If we make important changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on our website and/or contact our customers as appropriate or as required by applicable law

  1. What does this Privacy Policy cover?

    This statement describes VENELITE’s customer privacy practices for our VENELITE -branded global websites and app, VENELITE services, VENELITE customer sales and marketing activities, and VENELITE customer services and support functions, among others. This statement does not apply to VENELITE employee data practices. Please also note that certain VENELITE websites, or app and software experiences may have links to third-party websites or services.

  2. What personal, user and product data does VENELITE collect and how does VENELITE use and share the personal data it collects?

    VENELITE may collect certain categories of data about you when you use our websites; use our services; receive our marketing communications; interact with our customer service and support teams; and in other contexts. The data we collect can be broadly categorized as follows:

    • Personal Data: This is individually identifiable data that you may choose to provide us. This may include basic information such as your email address and phone number, or more sensitive information such as your full date of birth, home address, social security number, or your payment information.
    • Identity Verification and Payment Information. Such as images of your government issued ID (as permitted by applicable laws), your ID number or other verification information, bank account or payment account information. If a copy of your ID is provided to us, we may scan, use, and store information contained in your ID to verify your identity.
    • User Data: This is data that we collect from users of our services. User data could include personal data such as your unique VENELITE user ID or account username and password, but sometimes this user data is anonymous or “pseudonymous”, i.e., certain user data that could be made identifiable if associated with personal data.
    • Location Data: This is data we collect that help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our Service and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Policy.

    VENELITE has various uses for your personal and user data you provide to us. Here are the principal contexts in which we may use, retain and share your personal and user data:

    • Websites and Account Management: Most often, you may browse our websites without providing any personal data to us. However, if you choose to establish a user account with VENELITE, engage in e-commerce, sign up for marketing communications, or interact with our customer service teams or participate in a forum on our website, we will likely need to collect some personal or user data from you. In addition, our web servers automatically collect certain data by default, such as IP addresses and other activity logs. This type of data is used for website security and site improvement purposes. Much of that data is not readily identifiable and is usually kept anonymous. In order to maintain and improve our websites, VENELITE uses third party hosting, content management and security partners, vendors and suppliers.
    • Sales: If you decide to purchase a service from VENELITE, we will need to collect certain personal data from you, including payment-related information. Typically, we use third party partners, vendors and suppliers, such as payment processing companies during our sales.
    • Marketing & Social Media: You may choose to receive VENELITE marketing communications, participate in an event/contest/promotion with us, or connect with VENELITE via social media. If you do so, we will collect certain personal data about you, such as your contact information, social media profile information and, in order to determine your eligibility for a contest or promotion, your full or partial dates of birth. VENELITE may share your personal data with our marketing agencies and partners to carry out our marketing campaigns, contests and promotions. If you wish to unsubscribe from our marketing, please follow the opt-out link in the communications you receive from us; update your contact preferences in your VENELITE account personal settings;.
    • Product Registration: If you use VENELITE services, you may choose to establish a VENELITE user account. A VENELITE user account profile may include your username, password, settings, preferences, contact information, device ID information, and related data. VENELITE may share this information with other VENELITE subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers, such as third-party hosting partners. Certain VENELITE product settings, preference information, applications history and location-based information may be used by VENELITE product development and improvement and customer service teams if you choose to enable enhanced customer support services.
    • Customer Service & Support: If you choose to interact with VENELITE customer service and support - whether it be via our website, social media, chat, email or phone - VENELITE customer service teams (some of whom work for outsourced vendors and suppliers of VENELITE) may have access to your account information, product information, contact information and payment information. You may also be required to answer certain security questions to verify your identity and your call or session with VENELITE customer support may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
    • Job Opportunities: You may choose to apply for employment opportunities at VENELITE through the VENELITE website. If you complete an application for a job at VENELITE, we may collect your contact information, data on job history and certain other information that may be required or allowed under applicable laws to screen candidates for employment. We may share this information with other VENELITE subsidiaries and affiliates and vendors and suppliers who provide us with candidate search and hiring services.
    • Board Advisory, Consulting or Non-Executive Director Opportunities: You may choose to apply or indicate your availability at VENELITE's app to be considered for board advisory, consulting or non-executive roles or act as an expert to our portfolio companies. If you complete a professional profile, we may collect your contact information, data on job history and expertise that may be required or allowed under the applicable laws to screen candidates for those roles.
