Privacy, rules
& safety.

Privacy comes first

Personal gifts may contain names, messages, photos, videos and important dates. Only add information that you have a right to use and that the recipient would reasonably expect to receive.

• Do not upload another person's private information without permission.
• Do not include addresses, identity documents, passwords, financial details or other sensitive information in a gift.
• Use a unique password for each private gift and do not share it publicly.
• Anyone who receives both a gift link and its password may be able to open that gift. Share them carefully.

Your photos, words and memories

You remain responsible for the content you submit and must have permission to use it. Do not upload content that violates another person's privacy, copyright or other rights.

Before launch, NIVA must clearly publish what information is stored, where it is stored, how long it is retained, how a user can request deletion, and how backups are handled. Do not assume that closing a browser or deleting a local draft deletes a published gift from the server.

Security and private gift links

The current project includes browser-side encryption for the gift content and a password gate on the recipient page. Encryption does not make a link invulnerable: protect your password, use an up-to-date device and avoid opening private gifts on shared devices.

• Never send your account password or gift password to someone claiming to be support.
• Sign out after using a shared device.
• Report a lost or exposed link/password through the official contact channel once NIVA publishes one.
• Do not rely on a private link as a substitute for consent or permission to share the content.

Transparency: the final production service should document what metadata the server can access, how encryption keys are handled, and which service providers process data. Do not promise that nobody can ever access data until the deployed system and its operations have been independently checked.

Rules for using NIVA

• Use NIVA lawfully and respectfully.
• Do not create gifts to threaten, harass, impersonate, blackmail or humiliate anyone.
• Do not share intimate, private or embarrassing material without clear permission.
• Do not upload malware, attempt to bypass passwords, probe other users' gifts or interfere with the service.
• Do not use NIVA to infringe copyright, impersonate another person or distribute illegal content.
• Do not attempt to access another user's account or gift without authorization.

Make the surprise safe and welcome

A thoughtful gift should make someone feel respected. Avoid content that could put a person at risk, reveal their location, pressure them to respond, or expose a private relationship or personal circumstance.

• Ask permission before using sensitive photos or sharing a gift with a group.
• Do not use a gift link to track, pressure or repeatedly contact someone who does not want contact.
• Keep minors' personal information and images especially protected.
• If a gift contains an accidental disclosure, stop sharing the link and password and use the service's published support process when available.

Your choices and future updates

Users should be able to understand what they submit and how to request access, correction or deletion where applicable. The final version of this page should include a working support email, the legal business identity, an effective date, an update history, retention details, and any applicable consumer or privacy rights.

For now, this page is informational and does not itself create a support channel or automated deletion feature. Those must be connected and tested before public launch.
