Where applicable law requires your consent before we send direct marketing communications, we will obtain that consent before doing so.
You may opt out of receiving direct marketing communications at any time by contacting us or by using an unsubscribe mechanism provided in the relevant communication.
Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending you non-marketing communications that are necessary for the administration of your relationship with us or that we are legally required to provide.
7. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or another similar data protection law applies, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:
7.1 Performance of a Contract
We may process personal information where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
7.2 Legitimate Interests
We may process personal information where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Our legitimate interests may include:
- responding to enquiries;
- managing and developing our business;
- maintaining business records;
- communicating with clients and prospective clients;
- protecting our systems and information;
- preventing fraud and misuse;
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; and,
- ensuring the effective operation and security of our website and services.
7.3 Legal Obligations
We may process personal information where necessary to comply with a legal, regulatory, professional or other statutory obligation.
7.4 Consent
Where required by applicable law, we may rely on your consent to process personal information for a particular purpose.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
7.5 Vital Interests
In limited circumstances, we may process personal information where necessary to protect someone's vital interests.
8. Special Categories of Personal Information
Depending upon the nature of communications or files submitted to us, we may receive information that falls within special categories of personal data under the GDPR or sensitive personal information under other applicable laws.
We do not generally request such information through our website unless it is relevant to the services or enquiry concerned.
Where we receive such information, we will process it only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, on the basis of an appropriate additional legal condition.
9. Information We Do Not Sell or Supply to Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, lease, trade or otherwise monetise personal information.
We do not supply personal information to third parties for their own marketing, advertising or commercial purposes.
We also do not provide personal information to third-party data brokers or similar organisations.
Personal information collected through our website is used by the Company for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
10. Third-Party Processing
At no point do we intentionally arrange for personal information collected through our website to be processed by a third party acting as a processor on our behalf.
We do not outsource the processing of personal information to third-party data processing companies.
However, nothing in this section prevents us from disclosing or transferring information where we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or other lawful process.
Similarly, if the Company undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets or similar corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by applicable law and subject to appropriate safeguards.
11. Disclosure Required by Law
We may disclose personal information where we reasonably believe that such disclosure is:
- required by law;
- required by a court, tribunal or other judicial authority;
- required by a governmental or regulatory authority;
- necessary to comply with a legal process;
- necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Company, our clients or other individuals; or,
- necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where legally permitted, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that any disclosure is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
12. International Data Transfers
The Company is incorporated in Delaware, United States of America, and provides services to clients internationally.
Personal information collected through our website is stored on systems located in Germany and Cyprus.
Germany and Cyprus are both members of the European Union and are subject to the GDPR.
Where personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction to a jurisdiction that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection, we will ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable data protection law and using an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where required.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- an adequacy decision;
- standard contractual clauses;
- an applicable derogation; or,
- another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable law.
13. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:
- accidental or unlawful destruction;
- accidental loss;
- alteration;
- unauthorised disclosure;
- unauthorised access; and,
- other unlawful or unauthorised forms of processing.
Personal information collected through our website is stored on systems located in Germany and Cyprus.
Access to personal information is restricted to authorised personnel who require access for legitimate business, administrative, legal or operational purposes.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable measures to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal data breach that is subject to a notification requirement under applicable law, we will take the steps required by that law.
14. File Security
Files uploaded through our website may contain confidential or sensitive information.
We take reasonable measures to protect uploaded files against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
You should nevertheless ensure that files uploaded through the website are transmitted using an appropriate and secure connection and that you do not upload information that you are not authorised to disclose.
You should also maintain your own copies of important documents after uploading them to us.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the specific retention period described below.
Unless a longer period is required by law or is otherwise justified by a legitimate legal or business requirement, personal information that we have collected and that has not been made use of will be retained for six (6) years from the date on which it was last used.
For the purposes of this policy, "use" includes a substantive use of the information for a legitimate business, contractual, legal, administrative or service-related purpose.
Each substantive use of personal information resets the six-year retention period.
Accordingly, where personal information continues to be actively used for a legitimate purpose, the six-year retention period will run from the date of its most recent use.
When the applicable six-year retention period expires, and the personal information is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we will securely delete, destroy or otherwise irreversibly anonymise the information.
We may retain information for longer where this is necessary:
- to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation;
- to comply with professional record-keeping requirements;
- to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
- to resolve disputes;
- to enforce contractual rights; or,
- where otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
Where information is retained beyond the standard six-year period for one of these reasons, it will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
16. Your Rights
Depending on your location and the applicable data protection laws, you may have rights in relation to your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
- request deletion of your personal information;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- request portability of certain personal information;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and,
- lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection or supervisory authority.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations or exemptions.
For example, we may be entitled or required to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
17. Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any applicable privacy or data protection right, or if you have a question about how we process your personal information, please contact us at:
Email: compliance@vergento.com
We may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
We will normally respond to valid requests within the time period required by applicable law.
If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction that provides a right to complain to a data protection authority, you may also contact the relevant supervisory authority if you believe that your personal information has been processed unlawfully.
18. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent or authorisation, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.
19. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites. You should review the privacy policies applicable to those websites before providing them with personal information.
20. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by a separate Cookie Policy.
The Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, the purposes for which they are used, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
The Cookie Policy forms a separate document from this Privacy Policy.
