
  2. Data Controller
    LVLogics is the data controller for personal data collected through our website and Services.
    LVLogics [Registered Company Name] [Registered Address, Ireland] Company Registration
    Number: [CRO Number] Email: privacy@lvlogics.com Website: lvlogics.com
  3. What Personal Data We Collect
    Data You Provide Directly
  • Identity data: name, job title, company name
  • Contact data: email address, phone number, postal address
  • Account credentials: username, hashed password
  • Communications: content of support requests, contact form submissions
  • Payment data: billing address and payment method details (card processing is handled
    by our PCI-compliant payment provider; we do not store full card numbers)
  • AI processing of your voice recording: When you record a bin reading, BinVoice captures
    a short voice recording and sends only that recording to two third-party AI
    services: OpenAI (its Whisper service), which transcribes your speech to text,
    and Anthropic (its Claude service), which interprets that text into a structured silo
    reading. The result is returned to your device and saved to your SiloSpi account.
  • What these providers do with your data: OpenAI and Anthropic act solely as our data
    processors and act only on our instructions. They use your voice recording and its
    transcription only to perform the transcription and interpretation we request. They do
    not use your data to train their models, for service improvement, or for any of their own
    purposes, and they do not retain the voice recording after processing.
  • Protection and retention: Your voice recording is discarded immediately after processing
    and is never stored by us. Your location is never sent to these AI services. We confirm
    that OpenAI and Anthropic provide the same or an equivalent level of protection for your
    personal data as set out in this Privacy Policy, and are contractually required to process
    it only on our documented instructions.

Data Collected Automatically

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device
    identifiers
  • Usage data: pages visited, features accessed, actions taken within the application,
    session duration, referring URLs, time and date of access
  • Location Data: BinVoice uses your device’s precise location (GPS), when you grant
    permission, to identify the correct facility for a reading. Location is used only for this
    purpose and is not used for tracking across apps or websites.

Data from Connected Devices and Integrations

  • Telemetry, sensor readings, and facility data transmitted from IoT devices or third-party
    integrations you connect to our platform (e.g., monitoring devices, industrial sensors)
    This operational data is processed solely to provide the Services you have requested.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

The basis we rely on for each type of processing is:

    by your rights and interests. You may request details of that assessment by contacting us.

    Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of
    processing carried out before withdrawal.

      6. How We Share Your Personal Data
      We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
      Service Providers (Data Processors): We engage trusted third-party vendors who process data
      on our behalf under written data processing agreements compliant with GDPR Article 28. These
      include hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery services, and analytics providers.
      They may only process your data on our documented instructions.

      others.
      Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may
      be transferred. We will notify you in advance and your rights under this policy will continue to
      apply.
      We do not share your personal data with any third party for their own independent marketing or
      commercial purposes.

        7. International Transfers of Personal Data
        LVLogics is based in Ireland and your data is primarily stored and processed within the
        European Economic Area (EEA).

          Where we engage service providers located outside the EEA (for example, cloud infrastructure
          or analytics providers), we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place in accordance with
          GDPR Chapter V, including:

          • Transfers to countries with an EU adequacy decision (e.g., the UK under the current
            adequacy framework)
          • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
          • Other appropriate safeguards as permitted under GDPR
            You may request details of the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer by
            contacting us.

          Data Retention
          We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or
          as required by applicable law.

            • Account data: Retained for the duration of your account and for up to 12 months after
              closure, to allow for reactivation and to resolve any outstanding issues
            • Financial and billing records: Retained for 7 years as required by Irish tax and

              service (e.g., processing the reading) and for legal compliance, after which they are
              securely deleted.
              When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

              10. Your Rights Under GDPR
              As a data subject under GDPR, you have the following rights. These rights are not absolute and
              may be subject to limitations in certain circumstances.

                • Right of Access (Art. 15): Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and
                  information about how it is processed.
                • Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete
                  personal data.
                • Right to Erasure / “Right to be Forgotten” (Art. 17): Request deletion of your personal
                  data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
                • Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18): Request that we restrict processing of your
                  personal data in certain circumstances.
                • Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Receive your personal data in a structured,
                  commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller, where
                  processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
                • Right to Object (Art. 21): Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct
                  marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, we will cease processing
                  immediately.
                • Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making (Art. 22): We do not carry out solely
                  automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly
                  significant effects. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide appropriate
                  information.
                • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw
                  it at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
                  How to Exercise Your Rights
                  To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@lvlogics.com or by post at the
                  address in Section 12. We will respond within one month of receipt of your request. We may
                  need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no charge for exercising your
                  rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

                11. Right to Lodge a Complaint
                If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with applicable law, you
                have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish supervisory authority:

                  You also have the right to seek a judicial remedy. We would, however, appreciate the
                  opportunity to address your concerns before you contact the DPC, so please contact us in the
                  first instance.

                  1. Data Security
                    We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data
                    against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Measures
                    include:
                  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS/HTTPS)
                  • Encryption of data at rest
                  • Access controls and role-based permissions
                  • Regular security assessments
                  • Staff training on data protection obligations

                  In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms,
                  we will notify the DPC within 72 hours and, where required, notify you without undue delay.
