Service providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to provide services to Vivakor and are expected to handle that information appropriately.
Vivakor does not currently sell personal information collected through this Website or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Third-Party Services and Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, social-media platforms, regulatory resources, stock-information providers or other external content.
Vivakor does not control the privacy, security or content practices of those third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected directly by a third party. Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party websites and services before providing information to them.
The Website may rely on third-party technology and service providers for functions such as:
- Website hosting
- WordPress software and plugins
- Website security and malware protection
- Contact-form delivery
- Caching and content delivery
- Maps or location information
- Stock-market and regulatory information
- Social-media links
Use of those services may result in limited technical information being transmitted to the applicable provider as necessary to provide the requested functionality.
6. Data Retention
Vivakor retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Maintain appropriate business records
- Fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy
- Comply with legal, regulatory, contractual and corporate obligations
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Protect Vivakor’s legal rights, systems and operations
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.
7. Information Security
Vivakor uses reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, network or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. Vivakor cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Website or by email.
The FTC advises businesses to ensure that their public privacy representations accurately match their actual information practices and safeguards.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general business and investor audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.
Vivakor does not knowingly collect personal information through the Website from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been submitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, subject to applicable legal requirements.
COPPA generally applies to websites directed toward children under 13 and to general-audience services that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from a child under 13.
9. Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and the applicability of relevant law, you may have certain rights regarding personal information, which may include the right to:
- Request access to certain personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Obtain information regarding categories of information collected, used or disclosed
- Opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information
- Appeal a decision concerning a privacy-rights request
- Not be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, identity-verification requirements and applicability thresholds.
To submit a privacy request, email info@vivakor.co with the subject line Privacy Request. Please include sufficient information for Vivakor to identify and respond to your request. Vivakor may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Vivakor has not represented in this draft that it is definitively subject to the CCPA, CPRA or any particular state comprehensive privacy statute. That determination should be made by legal counsel based on Vivakor’s revenue, data volumes, business activities and applicable statutory thresholds. California’s current materials make clear that applicability depends on defined criteria, not merely where a company has offices.
10. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers and devices provide Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control or similar preference signals.
Because industry standards and legal requirements concerning these signals continue to develop, the Website may not respond uniformly to every signal. Where applicable law requires Vivakor to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out signal, Vivakor will take reasonable steps to do so.
11. International Visitors
The Website is operated from the United States. Information submitted through the Website may be processed and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in other jurisdictions.
By submitting information through the Website, international visitors acknowledge that their information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, subject to applicable law.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Vivakor may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
- Website functionality
- Information practices
- Service providers
- Legal or regulatory requirements
- Corporate operations
The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through additional notices where appropriate or legally required.
