In addition to the information you provide, Valogix may also collect information during your visit to a Valogix website through automated tools, which include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at an Valogix website.

Cookies, Clear Gifs & Log Files

We monitor site traffic patterns and site usage to better understand our customers and markets and improve the layout and design of the Website, and for other legitimate business purposes. In connection with monitoring site activities we may use cookies (a piece of data stored on a user’s computer relating to information about the user) or clear gifs (tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of a user). We may also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients.

Special Offers & Updates

We send all new customers a welcoming email and our letter via U.S. Mail to verify password and username, and emails confirming orders. Established customers may occasionally receive information on products, services, and special deals, and/or a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the “Opting-Out” and Updating Information section below. 

Embedded Web Links

Emails from Valogix often use links designed to lead you to a relevant area on the Web, after redirection through Valogix servers. The redirection system allows Valogix to change the destination URL of these links, if necessary, and to determine the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives. 

In emails, such links may also allow Valogix to determine if you have clicked on a link in the email, and the information about this interaction may be connected to your personal identity. If you do not want Valogix to collect information about the links you clicked, you can simply choose not to click on the links in an e-mail that Valogix sends you.

E-mail Addresses

 If you choose to give us your e-mail address, we will communicate with you via e-mail. We do not share your e-mail address with others outside the Valogix Group of companies. You can choose not to receive any more e-mail at any time. 

Depending on how your e-mail application is set up, information about you may be transmitted automatically when you send e-mail to Valogix. 

If you choose to register for third-party services, we may need to send some information from your Valogix.com registration to the service provider, possibly including your e-mail address.

Shopping or Event Registration

Our site includes order forms that you fill out to request information on products and services. Supplying this information is strictly voluntary. The information is used to provide you with a more personalized shopping experience, including future recommendations and promotions that may be of special interest to you. You may opt out of receiving this enhanced information if you so choose. Please see the “Opting-Out” and Updating Information section below.

Sharing Your Personal Data

Though we make reasonable efforts to preserve user privacy, we may disclose personal information under the following circumstances. 

Legal Requirements. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe that it is required by law or legal process and to protect and defend the rights and interests of Valogix, its affiliates, suppliers, and/or users. 

Third Party Intermediaries. We may also share such information with business partners, service vendors, authorized third-party agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction, including processing orders, processing credit card transactions, hosting websites, hosting event and seminar registration and providing customer support, or providing you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you. 

We only provide these third parties with the minimum amount of personal data necessary to provide the services on our behalf, and the third parties are not permitted to use your personal data except for the limited purpose of completing the requested service or transaction. 

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes unless you have granted us permission to do so. 

Business Transitions. In the event Valogix goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. 

Affiliates. Valogix may share information with its subsidiaries and its affiliates. 

We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process by disclosing your personal data and other related information, if necessary. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. 

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Valogix decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve, in accordance with applicable law, the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is Valogix practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions. 

We may collect and possibly share personal data and any other additional information available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Valogix terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. 

While visiting Valogix website you may be directed to content or functionality that is hosted by a third-party supplier, not on Valogix.com. Most often, this is done to host special events, such as contests or seminars. When information is collected on behalf of VALOGIX exclusively, the appropriate Valogix entity’s privacy statement will be referenced on the site and will govern how information is used. For other, non-Valogix sites, the site’s owner’s privacy policy will be referenced. It is Valogix practice to require such suppliers and business partners to handle information in a manner consistent with Valogix privacy statement.

Security of Your Personal Data

Valogix is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. Valogix uses a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Valogix supports online security using secure server technology because we want your data to be safe. There are state-of-the-art security arrangements and facilities on Valogix sites to prevent abuse. 

We bind our employees to observe your privacy and confidentiality rights.

Links to Other Sites

This site may contain links to other sites. Valogix is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites outside Valogix.

Choice/Opt-Out (Unsubscribe)

We communicate with users who subscribe to our services on a regular basis via email, and we may also communicate by phone to resolve customer complaints or investigate suspicious transactions. We may use your email address to confirm your opening of an account, to send you notice of payments, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

Valogix provides you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out or unsubscribe choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us such as emails or updates from us regarding new services and products offered on this website or if you do not want us to share your personal information with third parties.

Data Retention

Valogix will not retain your personal data longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations. 

Children’s Policy

Valogix does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data on a child under the age of 18, we will delete that data from our systems.
