At (“Vavve”), we value your trust and respect your privacy.
Vavve exists to support entrepreneurs like you by offering a fast and easy way to manage your money, while respecting your privacy expectations.
This privacy policy applies to Vavveapps.com and, its subdomains (the “Site”), and our mobile apps, all of which are owned and operated by Vavve Financial Inc. It does not apply to any third-party websites, which have their own policies. Throughout this policy, when we say Vavve, we mean our company, including the Site and any Vavve mobile apps, and when we say Services we mean the various financial products and services, and apps we make available to you through our Site and mobile apps, including our payments, payroll, accounting, invoicing services, and other small business–related services and support.
By “Personal Information”, we mean information about an identifiable individual. That’s what this policy is about – our collection, protection, use, retention, disclosure and other processing of Personal Information and your rights relating to these activities. We also compile certain aggregate data about our users.
We use Personal Information in order to provide you and your business with the Services. Our Privacy Policy is based on the following 10 fair information principles:
Vavve has named a Privacy Officer who is responsible for all things privacy at Vavve. This includes our policies and procedures that are designed to keep your information safe. If you have any questions about our privacy practices or this policy, you can contact me at: Email: privacy@vavve.com
Vavve collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise manages Personal Information in a variety of ways related to the Services we provide. We’ve outlined these below. Your use of the Services determines which information we collect and use. For example, payroll information is optional, unless you’d liketo use Vavve Payroll to run payrolls, at which point we will need to collect payroll information in order to provide you with this service. Similarly, when you create an invoice, your customer’s email is optional, but if you’d like to us to deliver the invoice by email, this information becomes necessary. Vavve may collect, use, store, or disclose your Personal Information for the purposes described below.
Vavve takes a consent-based approach to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information.
When you submit the Personal Information of your customers or employees to us, you are responsible for informing such customers and employees about Vavve, and for obtaining any necessary consent or authority from them.
You may also choose to refer someone to our Site. We will send them a single invitation email to the address you provide. Please ensure that you only submit email addresses of individuals or businesses with whom you have a relationship and who would want to receive the message.
Vavve only collects the Personal Information necessary to provide the Services to you. The Services you use will determine which information Vavve collects. We’ll also provide you the option of sharing additional information to enhance your Vavve experience.
Vavve may also use third-party services to supplement or enrich our understanding of our customers. This includes cross-referencing information like a name, business name, email address or IP address in third-party databases, and using the information there to improve our understanding of you and your business.
Some of the Services allow you to provide access to your Vavve account to other authorized users, which we call “guest collaborators”. Guest collaborators have access to information in your Vavve account, including Personal Information, and may perform various tasks on your behalf. You take full responsibility for any collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information by your collaborator(s).
To provide access to your account to a guest collaborator, you must provide the collaborator’s name and email address. We will send them a single email inviting them to the Site. Vavve only uses this information to invite your collaborator. Please ensure that you only submit email addresses of individuals or businesses that you have a relationship with and who would want to receive the
