Privacy Policy

 

Last Updated: May 2023

The Naritiv, Inc. knows you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and share your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) through our mobile platform. Please read it carefully.

Remember that your use of The Naritiv is at all times subject to the Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.

This Privacy Policy includes additional notices that may apply to you if you are a California consumer. Please see the section further below titled “Additional Notices for California Residents” for more details.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy details how we collect, receive, use, store, share, transfer and process your Personal Information. It also describes the choices you have regarding the use of your Personal Information, as well as your rights and how you execute these rights.

This Privacy Policy only applies to the processing of your Personal Information by The Naritiv as a data controller, meaning where we process your Personal Information for our purposes. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any processing of your Personal Information by The Naritiv as a data processor on behalf of a Creator. Creators will have their own privacy practices governing their use of Personal Information as outlined in their own terms of use and/or privacy policies.

Will The Naritiv ever change this Privacy Policy?

We’re constantly trying to improve our services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well. We are free to update this Privacy Policy at any time, without notice. However, we will notify Users a reasonable amount of time in advance if there are major modifications made to this Policy. The continued use of the Services indicates consent to the terms of this Policy.

We also collect information on the use of our mobile platform via Cookies. Please view the section “Cookies” below for more information.

How does The Naritiv use your Personal Information?

We process this Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • To establish and fulfill a contract with you, for example when you establish a profile on our mobile platform or subscribe to view a Creator’s Content. This may include verifying your identity, taking payments, communicating with you, providing customer service;
  • As required by The Naritiv to enable our business and pursue our legitimate interests. In particular we use your Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • Where our use of Personal Information is made pursuant to a balancing of our legitimate interests with your privacy interest, we will provide more information about our balancing analysis and process on request. Please send any such requests to [email protected].
  • Compliance with applicable laws and protection of The Naritiv’s legitimate business interests and legal rights, including but not limited to use in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, investigative purposes (including disclosure of such information in connection with legal process or litigation).
  • In addition, we will send you, based on your consent (if required), direct marketing communication in relation to our relevant services, or other services provided by us, our affiliates and carefully selected partners. You can withdraw your consent at any time (“opt out”); see the section “What are your rights?” below. In case of electronic direct marketing you can opt out by following the instructions in the communication.
  • In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described in this Privacy Policy.

How will The Naritiv share the Personal Information it receives?

We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described below:

  • Affiliates: We may disclose your Personal Information to our subsidiaries and/or corporate affiliates for the purposes as described above.
  • Creators: When you subscribe to a Creator’s page, we provide them the information necessary (which may include your name and email address) to provide you their Content. Please note that Creator’s control their own profiles; accordingly, when you interact with a Creator in a way that requires your personal information, including when commenting on Content or engaging in an interview with the Creator, that personal information is provided directly to the Creator.
  • Our Service Providers: We share your Personal Information with third party service providers that provide services on our behalf; for example, we use Stripe (a third party payment provider) to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Such third parties further include, but are not limited to, providers of: platform hosting; maintenance services; email services; security services; content delivery networks; customer support operations and software services; traffic and usage analytics services; and cloud storage and computing services.
  • Other users: If your user profile allows it, you may choose to populate certain user profile information, including, without limitation, your name, subscriptions, school, location, and any image content. Any user profile information uploaded may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the services (including when you post comments or upload images or videos through the services). Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. Your username may also be displayed to other users if and when and other users can contact you through comments.
  • Prospective sellers or buyers: We may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the sale or merger of our business or assets (subject to local laws). Also, if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control.
  • Government authorities and/or law enforcement officials: If required for the purposes as described in this Privacy Policy, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws we may share Personal Information with competent regulatory, prosecuting, tax or governmental authorities, courts or other tribunals in any jurisdiction or markets, domestic or foreign.

In certain cases, we may anonymize your Personal Information in such a way that you can no longer be identified as an individual, and we reserve the right to use and share such anonymized information to trusted partners not specified here. However, we never disclose aggregated or de-identified information in a manner that could identify you as an individual.

Where will we send your Personal Information? 

The Naritiv is established in the United States and uses service providers established both in the United States and in other countries to process Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. As such, your Personal Information may be shared internationally.

Is Personal Information about you secure?

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, failure of the services, or other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.

What are your rights?

Depending on applicable local laws, you may be entitled to ask The Naritiv for a copy of your Personal Information, to correct it, erase or restrict its processing, or to ask us to transfer some of this information to other organizations. You may also have rights to object to some processing activities or to request restriction of some processing activities. Where we have asked for your consent to process your Personal Information, you may also have the right to withdraw this consent. These rights may be limited in some situations or in accordance with applicable law – for example, we cannot delete your Personal Information when we can demonstrate that we have a legal obligation to retain it. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent or you delete your account.

Where we require Personal Information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such information is mandatory: if such information is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal data is optional. Please note we will always inform you where the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or optional.

We hope that we can satisfy any queries you may have about the way we process your Personal Information. If you have any concerns about how we process your Personal Information, or would like to opt out of marketing, you can get in touch at [email protected].

If you are a California consumer, please see the section further below titled “Additional Notices for California Residents” for more notices regarding your Personal Information.

Cookies 

In order to improve Services and provide more convenient, relevant experiences to Users, we and our agents may use “cookies,” “web beacons,” and/or similar devices to track User activities. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to the browser or your mobile device by a web server and can only be read by the server that deposited it. It functions as an identification card and enables the saving of passwords and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. A web beacon is a small transparent .gif image that is embedded in an HTML page or email used to track when the page or email has been viewed. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, and most services that include similar devices are typically initially activated to collect data. Browsers can be set to notify Users when they receive a cookie, giving Users the chance to decide whether to accept it. We do not support browsers’ Do Not Track features. Users can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the preferences or settings page of the User’s browser, keeping in mind that disabling these devices may make Services fail to work as expected.
