Last updated: May 15, 2025

1. Introduction
Welcome to kivaz.xyz (the “Site”). Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and with whom we share it. By using our Site, you consent to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect
We gather the following categories of personal and behavioral data:

  • Device & Usage Data.
    • IP address, browser type and version, screen resolution, operating system.
    • Pages you visit, time spent on pages, clickstream data, referral source.
  • Cookie & Tracking Data.
    • Unique identifiers set by us or third parties (e.g. Google Analytics, advertising networks).
    • Consent strings (TC strings) in compliance with IAB’s Transparency & Consent Framework.
  • Advertising Performance Data.
    • Ad impressions, clicks, viewability metrics, conversion events.
    • A/B test group assignments, ad placement performance.

3. How We Use Your Data
We process your information to:

  1. Deliver & Optimize Ads.
    • Determine which ads to show you based on your interests and behavior.
    • Measure and improve ad performance (CTR, viewability, conversion rates).
  2. Site Analytics & Performance.
    • Understand overall Site usage trends and user engagement.
    • Identify and fix technical issues.
  3. Compliance & Consent Management.
    • Record and respect your cookie and data-consent preferences.
    • Fulfill GDPR, UK-GDPR, and ePrivacy requirements via a certified CMP.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise monetize your personal data. We share your information only with:

  • Google LLC and its certified advertising partners, solely to serve and optimize personalized ads.
  • IAB-TCF–registered Consent Management Platforms that help us obtain and transmit your consent status.
  • Legal & Regulatory Authorities, when required by law (e.g., subpoenas, court orders, fraud investigations).

All third parties with whom we share data are bound by contractual obligations to use your information only for the specified advertising and analytics purposes.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

  • Recognize your device on return visits.
  • Store your cookie-consent choices and TC string.
  • Measure ad performance and user engagement.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time via your browser settings or our consent-banner preferences. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may impact Site functionality and ad personalization.

6. Consent Management
To comply with GDPR, UK-GDPR, and Swiss privacy laws, we employ a certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). On your first visit, you’ll be prompted to accept or reject various categories of cookies and data processing. Your choice generates a TCF “TC string” that travels with every ad request, ensuring full compliance.

7. Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Our security measures include:

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS) for all data in transit.
  • Encryption of sensitive data at rest.
  • Access controls, intrusion detection, and regular security audits.

8. Data Retention
We retain usage and advertising performance data for up to 24 months to analyze trends and optimize monetization strategies. Consent records (TC strings and cookie choices) are retained for up to 12 months or until you change your preferences.

9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erase (“right to be forgotten”) your data.
  • Restrict or object to processing for advertising purposes.
  • Withdraw consent at any time via our CMP banner.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@kivaz.xyz.

Our Site is not directed at children under 16 (13 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently done so, please contact us, and we will promptly delete that information.

11. Changes to This Policy
