Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.
Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data to the United States and process it there.

By using Grivio, you consent to this transfer.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

9.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our website, including:

Pages visited and time spent on pages
How you arrived at our website
Your approximate location (country, region, city)
Device and browser information

9.2 Google Signals

We have enabled Google Signals, which allows Google Analytics to associate session data collected from our website with Google account information from users who are signed in to their Google accounts and have enabled Ads Personalization. This provides us with aggregated demographic data (such as age ranges and gender) and interest information about our users as a whole. This data is anonymized and aggregated—we cannot identify individual users from this information.

If you wish to opt out of Google Signals data collection, you can:

Turn off Ads Personalization in your Google Account settings at https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy
Use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Adjust cookie settings in your browser

9.3 How to Manage Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.

10. Third-Party Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to:

Facilitate our Service
Provide the Service on our behalf
Perform Service-related services
Assist us in analyzing how our Service is used

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

12. Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

13. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach—defined as unauthorized access to protected user information—Grivio will take reasonable steps to secure affected systems and notify impacted users without undue delay. We will also notify relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities as required by applicable law.

During a breach response, our first priority is limiting the scope and scale of the incident. Support and systems may be slow or unresponsive during this time.

We will not pay ransoms for data or to stop attacks.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
