Effective Date: April 24, 2026
Welcome to Vavee.com (“Vavee,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Vavee is a social media platform that allows users to create profiles, post short messages (“Vees”), share media, follow other users, send direct messages, and engage in public conversation. We take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains, in clear language, what information we collect about you, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices and rights you have with respect to that information.
By creating an account, accessing, or using Vavee.com or any of our related mobile applications, APIs, plugins, or other services (collectively, the “Services”), you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please do not use the Services.
A note about legal process: While we are deeply committed to protecting your privacy, Vavee is required to comply with valid legal requests. If we receive a lawful court order, subpoena, search warrant, or other binding legal demand, we will disclose the information required by that order. See Section 6 (“Legal Compliance and Government Requests”) for a full explanation.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by Vavee through the Services, whether you access them through our website at https://www.vavee.com, our iOS or Android apps, our developer APIs, or any feature we may offer in the future. It does not apply to information collected by third-party websites, services, or applications that integrate with Vavee or that you access through links posted on Vavee.
We collect information in three broad ways: (a) information you provide directly, (b) information we collect automatically when you use the Services, and (c) information we receive from third parties.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only in the following circumstances:
Your profile, your public Vees, who you follow, and who follows you are public by default. Anyone, including people who do not use Vavee, can view, search, copy, quote, or archive this information. If you do not want something to be public, do not post it on Vavee, or set your account to “protected.”
We share information with trusted vendors who process it on our behalf under strict confidentiality and data-protection obligations. Categories include cloud hosting (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud), content delivery networks, payment processors, SMS and email providers, customer-support platforms, analytics vendors, and fraud-prevention services.
We share aggregated or pseudonymized information with advertisers and measurement partners so they can evaluate the reach and effectiveness of their campaigns. We do not share your email address, phone number, direct messages, or other directly identifying information with advertisers without your explicit consent.
If you connect a third-party app to your Vavee account (for example, a scheduling tool or a game that uses Vavee login), we share the information you authorize with that partner. You can review and revoke these connections at any time in your account settings.
If Vavee is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you (for example, by email or an in-app notice) if this results in a materially different use of your information.
We may share your information for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time and with your consent.
We will comply with valid legal process. Although we are committed to protecting your privacy, Vavee operates within legal systems that may compel us to disclose your information. We may access, preserve, and share your information (including account registration details, IP and device logs, content you have posted, direct messages, and any other data we hold about you) when we have a good-faith belief that doing so is necessary to:
We scrutinize every request we receive. If a request is overbroad, legally defective, or inconsistent with applicable law, we will push back, narrow it, or challenge it in court, including by seeking to unseal or modify gag orders where permitted. Where we are legally able, we will notify affected users before disclosing their information so that the user has an opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise object. We will not provide notice when prohibited by law (for example, when a court has issued a non-disclosure order) or in emergencies involving imminent risk of harm.
We may preserve information for up to 90 days (renewable) upon receipt of a valid preservation request from a law enforcement agency, even before a subpoena, court order, or warrant is issued. Preservation alone does not result in disclosure.
We publish a Transparency Report twice a year describing the volume and nature of government requests we receive, the percentage with which we complied in whole or in part, and the jurisdictions involved. The latest report is available at https://www.vavee.com/transparency.
Law enforcement officials seeking records about a Vavee user should review our Law Enforcement Guidelines at https://www.vavee.com/legal/law-enforcement, which describe the types of process we require, how to serve legal requests, and what information is available for each type of request.
We implement technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption of data in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher, encryption of data at rest, role-based access controls, audit logging, network segmentation, regular penetration testing, vulnerability management, a formal incident response program, and mandatory security training for our employees and contractors.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.
Vavee and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer or through your browser settings. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required by law.
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights with respect to your personal information:
You can exercise many of these rights directly within your account settings at https://www.vavee.com/settings/privacy, including downloading an archive of your data, deactivating your account, or deleting it permanently. For other requests, contact us using the details in Section 15.
We keep your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete a Vee, it is immediately removed from public view and deleted from our active systems within 30 days. Backup copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days. When you delete your account, we begin a 30-day deactivation period (during which you can restore it), after which we delete or de-identify your personal information, except where we are required to retain it by law or where it is necessary for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, security, accounting, tax compliance, or the defense of legal claims.
Vavee is headquartered in the United States and operates data centers in multiple countries. When you use the Services, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than your own, which may have data-protection laws that differ from those of your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, including the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and, where available, adequacy decisions. You may request a copy of the safeguards we use by contacting privacy@vavee.com.
Vavee is not directed to children under the age of 13, or under 16 in certain jurisdictions (including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable age. If we learn that we have collected such information without a parent’s or guardian’s verifiable consent, we will delete it as quickly as possible. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Vavee, please contact us at privacy@vavee.com.
Residents of U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws have the rights described in Section 9, including the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising. You can exercise these rights via the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our website. Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months and the business purposes for which each is used are listed in Sections 3 and 4 of this Policy. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of users under 16 without opt-in consent.
Where GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, our legal bases for processing are: performance of our contract with you (to provide the Services), legitimate interests (to keep Vavee safe, improve our products, and conduct marketing), compliance with legal obligations, and, where required, your consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our EU and UK representatives can be reached at the addresses listed in Section 15.
We honor the rights granted to you by your local laws. Please contact privacy@vavee.com to exercise those rights or to ask questions about how we process your information.
We use automated systems and machine-learning models to rank content in your timeline, recommend accounts, detect spam and abuse, target advertising, and make certain enforcement decisions (such as temporarily limiting the reach of content that appears to violate our policies). Where these decisions have a significant effect on you, you have the right to request human review. Contact us at privacy@vavee.com to exercise this right.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email, through an in-app notice, or by prominently posting the updated Policy on the Services at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless a shorter notice period is required by law. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
