Privacy policy.

Updated 06 Jun 2024

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected by VigilCode, Inc., its affiliates, and subsidiaries (collectively, “VigilCode”) when you interact with the Website, the services provided on or through the Website, as well as all of our websites, emails, social media accounts, mobile applications, and online services (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy does not cover any third parties or their products, actions, or services. This Policy also does not apply to, and VigilCode is not responsible for, cookies, pixels, and other technologies used for third-party advertising. VigilCode’s Services also allow users to connect to and use third-party services and websites, such as but not limited to, social networking services and recruitment platforms. VigilCode cannot control how such third parties may collect, use, or secure your data. For information about a third party’s privacy practices, please consult their privacy policy.

VigilCode reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, alter or otherwise update the Policy at any time. If VigilCode updates the Policy, it will notify you by revising the “Last Updated” date on this page. In some cases, VigilCode may provide additional notice, such as by adding a statement or banner to the Website or by sending an email notification.

Collection of Information

This section provides information on how VigilCode may obtain information about you and the type of information VigilCode collects.

VigilCode collects information provided by you. For example, VigilCode collects information when you participate in any interactive feature of the Services, fill out a form, register to attend webinars, participate in a contest or promotion, request customer support, apply for a position with VigilCode, or otherwise communicate with VigilCode.

Information Collected Automatically

VigilCode may automatically collect information as you use the Services through the use of cookies, web beacons, pixels, device identifiers, and other similar technologies. VigilCode and certain third parties, including analytics companies, advertisers, and ad networks, may also automatically collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites, devices, online channels, and applications.

Information Collected from Other Sources

VigilCode may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with other information it collects. For example, if you choose to share information about your use of VigilCode’s solutions with others through third-party social media sites, VigilCode may receive information from those third-party sites.

Information VigilCode Collects

VigilCode may collect the following categories of information:

  • Personal Identifiers: Name, email address, phone number, contact address, username, social media handle, and unique identifiers (such as those assigned in cookies).

VigilCode is based in the United States, and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the United States and other countries that may not have equivalent data protection laws as those in your home countries. Because VigilCode is located in the United States, these data transfers to the United States are necessary to provide the Website and products and services to you and to operate our Services.

Sharing of Information

This section provides information on how VigilCode or the Services may share information.

Information You Share

The Services may allow you to connect and share your actions, comments, content, and information publicly or with other people. You may also connect to and share your information on third-party social media platforms, websites, applications, and services through plug-ins, widgets, buttons, and other third-party features on and connected with our Services. You must be mindful of your own privacy needs and those of others as you choose who to connect with and what you share with others. VigilCode cannot control the privacy of information you choose to make public or share with others. VigilCode also cannot control and is not responsible for any social media services or their actions, including their collection of consumer data and how they use such data. It is your responsibility to review the privacy policies of social media services.

Information VigilCode Shares

To the fullest extent allowed by law, VigilCode may share certain information with third parties at its discretion, including information that has been de-identified and aggregated user statistics. We may share your information, including personal information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as described below or elsewhere in this Policy, or otherwise with your consent. Examples include, without limitation, the following disclosures:

  • Service Providers: VigilCode may share your information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on VigilCode’s behalf. Examples include parties that provide advertising and marketing support, and analytics providers.

  • Business Partners: VigilCode may sell product lines jointly with select business partners, such as resellers and distributors, in which case we may provide such partners with the information necessary for such purpose.

  • Investors: VigilCode may disclose aggregate data about the use of VigilCode’s solutions to our investors.

  • Legal and Compliance: VigilCode may share information where necessary to comply with applicable law, to respond to requests from law enforcement agencies or other government authorities or third-parties (as permitted by law) and to protect the rights and interests of, without limitation, VigilCode, its personnel, and customers.

  • Corporate: VigilCode may transfer your personal information to another entity as part of a sale of our business/assets or as part of any business restructuring, reorganization, or other corporate transaction.

VigilCode may also share aggregated or de-identified information for any legal purpose.

When VigilCode has location information, it uses it to tailor the Services for you and others. For example, whenever you open, use, or interact with one of VigilCode's Services, VigilCode may use the location information to tailor the Services to your current location. This location information is not shared with others, except for authorized service providers who help VigilCode improve and deliver the Services.

Advertising and Analytics

VigilCode may use cookies, pixels, and other technologies on its websites, in its ads, and in its emails to deliver and track VigilCode advertising displayed to you on third-party websites and apps. VigilCode also uses cookie information to know when you return to VigilCode’s Website after visiting third-party sites. This information helps VigilCode understand your interests and show relevant advertising and information about products and services offered by VigilCode and its partners.

Certain third-party ad networks may also automatically collect information about your visits to VigilCode’s Websites and other websites through the use of cookies, pixels, or other technologies. Information collected by such third parties may be used for analytics and advertising, including to deliver advertising relevant to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of VigilCode’s Website and other sites tracked by these third parties. As noted above, this Policy does not apply to, and VigilCode is not responsible for, cookies, pixels, and other technologies used for third-party advertising. VigilCode encourages you to check the privacy policies of third-party advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies, pixels, and other technology. You can learn more about these practices and your choices by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ in the USA, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada at http://youradchoices.ca/ in Canada, or the European Digital Advertising Alliance at http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ in Europe and visiting the privacy policies of the companies listed. You may visit Google Ad Preferences for Apps on your mobile devices for more information about targeted advertising or to opt out of having information used in this way.

Some browsers incorporate a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them except as specifically required by law.

Security

VigilCode takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no security system is impenetrable, and VigilCode cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%.
