In order to use most aspects of the Services, Users must register for and maintain an active personal User Services Account (“Account”). User must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than 18), to obtain an Account.

User represents and warrants that all required registration information that it submits is truthful and accurate. User agrees to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in its Account. A User’s failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired credit card on file, may result in Users’ inability to access and use the Services or Vendortap ‘s termination of this Agreement with User. User is responsible for all activity that occurs under Account, and, as such, User agrees to maintain the security and secrecy of Account username and password at all times. User agrees to immediately notify Vendortap of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of its Account or any other breach of security. Unless otherwise permitted by Vendortap in writing, the User may only possess one Account.

Any User Content provided by User remains the property of the User. However, by providing User Content to Vendortap, User grants Vendortap a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Vendortap ‘s business and on third- party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from User, and without the requirement of payment to User or any other person or entity. User represents and warrants that: (i) User either is the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or that User has all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Vendortap the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Vendortap ‘s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Vendortap may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Vendortap ‘s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
Payment
The client understands that the use of the Services may result in payments by the Client for the services you receive from a Service Provider (“Charges”). After Client has received services obtained through use of the Service, Vendortap will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Service Provider, acting as Service Provider’s limited payment collection agent, using the preferred payment method designated in Client Account, and will send Client a receipt by email. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by Client to the Service Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by Client are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by Vendortap. All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Vendortap using the preferred payment method designated in the Client Account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, the Client agrees that Vendortap may, as the Service Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in the Client Account, if available. Vendortap reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all aspects of the Services at any time in Vendortap ‘s sole discretion. Further, the Client acknowledges and agrees that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand for the Services. Vendortap will use reasonable efforts to inform Client of Charges that may apply, provided that Client will be responsible for Charges incurred under Client Account regardless of Clients’ awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Vendortap may from time to time provide certain Client with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different Charges for the same or similar Services, and Client agrees that such promotional offers and discounts unless also made available to Client, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to Client. The client may elect to cancel a request for Services from a Service Provider at any time prior to such Service Provider’s arrival, in which case the Client may be charged a cancellation fee. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Service Provider for the services provided. Except with respect to Jobs requested through the Application, Vendortap does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Service Provider. Any representation by Vendortap (on Vendortap ‘s website, in the Application, or in Vendortap ‘s marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” and/or “included” in the payments Client makes for services provided is not intended to suggest that Vendortap provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Service Provider. Client understands and agrees that, while Client is free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Service Provider who provides Client with services obtained through the Service, Client is under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After the Client has received services obtained through the Service, the Client will have the opportunity to rate experience and leave additional feedback about Service Provider. In the event Client feels unwelcome pressure to provide a gratuity, Client may factor that experience into the rating or additional feedback you give. Payments for services rendered through our platform must be processed using the payment processing system provided by Vendortap. No cash payments or payments made outside of the Vendortap platform will be accepted. Any user found to be accepting cash payments or payments outside of the Vendortap platform will have their account blocked. By using our platform, users agree to comply with this policy.

Location Information. When you use the Platform, we may collect general location information (such as IP address). If you install our mobile app, we may ask you to grant us access to your mobile device’s geolocation data. If you grant such permission, we may collect information about your precise geolocation, and we may use that information to improve the Platform, including providing you with location-based features (e.g. for identification of Pro Services available near you). To deliver customized content and advertising, we may share your location information with our agents, vendors, or advertisers. If you access the Platform through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this.

7.2 We obtain information about you from public databases and ID verification partners for purposes of verifying your identity. ID verification partners use a combination of government records and publicly available information about you to verify your identity. Such information may include your name, address, job role, public employment profile, credit history, status on any sanctions lists maintained by public authorities, and other relevant data. The legal basis for such processing is to comply with our legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering laws.

7.3 Once we obtain such information from third parties, we do not subsequently share it with any other third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. This information is shared with our processors and the corporate group as necessary to perform our services.
Collection & use of information collected automatically
8.1 We receive and store certain types of information automatically, such as whenever you interact with our website, our apps, or use our services. This information does not necessarily reveal your identity directly but may include information about the specific device you are using, such as the hardware model, device ID, operating system version, web-browser software (such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Internet Explorer), and your Internet Protocol (IP) address/MAC address/device identifier.

How we protect & store personal information
9.1 We understand how important your privacy is, which is why we maintain (and require our service providers to maintain) appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information you entrust to us.
9.2 We may store and process all or part of your personal and transactional information, in the U.S., the E.E.A., and elsewhere in the world where our facilities or our service providers are located. We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
9.3 For example, we use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
9.4 However, we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own personal information. When registering with our services, it is important to choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, to not reveal this password to any third parties, and to immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
9.5 Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of the information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us at the email address or mailing address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy.
How we share personal information with other parties
10.1 We take care to allow your personal information to be accessed only by those who really need to in order to perform their tasks and duties and to share with third parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We will never sell or rent your personal information. We will only share your data in the following circumstances:
(a) We share your information with third-party identity verification services in order to prevent fraud. This allows us to confirm your identity by comparing the information you provide us to public records and other third-party databases.
(b) We may share your information with companies or other entities that we plan to merge with or be acquired by. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity or new owners follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. You will receive prior notice of any change in applicable policies.
(c) We may share your information with any third parties where required to do so by applicable law or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction; or we believe in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of the General Terms and Conditions for Vendortap End Users and any other applicable policies.
(d) We may share your information with other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.
How you access or change your personal information
11.1 You are entitled to review, correct, or amend your personal information, or to delete that information where it is inaccurate. You may do this at any time by contacting us at the email address or mailing address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy. This right shall only be limited where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated.
11.2 If you close your Vendortap Account, we will mark your account in our database as “Closed,” but will keep your account information in our database for a period of time as determined by applicable law, in particular, anti-money laundering laws. This is necessary in order to deter fraud, by ensuring that persons who try to commit fraud will not be able to avoid detection simply by closing their account and opening a new account. However, if you close your account, your personal information will not be used by us for any further purposes, nor sold or shared with third parties, except as necessary to prevent fraud and assist law enforcement, as required by law, or in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Rights in relation to the use of your personal information
12.1 You have the right to:
(a) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
(b) Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
(c) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
(d) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
(e) Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
(f) Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
(g) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. Such withdrawal does not affect the legality of the operations for the processing of your personal data prior to it.
12.2 No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
12.3 What we may need from you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
12.4 Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Retention of personal information
13.1 We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes of our business relationship with you, to perform our contractual obligations to you, or if longer, as required for legal and regulatory purposes.
13.2 We have established internal policies for the deletion of data from customer accounts following the termination of a customer’s subscription to the service.
International transfers of personal information
14.1 Vendortap is based in the United States (but may partner with companies within the EEA, or have users in the EEA), our service providers may store, transfer, and otherwise process your personal information in countries outside of the country of your residence, including the United States, and possibly other countries. We require that any third party located outside the EEA agree to at least the same level of privacy safeguards as required under applicable data protection laws in the EEA.
14.2 If you have a complaint about our privacy practices and our collection, use or disclosure of personal information please contact us at [email protected].
Children’s personal information
15.1 We do not knowingly request to collect personal information from any person under the age of 18. If a user submitting personal information is suspected of being younger than 18 years of age, we will require the user to close their account and will not allow the user to continue using our services. Please notify us if you know of any individuals under the age of 18 using our services so we can take action to prevent access to our services.
Changes to this privacy policy
16.1 We may periodically post changes to this Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to visit this page often. When required by law, we will notify you of any changes to this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on our website or mobile applications prior to the change becoming effective.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any given time to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with legal and regulatory guidelines. The updated Privacy Policy will be made available on the Vendortap app and website, and we will update the “Last updated” date accordingly.

In order to use most aspects of the Services, Users must register for and maintain an active personal User Services Account (“Account”). User must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than 18), to obtain an Account. Account registration requires the User to submit to Vendortap certain personal information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number, and age, as well as at least one valid credit card and/or bank account. User represents and warrants that all required registration information that it submits is truthful and accurate. User agrees to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in its Account. A User’s failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired credit card on file, may result in Users’ inability to access and use the Services or Vendortap ‘s termination of this Agreement with User. User is responsible for all activity that occurs under Account, and, as such, User agrees to maintain the security and secrecy of Account username and password at all times. User agrees to immediately notify Vendortap of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of its Account or any other breach of security. Unless otherwise permitted by Vendortap in writing, the User may only possess one Account.

Vendortap may, in Vendortap ‘s sole discretion, permit User from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Vendortap through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of Job requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by User remains the property of the User. However, by providing User Content to Vendortap, User grants Vendortap a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Vendortap ‘s business and on third- party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from User, and without the requirement of payment to User or any other person or entity. User represents and warrants that: (i) User either is the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or that User has all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Vendortap the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Vendortap ‘s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Vendortap may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Vendortap ‘s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.
Payment
The client understands that the use of the Services may result in payments by the Client for the services you receive from a Service Provider (“Charges”). After Client has received services obtained through use of the Service, Vendortap will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Service Provider, acting as Service Provider’s limited payment collection agent, using the preferred payment method designated in Client Account, and will send Client a receipt by email. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by Client to the Service Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by Client are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by Vendortap. All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Vendortap using the preferred payment method designated in the Client Account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, the Client agrees that Vendortap may, as the Service Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in the Client Account, if available. Vendortap reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all aspects of the Services at any time in Vendortap ‘s sole discretion. Further, the Client acknowledges and agrees that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand for the Services. Vendortap will use reasonable efforts to inform Client of Charges that may apply, provided that Client will be responsible for Charges incurred under Client Account regardless of Clients’ awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Vendortap may from time to time provide certain Client with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different Charges for the same or similar Services, and Client agrees that such promotional offers and discounts unless also made available to Client, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to Client. The client may elect to cancel a request for Services from a Service Provider at any time prior to such Service Provider’s arrival, in which case the Client may be charged a cancellation fee. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Service Provider for the services provided. Except with respect to Jobs requested through the Application, Vendortap does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Service Provider. Any representation by Vendortap (on Vendortap ‘s website, in the Application, or in Vendortap ‘s marketing materials) to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” and/or “included” in the payments Client makes for services provided is not intended to suggest that Vendortap provides any additional amounts, beyond those described above, to the Service Provider. Client understands and agrees that, while Client is free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Service Provider who provides Client with services obtained through the Service, Client is under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After the Client has received services obtained through the Service, the Client will have the opportunity to rate experience and leave additional feedback about Service Provider. In the event Client feels unwelcome pressure to provide a gratuity, Client may factor that experience into the rating or additional feedback you give. Payments for services rendered through our platform must be processed using the payment processing system provided by Vendortap. No cash payments or payments made outside of the Vendortap platform will be accepted. Any user found to be accepting cash payments or payments outside of the Vendortap platform will have their account blocked. By using our platform, users agree to comply with this policy.

Information That is Passively or Automatically Collected
Device/Usage Information. We and our third-party service providers, which include ad networks and analytics companies including DoubleClick and Google Analytics, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Platform. As described further below, we may collect and analyze information including but not limited to (a) browser type; (b) ISP or operating system; (c) domain name; (d) access time; (e) referring or exit pages; (f) page views; (g) IP address; (h) unique device identifiers (e.g. IDFA or Android ID); and (i) the type of device that you use. We may also track and record when and how frequently you access or use the Platform, or how you browse the Platform. We use this information (including the information collected by our third-party service providers) for Platform analytics (including to determine which portions of the Platform are used most frequently and what our users like/do not like), to assist in determining relevant advertising (both on and off the Platform), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, and as otherwise described in this Policy.
Location Information. When you use the Platform, we may collect general location information (such as IP address). If you install our mobile app, we may ask you to grant us access to your mobile device’s geolocation data. If you grant such permission, we may collect information about your precise geolocation, and we may use that information to improve the Platform, including providing you with location-based features (e.g. for identification of Pro Services available near you). To deliver customized content and advertising, we may share your location information with our agents, vendors, or advertisers. If you access the Platform through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this. See your device manufacturer’s instructions for further details. If you disable certain functions, you may be unable to use certain parts of the Platform.
Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies. We and our third-party service providers may use cookies, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies that help us better understand user behavior, personalize preferences, perform research and analytics, and improve the Platform. These technologies, for example, may allow us to tailor the Platform to your needs, save your password in password-protected areas, track the pages you visit, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Platform usage. We also use certain of these technologies to deliver advertisements through the Platform that may interest you. We or our third-party service providers also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our customers to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
We may also use local shared objects (also known as “Flash cookies”) to assist in delivering special content, such as video clips or animation. Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are not managed through your web browser. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Platform, because it may not function properly. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not affect flash cookies. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

5.3 In addition, we may collect personal information disclosed by you on our message boards, chat features, blogs, and our other services to which you are able to post information and materials.

You may opt-out of having your personal information shared with third parties, or allowing us to use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes for which we originally collected it or subsequently obtained your authorization. If you choose to so limit the use of your personal information, certain features or our services may not be available to you.
6.3 You agree that Vendortap may contact you by telephone or SMS messages (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf in connection with a Vendortap account, including for marketing purposes and transactional/notifications. You acknowledge that message and data rates may apply. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services from Vendortap. You also understand that you may opt-out of receiving SMS messages from Vendortap at any time, by texting the word “STOP” to the number you receive the SMS messages from.
Information from third party
7.1 From time to time, we may obtain information about you from third party sources as permitted by applicable law, such as public databases and ID verification partners.
7.2 We obtain information about you from public databases and ID verification partners for purposes of verifying your identity. ID verification partners use a combination of government records and publicly available information about you to verify your identity. Such information may include your name, address, job role, public employment profile, credit history, status on any sanctions lists maintained by public authorities, and other relevant data. The legal basis for such processing is to comply with our legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering laws. In some cases, we may process additional data about you based on public interest grounds to ensure our services are not used fraudulently or for other illicit activities and the protection of all parties involved in providing services.
7.3 Once we obtain such information from third parties, we do not subsequently share it with any other third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. This information is shared with our processors and the corporate group as necessary to perform our services.
Collection & use of information collected automatically
8.1 We receive and store certain types of information automatically, such as whenever you interact with our website, our apps, or use our services. This information does not necessarily reveal your identity directly but may include information about the specific device you are using, such as the hardware model, device ID, operating system version, web-browser software (such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Internet Explorer), and your Internet Protocol (IP) address/MAC address/device identifier.
8.2 For example, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including how you came to and used our services; your IP address; device type and unique device identification numbers, device event information (such as crashes, system activity, and hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL), broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical data collected through cookies, pixel tags and other similar technologies that uniquely identify your browser. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our website, including pages accessed and links clicked. We may use identifiers to recognize you when you arrive at our website via an external link, such as a link appearing on a third-party site.
8.3 You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
8.4 Information collected by cookies will be used to improve our services by knowing for example which features or services are most popular for users and based on such information we can make the Services more interesting to more users.
How we protect & store personal information
9.1 We understand how important your privacy is, which is why we maintain (and require our service providers to maintain) appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information you entrust to us.
9.2 We may store and process all or part of your personal and transactional information, in the U.S., the E.E.A., and elsewhere in the world where our facilities or our service providers are located. We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
9.3 For example, we use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
9.4 However, we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own personal information. When registering with our services, it is important to choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, to not reveal this password to any third parties, and to immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
9.5 Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of the information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us at the email address or mailing address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy.
How we share personal information with other parties
10.1 We take care to allow your personal information to be accessed only by those who really need to in order to perform their tasks and duties and to share with third parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We will never sell or rent your personal information. We will only share your data in the following circumstances:
(a) We share your information with third-party identity verification services in order to prevent fraud. This allows us to confirm your identity by comparing the information you provide us to public records and other third-party databases.
(b) We may share your information with companies or other entities that we plan to merge with or be acquired by. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity or new owners follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. You will receive prior notice of any change in applicable policies.
(c) We may share your information with any third parties where required to do so by applicable law or any court or other authority to which we are subject in any jurisdiction; or we believe in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of the General Terms and Conditions for Vendortap End Users and any other applicable policies.
(d) We may share your information with other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.
How you access or change your personal information
11.1 You are entitled to review, correct, or amend your personal information, or to delete that information where it is inaccurate. You may do this at any time by contacting us at the email address or mailing address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy. This right shall only be limited where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated.
11.2 If you close your Vendortap Account, we will mark your account in our database as “Closed,” but will keep your account information in our database for a period of time as determined by applicable law, in particular, anti-money laundering laws. This is necessary in order to deter fraud, by ensuring that persons who try to commit fraud will not be able to avoid detection simply by closing their account and opening a new account. However, if you close your account, your personal information will not be used by us for any further purposes, nor sold or shared with third parties, except as necessary to prevent fraud and assist law enforcement, as required by law, or in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Rights in relation to the use of your personal information
12.1 You have the right to:
(a) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
(b) Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
(c) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
(d) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
(e) Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
(f) Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
(g) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. Such withdrawal does not affect the legality of the operations for the processing of your personal data prior to it.
12.2 No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
12.3 What we may need from you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
12.4 Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Retention of personal information
13.1 We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes of our business relationship with you, to perform our contractual obligations to you, or if longer, as required for legal and regulatory purposes.
13.2 We have established internal policies for the deletion of data from customer accounts following the termination of a customer’s subscription to the service.
International transfers of personal information
14.1 Vendortap is based in the United States (but may partner with companies within the EEA, or have users in the EEA), our service providers may store, transfer, and otherwise process your personal information in countries outside of the country of your residence, including the United States, and possibly other countries. We require that any third party located outside the EEA agree to at least the same level of privacy safeguards as required under applicable data protection laws in the EEA.
14.2 If you have a complaint about our privacy practices and our collection, use or disclosure of personal information please contact us at [email protected].
Children’s personal information
15.1 We do not knowingly request to collect personal information from any person under the age of 18. If a user submitting personal information is suspected of being younger than 18 years of age, we will require the user to close their account and will not allow the user to continue using our services. Please notify us if you know of any individuals under the age of 18 using our services so we can take action to prevent access to our services.
Changes to this privacy policy
16.1 We may periodically post changes to this Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to visit this page often. When required by law, we will notify you of any changes to this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on our website or mobile applications prior to the change becoming effective.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any given time to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with legal and regulatory guidelines. The updated Privacy Policy will be made available on the Vendortap app and website, and we will update the “Last updated” date accordingly.
