Welcome! This notice explains our online information practices and choices you have about the collection and use of information you submit or we collect through the Tivvit mobile application (the “Tivvit App”) and related website, including www.tivvitapp.com, services, and tools that link to this Privacy Notice (collectively, the “Tivvit Platform”). The Tivvit Platform is owned or operated by StyleMates, Inc. (“StyleMates”).
By using any portion of the Tivvit Platform, you expressly consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
1. Information We Collect
(a) Registration and Account Information: When you download the Tivvit App and register for an account with us, you choose to give us your personal information and are not anonymous to us. Account registration requires that you provide personal information such as your full name, email address, username and password. You can also choose to provide information in your profile field, including, your biographical information, gender, interests, phone number, and website address. Personal information is associated with your account when you sign in as a registered user.
(b) Participation in Our Referral Program: The Tivvit referral program is an affiliate marketing program that allows participating users to earn commissions based on their activity on the Tivvit App (“Program”). If you decide to participate in the Program, you may be required to provide additional financial information (e.g. bank account) and your tax identification number (as applicable) for tax purposes as set forth in the Program Terms. Information you provide in connection with the Program will be further subject to the Program Terms.
(c) Information to Respond to Your Requests: When you send us questions or sign up for notifications or other communications, we may communicate with you through notifications and messaging in the Tivvit App. You may also be asked to provide your email address for notifications and communications outside the Tivvit App. When you send us your questions you may provide additional personal information about yourself to enable us to provide an individualized response to your request. Details of how you can opt-out of receiving communications from us are detailed in the Section 3 (Your Choices, Preferences and Opt-Out).
(d) Information from Other Sources: The information we collect may be combined with information from the records of our third party service providers that we have acquired in accordance with the law. If one of the Tivvit App users chooses to send you a referral link from the Tivvit App, we may obtain your email address from that user. We will also receive information from participating retailers and merchants about purchases made through a referral link on the Tivvit App in order to calculate and allocate applicable commissions as part of the Program and to post information about purchase activity.
(e) Content You Submit on the Tivvit Platform: We provide opportunities for you to submit or post images (e.g., photos of products that may or may not include a person) comments, opinions, reviews or other content. The content you submit or post may include additional personal information, including information about your preferences. This content can include information about the content you provide (like metadata), such as the location of a photo or the date a file was created. We also collect information about the people, collections, and hashtags that you are connected to and how you interact with those elements across the Tivvit Platform.
(f) Mobile Device Information: We may collect additional information from you if you access the Tivvit Platform through a mobile device (e.g., your unique device identifier, device’s operating system, IP address, mobile browser, and mobile carrier) and data you allow us to receive through the device settings you turn on (such as access to your photos).
(g) Your Usage Information: When you visit any portion of the Tivvit Platform, we collect usage information sent to us by your computer, mobile, or other access device that tells us how you are using the Tivvit Platform and what third party sites you visit from the Tivvit Platform (“usage information”). This may include information on how you use the Tivvit Platform, such as content you view or engage with, features you use, searches and actions you take, users and collections you interact with, and what posts and content you view. We may use tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, web beacons, clear gifs, embedded scripts, e-tags, unique device ID) to collect usage information.
We may also collect password information from you when you log in, as well as computer and/or connection information. During some visits we may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, time spent on certain pages and page interaction information.
Our goal is to collect and use only that information that we think is required for our legitimate business interests, in order to operate the Tivvit Platform and the Program and to better understand your interests and improve your experience of using the Tivvit Platform.
(h) Social Media Information: To log onto the Tivvit App, you must use your facebook or Google credentials. When you link your facebook or Google account or engage with the Tivvit App, you understand that we will have ongoing access to your username, profile picture, and certain information stored on those platforms as permitted by the platform. You grant us permission to show your username, profile picture and information about your actions (such as likes) and your comments in connection with your account and your posted collections on the Tivvit App and other users and collections that you interact with or follow. The information we have access to from the platforms varies by platform and is controlled by your privacy settings on that platform and by your consent.

You are always free to decline tracking technologies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of the Tivvit Platform.

It is your responsibility to make sure that your personal information in your account is accurate. You should promptly update your personal information if it changes or becomes inaccurate. We may retain some information from closed accounts so that we can comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms of Use, or take other actions permitted by law.
