Privacy Policy

How VECTARYS approaches the collection, use, protection and retention of personal information.

VECTARYS respects the privacy of individuals who interact with its website and communications. This Privacy Policy explains the general principles governing the handling of personal information associated with the VECTARYS website.

This policy should be read together with the VECTARYS Terms of Use and other applicable legal and compliance documents.

01 — SCOPE

Privacy by design.

Privacy is treated as part of responsible digital infrastructure rather than as an afterthought.

This policy applies to personal information that may be collected when you visit the VECTARYS website, contact VECTARYS, request information, propose a collaboration or otherwise interact with the website.

The website is primarily intended for professional and informational purposes. VECTARYS does not seek to collect more personal information than reasonably necessary for these purposes.

02 — PRIVACY
01

Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with VECTARYS, information may include your name, professional contact details, company or organization, professional role and information that you voluntarily provide when communicating with us.

Technical information may also be processed automatically when you access the website, depending on the technical configuration and services used by the website.

02

Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you contact VECTARYS by email or another available communication channel, you may provide information such as your identity, professional contact details, organization, area of expertise, project information or the nature of your request.

You should provide only information that is reasonably necessary for the purpose of the communication.

03

Automatically Collected Information

Like many websites, VECTARYS may process limited technical information associated with website access, such as browser type, device characteristics, approximate geographic information, referring pages, timestamps and technical logs.

Such information may be used to maintain security, diagnose technical problems, understand website performance and improve the reliability of the website.

04

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The VECTARYS website may use cookies or similar technologies where technically necessary or where required to provide specific functionality.

Where applicable, additional information concerning cookies and related technologies will be provided through the website or an appropriate notice.

VECTARYS aims to avoid unnecessary tracking and to limit the use of technologies that are not required for legitimate website purposes.

05

How We Use Information

Personal information may be used to respond to inquiries, communicate with individuals or organizations, evaluate potential collaborations, provide requested information and manage legitimate business relationships.

Technical information may be used for website security, maintenance, diagnostics, performance monitoring and service improvement.

06

Legal and Legitimate Purposes

VECTARYS processes personal information only for legitimate and appropriate purposes, including responding to requests, operating its website, protecting its systems, meeting applicable legal obligations and pursuing legitimate business interests where permitted by applicable law.

Where consent is required by applicable law, VECTARYS will seek consent before undertaking the relevant processing activity.

07

Data Minimization

VECTARYS seeks to limit the collection and use of personal information to what is reasonably relevant to the purpose for which it is processed.

We do not seek to build unnecessary personal profiles of website visitors or collect information that has no legitimate operational purpose.

08

Information Sharing

VECTARYS does not sell personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with service providers, technology providers or professional advisers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide services, maintain infrastructure, protect systems or fulfil legitimate business and legal requirements.

Where appropriate, VECTARYS seeks to ensure that third parties handling information on its behalf maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

09

International Processing

VECTARYS operates in an international environment. Depending on the infrastructure and service providers involved, personal information may therefore be processed or stored in jurisdictions outside the country from which an individual accesses the website.

Where applicable, VECTARYS seeks to use appropriate safeguards for international transfers in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

10

Data Security

VECTARYS takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

Security measures may include access controls, appropriate authentication, infrastructure security, monitoring and other safeguards proportionate to the nature of the information and the associated risks.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain legitimate business records, to comply with legal obligations or to resolve disputes.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the nature of the information and the context in which it was collected.

12

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or objection to certain processing activities.

Additional rights may apply under the laws governing the relevant processing activity.

13

Exercising Privacy Rights

Requests concerning personal information may be submitted to VECTARYS using the contact details provided on this website.

To protect individuals against unauthorized requests, VECTARYS may need to verify the identity or authority of the person making a request before providing access to personal information or making changes.

14

Communications

If you contact VECTARYS, we may retain the communication and associated contact information for the purpose of responding to your request, maintaining appropriate records and managing subsequent professional discussions.

We do not use professional contact information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate basis.

15

Third-Party Websites

The VECTARYS website may contain links to external websites, services or platforms operated by third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of those third parties. Visitors should review the privacy policies applicable to external services before providing personal information.

16

Children

The VECTARYS website is intended primarily for professional and business audiences and is not directed toward children.

VECTARYS does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website.

17

Confidential and Sensitive Information

Website visitors should avoid submitting confidential, proprietary, classified or highly sensitive information through general contact channels unless appropriate confidentiality and security arrangements have first been established.

The transmission of information through ordinary internet communications may involve security risks outside the direct control of VECTARYS.

18

Changes to This Policy

VECTARYS may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in its activities, technologies, services, legal requirements or privacy practices.

The updated version will be published on this page. Visitors are encouraged to review the policy periodically.
