Using Spave should fit easily into your lifestyle—and that ease includes the peace of mind that your data is secure. We take security seriously, and protecting your privacy and data is vital to us. We take extreme measures to validate each user and their accounts and to protect data in all instances of our infrastructure and user experience.
Put simply, we've implemented the same level of security that your bank has.
Live.Give.Save, Inc. d/b/a Spave, (“Spave,” “us,” “we,” or our “Company”), has developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe for you, as a user of the Spave application (the “App”), how we collect your information, how we use it, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. It also covers your access to the website we maintain at https://www.spave.io (the “Website”).
We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully before using our App or services, or otherwise transacting business with us. By using our App or accessing the Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.
In general. We may use information that we collect about you to:
Payment and Financial information. We may use your financial information and stored payment methods to process payment for any services ordered through the App, including membership fees, and other programs in which you elect to participate, to pre-qualify you for credit card use, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business. We also use your information to move money between your banks, credit unions and other third parties, at your request.
Job Applicants. If your personal information is submitted through our Website when applying for a position with our company, the information will be used solely in connection with considering and acting upon your application. We may retain your personal information for a period of time, but only for the purpose of considering your application for current or future available positions or meeting our regulatory obligations.
When you use the App or access the Website, we collect information from and about you, your devices, and your interactions with our services. Some of this information identifies you directly or can be used to identify you when combined with other data. For example, we may collect the following:
Voluntary Information. We may collect and store any personal information you enter into the Website or App. This includes identifying information such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, payment card information, financial information and other personally identifiable information. You will generally provide this information to us when you create an account on our App.
Location Information. Our App may collect and process location information, if you allow it. If location services are enabled, we collect your device’s precise location when you open and/or use the App, as you have authorized. This enables us to serve up relevant data based on your location, thereby enhancing your user experience.
Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the Website and the App, including the webpages and sections of the App you access, the content you view, and the dates and times of access. This information could include the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address and the page you visited before navigating to the Website. We also collect information about the computer or mobile device you use to access our services, such as the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and browsing behavior. All of this enables us to ensure the App performs adequately based on your device type, as well as to understand from where our users are discovering us and how they engage with our services.
You may adjust settings on your mobile device and mobile browser regarding cookies and sharing of certain information, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Please refer to the instructions provided by your mobile service provider or mobile device manufacturer. If you enable location services on your mobile device, we may collect the location of your device as described above. You should be aware, however, that these changes may negatively impact the performance of the App and your overall user experience.
Communications. We collect information about any phone, text message, e-mail, or online messaging function you use to communicate with us. This may include, in addition to the text of such communications, the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS messages. All communications (in any form) between you and our customer service team may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes.
We use various technologies to collect information automatically when you access the App or our website, including cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a user’s computer for record keeping purposes. For example, when you access or sign into our Website, we may record your user or member ID, the name on your user or member account, your device ID, or other identifying information in the cookie file on your computer. We also may record your password in this cookie file, if you indicated that you would like your password saved for automatic sign-in. For security purposes, we will encrypt any usernames, passwords, and other user or member account-related data that we store in such cookies. In the case of sites and services that do not use a user or member ID, the cookie will contain a unique identifier. You may delete or decline cookies by changing your browser settings. (Click “Help” in the toolbar of most browsers for instructions.) If you do so, some of the features and services of our Website may not function properly.
The Website may also include web beacons or pixels, which are electronic files to count users who have visited that page, to track activity over time and across different websites, to determine users’ interactions with emails we send, to identify certain cookies on the computer or other electronic device accessing that page, or to collect other related information, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol address. We may, for example, implement a pixel on the Website where you view a certain advertisement so that we can track whether you visit a website associated with that advertisement at a later time.
Similarly, third parties may use cookies to deliver advertisements to you based on your visit to the Website or other websites. You may opt-out of cookie tracking and analysis from any of these service providers and advertising networks, but doing so could impede your experience with the App.
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as indicated below, or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt out of having your personal information shared. We will only share personal information that you provide to us in the following circumstances:
You may receive email or text messages from Spave for a variety of reasons; for example, if you took an action through the App, you signed up for a regular report, or we are making you aware of system updates. If you have an account with Spave, you can manage your communication preferences through your account settings. Also, you can manage your receipt of some types of communication by following the instructions included in the emails or text messages we send you. Please note that, even if you unsubscribe from certain email correspondences, we may still need to email you with important transactional or administrative information.
If you have an account with us, you can review and update your personal information online by signing into your account through the App. You can also review and update your personal information by contacting us. More information about how to contact us is provided below.
You may disable your account by deactivating your account through the App or contacting us at Support@spave.io. After deactivation, you will not be able to sign into our App or Website or access any of your personal information or transaction history. Even after termination, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, enforce our terms and conditions, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our systems or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies. All of the foregoing is also subject to our obligation to retain certain information on you and your transactions for regulatory purposes.
Protecting your personal information is important to us, and we take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example:
We want you to feel confident using our App and the Website to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure.

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personal information, we will notify you by sending an email to the email address you most recently provided us in your account, profile or registration (unless we do not have such an email address). We recommend that you check our Website from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy Policy or any of our other policies.
