This United States Regional Privacy Notice is for people living in the United States and supplements the Nivafy a Nivaverse Company Privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information. It also describes how to exercise your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, the Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. We call those laws collectively the U.S. Privacy Laws.

We collect data across three primary categories:

  • Data you provide to us.
  • Data collected when you use our services.
  • Data obtained from third parties.

Let’s dive a bit deeper into each category.

Data You Provide

When you engage with our services, we collect the data you choose to share with us. For instance, setting up an account with us requires details like your name, username, password, email address, phone number, and date of birth. You might also provide additional information that will be publicly visible, such as a profile picture. If you choose to utilize our e-commerce capabilities, we will require your payment details, like debit or credit card number and related account information.

Moreover, we gather the content you share via our services, including posts, comments, and messages. Bear in mind, users who see your content may save or share it outside of our platform. Thus, we advise you to exercise discretion when sharing information and content on Nivafy a Nivaverse company: don’t share what you wouldn’t want to be saved or shared by others.

When you reach out to our support team or communicate with us in any way, we collect any information you willingly provide or that we need to answer your questions.

Data Collected When You Use Our Services

As you utilize our services, we gather information regarding your usage and interaction with them. We track, for instance, the types of content you view or engage with, the features you use, the ads you watch and for how long, and your overall activity on Nivafy a Nivaverse company. Here’s a more comprehensive explanation of the data we gather as you use our services:

Usage Information: We collect data about your activities on our platform. This could include:

  • How you interact with our services, such as which features you use, the types of content you view, engage with or share, and any search queries you make.
  • How you communicate with other Nivafy a Nivaverse company users, like their usernames, the timing and frequency of your communications, the number of messages you exchange, your most contacted users, and your interactions with their content (such as when you open a message or take a screenshot).

When using our services, you might engage with our creative tools and camera to create and share a range of content, including posts, comments, stories, and more. We collect data about the content you create or share on our platform and your engagement with our creative tools. For specific content, this may include information derived from the content of the image, video, or audio. For instance, if you post a story about hiking, we might show you more hiking-related content. We might also collect metadata related to the content, like the timestamp and viewer data.

Device Data

We collect information from and about the devices you use. This could include data about your hardware and software such as the model, operating system, device memory, unique application identifiers, installed apps, unique device identifiers, browser type, installed keyboards, language, battery level, time zone, and device usage data.
