Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes Vidivici's policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. Vidivici receives your information through our various web sites, SMS, APIs, applications, services and third-parties ("Services"). For example, you send us information when you use Vidivici from our web site or via one of our partners’ web sites. When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country that you reside in or create information from, your information may be used by Vidivici in the United Kingdom or any other country where Vidivici operates.
If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@vidivici.com.
Information Collection and Use
We collect and use your information to provide and measure use of our Services and improve them over time.
Information Collected Upon Registration
When you create or reconfigure a Vidivici account, you provide some personal information, such as your name, username, password, and email address. Some of this information, for example, your name and username, is listed publicly on our Services, including on your profile page and in search results. Some Services, such as search, public user profiles and views, do not require registration.
Additional Information
You may provide us with additional information to make public, such as a short biography, your location, or a picture. You may customize your account with information such as a mobile phone number for the delivery of SMS messages or your address book so that we can help you find Vidivici users you know. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services or to market to you. You may unsubscribe from these messages by following the instructions contained within the messages or the instructions on our web site. If you email us, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request. Providing the additional information described in this section is entirely optional.
Views and other Public Information
A significant part of our Service is concerned with helping you share your views with the world. Such information you provide to us is information you are asking us to make public. This includes not only your views, but also the people you follow and many other bits of information. Your public information is broadly and instantly disseminated. For example, your public views are searchable by many search engines. You should be careful about all information that will be made public by Vidivici.
Log Data
Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, the referring domain, pages visited, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with our website, applications and advertisements, may also be included in Log Data. If we haven’t already deleted the Log Data earlier, we will either delete it or remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address, or email address, after 18 months.
Cookies
Like many websites, we use "cookie" technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our Services such as searching and looking at public user profiles or lists. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk. Vidivici may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
Third Party Services
Vidivici uses a variety of services hosted by third parties to help provide our Services, such as hosting our support and feedback forum, and to help us understand the use of our Services, such as Google Analytics. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP request.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not disclose your private information except in the limited circumstances described here.
Your Consent
We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when you use a third party web client or application to access your Vidivici account.
Service Providers
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy.
Law and Harm
We may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Vidivici's rights or property.
Business Transfers
In the event that Vidivici is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information
We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your views or the number of users who clicked on a particular link (even if only one did).
Modifying Your Personal Information
If you are a registered user of our Services, we provide you with tools to access or modify the personal information you provided to us and associated with your account.
You can also permanently delete your Vidivici account. If you email us at deleteme@vidivici.com, your account will be deactivated and then deleted. When your account is deactivated, it is not viewable on vidivici.com. For up to 30 days it is still possible to restore your account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. After 30 days, we begin the process of deleting your account from our systems, which can take up to a week.
Our Policy Towards Children
Our Services are not directed to people under 13. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at privacy@vidivici.com. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
Changes to this Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at www.vidivici.com/privacy. If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you via an e-mail to the email address associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
Effective: November 7, 2011
