Privacy Policy
Vivarna, Inc. and its affiliates (“Vivarna,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) understand the importance of protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information of our customers, visitors, and users (collectively, “Users”) who interact with us through our website (www.Vivarna.com), products and services available on the site, related social media accounts, and other engagements with Vivarna (collectively, the “Services”). It also outlines why we collect this information, how we use it, and with whom we may share it.
By accessing or using the Services, interacting with features, and/or providing us with any information, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of both our Terms of Service (the “Terms and Conditions”) and this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information Provided by the User: When the User registers an account or makes a transaction through our Services, Vivarna collects certain “Personal Information” (any data that can be directly or indirectly linked to the User), including but not limited to the User's name, title, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, billing details, and other similar information. The User may also provide Personal Information about others, such as when purchasing gifts for someone else.
​
Device Identifiers: If the User accesses the Services through a device, we may collect, monitor, and/or store one or more “device identifiers,” such as device ID and device type. These identifiers allow us to uniquely recognize the User’s device and help us enhance the Services (including sending updates and relevant information). Device identifiers may be combined with other Personal Information.
​
Analytics: When the User interacts with our Services, we may gather data through logging and cookies, which may sometimes be linked to Personal Information. This data helps us analyze usage patterns and user interest in our Services.
​
Log Data: As is the case with most web services, our servers automatically collect certain data when the User accesses or uses our Services, which is stored in log files. This data may include the User's device’s IP address, the web page visited prior to accessing the Services, the User's purchases, products viewed, browser type and settings, the time and date of access, browser configurations, language preferences, and cookie information. Additionally, this data may include location data from the User’s device, such as GPS signals or nearby Wi-Fi networks, if location services are enabled on the User’s device.
​
Cookies and Tracking Information: We use cookies and similar technologies, such as pixel tags and web beacons, to gather certain usage information about the User (e.g., preferences or shopping cart activity) (“Usage Data”), which may become linked to Personal Information. Our Services may also include cookies and tracking technologies from third parties that collect data across different sites and platforms, including social media. These technologies are mainly used for improving website performance, enhancing Service functionality, and for advertising purposes. To adjust tracking preferences on iOS, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. On Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads to change your advertising preferences.
INFORMATION USE
We primarily use the information we collect to fulfill our obligations to the User, advance our legitimate interests in operating and growing our Services and business, and where the User has given consent for such usage. Specifically, Vivarna uses Personal Information for the following purposes:
​
-
To provide, update, maintain, and secure the Services: This includes using Personal Information to support the delivery of Services, resolve technical or security issues, monitor usage trends, and address requests made by the User. We may also use the User's email address or phone number to send important notices (such as legal notices) in place of traditional mail. If the User contacts Vivarna via email, we may retain the content of their messages, their email address, and our responses.
-
To personalize User experience and provide improved customer service: Personal Information helps us understand the User’s preferences and shopping habits, allowing us to recommend products the User might be interested in. We also use this information to remind the User about unfinished purchases in their shopping cart. This is considered direct marketing, and we have a legitimate interest in using the User’s email address and abandoned cart data to communicate about these uncompleted transactions.
-
To comply with legal obligations: Vivarna may be required to process the User’s Personal Information to fulfill legal requirements, regulations, or court orders. We will only process the User’s data as necessary to meet such obligations.
-
To communicate with the User: We may use the User’s Personal Information to respond to inquiries, transactions, requests, or comments. If the User contacts Vivarna, we will use the information to provide an appropriate response.
-
To send emails and communications: Vivarna may send the User service-related, technical, or administrative emails. We may also notify the User about changes to our products or services, or provide important alerts such as security or fraud notices.
-
To process transactions: This includes managing billing, account administration, and other business-related tasks. We will use the User’s information to process purchases and apply discounts provided by third-party brand ambassadors. We may contact the User for account-related purposes or to follow up on billing.
-
To monitor and prevent security issues and abuse: We may use the information to investigate, detect, and prevent fraud, security breaches, or other prohibited activities. This also includes monitoring the Site for violations of our policies or legal regulations.
-
For marketing purposes: Vivarna may use the collected information to promote our products and services to both new and existing customers. We may also share the User’s data with third parties to deliver marketing communications. If the User prefers not to receive these messages, they can opt out by following the instructions in the communication or by submitting a request through the provided form. This also includes tracking the User’s interactions with promotional emails, such as whether they opened the message or engaged with its content.
-
To improve our Sites: We continually strive to enhance the offerings of our Sites based on feedback and information gathered from our Users.
​​
We may also use the information for other purposes as outlined in this Privacy Policy, as permitted by law, or as communicated to the User.

DATA TRANSFER & RETENTION
Vivarna will keep the User's Personal Information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may also retain and use Personal Information as required to meet legal obligations, address disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies.
​
Usage Data will be stored for internal analysis purposes. Generally, this data is kept for a shorter duration, unless it is necessary to retain it for security purposes, to enhance Service functionality, or if legally required to keep it for a longer period.
​
The User's information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside of the User's region, where the data protection laws may differ from those in their home jurisdiction.
​
If the User is based outside the United States, please be aware that we transfer data, including Personal Information, to the U.S. for processing.
​
By using the Services, the User acknowledges and agrees that their Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection practices may vary from those in the User's country.
​
Vivarna will take reasonable measures to protect the User’s Personal Information and ensure it is handled in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.
INFORMATION PROTECTION
Vivarna takes security seriously and has implemented various measures to protect the User's Personal Information. These security measures are applied both during the transmission and upon receipt of Personal Information. Sensitive data, such as credit card information, is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.
However, no method of protecting information is fully secure. While we take precautions to safeguard Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will be effective or sufficient. Additionally, please note that internet data transmission is never entirely secure, and we cannot ensure the security of information transmitted through our services.

Our services may contain links to third-party websites and services. Once you leave our website to visit these third-party sites, you are no longer subject to our privacy policy. Vivarna is not responsible for the activities, security, privacy practices, or content of external websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you visit.
​
Vivarna may hire third-party companies or individuals to help with various aspects of our services, including facilitating product delivery, offering customer support, analyzing service usage, and assisting with marketing and business development efforts (“Service Providers”). These Service Providers may have access to the User’s Personal Information but are only permitted to use it to perform services on our behalf. Some Service Providers may retain anonymized or aggregated data that no longer identifies individual users.
COMMUNICATIONS OPT-OUT & SMS MARKETING
The User can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing messages, we will still send you important order confirmations and other non-marketing communications.
