Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and scope

Read My Vibe (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates readmyvibe.com and related services, including Internet Fame Score and First Impression AI. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information.

This policy is intended to comply with:

• European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA): Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and applicable national laws.
• United Kingdom: UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
• United States: California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, and other applicable federal and state privacy laws where we conduct business.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or California, you may have additional rights described in the “Your rights” section below.

2. Data controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data in relation to this website and our services is the entity operating readmyvibe.com. For privacy-related requests, please use the contact details at the end of this policy.

3. Information we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Account and registration data: email address, name (if provided), password (stored in hashed form), and any profile information you choose to provide.
• Payment and billing data: information necessary to process payments (e.g. through our payment provider), such as billing details. We do not store full card numbers; payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors that comply with applicable standards (e.g. PCI-DSS).
• Service usage data: when you use our scoring or analysis features (e.g. Internet Fame Score, First Impression), we may process data obtained from linked accounts or platforms solely to generate your score and analysis. Such data is used only for providing the service and is not used for advertising or sold to third parties.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and similar technical data that we or our service providers collect automatically (e.g. for security, analytics, or improving the site).
• Communications: if you contact us (e.g. support or feedback), we keep records of those communications.

We do not sell your personal information in the sense of the CCPA (we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary consideration). We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

4. Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK)

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process your personal data on one or more of the following bases:

• Contract: processing necessary to perform our contract with you (e.g. account creation, providing scoring and analysis services, processing payments).
• Legitimate interests: processing necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g. security, fraud prevention, improving our services), where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: where we rely on consent (e.g. optional marketing, certain cookies), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Legal obligation: processing necessary to comply with applicable law (e.g. tax, anti-fraud, or regulatory requirements).

5. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account and authenticate you.
• Provide our services (Internet Fame Score, First Impression AI, and related features).
• Process payments and fulfil orders.
• Communicate with you about your account, our services, or in response to your enquiries.
• Improve, secure, and operate our website and services (including analytics and troubleshooting).
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We do not use your personal data for profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, except where permitted by law (e.g. fraud prevention).

6. Sharing and disclosure

We may share your personal information with:

• Service providers: hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, and other providers that assist us in operating the site and services. Such providers are bound by contract to use your data only as instructed and to protect it appropriately.
• Legal and regulatory: where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent.

7. International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA or UK to a country not recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or UK authorities, or other mechanisms permitted by law). You may request details of these safeguards via the contact details below.

8. Data retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to provide our services, comply with legal obligations (e.g. tax, accounting), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Account and usage data are typically retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after closure; specific retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirement. You may request deletion of your data subject to applicable law (see “Your rights” below).

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include secure transmission (e.g. HTTPS), access controls, and secure storage. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we encourage you to use a strong password and to keep your login details confidential.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g. local storage) to:

• Keep you logged in and maintain your session.
• Remember your preferences (e.g. language, theme).
• Understand how the site is used (e.g. analytics) and to improve performance.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site. By continuing to use our site after being informed of our use of cookies (including via our cookie notice), you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, where consent is required by law.
