Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Date]

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Levari ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy.

Levari is an AI-native marketplace connecting verified students for peer-to-peer services. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the Levari platform (the "Platform"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Platform, including:

A. Information You Provide to Us:

  • Account Registration Data: To use Levari, you must verify your student status. We collect your name, university affiliation, .edu email address, graduation year, and password.
  • Profile and Listing Data: Information you choose to display publicly on your profile, such as your bio, major, skills, profile picture, and the descriptions of the services you are offering or requesting.
  • AI Input Data: Text, prompts, and context you input into our AI Agents to generate service listings. (Note: Do not input sensitive personal information, such as Social Security Numbers or passwords, into the AI generator).
  • Communications: Records and copies of your correspondence (including in-app messages between Clients and Providers) if you contact us or communicate with other users on the Platform. We monitor these messages for safety, fraud prevention, and enforcement of our Terms of Service.

B. Information We Collect Automatically:

  • Usage Details: Details of your visits to our Platform, including traffic data, location data, logs, referring/exit pages, date and time stamps, and the resources that you access and use.
  • Device Information: Information about your computer, mobile device, and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Platform and hold certain information to improve your user experience.

C. Information We DO NOT Collect (Financial Data):

  • Levari does not currently process payments on the Platform. Therefore, we do not collect, process, or store credit card numbers, bank account details, or third-party payment app usernames (e.g., Venmo, Zelle) used for off-platform transactions.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us to:

  • Provide and Optimize the Platform: To present our Platform and its contents to you, and to facilitate the matching of Clients and Providers.
  • Verify Identity: To ensure our community remains exclusive to verified students using .edu credentials.
  • Power AI Features: To process your prompts through our integrated third-party AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) to generate, optimize, and translate your service listings.
  • Maintain Trust and Safety: To monitor for prohibited content (e.g., academic dishonesty, illegal services, harassment) and enforce our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
  • Communicate with You: To send you administrative notices, account updates, security alerts, and support messages.
  • Analytics: To understand how users interact with our Platform so we can improve our user interface, matching algorithms, and overall service.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • With Other Users: Your public profile (name, profile picture, university, major, and service listings) is visible to other registered users to facilitate marketplace connections.
  • With Third-Party Service Providers: We share necessary data with vendors who assist us in operating our Platform. This includes cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud), email delivery services, and AI Language Model providers (who process your listing prompts).
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to government or regulatory requests. We will also share data if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Levari, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Levari's assets, user data may be among the assets transferred.

5. AI AND THIRD-PARTY API USAGE

Levari is an AI-native platform. By using our AI listing generation tools, you acknowledge that the text and prompts you input are transmitted to third-party AI service providers via API. These providers process the data to return text to you. We restrict our AI partners from using your personal data to train their foundational models, but we strongly advise against entering sensitive personal, financial, or contact information into the AI prompt fields.

6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND OFF-PLATFORM TRANSACTIONS

Our Platform may contain links to third-party websites or applications, and users frequently utilize third-party payment processors (e.g., Venmo, CashApp) to settle transactions off-platform. We have no control over the privacy practices or content of these third-party platforms. Any information you provide to them is governed by their respective privacy policies, not ours.

7. DATA SECURITY

We have implemented commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information transmitted to our Platform. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. If you delete your account, your public profile will be removed, but we may retain certain log data and messaging history for legal and safety purposes.

9. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on your state of residence (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Correction: You can edit and update your profile information directly within your account settings.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete your account and personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
  • Opt-Out of Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe link in those emails. You cannot opt out of essential administrative emails (e.g., password resets).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email provided below.

10. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Platform is intended solely for university students who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on this Platform. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information immediately.

11. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will notify you by email to the primary email address specified in your account.
