2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use the information collected for purposes such as:

  • to provide technical support including the detection, prevention, and resolution of security and technical issues;
  • to respond to customer support requests; 
  • otherwise to fulfill the obligations under the Terms of Service
  • improve your experience and improve the Services;
  • send information to you which we think may be of interest to you by post, email, or other means and send you marketing communications relating to our business;
  • promote the use of our Services to you and share promotional and information content with you;

We may combine all the information we collect from or receive about you for any of the foregoing purposes. Please see Your Rights and Choices section for further information.

 

We may aggregate or de-identify your information and may use, share, rent or sell aggregated or de-identified information for any purpose and such information is not subject to this Privacy Policy. We will never sell your personal information to any third party except in the case of Sale or Transfer of all or Part of our Business or Assets (see below).

 

Credit Card and Sensitive Information:

When you enter sensitive information, such as credit card information, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). Other information that you send via standard email will not be subjected to this high level of encryption, so we advise you accordingly that you should never submit sensitive personal information such as credit card numbers and so forth via standard email to us.

 

We maintain your credit card related information once your purchase has been verified and processed via your credit card service provider for future usage, within a secured system. In the event of a chargeback, the credit card service provider will provide us with such information for the purpose of our evaluation of the chargeback request, including any protestations and or feedback issued by our company if we determine fraud has taken place. In the event of credit card fraud and similar defaulted payments, the credit card related information will be used for collection-related purposes.

As noted above, we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at support@vaforhire.com

 

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your information with:

  • Service providers that perform certain business-related functions on our behalf: including website hosting, transaction fulfillment, payment processing, fraud prevention, technology services, and platforms, and identity management.
  • Law Enforcement Agencies, Regulators, Content Protection Organizations, Anti-fraud Coalitions, and other groups to:
  • protect our legal rights, privacy or safety, and that of our employees, agents, contractors, or other individuals;

  • respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory, law enforcement, or public authorities;
  • permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages that we may sustain;
  • comply with the law including with subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, and other legal processes; or enforce applicable terms of service.
  • In the event that VA for Hire is involved in a merger, acquisition, transfer of control, bankruptcy, reorganization or sale of assets, or diligence associated with such matters, we may sell or transfer the information described in this Privacy Policy as part of that transaction.

VA for Hire is liable under Privacy Shield if determined it is responsible for a third party agent processing such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the principles of Privacy Shield.

VA for Hire will have no liability for disclosure of Registration Data due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

7. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION/ HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We maintain procedural, technical, and physical safeguards for the Services to help protect against the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information you provide via the Services. These safeguards vary depending upon the sensitivity of the information we collect and store. Please be aware that no security solutions are infallible.

We will keep your information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes described above unless longer retention is required or permitted by law, after which we will delete or anonymize it. The period we keep your information will vary depending on your interactions with the Services. 

 

For example, depending on the type of Services you use, we may retain your account data for a reasonable period of time after your last activity or after you stop paying for the relevant services. This is to enable you to easily come back and start using the service again. We may also keep a record of correspondence with you relating to the Services you use, for example, if you have made a complaint, for as long as is necessary to protect us from a legal claim. Similarly, when you unsubscribe from our email newsletters or promotional emails, we will keep a record of your email address to ensure we do not send you marketing emails in the future.
