Privacy Policy

Summary

Sorry that this Privacy Policy is long and detailed, but we appreciate and understand the sensitivity of the personal information that you provide to us. This document is intended to fully disclose to you, our user, how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information. All of your questions should be answered in this Privacy Policy, but if you have any questions please contact us at [email protected].

You control how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed. Other than is necessary to provide you with the service you expect from Vendeve (as explained in this document and when you use the Service), Vendeve gives you control over your personal information. Vendeve does not, and will not, sell or distribute your personal information without your consent. Period. That means we will NEVER sell your email address to anyone. You can always unsubscribe from our newsletter by clicking unsubscribe on the bottom right of the emails we send to you.

This summary provides important information from the full Privacy Policy and it applies to the collection and use of your Personal Information. We suggest you read the whole policy. Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy are defined in the User Agreement.

Full Policy

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the Vendeve Site at www.Vendeve.com (the “Site”). Vendeve Inc., a Nova Scotia corporation (referred to as “us” or “we”), provides the Site.

We are committed to protecting your privacy online. Please read the following to learn what information we collect from you (the “User”) and how we use that information. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please email us at [email protected].

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO ALL THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR USER AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICE.

1. Changes to Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here, on the home page, and any other place we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances (if any) that we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify our privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently.

2. Types of Information We Collect and How We Use the Information Collected

We collect two types of information about our Users:

• “Personally Identifiable Information”, which is information that identifies a specific User when you engage in certain activities on the Site, such as providing your email address. In other words, it is information about an identifiable individual, meaning that it is information that can be connected with a single individual, or can be used to identify the user either alone or in combination with other information.
• “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”, which is information that does not identify a specific End User. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to our Site, the URL of the website you visit after leaving our Site, the type of browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We, and/or our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers may automatically collect this information when you visit our Site through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described in Items 4 and 8 of this Privacy Policy.

We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, administer the Site, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content and programming.

3. How We Release Personally Identifiable Information

We will never sell, rent, or trade your Personally Identifiable Information with other parties. However, in some case we must disclose a certain amount of your personal information to other parties to effectively provide our Service to you.

Third Party Service Providers

We provide services and products through third parties. These “Third Party Service Providers” perform functions on our behalf, like sending out and distributing our administrative and promotional emails.

Accordingly, we may share your information with Authorized Third Party Service Providers in the following ways:

• to fulfill orders, deliver packages, send postal or email messages to you;
• to administer contests or sweepstakes;
• to remove repetitive information on customer lists;
• to analyze data, provide marketing assistance, or provide search results and links; and
• to process credit card payments, operate the Site, troubleshoot, provide customer service, and other administrative tasks.

Affiliates

We may also collect personal information from individuals and companies (“Affiliates”) with whom we have business relationships. For example, when you order a service, we release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for the service and, if applicable, release your address to the delivery service to deliver the service.

Likewise, we may release an Affiliate’s information to our bank to send out a payment. We encourage Vendeve Affiliates and Third Party Service Providers to adopt and post their own privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is beyond our control.

Remarketing

We may “remarket” your information. Remarketing is a way for us to connect with our Users, based upon your past interactions with the Vendeve Site. Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by Vendeve to perform remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, including Google, may show Vendeve ads on various websites on the internet.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to Vendeve’ Site. Users may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page. Information used for remarketing will not be used by third-party marketing vendors for any other purpose.

Business Transfers

We may share your information in a business transfer. As with any business, we could merge with, or be acquired by, another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the personal information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable Information. However, your Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

Legal Disclosure

We may share your information for our protection and the protection of others. We reserve the right to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information:

• as required by law;
• when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us;
• enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, our Site Terms of Use or other agreements; or,
• protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, its Users, or others.

Member Contacts

We may share your email information (as provided in your profile) with other registered members of the site when those members submit a contact form via your profile page.

4. How We Release Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We may disclose or share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Partners, Affiliates and Advertisers. For example, we may share aggregated demographic information (which does not include any Personally Identifiable Information) with “Third Party Advertising Companies” and other parties as provided below:

We use Third Party Advertising Companies to serve ads when you visit our Site. By using network tags, these companies may use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your visits to our Site and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. Some of these Third Party Advertising Companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). If you would like more information about any NAI member company, or you would like to opt-out of targeted advertising from any NAI member company, click here.

We also use Third Party Service Providers to track and analyze Non-Personally Identifiable Information usage and archive statistical information from our Users to administer our Site and constantly improve its quality. We may publish this information for promotional purposes or as a representative audience for Advertisers. Please note that this is not Personally Identifiable Information, only general summaries of the activities of our Users. Such aggregated data is collected on our behalf, and is owned and used by us.

5. You Can Update and Correct Your Personal Information

We believe that you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information you provide us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information by logging into your account and accessing the “my account” section of the site, sending us an email at [email protected] or writing to us at 1505 Barrington St,  Suite 701, Halifax, NS, B3J 3K5.

Please indicate your name, mailing address, email address, and what information you would like to update when you contact us. We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes.

You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on the Site. In addition, in may be impossible for us to completely delete all of your information because we periodically back-up Site information.

6. Your Choices About How We Collect and Use Your Information

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, although it may be required to engage in a certain activity on the Site.

As a condition of registering and/or purchasing our products and services, we will send you Administrative and Promotional emails. We will send you information regarding your account activity and purchases as well as updates about our products and promotional offers. You cannot opt-out of Administrative Emails. “Administrative Emails” relate to a User’s activity on the Site, and include emails regarding a particular User’s account, requests or inquiries, and purchases of products and services.

In contrast to Administrative Emails, however, you do have a choice with respect to Promotional Emails. Promotional Emails advertise our products and services, including exclusive sales and other offers, and/or the products and services of our Advertisers and Affiliates. If you do not want to receive Promotional Emails from us, you may elect to opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails at any time after registering by e-mailing us at [email protected], by writing to us at the address contained herein, or by hitting the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of any of our e-mails. When contacting us, please indicate your name, address, email address, and what Promotional Emails you do not want to receive.

7. Security of Information

We take security seriously and take numerous precautions to protect the security of Personally Identifiable Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies that do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Site, and are not responsible or liable for the actions of any third parties that may receive or acquire any such transmitted information.

8. Data Tracking

Cookies

To facilitate and customize your experience with the Site, we store cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a User’s computer for record-keeping purposes which contains information about that User.

We use cookies to save you time while using the Site, remind us who you are, and track and targeted User interests in order to provide a customized experience. Cookies also allow us to collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you, like which pages you visited and what links you clicked on.

Use of this information helps us to create a more user-friendly experience for all visitors. In addition, we may use Third Party Advertising Companies to display advertisements on our Site. As part of their service, they may place separate cookies on your computer. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by our Site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any Advertiser. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline cookies. Please note that if you decline or delete these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly.

Other Tracking Devices

We may use other industry standard technologies, like pixel tags and web beacons, to track your use of our Site pages and promotions. We may also allow our Third Party Service Providers to use these devices on our behalf.

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on our Site, or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a Non-Personally Identifiable notice of that action.

Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our Site. They give us a way to measure our promotions and performance. We may also utilize pixel tags and web beacons provided by our Affiliates and/or Marketing Partners for the same purposes.

9. Privacy Policies of Third Party Sites

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you on www.Vendeve.com. Other websites that may be accessible through this Site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. If you link to any such website, we urge you to carefully review the website’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third parties.

10. Miscellaneous Privacy Issues

Children

Minors under the age of 18 may not use the Site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18, and no part of the Site is designed to attract anyone under the age of 18. Vendeve does not sell products or services for purchase by children. However, in certain instances, we may sell children’s products for purchase by adults.

Public Areas

We may provide areas on our Site where you can publicly post information about yourself, communicate with others (such as discussion boards or blogs), or review products, businesses, and submit media content.

The information you share in public areas may be accessible by other consumers and companies. It may appear on other websites or web searches; therefore, this information could be read, collected, and used by others.

For example, if you post your email address along with a public restaurant review, you may receive unsolicited reply messages. We have no control over who reads your postings or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so please use caution when posting any personal information. We do obtain consent from our Users to post their name along with their reviews.
