Aggregated Personal Data
In an ongoing effort to better understand our users, we may analyze the Personal Data that is provided to the Website in aggregate form. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Passively Collected information
When you interact with us through the Website, we receive and store certain additional non-personally-identifiable information.

We only use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the Website or Services so that we can make the Website appealing to as many users as possible, and improve our Services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use the Website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and the Website, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.

These service providers may have access to your Personal Data to the extent necessary to perform their functions, but we do not allow them to share or use any of your Personal Data for any other purpose.
Vivre Consulting affiliates
We may share information we collect, including Personal Data, with Vivre Consulting-owned or affiliated businesses. Sharing information with our affiliates enables us to provide you with information about a variety of products and services that might interest you. All Vivre Consulting companies comply with applicable privacy and security laws and, at a minimum, in any commercial email they send to you, will give you the opportunity to choose not to receive such email messages in the future.
Protection of Vivre Consulting and others
We may release Personal Data when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our Company, our employees, our users, or others. This includes, without limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud monitoring, detection, and prevention.
In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
EU Users
On 25 May 2018 a new European privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), comes into force. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations which offer goods and services to EU individuals or which collect and analyze their data. The GDPR applies no matter where the data is processed and where the organization processing data is physically located. It is meant to strengthen users rights in light of fast technological developments and increased globalization of business operations involving any form of processing personal data.
The GDPR regulates the “processing” of personal data for EU individuals, which includes collection, storage, transfer, or use. The term “personal data” is very broad under new regulation and extends to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (a “data subject”).
The GDPR also expands the concept of sensitive data (personal data revealing: racial/ethnic origin, political/religious etc views, trade union membership, health, sex life and sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data).
Vivre Consulting can assure its users that it does not process any of such sensitive data.
Vivre Consulting is committed to comply with EU data protection regulation and provides its EU users with a number of important assurances, such as the following:
- We will keep Your data within Vivre Consulting and our trusted third parties except where disclosure is required by law, for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies.
- Some of our trusted third parties may need to transfer personal data overseas. Being responsible for its users personal data, Vivre Consulting always ensures that Your data remains protected and secure when being transferred.
- Vivre Consulting will process Your data only in accordance with legitimate purpose, i.e. to provide and improve our services. Vivre follows Your instructions regarding storage and processing of Your data. Importantly, the consent given by You to be provided with information about a variety of products and services Vivre Consulting offers can be withdrawn at any time.
- Vivre Consulting users have the “right to be forgotten”, which means the right to require that Vivre Consulting erases personal data about You in certain conditions, including if the personal data is no longer necessary for the original purpose of the processing or if the data subject withdraws consent for the processing.
- You will now also have the right, in certain circumstances, to receive the personal data that You have provided to Vivre Consulting in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Vivre Consulting has and will maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure security of Your data.
- Vivre Consulting will notify You of a security incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the security incident.
