Acceptance of Privacy Policy

Your use of the Sovran Private Society, Sovau.me, or any other affiliated websites and platforms operated by the Society (collectively referred to as “Sovran”) website, products, and services (collectively, the “Service”) is governed by this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and any other notices posted on the Sovran website. By accessing or using the Sovran Service, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and the Sovran Private Society Articles of Association, which governs the private jurisdiction of all Society activities. If you do not agree to these terms, you must refrain from accessing the Sovran website or using its services.

Sovran reserves the right to modify, add, or remove terms from this Privacy Policy at its sole discretion without prior notice. Changes will take effect immediately upon being posted on the Sovran website. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

Commitment to Privacy

Sovran recognizes your fundamental right to privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of all members who interact with the Service. This Privacy Policy explains how Sovran collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information, adhering to the guiding principles of the Sovran Private Society Articles of Association and the governance of its Indigenous Jurisdiction.

Information Collected

Sovran collects personal information provided voluntarily by members, such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and any other identifying information necessary for membership and access to the Service. This information is gathered for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Service, ensuring compliance with the principles of the Society’s governance, and delivering personalized services to its members.

During agreement acknowledgment, including initial signup or digital signature processes, Sovran may collect specific metadata for verification purposes. This includes IP addresses, timestamps, and other data tied to the acknowledgment. Such information ensures the integrity of the agreement process and complies with operational standards.

Non-personal information, such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns, may also be collected automatically. This information helps Sovran enhance the functionality and security of the Service.

Sovran does not collect information beyond what is necessary for the fulfillment of its stated purposes and will take reasonable measures to ensure that all information is accurate and up-to-date.

Use of Information

Sovran uses personal information to:

Facilitate member access to the Service and ensure compliance with membership requirements.
Communicate with members about updates, events, and other relevant information regarding the Sovran Private Society.
Protect the integrity and security of the Service, including preventing unauthorized access or activities that conflict with the principles of the Society.
Respond to member inquiries and provide technical or administrative support.

Non-personal information can include the date and time of the visit to our website, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous website visited or the next website you visit after ours, and the type of browser used to access our website. Such data is used in aggregate form to assist Sovran in determining general usage patterns and to administer, diagnose problems with, and fine-tune the layout of the website. Sovran may share non-personal, summary, or aggregate visitor data with partners and other third parties at its discretion.

Sovran will not sell, lease, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties except as required to comply with applicable laws, lawful government requests, or in Sovran's reasonable opinion, to operate the Service securely and properly, or to protect Sovran or other members. To the extent reasonably possible and at Sovran's sole discretion, prior consent from the individual will be sought before such disclosures under the governance of the Indigenous Jurisdiction of the Sovran Private Society.

Protection of Information

Sovran employs commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal information. Measures include encryption of sensitive data, secure storage systems, and restricted access to authorized personnel.

The transmission of information through registration and purchase areas of the Sovran website is protected by encryption to prevent unauthorized access to personal information. However, the transmission of data or information (including communications by email) over the Internet or other publicly accessible networks is inherently insecure and subject to possible loss, interception, or alteration while in transit.

Your account is password-protected and includes 2FA functionality for enhanced security. Sovran utilizes beyond industry-standard measures, including proprietary security protocols, to safeguard the personal information stored on its Service.

Accordingly, Sovran does not assume liability for any damage or costs you may incur due to such transmissions, including those involving your password or submitted information. While Sovran takes commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard personal information and treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, any inadvertent release or unauthorized access by third parties beyond Sovran’s control will not result in liability.

By using the Service, you acknowledge these risks and agree to take precautions when transmitting personal data.

Confidentiality and Limited Disclosure

Sovran strictly adheres to the principles of confidentiality as established in the Articles of Association. Personal information will only be shared with authorized members or affiliates of the Society for legitimate purposes aligned with the Service’s operations. Disclosure to external parties will occur only when required to comply with applicable laws, lawful government requests, or in Sovran's reasonable opinion, to operate the Service securely and properly, or to protect Sovran or other members. To the extent reasonably possible and at Sovran's sole discretion, prior consent from the individual will be sought before such disclosures.

All agreements are enforceable under the governance of the Society and its private jurisdiction. Any disputes or breaches will be resolved in accordance with the Society’s principles and through the Court of the People.

Access and Updates to Information

Members may request access to their personal information or updates to ensure accuracy by contacting the Sovran support team. Requests will be handled promptly, and Sovran will take reasonable steps to accommodate such requests while safeguarding the privacy of other members.

Third-Party Websites

The Sovran Service may include links or pointers to third-party websites. These links are provided solely for convenience and do not signify Sovran’s endorsement or approval of the organizations that operate such websites, the content on such websites, or the products and services offered by such third parties.

You should be aware that third-party websites may collect data or solicit personal information from you. Sovran does not control these websites and is not responsible for their privacy policies, content, or practices regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of any data or personal information they may collect.

Moreover, information transmitted to or from third-party websites may be subject to risks inherent to the use of the Internet or other publicly accessible networks. We strongly encourage members to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party websites they visit to understand their practices.

Use of Blockchain Technology

Certain aspects of the Sovran Service may involve 3rd party blockchain-based technologies. Transactions facilitated on these systems are inherently public and decentralized, and Sovran does not store or control the data processed through those blockchain networks.

Transactions facilitated through third-party Web3 wallets are subject to the security and privacy practices of those wallets. These wallets receive only the information necessary to verify and authorize transactions. Sovran is not responsible for errors made during transaction input or for the security, integrity, or privacy of information processed by third-party Web3 wallets. Members acknowledge the inherent risks of data breaches or tampering during transit on blockchain networks and release Sovran from liability related to such incidents.

Members are responsible for safeguarding their private keys and wallet information. Sovran will not be held liable for any losses or breaches resulting from member mismanagement of blockchain credentials.

Data Retention

Sovran will retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required under the governance of the Indigenous Jurisdiction of the Sovran Private Society. Upon cessation of membership or termination of the Service, data will be securely archived or destroyed in accordance with Sovran’s retention policies.

Acceptance of Terms

By continuing to use the Service, you affirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Your acceptance signifies agreement to the terms and adherence to the principles of confidentiality, privacy, and mutual respect as outlined herein and governed by the Articles of Association of the Sovran Private Society.
