VIPAH INTERACTIVE PRIVACY POLICY FOR APP USERS

Vipah Interactive Inc. (“Vipah Interactive”) knows that you care about how your private information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy practices (“Privacy Policy”). By using a mobile application that incorporates or utilizes Vipah Interactive’ services (collectively, the “Services”) you accept the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

WHAT IS VIPAH'S PHILOSOPHY ON PRIVACY?

Vipah Interactive strongly urges all users of public online services to carefully limit the amount of personal information they reveal (such as real name, address,family members, etc). As a result, exposing sensitive personal information is not allowed on our services or apps. The personal information described in this document is therefore largely limited to information we use determining general aspects of app usage, and how me may improve our apps.

WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?

This Privacy Policy covers Vipah Interactive’s treatment of personally identifiable private information (“Personal Information”) that Vipah Interactive gathers when you access or use the Services. When you use localNet, we may collect certain Personal Information from you as part of this process, as further set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not cover (i) use of information by third parties we do not control (including other users viewing your profile information, groups you created, groups you are a member of, groups you commented in, and location data you have made available by creating groups, posting messages or by joining groups), or (ii) our collection or use of Personal Information collected other than through Apps (e.g., through use of our websites at www.vipah.com, (the “Website”)). Our collection and use of information via our Website is covered in our Website Privacy Policy.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES VIPAH INTERACTIVE COLLECT?

We collect the following types of information from you when you use our App: your IP address (including country of origin), App version, device operating system (including version), device make and model, UDID or other unique device identifier (only in anonymized form—i.e., not associated with any other personally identifiable information), and the current time each time you launch an App. In addition, while you are using an App, we collect information regarding your GPS location, and the various software actions and paths you take when using the App (“Events”), including a timestamp associated with each Event. We will NOT sell or use your private photos, groups, or messages.


Cookies/SessionIDs

Although the Services do not place cookies on your device when you use an App, each time you launch an App, we assign a unique session ID (a “Session ID”) to that launch of the App which we associate with the other information that we collect during your use of the App during that launch session. We do not associate Session IDs with Personal Information.

HOW DOES VIPAH INTERACTIVE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We only use your Personal Information (i) in aggregate, anonymized form for marketing purposes (e.g., to describe the total number of users who are using Apps which use the Service), (ii) to further develop and improve our Services.

WILL VIPAH INTERACTIVE SHARE ANY OF THE PERSONAL INFORMATION IT RECEIVES?

We do not rent, sell or disclose your Personal Information to anyone  – except for the following limited purposes:
Agents: We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf – meaning they are helping us provide our Services. We may share your Personal Information with such companies/persons solely as necessary for them to help us provide the Services. Unless we tell you differently, Vipah Interactive’ agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.

Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if Vipah Interactive, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Vipah Interactive goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.

Protection of Vipah Interactive and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Vipah Interactive, our employees, our users, or others.

With Your Consent: Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

CONDITIONS OF USE

If you decide to access or use the Services, any possible dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of Massachusetts state law.

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE?

You may request deletion of your Personal Information by sending an e-mail to privacy@vipah.com, however Vipah Interactive will not delete accounts with active private groups, and will require account ownership verification in order to prevent trolling/SWATing of accounts. Also, please note that some information may remain in our records after deletion of your account.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Vipah Interactive may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by changing this document and posting on our website. Users are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when he or she uses the Services (including through any App) after such notice has been provided.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS

If you have any questions or concerns regarding privacy in connection with the Services, please send us a detailed message at privacy@vipah.com. We will make every effort to resolve your concerns.
