Cookies, Online Tracking, and Similar Technology

To make our websites and applications work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small individualized text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size and other display preferences) over time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Our services also contain cookie technology from third party analytics providers such as Google Analytics, through which such providers collect information about your online activities across our websites to help us compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of marketing campaigns or other business operations. We use the data gathered by the cookies to assist us in the following methods:

  • Improve your browsing experience
  • Customizing our interactions with you
  • Storing and managing your preferences and settings
  • Compiling statistical data
  • Analyzing the performance and usability of our services
  • Measuring website traffic patterns
  • Determining which areas of our websites have been visited

The third-party analytics engines on our web sites transfer data about your utilization of our website, user agent, etc., to those third-party providers.

Your Choices Around These Technologies

You can manage the use of cookies on your computer using controls in your browser. To learn more about how to manage cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work. There are also opt-out sites and applications for mobile devices which can help you manage cookies. Visit http://optout.networkadvertising.org for both browser options and your mobile device options. You can also visit http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected by the use of our services, but our services do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals or other similar tracking mechanisms unrelated to cookies. You may opt out of all marketing from us by reaching out to privacy@vanbo.tech

Data Security and Integrity

We take precautions to protect your information both online and offline, with a variety of physical, administrative and technical safeguards which are in place. Wherever we collect information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way, as well as being encrypted for as long as we retain the information. You can verify this by looking for the closed lock in your browser (usually found in the address bar). You can also see the “https” at the beginning of the web address. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

Accountability for Onward Transfers

We will not transfer your personal data to any third parties without notifying you via written contact and ensured that they have at least the same level of privacy protection as we employ. We will only transfer data to our agents, subsidiaries or third-party service providers to provide services to you or perform activities on VanBo’s behalf and only for a purpose which is consistent with this notice.

If you are a resident of any country in the European Union, your data may be stored in the US, using appropriate data transfer mechanisms based upon the Privacy Shield Principles.

How You Can Access Your Data / Individual Rights

We are subject to a variety of different laws which may provide you rights to your personal data. For example, for EU data, transferred to the United States pursuant to Privacy Shield, the Privacy Shield Principles provide for the right to access your personal data, including limiting its use and disclosure.

There are additional rights under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation which may apply to you. If you wish to correct, update, block, or delete personal data which we maintain, please let us know by sending an email to privacy@vanbo.tech.

We will respond to your request without undue delay, but not longer than 30 days from the date of your request. We may ask you to verify your identity before we can process your request, and if your request is denied we will explain why in a written response.

Links to third party websites

Our websites may contain links to sites and/or applications operated by third parties. We make no representations or warranties in relation to the privacy practices of any third-party site or application and we are not responsible for any third-party content or privacy statements. Your use of such sites and applications is subject to the relevant third-party privacy notices.

Change of Ownership or Business Transition

Should we have any change to our business, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of our company, your personal information as we have it stored may be transferred in accordance with applicable privacy laws. In the event of a business change as described, we may disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets, subject to their entering into appropriate confidentiality undertakings (such as non-disclosure agreements) prior to the effective date of said change.
