Your privacy is essential to us, and so is being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information about you. We believe you should know as much as possible about OhVenus's practices so that you can make informed decisions about the information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains:
This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy practices for OHVENUS LTD ("OhVenus"), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom with company number 12665390 whose registered office is at Unit #2042 275 New North Road, London, LND, n1 7aa, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "our"), and applies to our website www.ohhhvenus.com (the "Site") and any subdomains and services we offer (together with the Site, the "Services"). By visiting the Site or using our Services you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree please do not use or access our Site or Services.
If at any time you have questions about our practices or any of your rights described below, you may contact us at xoxo@Ohhhvenus.com. This inbox is monitored and managed so that we can deliver an experience that you can confidently trust.
We collect and process information about you only where we have legal basis for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal basis depends on the services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:
We require certain information from you to provide our Services. We collect information that directly or indirectly identifies you, if you choose to share it with us.
We receive information in a few different ways, including when you create an OhVenus account, purchase a product, or sign up for a service such as a subscription or a newsletter from OhVenus. We also collect additional information when delivering our Services to ensure necessary and optimal performance. These collection methods may not be as obvious to you, so we have highlighted and explained below a bit more about why and how we collect this information.
i. Basic account information: In general, if you have not created an OhVenus account or you are not logged in, the only information you reveal to us when you browse the Site is your IP address. We store IP addresses in our logs for 7 days to help us identify problems and to help prevent misuse of the Site.
If you do choose to create an account, you must provide us with some personal data so that we can provide our Services to you, such as:

iii. Information you provide through support communications: for example, when you ask for support, send us questions or comments, or report a problem.
i. Location information: We collect information about your location, which we get from signals such as your IP address, to personalize our Services to you.
ii. Cookies: A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on your computer or mobile device. Like many websites, we use cookies to track how you browse our Site, the links you click, the OhVenus projects you view, your device type, and to collect various data, including analytics, about how you use and interact with our Services. This allows us to provide you with more relevant product offerings, a better experience on our Site, and to collect, analyse and improve the performance of our Services. For additional information, and to learn how to manage the technologies we use, please visit our Cookie Policy.
iii. Log data: Data about the use of our Services is automatically collected when you use and interact with our Services, including metadata, log files, cookie/device IDs and location information. This information includes specific data about your interactions with the features, content and links (including those of third parties, such as social media plugins) contained within the Services; Internet Protocol (IP) address; browser type and settings; the date and time the Services were used; information about browser configuration and plugins; language preferences and cookie data; information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and error data; and some of this data collected might be capable of and be used to approximate your location.
iv. Information we receive from other sources: If you choose to sign up and log in to the Services using accounts you create with third-party products and services such as Facebook or Twitter ("Third-Party Accounts"), we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, profile information and preferences with the applicable Third-Party Account. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to OhVenus under their privacy policies. You can generally control the information that we receive from these sources using the privacy settings in your Third-Party Account.
We are committed to both minimizing the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that (1) for which we have been given permission, (2) as necessary to deliver our Services, or (3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes. These uses include:
3.1. Delivering, improving, updating and enhancing our Services
We collect various information relating to transactions you make on our Site, and your use of and/or interactions with our Services. We use this information to:
Often, much of the data collected is de-identified or aggregated in ways that do not personally identify you. Examples of such aggregated information or statistical data include information about interactions of the Site (e.g. page views) or customer profiling (e.g. demographics or location information).
3.2. How we share your data
i. Sharing with trusted third parties for operational purposes
We outsource certain aspects of our business to trusted third parties. For example:
We only share your personal data as necessary for any third party to provide the services as requested or as needed on our behalf. These third parties are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced OhVenus-related operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses.
ii. Third-party websites
Our Site contains links to third-party websites, such as social media websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party sites. Please read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Certain areas on our site contain embedded videos, served by https://www.youtube.com. Visiting these pages results in YouTube being sent data about your browsing activity.
iii. Sharing with partners for marketing purposes
When you purchase a reward from a partner project, OhVenus will ask whether or not you consent to receiving marketing emails from the partner. We'll only share your personal details with a partner if you opt-in to receive communications from it. Note that the partner will need to receive your personal data to send you emails you consent to receive.
When we pass your information to our partners, they also become a controller with respect to such personal data. This means that they're responsible for their own compliance with data protection laws when they use your personal data, and all such use is subject to the partners' own privacy notice. OhVenus is not responsible for partners' use of your personal data or the partners' compliance with applicable laws.
If you want to change your preferences for a partner to use your data (to contact you or otherwise), please contact the partner directly. Contact xoxo@ohhhvenus.com for their contact information.
Please note we cannot reflect any changes in your consent preferences that you make directly with the partner. For example, if you opt in to receive emails from a partner when you order through OhVenus, but then you subsequently opt out by telling the partner, OhVenus won't have a record that you opted out of receiving emails from that partner.
iv. Community Forums
Our site might offer publicly accessible forums such as Q&As and comment section on articles. You should be aware that information you provide in these may be read, collected and used by any other member of the public who accesses the Site. We urge you to consider the sensitivity and legality of any content you contribute when using the Services.
3.3. Communicating with you
We may use your personal information to contact you directly or through a third-party service provider regarding products or services you have signed up or purchased from us, such as is necessary to deliver transactional or service-related communications. We may also contact you with offers for additional services we think you'll find valuable if you give us consent, or where allowed based upon legitimate interests.
You don't need to provide consent as a condition to use our Services.
3.4. Website Analytics
Like most websites, we use various web analytics tools provided by service partners such as Google Analytics and Hot Jar Analytics to collect information about how you interact with our Site, including what pages you visit, what site you visited prior to visiting our website, how much time you spend on each page, what operating system and web browser you use, and network and IP information.
We use the information provided by these tools to improve our Services. These tools place persistent cookies in your browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website. Each cookie cannot be used by anyone other than the service provider (e.g. Google for Google Analytics). The information collected from the cookie may be transmitted to and stored by these service partners on servers in a country other than the country in which you reside.
