7. Security

Vivio applies appropriate technical and organisational measures: TLS encryption in transit, passwords hashed with bcrypt (salt 12), TOTP two-factor authentication, access logs and regular security updates.

8. Cookies and analytics

We use the following trackers, and no others:

  • Strictly necessary cookies, make the site work (language preference, authentication session, security). Exempt from consent.
  • Anonymous analytics (Umami), a privacy-friendly tool that sets no cookie and cannot identify you. Always on, exempt from consent.
  • Cookie-based analytics (Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics), set only after you consent. They help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • Review widget (Trustpilot), loaded on the home page only after you consent, to show our rating and reviews. Trustpilot then receives the address of the page you are viewing and your IP address. Without consent, no request is sent to Trustpilot.
  • Advertising (Google AdSense), when active, it runs on the blog articles of this site only — never on the other pages — and, inside the app, only on free-plan accounts: no ad is served during the first 15 days or on a paid plan. Third-party vendors, including Google, then set cookies on your device and use them to show ads based on your previous visits, to this site and to others. That consent is collected by Google's consent management platform, which is separate from the banner described below; without it, no personalised ad is served.

Opting out of personalised advertising. Independently of our site, you can turn off Google ad personalisation in your Google account ad settings, and that of other ad networks at youronlinechoices.com (European initiative) or aboutads.info. These settings apply to every site you visit, not to getvivio.com alone.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of the page. Withdrawing consent reloads the page to stop the scripts concerned and clears the cookies they had set on our domain. Your choice is kept for 6 months, then asked again.
