This Privacy Policy describes how Blivvi.com collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit our website or use our services. This policy applies to information we collect on this website and through any email, text, or other electronic messages between you and this website.

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better. We collect this information from three sources:

  1. Information you provide us directly: We ask for certain information such as your name, email address, phone number, and demographic information when you sign up for a Blivvi.com account, use our services, post content, fill out forms, or communicate with us. We may also retain any messages you send through Blivvi.com.
  2. Information we get from your use of our services: We collect information about your interactions with our services like what pages you visit, the searches you make, and how you use our services. For example we keep track of how you found Blivvi.com, areas of our services you visited, frequency and duration of your visits, content you interacted with, and content you shared with others.
  3. Information from third-party sources: We may collect information that other users or third party services provide about you when they share or verify information with us. For example, if you access our services through a third party service or connect your Blivvi.com account to a third party service, we may receive information about you from that third party.

The information we collect may include:

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share it with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent – We share your information with third parties when you consent to it. For example, if you connect your Blivvi.com account with a third party service.
  • With service providers – We share your information with vendors and agents working on our behalf to provide our services. This includes customer support, payment processing, marketing, and security operations. These providers only access and use your information as necessary to perform services for us and maintain contractual confidentiality.
  • To comply with laws – We share your information with law enforcement, government agencies, courts, or authorized third parties when compelled by subpoena, court order, or other legal process. We may also share it when necessary to comply with laws, regulations, or enforceable governmental requests.
  • To address emergencies – We share information with others if we believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
  • For business transfers – If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will continue to ensure your information is protected and notify you before any transfer. The acquiring entity will assume the rights and obligations in this Privacy Policy.
  • With affiliates – We may share information with current or future corporate subsidiaries and affiliates for research, marketing, and other purposes in line with this policy.
  • With your direction – We share your information with third parties when you ask us to do so. For example, if you authorize a third party application or website to access your Blivvi.com account.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

Data Security

We employ measures designed to protect your information against loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These include firewalls, data encryption, physical access controls to our data centers, and site authentication and authorization. We also enforce physical access controls to buildings and files. Our services are audited regularly for PCI DSS compliance.

However, no internet-based site can be 100% secure and we cannot be held responsible for unauthorized access of information provided to us. You are also responsible for securing your password and other account credentials.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are restricted to users 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems. Contact us if you believe we have mistakenly collected personal information from a child under 13.

Retention of Personal Information

We store your personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for legal, operational and other legitimate business purposes. We periodically review our data to determine if retention periods remain appropriate. When your personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or destroy it.

We participate in interest-based advertising and online tracking. This includes:

Remarketing – We advertise our services across the internet and use remarketing and similar tools to display interest-based ads to you. Third party vendors, including Google and Facebook, display our ads to you on websites across the internet based on your past interactions with us. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

Analytics – We use Google Analytics, Mixpanel and other analytics providers to analyze usage and traffic data to improve our services and your experience. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you through cookie settings.

Third party tracking – We participate in behavior-based advertising and use third party tracking tools like pixels and tags to display interest-based ads to you across the internet. You can control the collection and use of your data for interest based advertising from participating companies through an opt out tool from the Network Advertising Initiative. Or you can opt out by adjusting cookie privacy settings in your browser.

GDPR Disclosures for Individuals in Europe

If you reside in a country in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain privacy rights and protections under the law regarding the processing of your personal data. This section outlines additional disclosures required under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Swiss data protection law.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

If you are an individual in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using personal data will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal data from you only where:

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (continued)

    • We need the personal data to perform a contract with you;
    • The processing is in our legitimate interest and does not override your rights and interests;
    • We have your consent to do so;
    • We need to process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation; or
    • We need to process the personal data to protect vital interests.

If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal data is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data).

Similarly, if we collect and use your personal data in reliance on our legitimate interests and those interests are not obvious from the context, we will let you know what they are at the relevant time.

If we intend to further process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which we collected the personal data, we will provide you with information regarding that purpose before processing begins.

Sensitive Personal Data

We do not seek to collect or otherwise process your sensitive personal data, such as data concerning health, race, religion, political opinions, or philosophical beliefs, without your explicit consent.

International Data Transfers

If you are located in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside your region, such as in the United States. We utilize standard contract clauses as a safeguard for transferring the personal data we collect in the EEA, UK and Switzerland.

  • You can object to processing of your personal data.
  • You can ask us to restrict processing of your personal data.

We may extend the response time for complex or numerous requests as permitted by law. We will notify you of any such extensions.
