Privacy Policy
gave. (“we”, “us”) makes NFC cards that open a personal digital profile when tapped. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using gave.ph or a gave. card, you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
- Sign-in information. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. When you sign in by email, we receive your email address.
- Profile information you add. This can include your name, headline, bio, photo, location, phone number, links to your social media and messaging accounts, education, and gallery photos.
- Card usage information. When a card is tapped we record the time, a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of the IP address, the browser or device type, and the page that referred the visitor. We do not store the raw IP address in this record.
- Technical information. We use browser storage to keep you signed in, and a spam-protection check (Cloudflare Turnstile) on email sign-in.
2. How we use your information
- To create and show your profile when your card is tapped.
- To sign you in and let you edit your own profile.
- To send you the one-time sign-in link when you choose email.
- To count card taps and keep the service secure and free of abuse.
- To fix problems and improve gave.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. What is public
The profile information you add is shown to anyone who taps your card or opens your profile link. This includes your phone number if you add one. Only add information you are comfortable sharing. You can change or remove information in your profile at any time.
4. Who we share information with
We use trusted service providers to run gave. They handle data only to provide their service to us:
- Supabase: database, sign-in and file storage.
- Vercel: website hosting.
- Resend: sending sign-in emails.
- Google: Google sign-in.
- Cloudflare: spam and bot protection.
We may also share information if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of our users and of gave.
5. Google user data
If you sign in with Google, we use your name, email address and profile picture only to create your account and sign you in. We do not use Google user data for advertising and we do not sell it. Our use of information received from Google follows the Google API Services User Data Policy.
6. How long we keep information
We keep your information while your account and card are active. You can ask us to delete your account and profile at any time (see section 8), or do it yourself at gave.ph/lost: your profile is hidden right away and permanently deleted after a 3-day grace period, during which you can cancel. Some records may be kept for a short time where needed for security or by law.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical measures to protect your information, including access controls on our database. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) you have rights that include being informed about how your data is used, accessing and correcting it, objecting to its use, asking for it to be erased or blocked, and filing a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. To use any of these rights, or to have your account deleted, email us at gaveyourinfo@gmail.com.
9. Children
gave. is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Continued use of gave. after a change means you accept the updated policy.
