This Privacy Policy explains how VECTORAGR ("VECTORAGR", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses, retains and protects personal information when you visit https://www.vectoragr.com/, contact us, request a demonstration, quotation, support or information about our products and services.
1. Who we are and the scope of this Policy
The data controller is [full legal entity name], with registered address [registered address]. Privacy contact: [privacy email]. Data Protection Officer or EEA/UK representative, if applicable: [DPO or representative name and contact details].
In this Policy, "personal information" or "personal data" means information relating to an identified or identifiable person. This Policy covers personal data processed in connection with the website, commercial inquiries, demonstrations, sales and support.
2. Categories of personal data we may collect
We may collect the following categories of personal data:
Identifiers and contact information: name, company, job title, country or region, email address, telephone number, postal address and message content.
Commercial and professional information: your interest in our products or services, quote, demonstration, purchase, delivery, warranty and support details.
Internet and electronic network information: IP address, cookie or device identifiers, browser type, operating system, language, pages viewed, referring URL, access date/time, approximate location inferred from IP address and security logs.
User content: documents, images or other materials you choose to send to us.
Sensitive or special-category information: please do not send sensitive information unless it is necessary and requested by us. If we process it, we will use the required legal basis and safeguards.
3. Sources of personal data
We may obtain personal data directly from you, automatically through the website, or from authorized business sources.
Directly from you when you submit a form, email, demonstration request, quotation request, support request or other communication.
Automatically when you use the website through logs, cookies and similar technologies configured on your browser or device.
From authorized distributors, resellers, partners or professional sources where permitted by law and connected with a legitimate commercial inquiry.
4. How we use personal data and our legal bases
We use personal data to:
Respond to contact, quotation, demonstration, sale, delivery, warranty and technical-support requests.
Operate, protect, maintain and improve the website, our products, service and communications security.
Meet legal, accounting, tax, anti-fraud and rights-protection obligations.
Send marketing communications only where consent or another permitted legal basis exists, with an unsubscribe option.
Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases may include taking steps requested before entering into a contract, performing a contract, consent, compliance with a legal obligation and legitimate interests that do not override your rights and freedoms.
5. Cookies, analytics and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential functions, remember preferences, protect the website and, when configured, measure performance or support marketing communications.
Non-essential cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, will be used only after consent where required by applicable law. You can change your choices through [cookie preference centre link]. Where U.S. law requires it, we will recognize valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for the purposes covered by those signals.
6. Sharing, sale/share and targeted advertising
We may disclose personal data as necessary and subject to confidentiality and security measures to hosting, IT, security, CRM, communications, analytics, authorized-distributor and other service providers acting on our behalf.
VECTORAGR does not sell personal data for monetary consideration. However, certain third-party advertising or analytics configurations may be treated as a "sale", "share" or targeted advertising under U.S. state privacy laws. If that applies, we will provide a [Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link] or another required control and honor valid opt-out requests.
7. International data transfers
Personal data may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as an adequacy decision, applicable contractual clauses or another valid transfer mechanism.
8. Retention and security
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. The period depends on the nature of the relationship, the amount and sensitivity of the data, and applicable legal requirements.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Rights for individuals in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Where the GDPR or equivalent law applies, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing, and withdrawal of consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred. Some data may be required to perform a contract, meet a legal obligation or respond to a legitimate request.
10. U.S. state privacy rights
Subject to applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA where applicable, and their respective thresholds, U.S. residents may have the following rights:
To confirm processing, know/access categories and specific personal information, obtain a portable copy, correct inaccurate information or request deletion.
To opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising or certain profiling; and to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information where applicable.
To be free from discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights and to use an authorized agent where permitted by law.
To submit a request or appeal a decision about a request, email [privacy email]. We may verify your identity and, where required, will respond within the applicable legal period. You may also use [privacy request/opt-out link], if available.
11. Children and automated decision-making
The website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or below another applicable minimum age. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us.
If we use solely automated processing to make a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects, we will provide the notices and safeguards required by applicable law.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will publish the updated version on this page and revise the effective date when a change takes effect. Please review this Policy periodically.
