Privacy policy

1. Data controller

The controller of personal data is:

BeeVista Sp. z o.o.
ul. Skalista 6, 27-215 Wąchock, Poland
VAT (NIP): 6642156824, KRS: 0001143344, REGON: 540385890
Contact e-mail: kontakt@queenradar.pl

2. What data we collect and why

The queenradar.pl website is mostly static. We process data only in the situations described below.

The “Help improve QueenRadar” form

• Uploaded files (comb photos and videos) — to train and improve the QueenRadar AI model.
• Optional description of the material — to properly categorize and describe the training data.
• Technical data — submission date and time, and the IP address stored in an irreversibly hashed form (we do not store the IP address in clear text) — for security, abuse prevention and rate limiting.
• Consent confirmation — the fact and moment of granting consent to process the material.

You may voluntarily include in the files or description data that constitutes personal data (e.g. a person visible in the background). Please do not submit personal data that is not necessary.

Online testers (“Try the model” and the mite drop counter)

A photo uploaded to a tester on the site is sent to our server solely to run the analysis (object detection or mite counting) and return the result. The photo is not stored — it is processed in memory and discarded right after the analysis. If you tick the “Help improve the model” consent, the photo joins the training set under the terms described for the form above. To protect the service from abuse, we keep a request counter linked to an irreversibly hashed IP address for up to 48 hours.

App crash reports

If the app encounters an error, we ask for your consent before sending a report. Without your consent no report is sent. A report contains: the app version and build number, the platform name and Android version, the device brand, manufacturer and model, the error type and message together with a technical stack trace, and a timestamp. A report contains no photos, camera imagery, location or contact details. It is used solely to diagnose and fix bugs.

3. Legal basis and voluntariness

The basis for processing material submitted through the form is the consent of the data subject — Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Granting consent and submitting material is entirely voluntary. Using the QueenRadar mobile app does not require submitting any material.

The basis for processing crash reports is consent — Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, given separately for each report.

The basis for processing the technical data that accompanies a submission (date, time, hashed IP address) is our legitimate interest — Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (site security and abuse prevention). This data is pseudonymized from the outset and does not allow us to identify the user.

You can withdraw consent at any time — yourself on the withdraw consent page (enter your submission ID and the uploaded material is permanently deleted), or by contacting kontakt@queenradar.pl. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

The legal basis for analyzing a photo in the online testers is performing the service you request — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and for the request limit — our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Retention period

We keep submitted material for as long as needed to train and develop the QueenRadar model, no longer than until consent is withdrawn or the purpose ceases. After that, data is deleted or permanently anonymized.

We keep crash reports for no longer than 12 months from submission — only until the bug has been diagnosed and fixed.

5. Recipients and transfers

We do not sell or share submitted material with third parties for marketing. Data may be entrusted only to trusted processors (e.g. server infrastructure providers) acting on our behalf under a data processing agreement. We do not transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area without appropriate safeguards.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

• access your data and obtain a copy,
• rectify (correct) your data,
• erase your data (“right to be forgotten”),
• restrict processing,
• object to processing,
• data portability,
• withdraw consent at any time,
• lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland).

7. No profiling of individuals

We do not make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing, including profiling. Submitted material is used only to train a model that recognizes objects on a bee comb, not to assess people.

8. Mobile app

The QueenRadar mobile app performs analysis entirely on the user’s device (on-device), offline. The camera image is not sent to our servers, and photos and recordings stay on the device. The app requires no account or sign-in and contains no ads.

The app contacts our server only in the following cases, described in section 2:

• a crash report — only after you consent to that specific report,
• a training-bank submission — only at your explicit request and after you grant consent.

Outside these cases the app sends no data. The app collects no device identifiers or advertising identifiers and contains no analytics tools.

The app is distributed through Google Play. The store processes data related to downloading and updating the app under its own terms, described in Google’s privacy policy; we receive from it only aggregate, anonymous install and crash statistics.

9. Cookies

The queenradar.pl website does not use cookies for tracking or marketing. To remember your theme choice (light/dark) we use only the browser’s local storage (localStorage), which is not sent to the server.

10. Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to update this policy. The current version is always available on this page together with the last-updated date.
