Nvestiv Privacy Policy

Introduction

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform you about Nvestiv Capital Corporation’s (“Nvestiv,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) policies and procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing your information in connection with your use of the Nvestiv service.

Nvestiv provides a web-based and mobile service (the “Service”) designed to assist users who have Nvestiv accounts (“Users”) with sharing their information, content, materials, files, and folders (together, their “Content”) and analyzing how their Content is viewed and/or received by their customers, prospective customers, and other third parties that are not registered Users of the Service (“Viewers”).

Scope

This Privacy Policy governs your access of the Nvestiv Service, regardless of how you access it, and explains what data we collect when you use the Site and/or the Service, why we collect the data, how it is used, and your rights and choices.

This policy applies to personal data and other information collected by us from or about:

  • visitors to, or users of, our Site and Service,
  • prospective clients,
  • current clients, and
  • job applicants.

While providing our Service, we collect information related to Viewers on behalf of our Users. Our use of information on behalf of our Users is governed by our contract with the applicable User and the User’s own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or privacy practices of Users or other third parties.

By using our Site or the Service you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you interact with the Site or the Service and in connection with our events, and sales and marketing activities, we collect information that alone or in combination with other information could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”), as described below:

A. Information You Provide as a User

When you register an account as a User, you may be asked to provide Personal Data including without limitation, your name, phone number, email address, home address or business address.

You may also choose to submit Personal Data to us when you send us an email or use any interactive features that we may make available on the Service. For example, you may ask us to: - import your contacts by giving us access to your third party services (such as your email account) or - use your social networking information if you give us access to your account on social network connection services.

You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders or files with them or if you invite them to join Nvestiv. In addition, if you sign up for our paid Service, you may be asked to provide additional information, including your credit card information, as described below.

B. Events

We may also collect data from you including without limitation when you attend one of our events, during phone calls with sales representatives, or when you contact customer support.

C. Employment Applications

When you apply for employment through the Site, our provider of recruiting services will collect your resume and any additional information that you elect to provide to us, including but not limited to your employment history and education. In addition, where permitted by law, we may use a third party to carry out a background check to determine your suitability for a position.

D. Information We Receive from Viewers

If you are a Viewer, a User may request that you provide them with information (including Personal Data) via the Service in order to view that User’s Content. In particular, in order to access Content that a User wants to share with Viewers, a Viewer may be asked to provide his or her email address upon opening a Nvestiv User’s link (or Viewers’ email address may be provided by the User). Nvestiv stores this information on behalf of our Users. In the event you as a Viewer provide a User with this information, you do so in accordance with that User’s privacy practices and policies. Nvestiv is not responsible for the privacy practices of its Users, and only processes this information in accordance with the applicable agreement it has with each User. If you are a Viewer of one of Nvestiv’s Users and would no longer like to be contacted by such User that uses Nvestiv’s Service, please contact the User that you interact with directly.

E. Content

In providing the Service, we process on behalf of Users information included in the Content that Users (and as appropriate Users’ representatives, employees or other data subjects as elected by Users) upload, download, or access with, share, or send through the Service. If you add Content to your account that has been previously uploaded by you or another user, we may associate all or a portion of the previous Content with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

F. Information We Receive from Third Parties

We may also receive Personal Data (such as your email address) through other Users, for example, if they have tried to share something with you or tried to refer Nvestiv to you. We may supplement the information that we collected from Users and Viewers (such as an email address) with additional information obtained from publicly available and third-party databases or services that provide information about business people and companies (including an individual’s name, job title, business contact information, and company information), and display this information to our Users as a part of our Services.

G. Automatically Collected Information

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

A. Your Use

We will display your Personal Data on your profile page and elsewhere on the Service according to the preferences you set in your account. You may access and change these preferences at any time as described in Section 4. Any Personal Data you choose to provide should reflect how much you want others to know about you.

When Viewers receive Content from Users, we show a User’s name to the relevant Viewer. We also give our Users the ability to provide their contact information within the document viewer to the relevant Viewers. We show a Viewer’s email address and name to the User who sent the Content through our Service, if the Viewer has provided his or her email address.

We may also share or disclose your information with your consent, for example, if you use a third party application to access your account (see below). Through certain features of the Service, you may also have the ability to make some of your information public. Public information may be broadly and quickly disseminated. Please consider carefully what Personal Data you disclose in your profile page and our Service, and your desired level of anonymity.

A. General

Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personal Data that you provide directly to those third parties or that those third parties collect for themselves.

Before visiting a third-party site, whether by means of a link on this Service or otherwise, and before providing any Personal Data to any third party, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that site, and should take those steps necessary to your discretion, to protect your privacy.

B. Third Party Collection of Your Credit Card Information

If you choose to subscribe to a Purchased Service payment of which is via credit card, our third party credit card processor (Stripe) will process your credit card. Accordingly, you authorize Nvestiv to collect, use, retain, and disclose your credit card and other payment information to Stripe and represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to disclose such information to us. In addition, we may share your personal Data with trusted third parties who are integral to the operation of our Service, including but not limited to financial institutions, payment processors, verification services and credit bureaus, as well as any third parties that you have directly authorized to receive your Personal Data.

Nvestiv does not receive or store credit card information on our servers. We receive a transaction “token” and a one-time use ID number so we can validate that the transaction has been successfully completed.

C. Other Third Party Collection of Other Information

We may use third party companies including Google, Kissmetrics, and Intercom to provide us with analytics information. These companies may collect Personal Data and other information from you via our Site and Service.

Our advertising partners may use Personal Data (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third party websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” We may allow access to other data collected by the Services to share information that may be useful, relevant, valuable, or otherwise of interest to you. If you prefer not to share your Personal Data with third party advertising partners, you may use your device’s platform controls in your settings to exercise choice.

11. Security

The security of your information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

If we make a material change to this privacy policy, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email if you have provided your email address to us and your email address is current), and we may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. It is therefore important that you register with us and notify us if you change your email address.
