1 .1 Additional Details Regarding Disclosures
Providers of Marketing Services:
​
At Project Man Cave Inc., we collaborate with Marketing Services Providers (e.g., Facebook) to assist us in marketing and promoting our App and services on third-party websites and applications. Additionally, these partnerships help us evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Here's how these collaborations work:
​
-
Tailored Advertising: We use Marketing Services Providers to customize our advertising efforts. This includes excluding existing Project Man Cave Inc. account holders from campaigns targeting new users and displaying Project Man Cave Inc. ads to individuals who have visited our App/Sites but have not yet registered.
-
Lookalike Audiences: We create audiences for our advertisements based on user characteristics. These audiences, known as Lookalike Audiences, consist of potential users who share similarities with you, leveraging data held by the Marketing Service Providers.
-
Custom Audiences: You may be included in a 'custom audience,' receiving specific Project Man Cave Inc. advertising content. A custom audience is essentially a list of individuals whom we believe would be most interested in a particular advertisement.
In these partnerships, we share a limited set of your personal data with Marketing Services Providers, including:
​
-
Your advertising identifier linked to your device (a unique, random number assigned by your device's manufacturer, e.g., Apple or Google, used for ad tracking and conversion analysis).
-
Estimated location based on your IP address.
-
Gender & age.
-
Information about your interactions with our Sites or App, such as app downloads, account creation, or purchase details.
-
A hashed version of your email address, which is encrypted using a combination of random characters and letters. This hashed code cannot be linked back to your actual email address.
​
*Note: Hashing ensures the security of your information, making it virtually impossible to trace back to your email address. When hashed email addresses are shared with Marketing Service Providers, they match them against their own hashed user data. Our ads are then served to users who have successfully matched. The matched and unmatched hashes are subsequently deleted by the Provider.
For further details on how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, as well as how to manage your preferences for such technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
It's important to note that in some instances, these third parties may use the data they collect for their own purposes. For example, they might aggregate your data with other information they possess to enhance advertising-related services provided to other clients.

Stringent data retention limits and extensive obligations are imposed on our suppliers through contractual agreements to safeguard user information. Additionally, we take measures to maximize data non-attribution whenever possible.
​
The selection of suppliers we engage with may vary based on factors such as the specific App, Sites, or services a user interacts with. Here are some examples of the types of suppliers we typically utilize to offer our services:

2.6 Profile Verification Data, Which May Encompass Biometric Information
​
To prioritize your safety, enhance your overall user experience, and maintain the integrity of the Project Man Cave Inc. community, we require Users to verify their accounts. This verification process may entail requesting your phone number and, in specific cases, conducting photo verification. Our objective is twofold: to confirm that you are a genuine user, not a robot, and to thwart the creation of fraudulent KAYV accounts that could potentially engage in malicious activities and cybercrime, thereby jeopardizing the Project Man Cave Inc. network and the experience for all Users. Account verification serves as a fraud prevention measure.
​
Additionally, we offer the option for Users to voluntarily verify their profile photos, indicated by the coveted 'verified' badge on their profiles. When you opt for photo verification, we carefully scan each submitted photo. This scan may involve utilizing facial recognition technology to compare the submitted photo with your existing profile picture, ensuring your identity matches your claim. It's important to note that we do not display the verification photos on your profile.
​
We retain these scans for future verification purposes and for our record-keeping obligations, keeping them in our records until they are no longer required for such purposes or up to three years following your last interaction with us, depending on whichever event occurs first. After the designated retention period lapses, we take appropriate and secure measures to permanently delete the scans from our systems.
​

​
If you have granted the App access to your device's location settings, when you use the app, we will collect data concerning WiFi access points, as well as other location-related information including longitude and latitude. Additionally, we may store your device's coordinates to provide specific features tailored to your location. This information enables us to determine your physical whereabouts and serves the purpose of personalizing the app, facilitating easier interactions with other Users.

Additionally, if you log in or access the App through your Facebook or another third-party account on a shared device, it's important to log out of both the App and the relevant third-party account when you leave the device. This helps safeguard your App account from unauthorized access by other users of the device. Your privacy and security are paramount to us.

Your control over data access is important to us.
​

You have the option to establish connections between your KAYV account and your Instagram or Facebook, accounts. This linkage enables you to seamlessly share specific content from these platforms directly to your KAYV account.
​
It's essential to note that we only receive the limited information that Instagram permits to be transferred. This information is outlined in detail by Instagram/Facebook/Spotify and is agreed upon by you when initially connecting your account from these platforms to your KAYV account.
​
Should you wish to discontinue the linkage between yourKAYV account and your Instagram or Facebook account, kindly navigate to the settings within your Instagram or Facebook account. Follow the provided instructions to revoke KAYV app access permissions. Please be aware that any information previously added to your KAYV account from these platforms will not be deleted unless you manually remove it within your KAYV account settings.

​
California Residents' Rights and Privacy Disclosures:

For Users residing in California, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, in addition to those outlined in section 7 above. You also have the right to be free from any discriminatory practices for exercising these rights under the Act:
​
-
Right to Deletion: You can request the deletion of personal information collected from you, with some exceptions.

Right to Information: You have the right to request that we disclose specific information and provide an explanation regarding how we've collected, used, and shared your personal information over the past 12 months.
​
Additionally, California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code section 1798.83, mandates that certain businesses respond to requests from California customers seeking information about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you wish to inquire about your rights under California Civil Code section 1798.83, please contact us at admin@project-man-cave.com.
On occasion, as part of a joint promotion with a third party, we may disclose your contact information to that third party if you choose to participate in the promotion. This disclosure allows them to market their products or services to you. When this is a condition for participation, we will always inform you before you enter the promotion. To unsubscribe from messages sent by third parties, please follow the instructions provided by them.
​
Furthermore, in compliance with California law, operators of online services must disclose their response to "do not track" signals or similar mechanisms that empower consumers to control the collection of personal information over time and across third-party online services. We currently do not track our Users' personal information over time and across third-party online services. This law also necessitates operators to clarify whether third parties may collect personal information about users' online activities when they use the operator's service. We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about an individual User's online activities over time and across different online services when using the App. Your privacy and rights are paramount to us.

When you decide to delete your Account, rest assured that we ensure it is no longer visible within the App. You have a 28-day window during which you can restore your Account if it was accidentally deleted. After this period, we commence the process of erasing your personal information from our systems, unless:
​
-
Legitimate Business Interests: The information is required for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing User safety and security. For example, we may need to retain information to prevent a previously banned user (due to unsafe behavior or security incidents) from creating a new account.
-
Outstanding Issues: There is an ongoing issue, claim, or dispute that necessitates keeping the relevant information until resolution.
-
Compliance Records: We must retain it to demonstrate our adherence to applicable laws. For instance, if an account is blocked, we maintain some account details and a record of the behavior that led to the block for evidential purposes in the event of inquiries or legal claims related to the block.

Legal Obligations: We are required to retain it to comply with applicable laws (e.g., for tax and accounting purposes if you made in-App purchases).
​
Important Note:
​
Even if you remove information from your profile or delete your Account, copies of that data may still be accessible if it was previously shared with others or copied and stored by others. We do not have control over this, and we cannot assume liability for it. Additionally, if you have granted third-party applications or websites access to your personal information, they may retain such data as permitted by their terms of service or privacy policies.
