This Privacy Policy covers VivoGirls Sports, Inc.’s treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that the Company gathers when you access the Website and when you use the Company’s services or applications.  This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. does not own or control, or to individuals that the “Company” does not employ or manage.

What Personal Information Does Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. Collect?

The information we gather from members enables us to personalize and improve our services. We collect the following types of information from our members:

Personal Information You Provide to Us:

We may receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information collected include your full name, e-mail address, gender, IP address, browser information, username, password and any other information necessary for us to provide our services.  You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.  The Personal Information you provide may be used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain services, customizing the advertising and content you see, and communicating with you about new services.  

 

Personal Information Collected Automatically:

•  We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Website or use our services.  Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie information, and the page(s) you requested. 
•  Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to our Website and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show.  Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally.  This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often members use our services or the different parts of the Website so that we can improve those services and make the Website appealing to as many members as possible.  As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our members, collectively, use our Website or services.  We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use the Website or services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.  Again, Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. never discloses aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.

Email Communications:

We often receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. if your computer supports this type of program. The Company uses this confirmation to help us make e-mails more interesting and helpful.  We also compare our member list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our members.  When you receive email from Vivo Girl Sports, Inc. you can opt out of receiving further e-mails by following the included instructions to unsubscribe.

Information from Other Sources:

 

For purposes such as improving personalization of our service, we may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
