Novention's Privacy Policy (Protection of Privacy and Data)
The entire website was designed with a minimal information required from the user or applicant input. Everything was intentionally developed with a premise to safeguard sensitive data from being compromised. To protect against fraud, we have monitoring systems with advanced security features. Plus, we are controlling all our main domains.
Some of your basic info will only be used to give you relevant updates and announcements from our company and NOT from the affiliate networks unless you CHOOSE to become part of those networks by working with those companies or individuals. Of course, you can always opt out by contacting us back.
Do NOT provide any of your financial info to any party claiming to “verify your account”. Novention does NOT send out those dubious emails and we never ask you for your password nor financial info. For transactions we use a verified PayPal merchant account that displays our company name “Novention”. If you’re using the Novention website to sign up or apply for certain benefits and programs, you can be reasonably sure that those are reputable merchants who will not misappropriate your personal info.
It is your job to read through our terms and conditions if you are considering any sort of a contract with Novention. But if you are just a website user, you STILL need to pay attention to those conditions being relevant to your actions and conduct on our site. Failure to do so will mean that you had a predisposed duty with a social responsibility that shall not be disregarded or else we may take further disciplinary action. In the event of any other party infringing on the Novention name and/or image copyrights and trademarks, will result in legal consequences and warnings and if the infringement continues, we could take further legal action (if necessary). To avoid frivolous legal problems, consult with us on the proper usage of our innovations, features, ads, banners, links, forms and applications. Litigations and arbitrations would only be applicable under more serious cases that cannot be settled by free negotiations and mutual deals.
IF you would like to use our name / logo / trademarks, business service models, paradigms, formulas or designs, you would NEED to contact us directly about this matter and depending on your type of industry affiliation and reputation, we may consider working with you and your company OR we may accept you into our affiliate program with an exclusive permission granted BY or VIA the founder of Novention.
By law, you have to be of appropriate mental capacity and age in order to go into a contractual agreement with Novention and any of its affiliate companies. In order to become a Novention affiliate, you would have to be at least 18 years old, clean background and no severe disorders that will severely impact your level of competence under the scope of employment.
The possible ways to contact Novention include but not limited to: email, phone, skype, comments, appointments, meetings, webinars, conferences and updates.
Novention reserves the right to augment and modify its terms of use at any time and it would be your job to inquire or check back on the updates and policies relevant to your situation. For general inquiries, you can always contact us at [email protected]

Privacy Policy via Vcita (Contact Forms, Scheduling, Consultations and Conferencing)
Privacy Policy meet2know, Inc. d/b/a vCita (“vCita”) respects the privacy of users (a “User” or “Users”) and experts (an “Expert” or “Experts”) alike. This policy explains vCita’s privacy practices in connection with the use of the web-application (the “Web-App”) operated by vCita for Expert and Users and the services rendered through the Web-App by Expert to User (the “Services”). It also describes the ways vCita collects and uses personal information or Users and Experts and the rights and options available to Users and Experts with respect to their information. We may refer to Users and Experts together as “You”.
This policy is incorporated into the Terms of Use among vCita, Expert and User (the “Terms of Use”) and to the vCita-Expert Web-Services Agreement between vCita and Expert (the “Web-Services Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the respective agreement.
THIS POLICY ONLY GOVERNS VCITA’S USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. THE USE OF USER’S PERSONAL INFORMATION BY EXPERT (OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES) IS NOT CONTROLLED BY VCITA, AND USER SHOULD REVIEW EXPERT’S PRIVACY POLICY INDEPENDENTLY. VCITA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL BEAR NO LIABILITY TO EXPERT’S PRIVACY POLICY OR TO EXPERT’S COMPLIANCE WITH IT.
What personal information do you have to provide vCita? When you register to the Services or the Web-App, you may be asked to provide vCita an active e-mail address and other contact and personal details (or other allowed identification means), billing information (for Users) and account information (for Experts) and to select a password. vCita may ask you to provide additional payment and transaction related personal information, to the extent required.
As an Expert, you may also need to set-up a profile using the Web-App, which may be available on websites other than your own. vCita does not have any obligation under this Privacy Policy with respect to information which an Expert provides and which is intended to be publicly available.
Please bear in mind that false, incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information may prevent you from registering and using the Services or the Web-App, or impair vCita’s ability to provide you with the Services or the Web-App and to contact you. If you are an Expert, it may also impair vCita’s ability to transfer to you the fees due to you.
What Internet traffic does vCita collect? vCita’s Web-App provides a comprehensive solution to Users and Experts, which enables them to contact each other, schedule an appointment, form a contract, pay and receive fees, interact and manage their engagement by using the Web-App. The Web-App is installed on vCita’s servers, and when you use the Web-App, the information routed via the Web-App is accessible to vCita.
When you use the Services or the Web-App, vCita will collect information, such as session durations, page impressions, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, the domain name that served you to access the Services or the Web-App, and content types and origins.
vCita will also store information related to online data or metadata that is routed through vCita’s servers, such as web pages’ addresses, structures, data fields, and images.
The stored data will be attributed to you in person, only to the extent necessary for the use of the Web-App or the Services, as set in the following chapter. In all other cases, vCita will anonymize the data and will not knowingly use the data to personally identify you.
Further information may be collected when you and vCita exchange communications, for example, when you submit an inquiry to the customer support at: [email protected].
Does vCita collect location based information? vCita does not actively collect any personal information that is based on your geographical location, except for the country that you reside in when accessing the Services or the Web-App. However, certain location based information may be stored on vCita’s servers, for example if you use the Services or the Web-App to access geographic based services. vCita will use such information subject to this policy and will anonymize such data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the performance of the Services by Expert or the use of the Web-App.
What does vCita do with your personally identifiable information? vCita may use personally identifiable information for the following purposes:
vCita strongly encourages parents to monitor their children’s use of the Web. vCita will delete a child’s personally identifiable information if a parent so requests by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. If vCita learns that a child under the age of 18 years has provided personally identifiable information to vCita without verifiable parental consent, vCita will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from vCita’s databases.
How does vCita share your personally identifiable information with others? vCita does not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to third parties. vCita may share personally identifiable information with others in any of the following instances, or otherwise subject to your explicit consent:
vCita may share, publish, post, disseminate, transmit or otherwise communicate or make available such information, to suppliers, business partners, sponsors, affiliates and any other third party, at vCita’s sole discretion, provided, however, that vCita will not knowingly, or intentionally use the information to reveal your identity without your consent.
How can you access your personal information? If you are registered to the Services or the Web-App, then you may access your personal account and edit or amend your personal information at any time using the designated user interface in the Web-App or by contacting us at [email protected]. If you find that the information on your personal account is not accurate, complete or updated, then you may make all necessary changes to correct it.
Which ‘opt out’ and deletion options are available to you? At any time you may opt out of vCita’s mailing lists, by sending vCita a removal request to: [email protected]. It may take up to ten (10) business days for your opt-out request to take effect.
If you wish to delete your personally identifiable information that is stored in vCita’s database, you may send a request to delete information to: [email protected]. vCita will inform you whether it can accept your request. vCita may refuse your request, for example, if vCita believes that removal of certain information may jeopardize certain activities of the Services or the Web-App, or harm other users. In any case, vCita may keep any aggregated or anonymized information for statistical, marketing and other purposes, indefinitely.
vCita may also keep a User’s information for as long as he or she still owes fees, or if there are fees still pending to be paid to Expert or to a User. You may, however, waive such fees owed to you, and in which case we will delete your personal information.
How does vCita secure your personal information? vCita and third parties on its behalf implement information security systems and procedures to secure your personal information. While such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, vCita cannot guarantee that the Services or the Web-App will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks, or that your private communications on or through the Services or the Web-App will remain private.
We restrict access to personal information you provided vCita to our employees, contractors, vendors and agents who need to know that information for the purposes described in this policy. These individuals are obligated to keep your personal information confidential and they may be subject to penalties, termination of relations and criminal prosecution, if they fail to comply with such obligations.
How does vCita use Cookies? vCita may use cookies when operating the Services or the Web-App. Cookies are packets of information sent by vCita’s servers to your web browser and then sent back by the browser. vCita may use cookies for various purposes, for example, to save you the need to re-enter your password each time you log-in to the Services or the Web-App, to facilitate the use of the Services or the Web-App, to collect information for statistical and analytical purposes, to verify information, to customize the Services or the Web-App to your personal preferences and for information security purposes.
Some of the cookies may expire when the session ends and you exit your browser. Other cookies may be stored on your computer’s hard drive. If you wish to block the cookies, then please use the help button in your browser and follow the necessary instructions. However, bear in mind that disabling cookies may complicate or even prevent your use of the Services or the Web-App, or certain features thereof.
Where is my personal information processed? vCita may store and process the information through a third party’s hosting services in the USA or in other jurisdictions, at its discretion. If you are in the European Economic Area, or in any other jurisdiction that regulates the transfer of personal information outside that jurisdiction, then you hereby grant vCita your explicit and unambiguous consent to transfer your personal information to the USA or to any other jurisdiction where vCita’s hosting services operate, for the purposes described in this policy.

Changes to this Privacy Policy vCita may change and update the terms of this policy from time to time. Changes will take effect seven (7) days after their initial posting on the Website or the Web-App, unless vCita amends the policy to comply with legal requirements. In the latter cases the amendments will become effective as required, or ordered.
This policy is incorporated into the Terms of Use among vCita, Expert and User (the “Terms of Use”) and to the vCita-Expert Web-Services Agreement between vCita and Expert (the “Web-Services Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the respective agreement.
THIS POLICY ONLY GOVERNS VCITA’S USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. THE USE OF USER’S PERSONAL INFORMATION BY EXPERT (OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES) IS NOT CONTROLLED BY VCITA, AND USER SHOULD REVIEW EXPERT’S PRIVACY POLICY INDEPENDENTLY. VCITA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL BEAR NO LIABILITY TO EXPERT’S PRIVACY POLICY OR TO EXPERT’S COMPLIANCE WITH IT.
What personal information do you have to provide vCita? When you register to the Services or the Web-App, you may be asked to provide vCita an active e-mail address and other contact and personal details (or other allowed identification means), billing information (for Users) and account information (for Experts) and to select a password. vCita may ask you to provide additional payment and transaction related personal information, to the extent required.
As an Expert, you may also need to set-up a profile using the Web-App, which may be available on websites other than your own. vCita does not have any obligation under this Privacy Policy with respect to information which an Expert provides and which is intended to be publicly available.
Please bear in mind that false, incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information may prevent you from registering and using the Services or the Web-App, or impair vCita’s ability to provide you with the Services or the Web-App and to contact you. If you are an Expert, it may also impair vCita’s ability to transfer to you the fees due to you.
What Internet traffic does vCita collect? vCita’s Web-App provides a comprehensive solution to Users and Experts, which enables them to contact each other, schedule an appointment, form a contract, pay and receive fees, interact and manage their engagement by using the Web-App. The Web-App is installed on vCita’s servers, and when you use the Web-App, the information routed via the Web-App is accessible to vCita.
When you use the Services or the Web-App, vCita will collect information, such as session durations, page impressions, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, the domain name that served you to access the Services or the Web-App, and content types and origins.
vCita will also store information related to online data or metadata that is routed through vCita’s servers, such as web pages’ addresses, structures, data fields, and images.
The stored data will be attributed to you in person, only to the extent necessary for the use of the Web-App or the Services, as set in the following chapter. In all other cases, vCita will anonymize the data and will not knowingly use the data to personally identify you.
Further information may be collected when you and vCita exchange communications, for example, when you submit an inquiry to the customer support at: [email protected].
Does vCita collect location based information? vCita does not actively collect any personal information that is based on your geographical location, except for the country that you reside in when accessing the Services or the Web-App. However, certain location based information may be stored on vCita’s servers, for example if you use the Services or the Web-App to access geographic based services. vCita will use such information subject to this policy and will anonymize such data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the performance of the Services by Expert or the use of the Web-App.
What does vCita do with your personally identifiable information? vCita may use personally identifiable information for the following purposes:
- to provide and operate the Services or the Web-App;
- to send you updates and notices and to provide you with information related to the Services or the Web-App, provided that vCita will not share your e-mail address or any other personally identifiable information with online advertisers and advertising networks, without your explicit consent;
- to enforce the Terms of Use or the Web-Services Agreement;
- to contact you as and when vCita believes it to be necessary;
- to comply with any applicable law and assist law enforcement agencies as required;
- in any case where vCita believes that the use of the information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or damage to property;
- to collect fees and debts, and to prevent fraud, misappropriation, infringements, identity thefts and any other misuse of the Services or the Web-App; and
- to take any action in any case of dispute, or legal proceeding of any kind between you and vCita, or between you and other users or third parties with respect to, or in relation with the Services or the Web-App.
vCita strongly encourages parents to monitor their children’s use of the Web. vCita will delete a child’s personally identifiable information if a parent so requests by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. If vCita learns that a child under the age of 18 years has provided personally identifiable information to vCita without verifiable parental consent, vCita will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from vCita’s databases.
How does vCita share your personally identifiable information with others? vCita does not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to third parties. vCita may share personally identifiable information with others in any of the following instances, or otherwise subject to your explicit consent:
- to operate the Services or the Web-App, including to store and process your information through a third party hosting services and to process payments;
- to contact you. For example, vCita may use a third party’s mailing platform to send you messages and updates from time to time;
- if vCita believes that you have breached the Terms of Use, the Web-Services Agreement, or abused your rights to use the Services or the Web-App, or performed any act or omission that vCita believes to be violating any applicable law, rules, or regulations. vCita may share your information with law enforcement agencies, governmental agencies and other competent authorities as well as with other third parties, as may be required;
- if vCita is required, or believes that it is required by law to share or disclose your information;
- in any case of dispute, or legal proceeding of any kind between you and vCita, or between you and other users or third parties with respect to, or in relation with the Services or the Web-App (including a dispute between User and Expert);
- in any case where vCita believes that sharing information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or damage to property;
- if vCita organizes the operation of the Services or the Web-App within a different framework, or through another legal structure or entity, or if vCita is acquired by, or merged with another entity, provided, however, that those entities agree to be bound by the provisions of this policy, with respective changes taken into consideration; and
- vCita may also share personally identifiable information with sub-contractors and other companies or organizations connected, or affiliated with vCita, such as subsidiaries, sister-companies and parent companies.
vCita may share, publish, post, disseminate, transmit or otherwise communicate or make available such information, to suppliers, business partners, sponsors, affiliates and any other third party, at vCita’s sole discretion, provided, however, that vCita will not knowingly, or intentionally use the information to reveal your identity without your consent.
How can you access your personal information? If you are registered to the Services or the Web-App, then you may access your personal account and edit or amend your personal information at any time using the designated user interface in the Web-App or by contacting us at [email protected]. If you find that the information on your personal account is not accurate, complete or updated, then you may make all necessary changes to correct it.
Which ‘opt out’ and deletion options are available to you? At any time you may opt out of vCita’s mailing lists, by sending vCita a removal request to: [email protected]. It may take up to ten (10) business days for your opt-out request to take effect.
