The Vitality Project (“Vitality,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.

PII
In this Privacy Policy, “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII” refers to any information about an identifiable individual and any information that is linked to an identifiable individual. In some jurisdictions, business contact information or employee information may be included in the definition of PII, but we use it here to refer specifically to clientele and users of our Services.

We may also track what online audio, visual, and audiovisual content has been viewed or otherwise consumed on an aggregate basis or by an individual user. By viewing videos via the Service, you implicitly agree we can track your video viewing history and consent to said tracking.

We use your PII to communicate with you for Service-related purposes. For example, we may send email to the email address you provide to us or text messages, to verify your account and for informational and operational purposes, such as account management, customer service, system maintenance, and other Service-related purposes.

How We Share Your Information
We will not sell your PII.
In the following circumstances, we may share your information with your consent: consent may be express or implied depending on the context:
Third Party Service Providers.
We use Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) to process all payments made via the Service. Stripe handles any payment card information and other information you provide to them in accordance with their privacy policy which can be found at: https://stripe.com/us/privacy.

Corporate Transactions.
Vitality reserves the right to transfer your PII to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties who are subject to confidentiality obligations in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets.

Aggregate, De-Identified Information.
Vitality may use your PII to create aggregate or statistical information that does not directly identify a specific person, and we may share that information. By way of illustration, we may share anonymous and aggregated reports and information on user demographics and traffic patterns with third parties. This aggregated information does not constitute PII or identify any individuals.
Information Security
Vitality makes all reasonable efforts to secure your information in accordance with V3P. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee all privacy due to the nature of the internet. Though we do not anticipate any breaches of privacy, we cannot warrant against unintended breaches. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.
Children’s Privacy
Minors under 18 are not permitted to use the Service and we do not intentionally collect information from minors under 13. If you believe we have collected any PII from a child younger than 13 years of age, please notify us immediately at info@vitalityprojectapp.com, and we will do anything reasonably possible to remove that information from our systems.

Access and Correction
If you have an account with Vitality then you may access and update certain PII at any time by logging into your account on our platform. You may also at any time, request access to PII that Vitality holds about you by contacting us at info@vitalityprojectapp.com.
We will endeavor to process any requests for access to PII within a reasonable period of time.
