Introduction
SoftDev.Mx develops and operates mobile applications, web platforms and digital products aimed primarily at users over the age of 18. This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we collect, use, store, share and protect your personal data when you interact with our sites, applications or services (collectively, the “Services”).
This policy was drafted to comply with Mexico's Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP), as well as the data privacy requirements demanded by the distribution and authentication platforms we use or integrate with, including the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp).
1. Data controller
Personal data processing is carried out by SoftDev.Mx, a trademark registered with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), domiciled in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, acting as the controller responsible for the proper use, protection and processing of users' personal data.
For any questions or requests related to your privacy, you can contact us at: [email protected].
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to the use of our mobile applications, web platforms, connected systems, contact forms, social media integrations and any other digital channel operated by SoftDev.Mx, including our own SaaS products (WhatsApp Manager, FaceID Enterprise, CryptoVault, SignFlow, C-TPAT Access Control, POS + Inventory and SoftDev Real Estate).
3. Type of information we collect
Depending on how you use our applications or services, we may collect the following types of information:
a) Personal data provided by the user
- Name, email address, phone number or other contact details.
- Account or profile information created within the app.
- Content the user uploads or generates within the service (documents, messages, images), where applicable.
b) Technical or usage data
- Device type, operating system and version.
- IP address and time zone.
- Device or app-installation identifiers.
- Information about usage and activity within the application (events, clicks, navigation, diagnostic/crash logs).
c) Biometric data (only for products that explicitly require it)
Some of our products (for example, FaceID Enterprise or biometric access control systems) process facial templates or fingerprints solely for identity verification or identification purposes, under the express consent of the user or the corporate client operating the platform. This data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is not used for any purpose other than the one authorized.
d) Permissions requested by the app
We only request permissions strictly necessary for the application to function (for example, camera access for biometric scanning, push notifications). We never access sensitive information without explicit consent, and permissions can be revoked at any time from your device settings.
e) Use of data from Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp)
If an application developed by SoftDev.Mx uses services from Meta Platforms, Inc. (such as Facebook Login, the WhatsApp Business API, the Instagram API or others), the information obtained is limited solely to data explicitly authorized by the user through the granted permissions.
This data may include, but is not limited to: name, user identifier, profile photo, email address, WhatsApp number, or other fields permitted by the platform. This information is used exclusively for:
- User authentication.
- Proper functioning of the application (for example, sending and receiving messages via the WhatsApp Business API).
- Communication related to the service.
SoftDev.Mx does not store, share or use this data for purposes other than those authorized, and complies with Meta's Platform Policies and Meta's Platform Terms for Developers.

7. Sharing data with third parties

In these cases, we ensure that such providers maintain adequate security and data protection measures, in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable international standards.
