Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

13. Data Breach Notification

A data breach being defined as an event or series of events where protected or privileged information of users or employees held by Grivio is accessed by unauthorized individuals or organizations. It is the policy of Grivio to take reasonable steps including but not limited to: disabling faulty systems until they can be secured, removing systems, modifying business processes, making user notifications within 72 hours of the event, and notification of relevent regulatory and law enforcement authorities. We will not pay ransoms for data or to stop attacks.

In the event of a data breach information is likely to be limited, and potentially contradictory, in good faith we intend to notify users as soon as possible of a breach if one occurs. Our first priority is to limit the scope and scale of a breach in doing so, support and systems may be slow or unresponsive.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes and maintain a copy for yourself.
