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.
The categories of personal data Rivo collects and the legal basis for its processing are set out below:
Contact Information such as emails and other forms of digital communication may also be processed to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. Pursuant to GDPR Article 6(1)(a), Rivo will acquire your consent prior to processing Contact Information.
We may also process your personal data for additional reasons as they become apparent to comply with the law, or if it is in Rivo’s legitimate interests so long as that interest is not overridden by your rights. This can include but is not limited to protecting the Services and you against illegal activity, inappropriate behavior and actions that violate Rivo’s Terms.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling and prevailing legitimate grounds for the processing as described in Article 21 of the GDPR; in particular, if the personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or if personal data is required for the provision of the Service and you still wish to use the Service;
- A Right to file a Complaint. You have the right to file a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority in your jurisdiction;
- A Right to Restriction of Processing of your Personal Data. You have the right to obtain restrictions on the processing of your personal data as described in Article 18 of the GDPR;

18. 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.
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, we will promptly delete or anonymize any other personal data and confidential information Rivo has on file, in line with our legal obligations. Where 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 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.
19. 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.
20. Security of Site
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 Rivo is at your own risk. You should only access the Site within a secure environment.
