Welcome to www.myrevea.com (the “site”).

This Privacy Policy discloses our information collection and dissemination practices in connection with the Services. This Privacy Policy does not address personal information that you provide to us in other contexts (e.g., through a business or investment relationship not handled through the Services).

1. What this privacy policy covers

If Non-PI is directly or indirectly associated with PI, this Non-PI is then treated as PI.
