Privacy Policy

The controller responsible for personal data processed through Valerimo is:

• Controller: Valerimo
• Platform: Valerimo
• Website: https://valerimo.com
• Privacy email: contact@valerimo.com
• Contact page: https://valerimo.com/contacts

Full publisher and hosting details are available in the Valerimo Legal Notice.

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit valerimo.com, create or use an account, publish content, communicate with other users, contact Valerimo or interact with platform features.

It does not govern third-party websites, AI tools, applications or services linked from Valerimo. Those providers process data under their own privacy policies.

Account and identification data

• name, username and display name;
• email address;
• encrypted password and authentication information;
• profile photograph, cover image and biography;
• account creation date, status and preferences;
• language, country or time-zone information when supplied.

Profile and optional information

Depending on available features, you may voluntarily provide professional interests, skills, links, location, company, occupation or other profile information.

Content and community activity

• posts, comments, reviews and replies;
• photos, videos, audio files and documents;
• likes, reactions, shares, follows and saved content;
• group, page, event or community participation;
• reports, moderation appeals and support requests;
• content visibility and privacy selections.

Communications

• private messages sent through platform communication tools;
• emails and messages sent to Valerimo support;
• notification preferences and email-delivery status;
• administrative and security communications.

Technical and usage data

• IP address;
• browser type, device type and operating system;
• login date, session identifiers and security logs;
• pages viewed, actions performed and referring page;
• approximate location inferred from IP where necessary;
• error, performance and anti-abuse information.

Payment information

If paid services are introduced, payment transactions may be handled by an independent payment provider. Valerimo would normally receive transaction references, payment status and billing details, but not complete payment-card credentials.

Personal data may be collected:

• directly from you when you register or use the platform;
• automatically through technical logs and necessary cookies;
• from other users when they interact with or report content;
• from a third-party login provider when you choose social login;
• from public sources when necessary to describe an AI tool;
• from service providers supporting hosting, email or security.

When another person provides information concerning you, we process it only where a valid purpose and legal basis exist.

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, Valerimo considers the purpose, necessity and potential impact on users.

Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out lawfully.

Some account information and content may be public or visible to other users according to the privacy setting selected when it is published.

Public information may include:

• your username, profile name and profile image;
• your public biography and profile details;
• public posts, comments, reviews and reactions;
• public pages, groups, collections or contributions;
• follower, following or interaction information.

Private messages are stored and processed to deliver conversations between participants, maintain message history and provide relevant security and reporting features.

Valerimo does not routinely read private conversations. Access may occur only when reasonably necessary, including:

• when a participant reports a conversation or specific message;
• to investigate fraud, abuse or a serious security incident;
• to comply with a valid legal obligation;
• to resolve a technical problem affecting message delivery.

Users must not use private messaging for spam, harassment, fraud, illegal content or unauthorised commercial solicitation.

Valerimo may host information, discussions, prompts, guides and content relating to artificial-intelligence tools.

Unless expressly stated for a specific feature, publishing a prompt or discussing an AI service on Valerimo does not automatically send that content to the third-party AI provider concerned.

If Valerimo later integrates an external AI service, users will receive relevant information concerning the provider, purpose and data transfer before or when the feature is used.

Necessary cookies

Valerimo uses essential cookies and local-storage technologies required for functions such as login sessions, security, language, interface preferences and account authentication.

These technologies are necessary to provide the service requested and cannot always be disabled through Valerimo settings.

Optional cookies

Audience measurement, personalisation, advertising or third-party media cookies will be activated only where permitted and, when required, after obtaining your consent.

You may accept, refuse or later modify optional cookie choices through the cookie-management tool when such cookies are used.

Browser controls

Your browser may allow you to delete or block cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login or cause parts of Valerimo to function incorrectly.

Additional details about individual cookies, providers and retention periods are available in the Cookie Policy.

Personal data may be accessible to:

• authorised Valerimo administrators and moderators;
• users or visitors according to content visibility settings;
• hosting, infrastructure and backup providers;
• email-delivery and technical service providers;
• security, anti-spam and performance providers;
• payment providers if paid features are introduced;
• professional advisers where necessary;
• competent authorities when disclosure is legally required.

Service providers receive only the information reasonably necessary for their task and must process it under appropriate contractual, confidentiality and security obligations.

Valerimo aims to use European infrastructure whenever reasonably possible. Some service providers or third-party integrations may, however, process data outside the European Economic Area.

Where such a transfer occurs, Valerimo will rely on a legally recognised safeguard where required, such as:

• an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
• approved standard contractual clauses;
• another lawful transfer mechanism;
• an applicable legal exception in limited circumstances.

Information about a specific transfer may be requested through the contact details provided below.

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security and dispute-management requirements.

Some information may be retained longer where required by law, necessary to establish or defend legal claims, or needed to prevent serious abuse and account-ban circumvention.

Valerimo applies technical and organisational safeguards proportionate to the nature of the service and identified risks.

These measures may include:

• encrypted HTTPS connections;
• password hashing and protected authentication;
• server, firewall and access-control measures;
• restricted administrative access;
• security logs and abuse monitoring;
• software maintenance and vulnerability correction;
• backups and incident-recovery procedures;
• confidentiality obligations for authorised personnel.

No online system can guarantee absolute security. Users must also protect their password, devices and email account and should report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may exercise the following rights:

How to exercise your rights

Send your request to contact@valerimo.com or use the official Contact page. Clearly describe the right you wish to exercise and identify the account concerned.

Valerimo may request reasonable proof of identity where necessary to prevent disclosure or deletion of data belonging to another person. Any requested proof will be used only to verify the request.

Requests are handled within the period required by applicable law. Complex or repeated requests may require an extension where legally permitted, in which case the requester will be informed.

You may request account deletion through available account settings or by contacting Valerimo.

Account deletion may result in removal or anonymisation of profile information and content associated exclusively with that account. Certain information may remain temporarily or longer where:

• it is present in a backup awaiting scheduled deletion;
• another user must retain part of a conversation history;
• retention is necessary for security or fraud prevention;
• retention is required by law;
• information is needed to establish or defend a legal claim;
• content has been lawfully reshared or anonymised.

Deleting an account does not automatically remove content copied or independently retained by third parties before deletion.

Valerimo is not intended for children under the age of 16 and does not knowingly seek to collect their personal data through user accounts.

If you believe that a child under 16 has created an account or provided personal data, contact Valerimo so that the situation can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

A higher minimum age may apply where required by the law of the user's country.

Valerimo may display links, videos, widgets, social-media content, AI tools or other resources provided by third parties.

When you open an external link or activate embedded content, the third party may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser data. Its own privacy policy then applies.

Valerimo does not control the independent processing activities of third-party providers. Users should review their privacy terms before creating accounts, submitting prompts, uploading documents or purchasing services.

This Policy may be updated to reflect changes to Valerimo, service providers, technologies, legal requirements or privacy practices.

The effective date and version shown at the top identify the current Policy. Where a change materially affects registered users, Valerimo may provide notice through the platform, by email or using another appropriate method.

Previous versions may be retained where necessary to document the information provided to users at a particular time.
