2. COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

You can access some areas of the Service without submitting any personally identifiable information. Convive collects personally identifiable information only if you choose to subscribe to email newsletters or to request information or assistance through the Service. The personally identifiable information that Convive collects through these portions of the Service may include your name, email address, telephone number, and any other personally identifiable information that you choose to include in your submissions to us. You represent and warrant that you have the right and authority to provide any information provided by you. Through requesting active user consent, Convive may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information in connection with the operation of the Service, including IP addresses, browser or operating system information, data on advertisements or links on which you click, and the websites that you visit before or after you visit the Service. Convive will obtain consent explicitly from users through clear affirmative acts. Such information and consent records are maintained by Convive or service providers acting on behalf of others.

3. PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy and facilitate the appropriate use of information, Convive uses physical, technological and administrative procedures to attempt to protect the personally identifiable information we collect through the Service. Convive takes these extensive measures to secure users’ data. Nevertheless, Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any messages or information you send to the Service may be read or intercepted by others, and users of the Service may be able to view your information. If you have any questions about the security of personally identifiable information collected by Convive, please contact us at info@convivecollective.com.

In the event of a data breach, Convive would aim to detect the data breach and report it to the appropriate authorities within 72 hours. Also, if the security of user data is put at risk, then Convive will inform the affected or potentially affected users about the personal data breach within 72 hours.

5. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may disclose your personally identifiable information to our subsidiaries or affiliates and to third-party partners whom we occasionally hire to provide services on our behalf, including support services, website services, delivery of promotional materials, the answering of customer questions about our services, and new services. Convive will only provide those third-party partners with the personally identifiable information they need to deliver the services to us and/or on our behalf, and they will be contractually prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

In the event that Convive is involved in a transaction such as a merger, stock purchase or sale, or sale of substantially all of Convive assets, your personal information may be transferred to the other party in such transaction.

Convive reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information if required to do so by law or legal process or otherwise requested by any law enforcement officer or agency acting under color of law.

6. COOKIES

Convive may also use cookies to gather information about your visits to the Service in order to enhance your experience. A cookie is a small string of information that the website you visit transfers to your computer for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity on the Service and that information helps us to understand your preferences and improve your experience with the Service. Cookies are also used for such activities as remembering your user name and password, if necessary. You can turn off all cookies in case you prefer not to receive them. You can also have your computer warn you whenever cookies are being used. For both options you have to adjust your browser settings (such as Mozilla, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Edge). There are also software products available that can manage cookies for you. Please be aware, however, that when you choose to reject cookies, this choice may limit the functionality of the Service.

7. WEBSITE ANALYTICS

Convive may use third-party services to help analyze how you use our Service. These analytic services use cookies, (see, Section 6). The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Service is transmitted to the Service. This information is then used to evaluate various uses of the Service and to compile statistical reports on Service activity for us, and us alone. We will never (and will not allow any third party to) use these analytics service tools to track or to collect any of your personally identifiable information.

8. NO SPYWARE OR ADWARE

We do not install any spyware or adware in connection with our Service or distribute any commercial message or authorize any third party to distribute any commercial message, by means of spyware or adware. "Spyware" or "adware" is any software which has been downloaded to or installed on an Internet user's computer or device, without the user's actual consent, and facilitates the distribution of any commercial message to the user. If you feel you may have spyware from another company installed on your machine or device, there are various anti-spyware/adware software applications available on the Internet to identify if this has occurred.

9. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Convive complies with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) made effective in the EU on May 25, 2018, even though our Service is not generally targeted toward members of the EU. Convive is committed to protecting the security of your personal information, and we take commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures that are designed to that end.

You have the right to obtain the following: (i) confirmation of whether, and where, Convive is processing personally identifiable information; (ii) information about the purpose of the processing; (iii) information about the categories of data being processed; information about the categories of recipients with whom the data may be shared; information about the period for which the data will be stored (or the criteria used to determine that period); (iv) information about the existence of the rights to erasure, to rectification, to restriction of processing and to object to processing; (v) information about the existence of the right to complain; and (vii) information about the existence of, and an explanation of the logic involved in, any automated processing that has a significant effect on your personally identifiable information.

Additionally, you may request a copy of your personally identifiable information being processed, which will be provided to you within one month of COMSIC receiving a request, unless such action is otherwise impossible or commercially unreasonable.

10. RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

The personally identifiable information that you provide will be stored and maintained by Convive until you instruct us otherwise, or, in our sole discretion, for the longer of either of the following: (a) for so long as is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose(s) for which such information was collected (approximately six (6) months) or (b) for so long as we are required to maintain such information by law or other applicable rules or regulations.

Additionally, you have the right to be erased from Convive’s records upon request unless Convive has a legal reason to hold your information. You can submit their requests in writing to info@convivecollective.com.

13. ACCESS AND ACCURACY

Convive will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide access to your personally identifiable information if you request such access in writing submitted to info@convivecollective.com

Convive reserves the right to deny access to your personally identifiable information: (a) when such denial of access is required by law; (b) when granting you access is reasonably likely to negatively impact other people's privacy; (c) when granting such access is cost prohibitive; (d) when denying access is necessary to protect our rights and property; or (e) when such requests are frivolous or made in bad faith.

If you believe that the personally identifiable information maintained by Convive about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may notify Convive in writing describing in detail any inaccuracies or omissions, submitted to info@convivecollective.com. Following receipt of such a properly submitted written notice, Convive will, within a reasonable time period, use commercially reasonable efforts to, in its sole discretion, either: (i) amend or correct your personally identifiable information to reflect corrected or additional information provided by you, or (ii) in connection with your personally identifiable information, make note of any claimed inaccuracies or omissions reflected in the notice submitted by you.
