Through the website, we currently collect:

4. Personal Data the App Will Collect (Future)
Once the Bíneva app launches, it may additionally process: account credentials, profile information, content you publish (such as provider listings or photos), in-app messages, optional location data, device identifiers, and push notification tokens. We will inform you and update this policy before processing any of those categories.
5. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process your personal data on the following GDPR Article 6 bases:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): joining the waitlist and any future marketing communications.
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): providing the future app account and its features.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): responding to contact requests, preventing abuse and spam, securing our systems.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): complying with applicable laws.
6. Retention

7. Recipients and Processors
We share personal data only with carefully selected processors who act on our behalf, including: our hosting and database provider, our email delivery provider, and — once the app is live — mobile app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play) and push notification providers. We prefer EU-based processing wherever possible.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website currently uses only essential cookies required for the site to function. We do not run third-party analytics or advertising trackers. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will request your consent first. The future app will use device storage equivalents (such as secure tokens) strictly necessary to keep you signed in.
