Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Civra Group LLC(“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the CivraGlobalplatform. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of every person who uses our website building and content management services (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes exactly what personal information we collect, how we process and store it, and the choices available to you. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please discontinue use of the Service immediately.
This policy has been drafted to satisfy the requirements of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018 (UK DPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), the Australian Privacy Act 1988, and other applicable data protection legislation worldwide. Where a specific regulation grants you additional rights, we have called those out in the relevant section below.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account and Profile Data
When you register for a CivraGlobalaccount, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored exclusively as a cryptographically hashed value). If you choose to sign in via a third-party identity provider (e.g., Google OAuth), we receive only the basic profile information that provider shares according to your settings there—typically your name, email address, and profile photo URL.
1.2 Payment Information
When you subscribe to a paid plan or make a one-time purchase, billing information (such as your name, billing address, and payment card details) is collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. We store only a tokenized reference to your payment method and your billing address on our own servers. We never receive or store raw card numbers.
1.3 User Content
We store the website content, text, images, files, design assets, and configuration data that you upload or create within CivraGlobal. This content is stored solely to operate the Service on your behalf and to publish or preview websites as you direct. We do not use your content to train machine learning models or share it with third parties for model training purposes.
1.4 Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, actions taken, timestamps, session duration, and error logs. This data is used internally to understand how the Service is being used, to diagnose issues, and to guide product improvements.
1.5 Technical Data
We collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URLs, and language preferences. IP addresses are retained in server logs for a maximum of 90 days for security and abuse-prevention purposes.
1.6 Communications
If you contact our support team or send us feedback, we retain a record of that correspondence, including your email address and the content of your messages, for the purpose of resolving your inquiry and improving the Service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information for the following specific purposes:
- Providing the Service: To operate, maintain, and improve theCivraGlobal platform, process transactions, publish websites you build, and fulfill service requests.
- Account management: To create and manage your account, verify your identity, and provide customer support.
- Communications: To send you service-related notices (e.g., billing receipts, security alerts, downtime notifications), respond to your inquiries, and send product updates if you have opted in.
- Analytics and improvement: To analyze usage patterns, monitor performance, diagnose technical issues, and improve the features and usability of the Service.
- Content tools: To provide automated content suggestions and website drafting capabilities within your account.
- Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from authorities, and enforce our Terms of Service.
- Safety and fraud prevention: To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, spam, and other harmful activities on the platform.
2.1 Our legal bases for processing your personal data under the GDPR and UK DPA are: (a) performance of a contract (providing the Service you signed up for), (b) legitimate interests (improving the Service, security monitoring, fraud prevention), (c) legal obligation (tax and financial reporting), and (d) consent (marketing communications and optional analytics, which you may withdraw at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email).
3. Data Storage and Security
3.1Your account data, website content, and application records are stored in a cloud database infrastructure hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption and in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Database connections are pooled and authenticated through secure credential management—no plaintext credentials are stored in application code.
3.2 User-uploaded images and media files are stored using a secure cloud media management platform that applies its own encryption, access controls, and content delivery optimizations. Media assets are served over HTTPS and access is restricted to authenticated requests originating from your CivraGlobal account.
3.3 We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including role-based access controls, audit logging, vulnerability scanning, and regular security reviews, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
3.4 No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we protect your information using commercially reasonable and industry-standard means, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
3.5 In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant supervisory authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law (72 hours under GDPR, without unreasonable delay under other frameworks).
3.6 Data Processing Locations
Your data may be processed in the United States, European Union, and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. The specific processing locations are:
- Primary infrastructure: United States (AWS US-West-2)
- Backup and redundancy: European Union (AWS EU regions)
- Content delivery (CDN): Global edge network for fast page loads worldwide
4. Third-Party Services
We share data with the following categories of third-party service providers only to the extent strictly necessary for them to perform their services on our behalf. Each provider is bound by a data processing agreement that limits their use of your data to the contracted purpose.

We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy and provide you with the opportunity to delete your account before the transfer takes effect.
5. Cookies and Tracking
5.1 CivraGlobal uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session tokens) to operate the Service, authenticate users, remember preferences, and understand usage patterns. We categorize cookies into the following types:
- Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They handle authentication sessions, security tokens, and core platform operations. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.
- Functional: These cookies remember your preferences, language settings, and interface customizations so you do not need to reconfigure them each session.
- Performance: These cookies collect anonymized information about how you use CivraGlobal—which pages are visited most often, where errors occur—so we can improve the platform. We use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not share data with advertising networks.
5.2 We do not use third-party advertising cookies or track you across other websites for advertising purposes. CivraGlobaldoes not participate in any ad-tech ecosystem.
5.3 You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling Strictly Necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service. Disabling Functional or Performance cookies may degrade your experience but will not block access.
6. Data Retention

6.2 After account deletion, we retain certain data (such as billing records and transactional logs) for up to 7 years as required by financial regulations and tax law in the jurisdictions where we operate.
6.3User Content—your website files, text, images, and design assets—is permanently deleted within 30 days of account closure, unless we are required to retain it by law or unless you have requested an export of your data prior to closure.
6.4 Anonymized and aggregated data derived from your use of the Service may be retained indefinitely for internal analytics purposes, as it can no longer be used to identify you personally.
