Privacy Policy
- What Personal Information About Customers
Do We Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and
continually improve our App. Here are the types of information we gather:
Information You Give Us: We receive
and store any information you enter on our App or give us in any other way. You
provide most such information when you register with the App, search, post,
participate in a contest or questionnaire, participate in a chat or acquire a
subscription, communicate with our Support Team. Certain items of information
are mandatory in order to register with the App and gain access to
Communication (your first name, e-mail address, gender, date of birth and city
or town where you live). We have the ability to retain your contact details
should you input them on the App even if you do not complete your registration.
You also provide information when you search for a person; provide information
in your account; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a
questionnaire or a contest entry form; use our other services. As a result of
those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address,
and phone numbers; credit card information; content of e-mails to us; personal
description and photographs in your account; and financial information. You can
choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to
take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide
for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing our App for you,
improving our App, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive
and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For
example, like many Apps, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain
types of information when your Web browser accesses our App or advertisements
and other content served by or on behalf of Vikiroom on other Apps. Examples of
the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP)
address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address;
password; computer and connection information such as browser type, version,
and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system,
and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
clickstream to, through, and from our App, including date and time; cookie
number; pages and other people accounts you viewed or searched for. We may also
use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local
Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our App for fraud
prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools
such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page
response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page
interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and
methods used to browse away from the page. We may also collect technical
information to help us identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic
purposes.
Mobile: When you download or use
apps created by Vikiroom or our subsidiaries, we may receive information about
your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your
device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based
services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content.
Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services. If you have
questions about how to disable your device\'s location services, we recommend
you contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.
E-mail Communications: To help us
make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when
you open e-mail from Vikiroom if your computer supports such capabilities. We
also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an
effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it
to our account information. Examples of information we receive from other
sources include account information, purchase or redemption information, and
page-view information from some companies with which we operate co-branded
businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or
other services.
- Cookies
Cookies are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us
to recognise you as our App customer if you return to our App using the same
computer and browser. We send a "session cookie" to your computer if
and when you log in to your account by entering your email address and password
or otherwise use Communications. These cookies allow us to recognise you if you
visit multiple pages on our site during the same session, so that you don\'t
need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you log out or close your
browser, these session cookies expire and no longer have any effect.
We also use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to display
your email address on our log-in form, so that you don\'t have to retype your
email address each time you log in to your account. We encode our cookies so
that only we can interpret the information stored in them.
We also use cookies to customise the Communications, content, and
advertising; to measure promotional effectiveness, and to promote trust and
safety.
Non-personal data may be gathered on our behalf using cookies, log file
data, and code that is embedded on our App by specific third party partners. We
use this non-personal information to help improve the services we provide to
you. The non-personal data gathered is used to provide anonymised statistical
information.
The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser
from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive
a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can
disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies,
by changing the add-on\'s settings or visiting the App of its manufacturer.
Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our essential features,
we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or
otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to use any of our services
that require you to Sign in.
- Does Vikiroom Share the Information?
We share customer information only as described below.
Your Profile: The
information contained in your personal ad, your search criteria and your
profile can be accessed on the App. In addition, these information may be
broadcasted directly by Vikiroom or via our partners to persons interested in
the App, through newsletters or third-party Apps, or by all other electronic
(email, text messaging, etc.) or audiovisual (radio, television, etc.)
communication tools, or by written press (newspapers, magazines, etc.), in
order to increase your chances of meeting someone by promoting your person ads,
search criteria and profile. Consequently, you explicitly authorise Vikiroom to
reproduce and broadcast the information contained in your personal ad, search
criteria or profile (personal information, description, images, videos, etc.)
on all or part of the Communications (on the App, on the Internet, by email)
and/or in a general manner, on all distribution media, in particular
audiovisual communication (press, radio, analogue television, digital
television, cable or satellite) or electronic communication (email, Internet),
throughout the entire world and for the length of time established in these
Terms of Use between you and the App. You explicitly authorise Vikiroom to
transfer the information you provided to us and the benefits of the above
mentioned rights to our partners and eventual successors.
Financial Information: Vikiroom
doesn“t store your financial information or credit card details.
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ
other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include providing applications, sending postal mail and e- mail, analyzing
data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and
providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to
perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we
send offers to selected groups of our App customers on behalf of other
businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and
address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your “E-mail
Notification“ preferences in the “Settings“ menu of your account.
Business Transfers: As we
continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other Apps,
subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the
promises made in any pre- existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the
customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Vikiroom, or
substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of
course be one of the transferred assets. Vikiroom may occasionally share general
socio-demographic information that does not include names with selected
partners to allow them to target their announcements (by age category, gender,
etc.). In this case, we will not send these partners any information that would
allow them to identify you.
Protection of Vikiroom: We release
account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate
to comply with the law; enforce or apply these Terms and Conditions and other
agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Vikiroom, our users,
or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously,
however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise
disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this clause.
With Your Consent: Other than
as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go
to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the
information.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
We are committed to handling your customer information with high standards
of information security. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data
encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and
we authorise access to personal information only for those employees who
require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables
you to access certain parts of the App, you are responsible for keeping the
password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data,
we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the App; any
transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we
will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised
access.
- Where we store your personal data
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and
stored at, a location outside the European Economic Area (\'EEA\'). It may also
be processed by staff located outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our
suppliers (for example, staff who are involved in providing services that you
order from us, processing your payment details or providing support services
for the App). By submitting your personal data to us through the App, you agree
to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably
necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with
this clause.
- Which Information Can I Access?
Vikiroom gives you access to a broad range of information about your
account for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that
information. Examples of information you can access easily at the App include
personally identifiable information (including name, e-mail, sex, age,
photographs and place where you live); e-mail notification settings.
- What Choices Do I Have?
- As discussed above, you can always choose
not to provide information, even though it might be needed to take
advantage of Communications.
- You can add or update certain information
in the “Settings“ menu of your account. There you can correct your name,
e-mail address, phone number, change your password. When you update
information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
- In the “Settings“ menu of your account you
can also change your notification preferences. If you do not want to
receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust “E-mail Notification“
preferences in the “Settings“ menu of your account.
- If you no longer wish for Vikiroom or our
partners to reproduce or broadcast the information comprised in your
personal ad, your search criteria, or your profile, you can terminate
your App account by writing a request to vikiroom.vr@gmail.com. Since
this information is comprised of your personal ad, your search criteria
and your profile, the termination will only take effect upon the next
update or version of these communications (printed, press, audiovisual,
or electronic) containing your personal ad, your search criteria and your
profile information.
- Are Children Allowed to Use the App?
Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that minors
(persons under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us or
use our services.

- In the case where you use paid services of
the App or recharge your account on the App, Vikiroom is entitled to award
additional bonus money to your account. Some of your actions may lead to
the accrual of bonus money, and the amount of credited bonuses is
determined solely by Vikiroom and can be changed by it unilaterally with
the placement of information about it on the App. Bonus money can be used
to pay for the services of the App. Vikiroom may impose restrictions on
the use of bonus money, including a limited range of services for which
payment is possible with the use of bonus money.
- If you have a positive
balance on your account on the App and you do not use the App“s paid
services within three months, you recognize this request, addressed to Vikiroom,
to exchange the balance money to an equal amount of bonus money.
