Privacy Policy

1.Information we may collect

Depending on the features you use, BizVanta may process:

• Account details, such as name, email address, and role.
• Business or Creator profile information.
• Profile photographs, social links, descriptions, categories, and location information you choose to provide.
• Campaigns, applications, invitations, and collaboration-related information.
• Messages and information required to operate messaging and reporting features.
• Reviews, ratings, reports, and moderation-related information.
• Account preferences, notifications, and trial-related status.
• Technical information necessary for security, troubleshooting, and service operation.
• Records of consent or acceptance, where those records are actually maintained.
• Communications sent to support.

We do not collect sensitive information merely because this Policy lists possible information categories. We only process information that is relevant to the Service and has an appropriate legal basis.

2.How we use information

BizVanta may use personal information, where lawful, to:

• Create and manage accounts.
• Display profiles and facilitate discovery.
• Operate Campaigns, applications, and messaging.
• Deliver notifications.
• Manage trial eligibility and access.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Handle reports and complaints.
• Provide customer support.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
• Meet legal obligations.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

3.Public and private information

Some profile information may be visible to other users or the public depending on the user's profile settings and the functionality provided.

Private information is not presented as public merely because it exists in an account.

Messaging and account information are accessible only as permitted by the application's access controls.

4.Legal bases

Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, BizVanta processes personal information on an appropriate basis, which may include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Where consent is required, it is obtained appropriately. Users can withdraw consent where applicable, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

5.Messages and reports

Messages may be processed to deliver communications, display conversation history, maintain security, prevent abuse, investigate reports, and comply with legal obligations.

Access to messages follows the access controls implemented by the Service. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted and are not automatically deleted.

Reports may contain information necessary to investigate abuse or protect users. Such information is accessible only to authorized persons and retained appropriately.

6.Sharing information

BizVanta may share information:

• With other users as required by the features you choose to use.
• With service providers necessary to operate the Service.
• Where required by law or a valid legal request.
• To protect users, the Service, or legal rights where lawful.
• In connection with a business transfer, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information or share it for unrelated purposes contrary to applicable law or the user's valid choices.

7.International processing

Information may be processed in countries other than the country where a user resides.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, BizVanta will implement an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism.

8.Retention and deletion

BizVanta retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, subject to applicable law.

Retention periods may depend on account operation, security, legal obligations, disputes, and backup systems.

Where the Service supports account deletion or data requests, those requests are handled in accordance with applicable law and actual system capabilities. We do not promise immediate or complete deletion from every backup.

9.Security

BizVanta uses reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information processed.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. BizVanta cannot guarantee absolute security.

10.Privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent.

Users may contact support@bizvanta.org to submit a privacy request.

Requests are handled according to applicable law, including identity verification where reasonably necessary.

11.Children's privacy

BizVanta is a business-to-creator marketplace, not a service intended for children.

We do not knowingly permit individuals to use the Service in violation of applicable age requirements. If information concerning a child has been collected unlawfully, we take appropriate steps to address it under applicable law.

12.Cookies and similar technologies

The BizVanta website uses the browser storage and cookies required for sign-in and secure operation of the Service. BizVanta does not currently use advertising or third-party analytics trackers.

If non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are introduced in the future, an appropriate consent mechanism will be provided before such processing occurs where applicable law requires it.

13.Third-party services

External services, such as the social platforms linked from profiles, may process information under their own privacy policies.

BizVanta does not control the privacy practices of third-party services. Users should review the relevant third-party policies when using those services.

14.Changes to this Policy

BizVanta may update this Policy from time to time. The current version and its effective date will be displayed on the website.

Where required by applicable law, BizVanta will provide notice or obtain consent for material changes.
