If you create an account with Vivian, all Device Data and Usage Data will become associated with your account.

You serve as reference for a candidate
The Vivian platform enables candidates to provide the name and contact information (phone number and email) of individuals who may be contacted by Vivian to serve as professional references. We encourage candidates to ensure they receive consent of references prior to sharing reference personal information with us. We use this information solely for contacting references in connection with the candidate, creating a candidate reference form and storing such form in our platform together with the candidate profile, to make it available to recruiters who are interested in the candidate. To request the deletion of your contact information from Vivian's platform and systems, please contact us at [email protected]. See also your specific rights under the State Specific Disclosures and Rights section of this Privacy Policy.
You Participate in a Loyalty Program
In order to earn rewards under certain loyalty programs, you may be required to provide a pay stub to enable Vivian to verify that you have been hired for a job via the Vivian platform. Vivian will collect and use your pay stub information for such verification. Vivian will not share your pay stub information with anyone. Your pay stub may contain your full social security number, which is not required for Vivian's verification. You should redact your social security number prior to uploading your pay stub to the Vivian platform.
You Use an Employer/Recruiter Account
Vivian provides its enterprise customers (“Customers”) services by connecting them to our jobs marketplace. In the course of providing such services, Vivian will receive and have access to personal information of individual users to whom Customers grant access (“Authorized Users”).

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information (which includes the categories of Personal Information for California residents set forth in the charts below) for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, as required to satisfy any legal obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes we process your personal information for, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
