Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 29, 2026

Article 1 (Purpose and Scope)

This Privacy Policy explains how VARYN VIVID (operator of ORVIT) collects, uses, discloses, and processes personal data when you use our services.

Article 2 (How We Use Personal Data)

1. Service Provision: Providing business networking features (recommendations, connections, messaging, project-based matching) and synergy analysis features for both professional and personal contexts (e.g., work-style profile, collaboration-fit analysis, interpersonal synergy, and related visualizations), based on user-provided profile information and algorithmic models.

2. Account Management: Creating and managing accounts, verifying identity, preventing fraud, and enforcing policies.

3. Safety and Security: Detecting abuse, spam, and fraud; handling reports and blocks; maintaining platform safety.

4. Service Improvement: Analyzing usage, debugging, maintaining and improving the Service.

5. Marketing (Optional): With your opt-in consent where required, sending promotional communications (e.g., events, offers).

6. Legal Compliance: Complying with legal obligations and responding to lawful requests.

Article 3 (Personal Data We Collect)

1. Information You Provide: email, password, name/nickname, date of birth; optional birth-related details (such as time and location); customer support messages.

2. Automatically Collected: IP address, device identifiers, OS, app version, usage logs, crash reports, cookies or similar technologies (where applicable).

3. Location Data (if permitted): approximate or precise location derived from your device, used only for location-based networking features when enabled. Device-level location permission does not automatically mean your location is shown to other users. Before your location, check-in location, approximate distance, or map-based visibility indicator is displayed to other users on a map or within the Service, we request separate in-app consent, which you may decline. We do not provide automatic check-ins — each time you want your location to be visible to other users, you must manually check in. When you have checked in, other users see only approximate distance indicators (e.g., "within X km"); your exact coordinates (latitude/longitude) are never shown. If you disable location permissions or do not check in, distance indicators are not displayed to other users.

4. Information Visible to Other Users: When you use our networking and synergy analysis features, certain information may be visible to other users. For purposes of this section, "Star-Type" refers to a profile classification generated by the Service based on user-provided information and system analysis, representing general personality tendencies and behavioral patterns. The following information may be visible:

  - Your nickname (or display name) and profile information you choose to share;

  - Your Star-Type and selected synergy insights;

  - Your one-liner introduction on the Connections tab;

  - Projects you have created and chosen to publish (title, description, collaboration details, etc.);

  - Approximate distance indicators, if you have enabled location-based networking;

  - Users you connect with as friends may view mutual professional and personal synergy analysis results;

  - Users you are recommended to on the Connections tab may see your nickname, Star-Type, and approximate distance.

  Sensitive personal data such as your exact birth-related details (e.g., time and location), email address, or precise coordinates are never disclosed to other users.

Article 4 (Legal Bases for Processing)

If you are in the EEA/UK, we process personal data under: (i) performance of a contract, (ii) legitimate interests, (iii) consent, and/or (iv) compliance with legal obligations. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing).

Article 5 (Retention)

- Account data: retained until you delete your account

- Service usage logs: up to 3 years

- Customer support records: up to 1 year after resolution

- Location data: processed only as needed for the location feature and stopped when disabled; retained only for the minimum period necessary for the stated purpose and then deleted or de-identified

Article 6 (Sharing and Disclosure)

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information in the following ways:

Other Users: When you use our networking features, certain profile information, your Star-Type and related insights, and any projects you choose to publish are shared with other users as described in Article 3(4) above. Users you connect with or are matched with may view your profile, Star-Type, and synergy analysis (covering both professional and personal contexts). If you enable location-based networking, approximate distance indicators may be visible to other users within your configured range. If you disable location permissions or adjust visibility settings, we limit or stop sharing distance-based indicators and networking suggestions accordingly.

Service Providers (Processors): We engage U.S.-based third-party service providers in the following categories to operate the Service:

- Cloud database, authentication, and storage

- Backend hosting

- Web hosting (for legal pages and other static pages)

- Push notification delivery (using standard Apple and Google push channels)

- Website usage analytics (page-view measurement)

We require these service providers to process personal data only as instructed and to apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

Legal and Safety: We may disclose data to comply with law, protect safety, enforce policies, or in connection with business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition).

Article 7 (International Data Transfers)

Personal data may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Article 8 (Your Privacy Rights)

Depending on your location, you may have rights to: access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Contact us at team.orvit@myorvit.com.

Article 8.1 (User Content, Reports, Blocking, and Safety Moderation)

We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive users. Objectionable content may include harassment, threats, hate, sexual exploitation, unlawful content, spam, fraud, impersonation, infringement of others' rights, and other harmful or abusive conduct.

Users may report objectionable content or abusive behavior through in-app reporting tools on relevant screens (e.g., user profiles, messages, projects) or by contacting help@myorvit.com. Users may also block other users using the in-app block feature.

We may use automated methods, manual review, or a combination of both to detect, filter, restrict, hide, or remove objectionable content and abusive behavior.

We aim to review and take appropriate action on reports of objectionable content or abusive behavior within 24 hours of receipt, unless exceptional circumstances, such as technical issues, complex investigations, or required legal review, make additional time reasonably necessary.

If we determine that content or conduct violates these policies, applicable law, or safety requirements, we may remove the content and take action against the user, including warning, feature restriction, content removal, account suspension, account termination, or other appropriate measures. We may preserve records related to reports, blocks, and enforcement decisions as reasonably necessary for safety, abuse prevention, dispute resolution, and policy enforcement.

Article 9 (Additional Regional Information)

EEA/UK: You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Japan: Additional cross-border transfer notices may be provided as required by APPI.

United States — California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have the right to:

  (i) know what categories of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and the purposes for doing so;

  (ii) request deletion of personal information we have collected;

  (iii) correct inaccurate personal information;

  (iv) opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;

  (v) limit the use of sensitive personal information; and

  (vi) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at team.orvit@myorvit.com. We will verify your identity before responding.

United States — Other states: Residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (e.g., Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah) have similar rights and may exercise them by contacting us at the email above.

Article 10 (Security)

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. No security measures are perfect.

Article 11 (Children and Age Requirement)

The Service is intended primarily for users 18 years of age or older. Users between the ages of 14 and 17 may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who is deemed to accept these policies and the Terms on the minor's behalf. Where the user's country of residence sets a higher minimum age for digital services, that local age threshold prevails. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 14 without verifiable parental or legal-guardian consent as required by applicable law (including Korea's Personal Information Protection Act). If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child below the applicable minimum age, we will promptly delete the data and the related account. Reports may be sent to team.orvit@myorvit.com.

Article 12 (Changes to This Privacy Policy)

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be notified through the Service. The date above indicates when this Policy was last updated.
