Privacy policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Obsiva is an app for writing inspection reports with photos and voice. This page explains what data it handles, why, who it is shared with and how you can control it. If this translation and the Spanish version differ, the Spanish version prevails.

1. Who is responsible

Obsiva is operated by Joseph Alberto Morthimer León Lau, RUC (Peruvian tax ID) 10730332578, with address at Calle Los Olivos Mz C Lte 16, Urb. La Alameda, Trujillo, Peru. For any privacy question, write to joseph@leonlau.pe.

2. What data we handle

Your account

• A random identifier created the first time you open the app. You don't need to give a name or email to start.
• Your email address, only if you choose to link it to sign in on another phone or for Pro. We use it to send you the sign-in code.
• Your profile: name, company, logo, signature, country, measurement system and report template.

The content you create

• Projects, reports, observations, photos, voice notes and their transcripts.
• Everything is stored on your phone. With Pro we also keep a copy on our servers for backup and sync.
• When you add a photo we resize it and remove its metadata, including GPS location if present. We only read the photo's date, on the phone, to keep photos in order.

App usage

• Usage events (for example, “report shared”), language, country, plan and app version, linked to your identifier.
• If you installed the app from a report's link, the install source reported by Google Play.
• How many observations you process with AI, to apply each plan's limits.

Purchases

• Your subscription status, reported by Google Play and RevenueCat. We never receive your card or payment details.

People who receive your reports

• Free-plan PDFs include a link and QR code to Obsiva. If someone opens them, we may record which report it came from, the date and the browser type. We don't record who they are.

What we don't do

• We don't access your location, your contacts or your advertising ID.
• We don't show ads or sell data.
• We use the microphone only while you record a voice note, and the camera or gallery only when you add a photo.

3. AI features

When you use AI, we send Google (Gemini, on Google Cloud) the observation's photos, its voice notes and the text needed to transcribe the audio, write the observation, summarize the report or translate it. Under Google Cloud's terms, Google does not use this data to train its models.

On the free plan, photos and audio are uploaded only for that processing and deleted when it finishes; if deletion fails, they are removed automatically within 24 hours.

Text suggested by AI may contain mistakes. You review it and are responsible for the final report.

4. What we use your data for

• Creating your account and providing the service: generating, backing up and syncing your reports.
• Processing what you send with AI.
• Managing your subscription and each plan's limits.
• Measuring how the app is used and where installs come from, to improve it.
• Answering your questions and meeting legal obligations.

5. Who we share data with

Only with providers that work on our behalf and may not use your data for their own purposes:

Also, when you share a report, whoever receives it sees what it contains. We may disclose data if a competent authority requires it under the law.

6. International transfers

These providers store or process data outside Peru, mainly in the United States. By using Obsiva you agree to that transfer, which is limited to what is needed to provide the service.

7. How long we keep data

• On your phone: until you delete it or uninstall the app.
• Cloud copy (Pro): while you have Pro. If Pro ends, we keep it for 90 days in case you come back, then delete it. What's on your phone is not touched.
• What you delete in the app: erased from our servers after 30 days.
• Accounts without an email that go unused: deleted after 60 days without use.
• Files sent to AI on the free plan: deleted when processing ends, within 24 hours at most.
• Usage data: while your account exists; deleted if you ask us to delete it.
• Purchase records: for as long as tax rules require.

8. Your rights

Under Peru's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 29733) you can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its processing, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Write to joseph@leonlau.pe from the email linked to your account, or include the identifier shown in the app. We reply within the time limits set by law.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can file a complaint with Peru's National Authority for Personal Data Protection (Ministry of Justice and Human Rights).

9. Deleting your account

In the app, go to Settings → Account & backup → Delete account. Your account, your cloud copy, your usage data and what's on the phone are deleted right away. If you have Pro, cancel the subscription in Google Play first: deleting the account doesn't cancel it.

If you no longer have the app, write to joseph@leonlau.pe from the email linked to your account with the subject “Delete account”, and we delete it within 30 days. Either way we only keep the purchase records the law requires.

10. Security

Data travels encrypted (HTTPS) and, on our servers, each account can only access its own data. No system is infallible; if an incident affects your data, we will notify you as the law requires.

11. Other people's data in your reports

Your reports may include photos or names of other people, such as clients, workers or visitors. You decide what to include and who to share it with, and for that data we act on your behalf. Make sure you are allowed to record and share it.

12. Minors

Obsiva is a professional tool and is not intended for anyone under 18.

13. Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes, we will let you know in the app before they take effect. The date at the top shows the current version.
