Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information we collect when you use Jeevoka’s sites, services, products, and content (“Services”). It also has information about how we store, use, transfer, and delete that information. 

Information We Collect & How We Use It

Jeevoka doesn’t collect data in order to advertise to you. The tracking we do at Jeevoka is to make our product work as well as possible. This includes basic product functions like allowing a metered paywall to work and key features like personalizing what posts you see based on what we think you’ll like. So, to give you the best possible experience in using Jeevoka, we collect information from your interactions with our Services. Some of this information, you actively tell us (such as your email address, which we use to track your account or communicate with you). Other information, we collect based on actions you take while using Jeevoka, such as what pages you view (including how much of a given page and for how long) and your use of product features (like Bookmark, follows, and likes). This information includes records of those interactions, your Internet Protocol address, information about your device (such as device or browser type), and referral information (how you got to a particular page).We use this information to:

  • Provide, test, improve, promote and personalize the Services
  • Fight spam and other forms of abuse
  • Generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use the Services

When you create your Jeevoka account, and authenticate with a third-party service (like Twitter, Facebook, Apple or Google) we may collect, store, and periodically update information associated with that third-party account, such as your lists of friends or followers. We will never publish something through one of your third-party accounts without your express permission.

Information Disclosure

Jeevoka won’t transfer information about you to third parties for the purpose of providing or facilitating third-party advertising to you. We won’t sell information about you to a third-party.

We may transfer your account information with third parties in some circumstances, including: (1) with your consent; (2) to a service provider or partner who meets our data protection standards; (3) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; (4) when we have a good faith belief that doing so will help prevent imminent harm to someone.

If we are going to share your information in response to legal process, we’ll give you notice so you can challenge it (for example by seeking court intervention), unless we’re prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others or cause illegal conduct. We will object to legal requests for information about users of our services that we believe are improper.

Public Data

Search engines may index your Jeevoka user profile page, public interactions (such as likes or bookmarks), and post pages, such that people may find these pages when searching against your name on services like Google or Bing. Users may also share links to your content on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.

Data Storage

Jeevoka uses third-party vendors and hosting partners for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run Jeevoka. We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs. By using the Services, you authorize Jeevoka to transfer, store, and use your information in India and any other country where we operate.

Third-Party Embeds

Some of the content that you see displayed on Jeevoka is not hosted by Jeevoka. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in a Jeevoka page, so that it appears to be part of that page. For example: YouTube or Vimeo videos, Imgur or Giphy gifs, SoundCloud audio files, Twitter tweets, GitHub code snippets, or Scribd documents that appear within a Jeevoka post. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Jeevoka post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, that video appears because of a pointer to files hosted by YouTube, and in turn YouTube receives data about your activity, such as your IP address and how much of the video you watch).

Jeevoka doesn’t control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they ultimately do with it. So, third-party embeds on Jeevoka are not covered by this Privacy Policy. They are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service (so, when you watch a YouTube video embedded in a Jeevoka post, the use of data about your interactions with the video would be covered by YouTube’s privacy policy).

Some embeds may ask you for personal information, such as submitting your email address, through a form linked to from a Jeevoka post. We do our best to keep bad actors off of Jeevoka. However, if you choose to submit your information to a third party this way, we don’t know what they may do with it. As explained above, their actions are not covered by this Privacy Policy. So, please be careful when you see embedded forms on Jeevoka asking for your email address or any other personal information. Make sure you understand who you are submitting your information to and what they say they plan to do with it. We suggest that you do not submit your email address or other personal information to any third-party through an embedded form.

When posting on Jeevoka, you may not embed a form that allows submission of personal information by users. You must link offsite to a page that allows such submissions by users, and that page’s appearance must be distinct enough from Jeevoka to ensure it does not cause confusion among users over to whom they are submitting personal information. Failure to do so may lead Jeevoka to disable the post or take other action to limit or disable your account.

Tracking & Cookies

We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences , and personalize content and other services.

We track your interactions within the Jeevoka Services (which encompasses Jeevoka.com, custom domains hosted by Jeevoka).

Some third-party services that we use to provide the Service, such as Google Analytics, may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Jeevoka only and not the use of cookies by third parties.

Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Information

If you have a Jeevoka account, you can access or modify your personal information, or delete your account here.

To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may maintain residual copies for a brief time period (generally several weeks). But, if you delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable. Jeevoka may preserve and maintain copies of your information beyond this time period when required to do so by law.

Data Security

We use encryption to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.

Email from Jeevoka

Sometimes we’ll send you emails about your account, service changes or new policies. You can’t opt out of this type of “transactional” email (unless you delete your account). But, you can opt out of non-administrative emails such as digests, newsletters, and activity notifications.

When you interact with an email sent from Jeevoka (such as opening an email or clicking on a particular link in an email), we may receive information about that interaction.

We won’t email you to ask for your password or other account information. If you receive such an email, please forward it to us at contact@jeevoka.com so we can investigate.

Changes to this Policy

Jeevoka may periodically update this Policy. We’ll notify you about significant changes to it. The most current version of the policy will always be here and we will archive former versions of the policy here.
