Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Welcome to iZiViD. This Privacy Policy describes the data protection practices of iZiViD B.V., a private limited liability company registered in the Netherlands, with its registered office at Hunzestraat 6 #2, 1079WC Amsterdam, the Netherlands (referred to as “iZiViD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to our websites and downloadable applications that link to this Privacy Policy, and related online and offline services thereto, and any services, transactions, or engagement you might have with us (collectively, the “Services”).
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION. By using the Services, you are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and the iZiViD Terms of Use which allow us to process information about you. As a company based in the Netherlands, we primarily comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Dutch data protection laws, while also adhering to principles similar to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) for a comprehensive child safety standard.
All references to ‘you’ or ‘adult user’ include Main Parent Account holders, Parent Account holders (co-parents), and Adult Account holders (grandparents or trusted caregivers). All references to “children” or “child” shall mean individuals under 16 years of age in the Netherlands and other European Union countries (unless a younger age is indicated by specific member state law where GDPR permits), as well as children under 13 years of age in non-European Union countries, and older children for whom you create a child account. Certain of our Services are designed to be used by children after a responsible adult creates an account (Main Parent Account or Parent Account). In these Services, once a Main Parent Account or Parent Account is created, a child can create a connected account (Child Account).
We encourage you to use the Services with the child user and to view and monitor any content created or uploaded (if applicable) by them. Please review the “Children’s Privacy” section below for details on our information collection, use, and sharing practices related to information collected from children.

For the purposes discussed in this Privacy Policy, we may combine the information that we collect through the Services with information that we receive from other sources, both online and offline, and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified Information”). Subject to applicable law, we may use such Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes.
Online Analytics and Advertising
3. Online Analytics and Advertising
A. Analytics and Advertising. We may use third-party analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Firebase) as well as self-hosted data collection services on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms, and other engagement data); engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.
Usage information of our Services is collected to compile statistical data in order to develop new and improved Services and marketing, identify popular features, and to provide you content that is of interest to you.
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as tracking pixels, to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
We may also partner with third-party advertising companies to promote our service. Where such partnerships involve the use of cookies or similar technologies for personalized advertising, we will obtain your explicit consent beforehand, in accordance with GDPR and e-Privacy Directive requirements. If you respond to one of our advertisements and visit or register to use our Services, we or our service providers may provide these third-party advertising companies with identifiers from your device or computer, such as an IP address or device ID, to help us analyze our user acquisition efforts.
The use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on devices you use to access our Services by non-affiliated third parties is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties.

We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, which is why we describe a variety of opt-out mechanisms above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about Do Not Track.
Legal Bases for Use of Your Information
4. Legal Bases for Use of Your Information
The laws of some jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”), require that companies only process your “Personal Data” (as that term is defined in the applicable law, like the EU General Data Protection Regulation) if they have a “legal basis” (or justifiable need) for processing your Personal Data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal bases for processing Personal Data are as follows:
-
To perform our obligations pursuant to a contract (or pending contract) with you. For example, we will process your Personal Data to comply with the iZiViD Terms of Use as part of entering into a contract with you, and to honor our commitments in any contracts that we have with you.
-
For our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others. For example, we will process your Personal Data to: operate our business and our Services; identify and fix any issues with our Services; provide customer service; secure the Services; learn more about how our customers use the Services; perform internal analytics; improve the Services and users’ experiences; conduct marketing to adult users (with appropriate safeguards and opt-out options); provide you with certain information about new products, special offers or other information that we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided in accordance with applicable law; make and receive payments; comply with legal requirements and defend our legal rights; prevent fraud; engage in a business change (e.g., sale, merger); and to know the customer to whom we are providing Services. We conduct Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs) to ensure our interests are balanced against your data protection rights.
-
To comply with our legal obligations, such as our obligation to share data with tax authorities.
-
With your consent. Where we rely on this basis, you may have the right to withdraw your consent at any time as described in the “Your Rights and Choices” section below. For data concerning children, consent is always obtained from the parent or legal guardian.
How We Disclose Information We Collect
5. How We Disclose Information We Collect
We and our service providers disclose the information we collect from and about you for the following business and operational purposes:
-
Other Users in Accordance with Your Actions or Settings. If you engage with another user, we may disclose your communications and other selected information with that user. Also, in accordance with the applicable settings associated with your account, we may provide access to or disclose information with other users. If you are a Main Parent, certain information may be disclosed to approved Parent or Adult Accounts you have authorized. If you are a Parent or Adult Account holder, your communications and content may be disclosed to the Main Parent and the child’s account, subject to parental controls.
-
Service Providers and Vendors. We provide access to or disclose your information to third-party entities that perform services on our behalf, such as billing, payment processing, advertising, web and other analytics, data storage and processing, customer support, security, fraud prevention, and other services.

You can manage and withdraw this consent at any time through our cookie consent management platform. For direct marketing communications (e.g., emails), you can opt-out by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each communication or by contacting us directly.
iZiViD does not engage in activities that would constitute the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information of any user, particularly child users, as defined under certain U.S. state privacy laws. We do not “sell” or “share” any information submitted or made available by a Child Account through the Services and do not “sell” or “share” information submitted by any user in content you upload and messages you send or receive. Please note that we do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
E. Notice of Financial Incentives. We may offer opportunities to receive certain services or benefits, including money to participate in surveys, sign up for communications, or other similar incentives, which may require the provision of personal information, such as registering for an account and answering surveys or providing additional feedback or information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law (each, an “Incentive Program”). Your participation in Incentive Programs is purely voluntary. When you participate in an Incentive Program, you agree to the terms of that Incentive Program, and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive Program.
Children’s Privacy
7. Children’s Privacy
iZiViD is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Services are designed for use by children only with the verifiable parental consent and ongoing supervision of a parent or legal guardian. This section explains our practices regarding children’s personal information.
A. Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC) Before a Child Account can be created or interact with certain features of the Services that collect personal information from children (e.g., participating in video calls), we require verifiable parental consent (VPC) from the Main Parent Account holder. Our VPC methods may include:
-
Credit Card Verification: Requiring the parent to use a credit card, which provides a level of identity verification.
-
Third-Party Verification Services: As mentioned in our Terms of Use, Main Parent Account, Parent Account, and Adult Account holders undergo a Know Your Customer (KWS) process provided by [Kids Web Services (KWS) – https://www.kidswebservices.com/ or similar service] before video calls with a child. This service helps verify the adult’s identity and their connection to the child.
-
Other Methods: We may use other methods permitted by GDPR and applicable Dutch law to obtain VPC, as they become available or appropriate.
We will not collect personal information from a child Child Account beyond what is reasonably necessary for them to participate in the Services. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
B. Information Collected from Children Once verifiable parental consent is obtained, we may collect the following types of information from Child Accounts:
-
Account Identifiers: A username and PIN for login (assigned by the parent).
-
User-Generated Content: If a child creates or uploads content within the app (e.g., drawing, messages to approved contacts), this content may contain personal information.
-
Usage Data: Limited usage data to understand how the app is functioning and to improve its performance and features (e.g., crashes, features used). This data is typically aggregated and de-identified where possible.
-
Communication Data: Communications with approved contacts, supervised by the parent.
We do NOT:
-
Collect persistent identifiers from children for behavioral advertising.
-
Collect geo-location information from children beyond general city/country (derived from parent’s IP address).
-
Knowingly collect or use personal information from children for targeted advertising or profiling.
-
Share personal information from children with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
C. How We Use Children’s Information We use the personal information collected from children solely for the following purposes:
-
To provide the Services and features requested by the child and parent (e.g., enabling content viewing, communication with approved contacts).
-
To maintain and improve the functionality and performance of the Services.
-
To protect the security and integrity of our Services and prevent fraud or misuse.
-
To respond to customer support inquiries related to the child’s account.
-
To comply with legal obligations.
D. Parental Rights Regarding Children’s Information Parents/legal guardians with a Main Parent Account have the right to:
-
Review the personal information collected from their child.
-
Request the deletion of their child’s personal information.
-
Refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s personal information.
-
Access and control their child’s contact list and approved content.
Where multiple adult accounts (Main Parent, Parent, or Adult Accounts) are linked to a child, the Main Parent retains ultimate control over approvals and can revoke or restrict access for any other adult account.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Information” section below. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity as the parent/legal guardian before fulfilling such requests.
International Transfers
8. International Transfers
iZiViD is based in the Netherlands. Personal data collected from users within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA/UK for processing by our service providers or ourselves. Such processing may be necessary to fulfill your request, process your payment details, or provide support services.
When we transfer your personal data outside the EEA/UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
-
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
-
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (known as Standard Contractual Clauses, or SCCs).
-
Where service providers are based in the US and were part of the EU-US Privacy Shield, we assess their data protection practices and ensure that alternative appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., relying on SCCs and additional technical and organizational measures).
By using our Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
How We Protect Your Data and Our Services
9. How We Protect Your Data and Our Services
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security of your personal information, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect personal information from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Third-Party Links and Features
10. Third-Party Links and Features
The Services may contain links to websites or online services operated by third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of such third-party sites or their content. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to people that we do not manage. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services operated by third parties that are linked to our Services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services that you access.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
11. Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the primary email address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Website homepage or within the Application. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page.
