Privacy Policy

We are committed to securing your private information

Because Rizevo understands that the privacy of your personal information is important to you, we have established privacy policies and practices. This notice explains how your data will be used and shared by Rizevo. By visiting rizevo.com, you accept the policies and practices described in this privacy policy. This privacy policy is incorporated into, and is subject to, the Terms of Use. Any capitalized terms not defined in this policy have the meaning set forth in the Terms of Use.

What Our Privacy Policy Covers

Rizevo is committed to the privacy and confidentiality of the information provided by its users. This Privacy Policy describes the type of personal data that Rizevo (“Rizevo,” “we,” or “us”) collects through your use of our website, our products, support, payment and mobile apps, our marketing, demonstrations, and promotions, and our communications with you through our website or by phone, email, or live chat and online services, including your comments and feedback (collectively, the “Services”). The term “Personal Data” refers to any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. Personal Data includes, without limitation, personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, date of birth, email address or postal address, and payment information. Please note that by submitting Personal Data manually or in electronic form to us and/or by using our website, you give your consent that all Personal Data submitted on each occasion may be processed by and/or shared with Rizevo and its service providers, in the manner and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not want us to collect or process Personal Data, please do not provide it, but you may not be able to take advantage of our Services or certain features of our Services.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us. As an example, all credit card information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, no method of transmission is 100% secure. Therefore, Rizevo does not guarantee any confidentiality or privacy with respect to any of your personal information or User Submissions. Rizevo does not assume any liability to third parties whose information you include on the Site, or which you post in any User Submissions. Please keep your username and password secure.

Children’s Information

Rizevo’s services, platform, and communications whether educational or marketing in nature are not directed at children under eighteen years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under eighteen. If we obtain actual knowledge that a child under eighteen has provided personal information to us, we will promptly delete that information. Please report any suspected instances to hello@rizevo.com.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Signup Information. When you sign up for the Rizevo platform, you will be asked to provide your name, email address, phone number, physical or mailing address, business name, and industry type, as well as information related to your business service offerings, working hours, and staff members.

Customer or Staff Information. With your consent, you may import staff or customer contact information to Rizevo for the purposes of scheduling appointments. This information includes the staff or customer’s name, phone number, email address, physical or mailing address, and an image of their likeness.

Staff Profiles. A Rizevo account holder may create one or more additional staff profiles with his or her colleagues, or members of their organization. Those colleagues or members may voluntarily give us certain information. This can include their names, email addresses, phone numbers, and short descriptions of personal or professional characteristics intended to inform the Rizevo user’s customers or clientele. If you receive an invitation from a Rizevo account holder but do not wish to become a Rizevo user, please contact the account holder who sent the invitation to discuss other means of managing your appointment calendar.

Technical Support. If you call, email, or otherwise contact Rizevo for technical support, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to Rizevo.

Third Party Integrations within Rizevo

Rizevo integrates with a number of third-party apps and software platforms to allow for greater functionality and expanded services offerings. Some examples of these integrations include MailChimp and Infusionsoft, for which the Rizevo user must maintain their own MailChimp or Infusionsoft account, respectively. If you use these integrations within Rizevo, you should be aware of the separate privacy policies for those services and platforms. It is also important to obtain your customers’ consent before passing or transmitting their personal information from Rizevo to a third-party app.

When handling requests from your customers to remove personal data from your systems, you may be obligated to remove personal data from any third-party platforms that you have activated an integration with in your Rizevo account. Rizevo cannot, for example, delete personal information held by MailChimp as part of your usage of a MailChimp account.

However, Rizevo will practice due diligence in supporting any requests to delete personal information from a third-party app, service, or platform, insofar as Rizevo can assist in helping the Rizevo user communicate those requests to third party apps, services, and platforms directly.
