Avviato may also use your personal data to deliver enhanced functionality through AI-powered features or to facilitate secure and automated data transfer via API. When doing so, we rely on sub-processors such as OpenAI that are contractually obligated to handle your data according to strict confidentiality and security requirements.
8. “Do Not Track” Requests
Your internet browser and mobile device may allow you to adjust your browser settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites you visit. Avviato does not process “do not track” (DNT) signals. Our third-party service providers also may not respond to DNT signals.
9. Third-Party Websites and Service Providers
Our website may include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Avviato. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. Avviato encourages you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit carefully.
In addition, certain features within our software and services may rely on third-party service providers to process data on our behalf. For example, we may use providers such as OpenAI to enable AI-powered functionality, including the generation of summaries or insights from public or user-submitted content. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to deliver services to Avviato and must adhere to strict confidentiality and data security standards.
These providers do not have permission to use your information for their own commercial purposes. Avviato does not sell or otherwise share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.
10. Social Media Features
Our software and services may include social media features or provide direct links to our social media channels. These features may collect your IP address and the page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Avviato may also link to our software and services from within social media, allowing you to access and further share our software and services, and post to other websites using your social media login credentials. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our software and services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
11. Preferences and Opting Out
Our software and services offer users the option to opt out of receiving specific types of communications from Avviato. Suppose you have previously signed up to receive information about our software and services. In that case, you may unsubscribe or opt out of all future marketing communications from us that do not relate to software and services you have already accessed by sending an email to support@aavviato.com or by clicking the unsubscribe link on any email marketing communication you receive.
12. Accessing and Updating Personal Data
Upon request, Avviato will provide you with information about whether Avviato holds, or processes on behalf of a third party, any of your personal information. When you use our website or services, Avviato makes good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is no longer needed for legitimate business purposes. You can update your account information by logging in to your account. When requests are made to Avviato regarding personal information, Avviato requires individual users to identify themselves and the information they wish to access, correct, or have removed before processing such requests. Avviato may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. Avviato retains and uses your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. In any case where Avviato provides information access and correction, Avviato performs this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Avviato will respond to these requests within a reasonable timeframe. Avviato will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services.
Avviato will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
13. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Use of our website does not affect your rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). Pursuant to FERPA, any school that receives funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education is required to protect the privacy of student education records. In a nutshell, FERPA requires schools to obtain written permission from parents or students prior to disclosing a student’s records. However, certain exceptions allow schools to disclose information internally, and for certain specified reasons, without obtaining consent. For more information on FERPA, please visit http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
Avviato maintains strict standards with regard to personally identifiable information about students (“Student PII”) to ensure compliance with FERPA. Avviato will not share or sell FERPA-protected information, or re-use it for any other purposes, except as directed by you or permitted by FERPA. In addition, Avviato has implemented security policies and procedures reasonably designed to protect Student PII from inappropriate disclosure, destruction or modification. Avviato staff have been specifically trained to ensure the security and confidentiality of such records. If you believe Student PII contained on our website is incorrect or inappropriately displayed, or if you would like to gain access to Student PII stored on our website belonging to you or your children, please email us at support@avviato.com.
14. Data Provided by Educational Entity
Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to data of whatever type provided directly by an educational agency (“Educational Entity Data”), school, or university (each an “Educational Entity”). All Educational Entity Data containing Student PII or records that were the property of the student prior to its transfer to our website shall continue to be the property of the student under the control of the Educational Entity.
Avviato will hold all Educational Entity Data in the strictest confidence and will not disclose any such data except as provided in any agreement between the Educational Entity and Avviato or in connection with a qualified research project or scholarly pursuit. In addition, Avviato will notify any Educational Entity in writing (to the extent legally permissible) prior to the disclosure of any Educational Entity Data required by a court of competent jurisdiction or an administrative body
Avviato will not transmit or store Educational Entity Data outside the United States without the consent of the Educational Entity. All Education Entity Data will be stored, processed, and maintained solely on designated target servers. At no time will such data be processed on or transferred to any portable or laptop computing device or any portable storage medium, unless that storage medium is in use as part of our backup and recovery processes.
Avviato will use Educational Entity Data solely for the purposes expressed in any agreement between the Educational Entity and Avviato or for research and purely scholastic endeavors. Such Data will not be distributed, repurposed, or shared across other Avviato applications, environments, or business units. In addition, except in the case of research and purely scholastic endeavors, Educational Entity Data will not be transmitted, exchanged, or otherwise passed to other vendors or interested parties except on a case-by-case basis as specifically agreed to in writing by the Educational Entity.
In the event of an unauthorized release of Educational Entity Data that requires notification of the affected individuals, Avviato shall assume responsibility for informing all such individuals in accordance with applicable law.

Avviato takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, Avviato cannot guarantee its absolute security. Avviato has put in place procedures to deal with any suspected breach of personal data, and Avviato will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where Avviato is legally required to do so. If you have any questions about our security, please contact us at support@avviato.com.
