Privacy Notice
Effective date: April 20, 2026 Data controller: Francisco Javier Vera Gómez (Persona física con actividad empresarial y profesional), Mexican tax ID (RFC) VEGF911128LR4, with domicile at Puebla, Puebla, C.P. 72190, México, holder of the trademark Moradas App (registration IMPI 2416686). Referred to as "Moradas," "we," "us," or "our." Privacy contact: [email protected]
This Privacy Notice is issued under the Mexican Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties ("LFPDPPP"), its Regulations and the Privacy Notice Guidelines. It describes how we collect, use, disclose, transfer and retain your personal data when you use Moradas's services, including our mobile application, backend services, hardware access controllers and marketing website (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
This English version is a convenience translation. The authoritative version is in Spanish; in the event of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.
1. Who this Notice applies to
This Notice applies to:
- Website visitors who browse our site or submit inquiries.
- End users — residents, property managers, security guards, staff, and other individuals — who use the Moradas mobile app and related services.
- People whose data is submitted by others, such as guests added through visitor passes or residents added by administrators.
If you use Moradas through a property or community that administers your account (an "Administrator"), that Administrator may control certain settings and may have access to information associated with your account in accordance with their own policies. The Administrator acts as an independent data controller with respect to information it submits about third parties; Moradas acts as a data processor in that relationship under Article 49 of the LFPDPPP Regulations.
2. Personal data we process
A. Data you provide
- Identification and contact data: name, phone number, language preference and, where applicable, email, job title or profile photo.
- Communications and content: chat messages, announcements, documents, images or other files submitted through the Service.
- Guest and visitor data: a guest's name and phone number when you create a visitor pass.
- Community data: community name or address when you create or join a community.
- Contact form submissions: name, email and message.
- Guard workflow data: details submitted when registering an access event.
B. Data collected automatically
- Device and technical data: device platform, app version and push notification tokens required to deliver notifications.
- Network and security data: IP addresses and request metadata, collected for security, abuse prevention and rate limiting.
- Crash and diagnostic data: error reports, performance metrics and device information. In production, our mobile app may use session replay tools to help diagnose issues; session replay may capture interactions such as taps and navigation. We apply reasonable controls to limit the capture of sensitive information in diagnostic data.
C. Permission-based data
- Camera: to scan QR codes for access control.
- Contacts: to select a guest's phone number when creating a visitor pass. We do not upload or store your contact list.
- Location (while in use): for community features such as discovery and verification. We do not continuously or background-track your location.
- Bluetooth: for hardware controller setup and offline access features.
- Photos and files: to upload images or documents.
You may deny or revoke these permissions at any time from your device settings. Some features may not work without them.
D. Data generated through use of the Service
- Access control records: entry and exit events, outcomes and related metadata.
- Billing records: charges, payments, balances and statements generated within the Service.
- Reservation records: facility bookings.
- Community and moderation records: membership status, invitations and moderation actions.
E. Sensitive personal data
As a general rule, we do not request or process sensitive personal data as defined in Article 3, section VI of the LFPDPPP. We do not collect biometric, health, ethnic origin, political opinion, religious belief or sexual orientation data. If we later introduce features that involve sensitive data (for example, optional facial recognition), we will request your express written consent before collecting it and this Notice will be updated accordingly.
3. Purposes of processing
A. Primary purposes (necessary to provide the Service)
These purposes give rise to and are necessary for the legal relationship between you and Moradas. You cannot opt out of these purposes without discontinuing use of the Service:
- Authenticating you via one-time code (OTP) sent to your phone number.
- Creating, operating and maintaining your account and profile.
- Operating access control, visitor passes, communications, billing records, reservations, community features and guard workflows.
- Maintaining audit and security logs, and preventing abuse, fraud and unauthorized access.
- Responding to inquiries and providing technical support.
- Complying with applicable legal obligations (tax, administrative, judicial and data protection).
B. Secondary purposes (not necessary to provide the Service)
- Sending informational communications or product updates that may be of interest to you.
- Performing aggregated statistical analysis to improve reliability and performance.
If you do not want your data used for these secondary purposes, email [email protected] with the subject "Objection to secondary purposes." Your objection will not result in denial of the Service or termination of our relationship.
4. Information submitted by Administrators
Administrators and authorized staff may add or update information about other individuals (residents, personnel or guards) to operate their property or community, including names, phone numbers and unit or residence details.
If you are an Administrator, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority and consents required under the LFPDPPP to submit such data to Moradas and make it available within the Service. Moradas processes that data under the Administrator's instructions, as a data processor under Article 3, section IX of the LFPDPPP.
If you believe your data was submitted without authorization or is inaccurate, contact your property or community Administrator first. You may also contact us at [email protected].

Recipients are bound by contractual confidentiality and data-processing obligations consistent with this Notice.
We do not sell personal data.
6. How to exercise ARCO rights
You have the right to Access, Rectify, Cancel or Object to the processing of your personal data (ARCO rights), as well as to limit the use or disclosure of your data and to revoke any consent you may have granted.

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) at home.inai.org.mx.

Once these periods elapse, data is blocked and subsequently deleted, or de-identified for aggregate statistical purposes.
9. Security measures
We apply reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to protect personal data against damage, loss, alteration, destruction or unauthorized processing, including access controls, encryption in transit (TLS), credential encryption and cryptographic signatures for access-control flows. No system is infallible; you use the Service accepting the inherent risks of internet transmission.
In the event of a security breach that significantly affects your rights, we will notify you without undue delay, pursuant to Article 20 of the LFPDPPP, so you may take appropriate measures.
10. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies strictly necessary for its operation (for example, to remember your language preference). You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies; certain features may not work properly as a result. The mobile app does not use advertising cookies or cross-app tracking identifiers.
11. Minors
The Service is not directed to persons under 18 years of age and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If a minor uses the Service with the authorization of a parent or legal guardian, the adult is responsible for the use of the Service and for any data provided. If you believe a minor has provided data without their guardian's consent, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may update this Notice to reflect legal, operational or Service changes. The current version will be available on our website at all times. Where changes are material, we will notify you by a reasonable means (email, in-app notification or prominent site notice) at least 15 calendar days before the changes take effect.
