6. User Data Management. Messaging. Live Chat. Register/Delete account.

Live Chat data during Live stream or web conference is deleted completely from our servers when stream terminates.

Private message data is stored securely in our encrypted database. BVidz administrators have no access to this data. This data is locked with powerful encryption. Australian Laws require that in the event of Illegal activity, that this Encryption can be unlocked. Legal Authorities would need to request this via legal warrant. BVidz would follow necessary legal avenues to resolve this and only issue information directly related to individual/s. This is reasonable. Otherwise database is locked with encryption and cannot be viewed by any BVidz administrators nor any third party. However as a general warning for any website that claims totally secure messaging - this may be true for the organisation. If Legal Authorities get involved, this is not the case. Especially in Australia. Group messaging is managed differently to private messaging. Anyone in the group can see the messages.

Registration data. BVidz stores the personal information Members provide in their profile. Members can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators may view that information when there is account issues. To create an account on bvidz.com: username and email is stored on our servers and in Admin. Sometimes Login IP will be stored if the account is suspected as spam, bot or repeat offender of our Terms.

Account Deletion. If a Member decides to delete account, this information is completely deleted. Account deletion may be suspended in the event of a pending legal case or the user consistently violates the Terms of bvidz.com. If a user persists to violate the terms the email address and user will be banned from creating future accounts.

As well as having a robust privacy protection policy, bvidz.com does NOT share any information with third parties, data miners/sellers etc. bvidz.com does not sell data. bvidz.com collects email address and username, and login IP address (if malicious activity is suspected, otherwise we do not collect IP address). These are minimum requirements for most sites. However in cases where legal authorities are involved bvidz.com administrators shall follow the law with appropriate legal presentation. BVidz Administrators will only share the data of specific member in question, not hand over complete database. Or in the event the Authorities demand this - a legal dispute will follow beforehand. Look out for any BVidz gofundme requests!
