CURAA – Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to CURAA (“we”, “our”, “us”). CURAA provides AI-powered pet behaviour and health monitoring through wearable smart collars, mobile companion applications, and connected software platforms. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information and your pet’s data. By using CURAA, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Veterinary & Health Disclaimer

CURAA is a wellness observation platform. AI insights, activity timelines, and behavioural summaries are designed for trend tracking and pet health understanding. CURAA does not provide veterinary diagnostics, emergency detection, or clinical intervention. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for medical concerns.

3. Customer & Product Data Collection

When you use CURAA as a customer, we collect only the necessary information required to deliver your pet's health insights and manage your account.

4. Research & Development (R&D) Data

To continuously improve our AI models for behaviour recognition and vocal pattern analysis across diverse breeds, CURAA conducts ongoing research and development:

• Anonymized Prototype Data: During prototype testing and opted-in research phases, high-frequency motion telemetry and audio samples may be collected to refine behavioural categorization algorithms.
• Data De-identification: R&D data is stripped of all personal identifying information (such as owner name or contact details) before processing.
• Model Optimization: Collected datasets are used strictly for AI algorithm training, model optimization, and improving wellness detection accuracy for all pet parents.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide personalized activity, rest, and behavioural trends in your companion app
• Train and optimize AI models for accurate pet behaviour recognition
• Categorize daily wellness patterns (such as sleep quality, vocalizations, and activity levels)
• Maintain hardware reliability and diagnose app or firmware performance issues

6. Data Transmission & Storage

Curaa prioritizes on-device processing. Collar data synchronizes with your smartphone using low-power Bluetooth connections. Aggregated summaries are stored securely in cloud infrastructure to enable long-term wellness timelines across your devices.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal or pet health data. We may share anonymized, aggregated datasets with research institutions or veterinary AI partners solely to advance animal behavioural science and improve detection models.

8. Data Security

We implement physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect customer records, app data, and device synchronization against unauthorized access or modification.

9. Data Retention

We retain account data and behavioural timelines for as long as your account remains active. Anonymized R&D datasets are retained strictly as needed for ongoing AI model accuracy auditing.

10. Your Rights

You may:

• Access or export your pet's behavioural summaries and profile data
• Request deletion of your account and personal information
• Opt out of optional research dataset contributions

11. Children’s Privacy

CURAA services are intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from children.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as our product and firmware capabilities evolve. Updates will be communicated via our website or companion app notifications.

13. International Data Transfers

Where anonymized datasets are processed with global cloud infrastructure or research partners, CURAA ensures compliance with applicable data protection standards.

14. Consent

By using CURAA applications and devices, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal and pet data as outlined in this Policy.

15. Third-Party Analytics

CURAA may use anonymized app telemetry with trusted service providers to monitor application stability and performance. No personal identifiers are shared.

16. Legal Disclosure

CURAA may disclose data if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, including court orders from competent jurisdiction.
