Privacy Policy
We take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how vivaao (collectively referred to as "we" or "us") collects, uses, shares, and processes your data.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify you, either directly or indirectly. This includes anonymous data linked to information that can identify you directly or indirectly. Personal data does not include data that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated—that is, data that can no longer be used to identify you, whether used alone or in combination with other information.
Ensuring Security and Protection
We adhere to principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; we process only the data necessary to achieve specific purposes and implement technical and administrative measures to ensure data security. We use personal data to verify accounts and user activity and to ensure security and protection—for example, by monitoring for fraud and investigating suspicious or potentially illegal activities, or violations of our Terms of Use or policies. Such processing is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the security of our products and services.
The following describes the types of personal data we may collect and how we use them:
