U.S State Privacy Notice

U.S. State Privacy Notice Effective:

We’ve composed this U.S. State Privacy Notice (“Notice”) to furnish additional details for residents of California, Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut. Users in these states possess certain privacy rights as stipulated under state law. Our Privacy Principles and the privacy controls we extend to all users are aligned with these laws—this Notice ensures we meet state-specific obligations. For instance, all users can request a copy of their data, ask for deletion, and manage their privacy settings in the app. For a comprehensive understanding, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Let’s begin with a summary of your rights and delve into the specifics subsequently.

You possess the right to know whether we sell or share your data and to opt-out if we do. Great news! We don’t sell or share your data as defined by these state laws.

You have the right to receive an overview of the personal information we collect, how we utilize it, and which service providers we disclose it to.

You can request access to your data, procure a copy, and request us to correct or delete your personal information.

Your authorized agent can always reach out to us if they have a query on your behalf.

You may have additional specific privacy rights in your state. We address those in the following state-specific sections.

By the way, we’ll update this Notice every 12 months and notify you when we’ve made updates in line with our Privacy Policy.

Your Rights

Let’s dive into your rights.

Right to understand and correct your personal information we collect. You have the right to demand specifics on the precise personal information we’ve gathered about you and the right to rectify inaccurate data. We present this information in our Privacy Center, but you can also obtain this information by getting in touch with us. Additionally, you can request a copy of your data here or directly through your settings. You can also access and modify most of your fundamental account data right in your settings. You can also utilize Download My Data to get a copy of your information in a portable format, allowing you to transfer or store it wherever you wish.

Right to know with whom we share your data. We don’t sell your data or share your data for cross-context behavioral advertising, but we do share your information with service providers for valid business purposes. For instance, we utilize service providers to store and host your data. See the Sharing Your Information section below for more specifics.

Right to deletion. You hold the right to request the deletion of your data, unless an exception applies. Examples of exceptions include instances when we need to retain data to fulfill legal obligations, detect fraud, investigate reports of abuse or other Terms of Service violations, or resolve security issues. Upon your verified request, we’ll delete your personal information (unless an exception applies) and will instruct our service providers to do the same. See the How Long We Keep Your Information section of our Privacy Policy for more specifics.

Right to a prompt response. You have the right to make two free requests in any 12-month period. We will respond to your request within 45 days, and in more complicated cases, we may extend our response time by another 45 days. Our support team is highly efficient, so they tend to respond much quicker. The easiest way to acquire information is by following the instructions above, but you or your authorized agent can also email [email protected].

Non-Discrimination. It goes without saying, but we will not discriminate against you when you exercise any of your rights. In fact, we encourage you to scrutinize your privacy settings closely and reach out to us with your queries.

The most straightforward way to exercise your rights is by logging into your account so we can verify your identity. You can also email us, but then we’ll require some additional information to authenticate your identity and verify your account ownership.

We Don’t Sell Your Data

We don’t sell your data and we don’t share your data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. To maintain operations at Nivafy HQ, we do present ads. In the event that any personal information is disclosed in order to display those ads, it would only be disclosed to our service provider(s) working on our behalf. Service providers are not permitted to use your personal information for their own purposes. We strive to make these ads relevant and engaging. Our Support Site provides information on do not track, advertising, and interest preferences.

Information We Collect

As outlined in our Privacy Policy and How We Use Your Information page, we collect personal information for a broad array of purposes, but the main reason we collect information is to deliver the best possible products and services. Privacy by design is our fundamental approach, meaning we ensure not to collect more information than necessary or collect information for purposes that are unrelated, different, or incompatible with what’s stated in our Privacy Policy.

In the last 12 months, we’ve collected the following personal information:

Identifiers, such as your name, display name, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, IP address, email address, username, or other similar identifiers. These are primarily used to deliver our services, for instance, to create your account and send Nivafy a Nivaverse company messages to your actual friends.
Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records provisions, such as your name, address, telephone number, payment number (last 4 digits only). We use this information, for example, to facilitate your purchase of our products. Please note that some personal information in this category may overlap with other categories.
Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, such as your gender and age. The primary purpose for collecting this information is to verify your age, ensure your eligibility to use our services, and to show you more relevant ads and content.
Commercial information, such as products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. For instance, we may retain this information when you purchase items through the Nivafy a Nivaverse company Store or when you engage with ads on our platform.
Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as session logs, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement. We may, for example, store your search history when you are browsing through Nivafy a Nivaverse company.
Geolocation data, such as your physical location. Nivafy a Nivaverse company uses your device’s location to offer certain location-based features. We also use geolocation data to serve you more personalized ads in the app. We may share this information with our service providers to facilitate our services, but we don’t sell or share your precise geolocation with any third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising or their own purposes.
Audio, electronic, visual, or similar information, such as visuals and other content you create. We collect the visuals you create, and store them as applicable laws allow us to do so.
Inferences drawn from other personal information. This information might be used to create a profile reflecting your preferences and characteristics. For instance, we’ll use this information to build a list of your interests and preferences to deliver you more relevant ads or content.
Sensitive personal information. With your consent, we collect some information considered sensitive, like your precise geolocation. We use this information to enable features that rely on this information. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information with any third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising or their own purposes.

This data may be collected when you provide it to us, when you use our services, or when we receive it from third parties. For more details on the sources, see the Information We Collect section in our Privacy Policy.

For your information, personal information does not include publicly available information from government records and de-identified or aggregated consumer information.

Sharing Your Information

While we don’t “share” your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we may share your personal information for business purposes or at your direction. For instance, we share your personal information with our data hosting and storage providers. We have agreements with our service providers that restrict them to use your information for specific purposes only and obligate them to ensure its confidentiality.

In the past 12 months, we’ve disclosed categories A-I for business purposes or at your direction with our affiliates, service providers, and third parties. For more information on the third parties we share data with, please refer to the How We Share Information section in our Privacy Policy.

Right to Opt-out of Sale

This one is straightforward. We don’t sell your data, so we don’t process or collect metrics on opt-out requests for the sale of consumer data.

It’s important to note that users can download their data, including any stored information, and delete their data either in the app or by deleting their account, using our self-serve tools.
