Vindicia Privacy Policy

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) was last updated in December 2019.

Preamble

Vindicia, Inc. (“Vindicia”, “we”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy details certain policies implemented throughout our company governing Vindicia’s use of personally identifiable information about:

  • visitors to our Internet website (the “Site”) located at the URL: Vindicia.com, and
  • visitors to our clients’ Internet websites (“the Sites”) which use our services and/or products (collectively, services and products are: “Service” or “Services”).

Where the Privacy Policy differs depending on whether you are using the Site(s) or the Services, those distinctions will be noted in this Privacy Policy.

Privacy policy updates

Due to the Internet’s rapidly evolving nature, Vindicia may need to update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If so, Vindicia will post a notice of the change and the updated Privacy Policy on our Site located at https://www.vindicia.com/privacy-policy. We may also send registered visitors of the Site(s) e-mail notifications notifying such visitors of any changes to the Privacy Policy. If any change is unacceptable to you, you have the right to cease using this Site(s) and the Services. If you do not cease using this Site(s) and the Services, you will be deemed to have accepted Vindicia’s then current Privacy Policy.

Information Collection

Through the site:

You can generally visit the Site without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. However, in certain sections of the Site we may invite you to contact us for information or questions, inquire about a job or apply for a job, or provide other information, such as referrals, or to obtain content we provide for informational and marketing purposes. In such situations, you may disclose to us your name, phone number, email address, title, company name, and certain employment-related information. We may track and store information such as the total number of visitors to our Site(s), the number of visitors to each page of our Site(s), your IP address, your browser type, the number of external web site (defined below) pages you have visited, and other browsing or computer data.

Through the services:

When our clients use our Services, our client or you may provide us with information about you, including personally identifiable information such as your name, address, email, phone number, IP address, and financial information such as your credit card numbers and expiration dates and bank account numbers. Our clients or you may also provide us with information about the transactions you have entered into with our clients.

Use of information

We may use your personally identifiable information you submit to the Site(s) to contact you to deliver certain Services or information you have requested, verify your authority to enter our Site(s), consider your eligibility for employment, improve the content and general administration of the Site(s), provide Services, provide you with notices regarding goods and/or Services that you have purchased or may wish to purchase inthe future, and for targeted advertising. Vindicia uses the information Vindicia receives from you and our clients through your or our clients’ use of the Services to provide our Services to our clients, for example, to bill on our client’s behalf, dispute chargebacks, make a transaction risk determination, choose the right offer to present to you, or calculate tax. Such information about the transactions that you have made will be correlated with your personally identifiableinformation in a transaction history that Vindicia stores. We may also use aggregate information (defined below) to analyze and report upon trends, improve the Services we provide to you and our clients, and allow our clients to improve the services they offer you and prospective new customers, administer the Site(s) and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Aggregate information:

Some of the information collected by Vindicia is used for analysis purposes. This information is analyzed in an anonymous format. The groups created by such information are devoid of most personally identifiable information, such that individuals cannot be easily identified.

Disclosure and onward transfer of information

We may provide your personally identifiable information and/or the aggregate information to our subsidiaries and affiliates. We may provide your personally identifiable information and/or the aggregate information to vendors and service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing our Services to you. We also may provide a transaction risk score that we generate based on your transactions with other clients as well as an explanation of your score in general to our other clients in Vindicia’s network. Such third parties will be restricted from further distributing your personally identifiable information and must enter into a written confidentialityagreement with us. Vindicia is liable for appropriate onward transfers of personal data to third parties. We will return your personally identifiable information to the client (or their designated service provider) that originally provided such personally identifiable information to us upon that client’s request, provided that the recipient maintains the appropriate Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”) compliance.We will also disclose your personally identifiable information if we are required to do so by law, regulation (including a chargeback dispute process) or other government authority, or otherwise in cooperation with a bona-fide investigation of a governmental or other public authority, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or to protect the safety of visitors to our Site(s) and our Services. We will not sell your personally identifiable information to any company or organization. If this practice should change in the future we will update this privacy policy to identify those non-agent third parties and illustrate how individuals can exercise opt-in or opt-out choice, as applicable. We may transfer your personally identifiable information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which Vindicia participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Vindicia’s assets to which the Site(s) and/or Services relate.

We ask you not to share your password with anyone. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Site or portions of it using your user name, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. There are similar security dependencies for clients of our Service and we refer you to the appropriate section of our SSAE No. 16 for more information. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, as described above, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site(s) and/or Service(s). Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site(s) and/or Service(s).
