At Rove Incorporated, your privacy is a top priority. We believe in providing you with a personalized, secure, and enjoyable digital experience. The Rove Incorporated Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to be transparent and easy to understand, outlining how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your information. We are committed to using your data only as contemplated by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies to all Rove users of any of Rove’s platform or services (collectively, “Services”), and visitors to our website (www.rove.zone, and together with its subdomains, the “Website”). This Privacy Policy is intended to apply to the extent required by applicable privacy laws, and is not intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us.
Prior to inquiring about, discussing or obtaining our Services, please read this Privacy Policy and make sure you fully understand our practices in relation to Personal Information. If you are opposed to this Privacy Policy, you must immediately leave and discontinue all use of any of our Services.
To provide you with Services, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with, a particular consumer or household (“Personal Information”). We may collect Personal Information you provide us, from your use of the Services and from other sources. Here are the types of Personal Information we may collect about you: name; phone number; email address; date of birth; and any other information you provide to us or that we otherwise receive in connection with Services provided by us that satisfies the above definition of Personal Information.
When you register, you may also share additional Personal Information - like a profile image or other information you choose to include - to help others recognize you on our platform.
As you interact with our Service, we collect the content you provide (such as posts, messages, photos, and other media) and gather information about your activity. This includes details like the time and date of your interactions and how you engage with various features within the app. Importantly, because location is a key part of our Service - powering both post tagging and our map features - we also collect location data when you use these features. This helps us serve localized content and enables you to discover nearby posts and events in a meaningful way. Such data may also constitute Personal Information.
Finally, if you contact our Support team or interact with our community features, we collect the necessary information to address your inquiries and continuously improve our service.
We use a combination of direct and automated methods to gather the information that powers our Service:
We may collect and use anonymized, de-identified and aggregated information to the extent permitted by applicable law. We may use automated decision-making techniques to help us improve the Services, and to monitor, identify and block users that send spam or engage in other abusive or fraudulent activity, provided that we (i) still have a human involved in the process (and so are not fully automated); or (ii) use such decision making in ways that don’t have significant privacy implications (for example, filtering incoming emails so that they divert to email client spam folders).
We may use Personal Information for the following purposes (“Purposes”):
To discuss and provide our Services;
To enter into or perform contracts with you;
To further develop, customize, expand and improve our Services;
To provide customer assistance and support;
To be able to contact users or potential users with general or personalized Service-related notices and promotional messages;
For internal administration purposes, such as internal record-keeping and reporting;
To facilitate, sponsor and offer certain events and promotions;
To analyze our performance and marketing activities;
To create aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and inferred information that we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective Services;
To monitor, deter or respond to any actual or potential fraud or security behaviors, incidents or events;
To enhance our data security and fraud prevention capabilities; and
To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.
We may disclose your Personal Information to third-party service providers, including without limitation web-hosting companies, vendors, analytics providers, event-hosting services, information technology providers, and auditors, and others, in each case only for the purposes described herein. Additionally, our Website or Services may utilize services provided by third parties to which you may provide Personal Information, which may have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy, security or other practices of such third parties to which you provide Personal Information via our Services or Website, and we are not responsible for their respective activities and practices. Accordingly, we recommend that you review any privacy policies of such third-parties on any external site before disclosing any Personal Information using such services. Please contact such third parties directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies and practices.
We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to Personal Information. All information you provide to us is securely stored and we take reasonable measures to transmit your Personal Information securely, including for example encrypting Personal Information during storage and transmission. We are not responsible for any third-party software or hardware security vulnerabilities.
Some jurisdictions may require us to have legal grounds for processing Personal Information. Where applicable law requires us to justify our processing activities, we rely on the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract. We may need to collect and use Personal Information to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have with us. For example, when you engage our Services, we will use Personal Information to respond to your requests and provide you with such Services.
Consent. Where required, we will obtain consent. For example, some jurisdictions require us to obtain consent to process Personal Information for direct marketing. You may withdraw such consent at any time as provided herein.
Legitimate interests. We use Personal Information for our legitimate interests to improve our Services and the content on our Website as well as for our business purposes. For example, we may use electronic tools to internally process your Personal Information.
Legal obligation. We process Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
We do not sell Personal Information to third parties. We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties except to the extent permitted or required by law or regulation or pursuant to a legal process (e.g., subpoenas, regulatory requests, investigations) or to protect our rights or property. We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities around the world.
Where required by applicable law, you can modify and control Personal Information, including:
You may request deletion of your Personal Information at any time by contacting us according to the below Notices provision. We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise received by us, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements, including statute of limitation periods.

We do not knowingly solicit or collect Personal Information online from children. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 (or such other age relevant to applicable children’s privacy laws) has submitted Personal Information online without parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law).
