Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy.

Introduction

Vyvo (hereinafter referred to as “Vyvo”) is committed to safeguarding its users’ privacy (hereinafter referred to as “Your” “You”) accessing its website (i.e. www.vyvo.com) and has provided this Privacy Policy to familiarize you with the manner in which Vyvo collects, uses and discloses your information collected throughout the Website. The Policy applies to all information that Vyvo has about you and your account. If you do not agree to or wish to be bound by the terms and conditions of this privacy policy, please do not proceed further to use this website.

This Privacy Policy has three purposes:
1. To explain how we use the information that you share with us in order to have an excellent product and provide you a great experience;
2. To make you understand which data are collected with your authorization and what we do and we don’t do with them;
3. To make us accountable for the protection of your rights and your private life according to this policy.

All the information collected are related to the provision of services offered by Vyvo and its functionalities. Generally, there are two categories of information we collect:
1. information that we need to have to be able to use our services;
2. information that we can use to provide additional functionalities and improved experiences if you choose to share these information.

The first category includes:
a. Information of registration, included name, date of birth, address and other information provided at the moment of signing up;
b. General and not specific information about the geo-position, coming from the IP address. Our licenses to offer services are specific, according to the position, so we need to know in which country you are located;
c. Technical information, they include the kind of browser and device you are using.

The second category includes the information that allows us to offer you additional functions. We never receive such information unless you decide to share them with us. That’s how it works.
Here are some examples:

a. Your specific position: we will never obtain or use the specific position of your device before getting your explicit authorization;
b. Your pictures: we will be able to access only the pictures specifically chosen, and we will never make a scanning or an import of the pictures. This allows you to choose single images in order to change the profile image. It’s possible to interrupt the sharing of the pictures and withdraw the access at any time;
c. Your contacts: we will never make a scanning or an import of the contacts unless you ask us. In that case, we will only use the contact information in order to provide you a better service or communicate information related to the services.

The distinction between these two categories is important. The information in the first category is mandatory to use Vyvo and its services.
If you accept our privacy policy, you give us the right to collect this information and use them for the described purposes. The information of the second category is only collected if you give us the explicit authorization to do so. For this second category of information, we will ask for authorization before accessing them; we will explain how we will use them, if you give us the permission, we will use them only for the purpose described, and you will be able to change idea and revoke this authorization at any time.


The acceptance of our privacy policy doesn’t mean that you give us the authorization to access or use the information of the second category; we simply want to inform you that one day we could ask for your permission.

This Policy should be at all times read along with the Terms of Use of the Website.

Security How can You exercise your rights provided under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)


Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectify, port and erase your data. You also have the right to object (view below) and restrict certain processing of your data. This includes:
a. The right to object to our processing of your data for direct marketing, which you can exercise by submitting your request to our customer services;
b. The right to object to our processing of your data where we are performing a task in the public interest or pursuing our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

The Right to Object

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), residents of the European Union have the legal right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data where the legal basis for that processing is:
a. The legitimate interests of Vyvo or of a third party or;
b. Tasks carried out in the public interest. They can also object at any time to the processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes, regardless of the legal basis relied upon.

How can I submit an objection?

You can submit an objection by submitting a ticket to our customer care from your Back-Office within the subject “I have a different objection to the use of my data”.

What happens when I object to Vyvo’s processing of my data?

Our team will review your objection. Please make sure you have provided the information requested in the ticket to help us review your objection properly. We’ll then let you know whether your objection has been granted or not and provide you with the reasons for our decision. For example, we may deny an objection (other than to direct marketing) if it doesn’t pertain to processing pursuant to a legitimate interest (or public interest) as explained above.

What happens if my objection is successful?

If your objection is successful, we will cease processing your information pursuant to your objection. In addition, if your objection is successful, you have a right to request the erasure of your data under article 17(1)(c) of the GDPR. You can make such request at the same time as submitting an objection via the free text field of the objection form. We will consider several factors when assessing an objection including your reasonable expectations; the benefits and risks to you, us, other users, or third parties; and other available means to achieve the same purpose that may be less invasive and do not require disproportional effort.

Can my objection be denied?

Yes. There may be several reasons for this:
a. For processing other than direct marketing, we rely on another legal basis than our legitimate interests (or that of a third party) or tasks carried out in the public interests;
b. Your objection is not sufficiently grounded;
c. After carrying out a balancing test, we consider that our legitimate interests (or that of a third party) are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

Data retention, account deactivation and deletion


We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services or until your account is deleted. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. When you delete your account, you won’t be able to recover that information later. If you don’t want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the products or services, you can deactivate your account instead. To delete your account at any time, please, submit a ticket from your back office.

How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm?


We access, preserve and share your information with regulators, law enforcement or others:
a. In response to a legal request, if we have a good-faith belief that the law requires us to do so. We can also respond to legal requests when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards;

b.
When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of the Products, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or Products), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

Information we receive about you can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also retain information from accounts disabled for terms violations for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term violations.
