If you are from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or other jurisdictions in which substantially similar laws apply, such as the UK, Rivo’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal data as described in this Privacy Policy depends on the type of personal data Rivo collects and the context in which it collects it.

In many cases, third parties may collect personal data about online activities over time and across different websites and services. Rivo strongly recommends that you carefully read and consent to each third-party privacy policy before using the Service. Rivo may provide personal data to certain categories of third parties to perform work that is necessary for Rivo to provide the Services, including:

‍

‍

You may be able to opt-out of some or all of the ways in which personal data is processed, or request the deletion of certain personal data, except where the personal data is necessary or vital for:

‍

  • the performance of contractual obligations, such as our Terms or certain other legal obligations;

‍

To request to review, update or delete personal data, please fill and submit a data subject access request or contact us using the contact information found below. 

‍

10. DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION

‍

While Rivo is a United States based company, the data provided through the Service may be stored and processed by third parties in countries around the world. You authorize Rivo and third parties acting on our behalf to process your data in any country of their choosing, which may cause your data, including personal data, to be subject to privacy protections and legal rights that may not be equivalent to those in your country. 

‍

We have implemented measures to protect your personal data, including by using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers and partners. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal data that they process originating from the EEA, UK or Switzerland in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses and further details can be provided upon request. 

‍

Rivo will only keep your personal data and/or business information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. 

‍

You may change the information in your account or terminate your account with Rivo at any time by logging into your account settings and updating your account. Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our databases. However, we may retain some information to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal requirements. 

‍

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data and/or your relationship with Rivo comes to an end, we will promptly return, delete or anonymize any other personal data and confidential information Rivo has on file, in line with our legal obligations. Where returning, deleting or anonymizing your personal data is not possible, Rivo will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. Any personal data that has been requested to be returned, deleted or anonymized and is stored on a data backup will be held only temporarily and automatically purged after set expiration periods. Please email privacy@rivo.io to request deletion of any personal data of yours that Rivo holds.

‍

11. DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE

‍

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web or device setting that allows you to request that receivers of personal data stop their tracking activities. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser or device or use alternative consumer choice mechanisms, your browser or device sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug-in providers and other web services you encounter to stop tracking your activity. Currently, there are no DNT technology standards, and it is possible that there may never be any DNT technology standards. As a result, Rivo does not respond to DNT requests. 

‍

12. CHILDREN

‍

Rivo complies with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and all other applicable laws and regulations concerning children and the Internet. The Service is not directed to children under the age of 18 and Rivo does not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 18. If we learn that we inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age of 18, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete the data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who you believe provided Rivo with personal data without your consent, please contact us at privacy@rivo.io.

‍

If you are a resident of the EEA below the age of consent in your country, Rivo shall comply with applicable consent gathering standards required by law in your jurisdiction.

‍

13. CALIFORNIA “SHINE THE LIGHT” RIGHT

‍

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code 1798.83 grants you the right to request disclosure of the categories of personal data we control and have provided to third parties, and the names and addresses of these third parties, for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make this request, please contact us using the contact information set forth below.

‍

Please note that you may only make this request once per year.

‍

14. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

‍

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.120 permits you to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal data to third parties. Currently, Rivo does not sell your personal data to third parties except as directly requested with your consent and as such no opt-out of the sale of such personal data is necessary. Although Rivo does not sell your personal data to third parties without consent, Rivo does provide a right to opt out of third-party sharing to all our users. Note that certain essential Service features may rely on third-party sharing and by exercising your right to opt-out you may not have access to these features. If you have any other questions about our privacy practices, please email us at privacy@rivo.io.

‍

15. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR BUSINESS TRANSITION 

‍

In the event of, or in preparation for, a change of ownership or control of Rivo or a business transition such as the sale of some or all Rivo’s assets, we may disclose and/or transfer your personal data to third parties who will have the right to continue to collect and use such data in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

‍

16. SECURITY

‍

We are committed to ensuring that your data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect and process. Despite our safeguards and security, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal or modify your information. Transmission of personal data to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

‍

17. CONTACT PREFERENCES

‍

Rivo communicates with you through the Service itself but may also communicate with you through your email address or other digital methods to conduct the Service and to respond to support requests or comments. If you have provided us with your email address and would like to change the email preferences we associate with you (for example, unsubscribing from receiving certain types of email) you may do so by clicking a link within certain types of emails that we send to you or, if no link is available, by replying with “unsubscribe” in the email title or body. On rare occasions, some types of email are necessary for the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from if you continue to use the Service.

‍

18. UPDATES

‍

Rivo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify this Privacy Policy at any time (each an “Update”) and shall make each Update available on our Website, indicated by an updated “Revised” date. You are deemed to accept an Update by continuing to use the Service. Unless Rivo states otherwise, an Update is automatically effective 30 days after posting on the Website, except in such case where an Update is immaterial to any of your legal rights or legal obligations of Rivo and such Update is made only to correct a typographical, formatting or grammar inaccuracy, and in such case, an Update is effective immediately after posting on the Website.
