To make this policy easier to read,
we call the Website, the Applications, and the Platforms together the "Services". When
we talk about "Personal Information", we mean information relating to you or
other identifiable individuals.
It is BizvuÕs
policy to respect your privacy and the privacy of all users of the Services.
This Privacy Policy has been established to help you understand our commitment
to protecting your privacy and personal data, and the steps we take to ensure
it. By visiting and/or using any of the Services, you agree to be bound by the
terms of the present Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy"). Where the
present Privacy Policy refers to "Bizvu", it may
refer to the Services or to Bizvu D-Commerce Limited,
depending on the context.
Bizvu
reserves the right, at any time, to
modify or replace the Privacy Policy. The most recent version of the Privacy
Policy is available at
www.Bizvu.com

changes, though we will also notify you via email or other direct electronic
communication method of any changes that, in our sole discretion, materially
impact your use of the Services or the treatment of your Personal Information.
Your use of the Services following the posting of any changes to the Privacy
Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes.
BizvuÕs
Privacy Policy forms part of its
wider terms of service. If you are a Bizvu Social
Enterprise user, these terms of service are available on request, and/or are subject
to a negotiated agreement governing your access to and use of Bizvu Social Enterprise Services. If you use or access any
other websites, mobile sites, mobile applications, products or services offered
by Bizvu, these terms of service are also available on
request. Additional terms may apply to other Services purchased. To make
this policy easier to read, any applicable Bizvu
terms of service are referred to as the "Terms". Both the Terms and
the Privacy Policy apply to your use of the Services.
Bizvu
Data and Customer Content
We collect Personal Information (such
as registration and account information) from our customers and users of the
Services for our own purposes, such as to provide and administer the Services
("Bizvu Data"). WeÕre the data
controller in respect of this information. Bizvu Data
is also referred to as "Customer Information" in our Terms with our Enterprise
Customers.
We also process Personal Information
on behalf of our customers as their data processor, such as content generated,
requested or published via the Platforms in accordance with the instructions
our customers give us through the Services (including, for example, the
information our customers monitor or collect from social media sites like
Twitter and Facebook through the Services) ("Customer Content"). Our
customers control how their Customer Content is collected and used by them. In
legal terms this means that our customers are the data controller of their
Customer Content. Accordingly, we only use Customer Content to provide the
Services to our customers in accordance with the lawful instructions they give
us through the Services.
About this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how and
when Bizvu collects, uses and shares Bizvu Data when you use the Services. Bizvu
receives your information through our Website, Platforms and Applications.
Whilst most of this Privacy Policy
relates to Bizvu Data, we also provide some
information about how our customers choose to collect and use Customer Content
through the Services.
The Services by their nature allow
our customers to connect their accounts through the APIs of our various
Supported Platforms (such as Twitter, FacebookÉ) and any applications developed
by third parties that Bizvu does not own or control
("Third-Party Apps") that our customers choose to access. This
Privacy Policy does not cover any information or other content you can view via
the Services on Supported Platforms (but which was not posted there using the
Services) or information you provide to Third-Party Apps accessed via the
Services. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Supported
Platforms and Third-Party Apps that share our respect for your privacy, we
cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of any Supported
Platforms or Third-Party Apps. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy
policies of any Supported Platforms or Third-Party Apps you access via the
ServicesÉ
Bizvu
Data we receive or collect
When you first register for a Bizvu account, and when you use the Services, we collect
some Personal Information about you such as:
How we useBizvuData
Bizvu
Social uses Bizvu
Data for the following general purposes:
We also use non-identifiable
information gathered for statistical purposes to keep track of the number of
visits to the Services with a view to introducing improvements and improving
usability of the Services.
Customer Content we process for our customers
Bizvu
is a social media management tool.
By its nature, Services enable our customers to bring together their social
networks and integrate with hundreds of business applications that they already
use, all in one place.
Services help our customers manage
social media campaigns, marketing and advertising; engaging audiences;
scheduling and publishing messages; and analyse the results.
In particular, the various Services
allow our customers to instantly connect to other third-party services,
including "Supported Platforms" such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. When our
customers link a Supported Platform or a third-party service (such as MSDynamics) to their Bizvu
account or when they register with a Supported Platform through their Bizvu account, our customers can choose to instantly
collect, process, share and access such third party services and Supported
Platform via their Bizvu account (subject to the
terms of the license agreements with the Supported Platforms and other third
party services).
In this way, our customers can
obtain, use and analyse Personal Information from Supported Platforms and
third-party services of their choosing, and also create, input, submit, post,
transmit, store, view, display or share Personal Information through the
functionality in the Services. Such information can include Personal
Information of all types, including but not limited to the following
categories:
Consent
By using any of the Services, or
submitting or collecting any Personal Information via the Services, you consent
to the collection, transfer, storage disclosure, and use of your Personal
Information in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent
to the use of your Personal Information in these ways, please stop using the
Services.
Cookies and related technologies
Bizvu
uses tracking technology ("cookies")
on the Website, in the Applications, and in the Platforms, including mobile
application identifiers and a unique Bizvu user ID to
help us recognize you across different Services, to monitor usage and web
traffic routing for the Services, and to customise and improve the
Services. By visiting the Website or using the Services you agree to the
use of cookies in your browser and HTML-based emails. Cookies are small text
files placed on your device when you visit a web site, in order to track use of
the site and to improve your user experience.
Session Cookies
The Services use "session cookies",
which improve your user experience by storing certain information from your
current visit on your device, such as log-in
information. These enable us to remember your log-in
session so you can move easily within the Website or the other Services.
Without these session cookies, we wouldnÕt be able to provide the Services to
you. These session cookies have limited functionalities and expirations, and
you will be required to re-enter your Bizvu log-in information after a certain period of time has
elapsed to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account
contents and related Personal Information. Other examples of our use of
session cookies include to track the number of visits
by a particular visitor to a page.
When we may share Personal Information
Except as provided in this Privacy
Policy, Bizvu does not divulge any Personal
Information gathered via the Services (including Customer Content) to third
parties.
Notwithstanding anything in the Privacy
Policy to the contrary, we may share any information we have collected about
you or Customer Content:
(1) when you
consent to the disclosure of such information to a third party when connecting
to a third-party service that asks you if you consent to such sharing;
(2) where we
are legally required to do so, such as in response to court orders or legal
process, or to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or to defend
against legal claims or demands;
(3) if we
believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats
to the rights, property, or personal safety of any person;
(4) if we
believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
situations that involve abuse of the Services infrastructure or the Internet in
general (such as voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to
compromise the security of the Website infrastructure or the Services
generally);
(5) to a
parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common
control with Bizvu;
(6) if we
are acquired by or merged with another entity (in which case we will require
such entity to assume our obligations under this Privacy Policy or inform you
that you are covered by a new privacy policy); and
(7) if this
information is not private, is aggregated or is otherwise non-Personal
Information, such as your public user profile information and related public
data (such as Tweets, likes, etc.) or the number of users who clicked on a
particular link (even if only one did so).
Subject to obligations consistent
with this Privacy Policy, we may also disclose information to our affiliates,
agents, contractors, and service providers in order to facilitate the
functioning of the Services or to perform tasks that are integral to the
Services, such as processing transactions, fulfilling requests for information,
or providing support services or other tasks, from time to time. Information
may also be transferred from Bizvu to the third
parties in control of the Supported Platforms, but only to the extent required
in order for the Services to function properly.
Children
Protecting the safety of children
when they use the Internet is very important to us.
Our
Services should only be accessed by individuals of Minimum Age
. "
Minimum
Age
" may mean different ages in different countries, depending on where the
individual accesses the services. For reference, "Minimum Age" shall mean (a)
14 years old for the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Germany, Spain,
Australia, and South Korea; and (b) 13 years old for all other countries.
However, if applicable law requires that you must be older than such ages in
order for Bizvu to lawfully provide the Services to
you (including the collection, storage, and use of your information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy), then the Minimum Age would be such older
age. The Services are not designed nor intended for use by children or anyone
else under the age of 13.
Security
We use industry best practices to
keep any information collected and/or transmitted to the Supported Platforms or
Third-Party Apps secure. This includes the use of HTTPS with TLS (Transport
Layer Security), which encrypts all transmitted data, and OAuth
2.0 protocols for authentication and data transfer to Supported Platforms and
Third-Party Apps. We are also deploying 2FA from Authy
and DUO depending customer choice
Certain Personal Information, most
notably Bizvu log-in
details, is encrypted during transmission using TLS. Once validated within our
system, passwords are deleted from our system. In addition, Bizvu
uses third-party vendors and hosting partners such as to BT, ElasticHosts, MS Azure or Amazon to provide the necessary
hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run
the Services. These vendors have been selected for their high standards of both
physical and technological security, including ISO and SSAE16 certifications.
When payments are processed via
credit card, Bizvu uses third-party vendors that are
PCI-DSS Compliant. At no point does Bizvu have access
to your credit card information.
You should bear in mind that
submission of information over the Internet is never entirely secure. We
cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the Services whilst
it is in transit over the Internet and any such submission is at your own risk,
and this risk is specifically disclaimed in our Terms.
If you are a Logged-in User, it is
advisable that you log out of your account at the end of every session and not
leave a logged-in account unattended for any period of time, particularly if
you use a shared computer or device.
Information storage and international transfers
Bizvu
the entity which
provides the Services, is a UK company with its head-office located in London,
UK. For the purposes of EU data protection law, we are EU based and which
provides adequate protections for Personal Information, as confirmed by the
European Commission in Commission Decision 2002/2/EC.
In addition, Bizvu
uses third-party service providers (such as managed hosting providers, card
processors, CRM systems, sub-processors of Customer Content and technology
partners) to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage and other
services that we use to operate the Services. These third-party providers may
process, or store, the same Customer Content on servers outside of the EEA,
including in Canada or the US.
By using any of the Services, or
submitting or collecting any Personal Information via the Services, you
authorize Bizvu and its authorized service partners
to use and process Customer Content and Bizvu Data
(including any Personal Information) in these countries. Please be aware that
the privacy protections and the rights of authorities and Government agencies
to access your Personal Information in some of these countries may not be
equivalent to those in your country.
For our customers with a principal location in the
EU:
If you primarily use the Services
within the EU, we will process Customer Content (which may include Personal
Information) as a data processor on your behalf. Under EU law, you are
considered to be the data controller of the Customer Content, and as such you
are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws in respect
of the processing of Customer Content and the lawful instructions you give us.
If you have any questions, please
feel free to support@bizvu.com.

Your rights
You can contact us to obtain a copy

for a period of time following cancellation of your account where this is

You should be aware that Bizvu acts as a conduit between our users and the various
Supported Platforms and Third-Party Apps. In several instances, the content
published via Bizvu will not be in BizvuÕs custody or control, and any content that has been
shared by you through any Supported Platform or Third-Party Apps via the
Services may continue to be available to third parties and the public at large,
as this content is now under the control of the operators of the Supported
Platforms and/or the Third-Party Apps.
