We maintain procedures and working methods to ensure your Personal Data is handled securely. The basic principle is that only employees and persons within the organization who need access to Personal Data to perform their work duties should be able to access them.
We implement reasonable security measures, including encryption of stored and transmitted data, access control restrictions to limit data access, regular security audits and compliance checks, and employee training on data protection obligations. Despite our efforts, no system is 100% secure. In case of a data breach, we will notify users and regulatory authorities in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
We may share your Personal Data with trusted third parties for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Such third parties include service providers that assist in operating our platform, such as cloud hosting providers, payment processors, IT security firms, analytics providers, and customer support tools. Any third party that processes Personal Data on our behalf is contractually obligated to do so in accordance with GDPR and other Applicable Data Protection Laws. We ensure that appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions, are in place when transferring Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Data to any third party for marketing purposes. If required by law, we may disclose Personal Data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other parties in response to valid legal requests.
We engage carefully selected third-party data processors to process Personal Data on our behalf, solely for the purposes of providing and improving our services. These data processors include cloud storage providers, payment processors, analytics services, and customer support platforms. Each data processor is subject to a legally binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that ensures compliance with the GDPR and other Applicable Data Protection Laws. We require our data processors to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data and prohibit them from using the data for any other purpose. Where data processors are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure adequate levels of protection through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved transfer mechanisms.
The data uploaded to our Service is transferred to and stored on encrypted Amazon servers located in Frankfurt, Germany.
In certain cases, we cooperate with third-party partners who act as independent data controllers. These partners process Personal Data in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal obligations, independently determining the purposes and means of such processing. One of such partners is Stripe, our payment service provider. When you make a payment through Vetnio™, Stripe processes your payment information as an independent data controller under its own Stripe Privacy Policy. We do not have access to your full payment details, such as your credit card number, and Stripe is solely responsible for the processing of this data.
When you interact with or use services provided by these partners in connection with Vetnio™ services, their respective privacy policies will govern the processing of your Personal Data. We recommend that you review their privacy policies to understand how they collect, use, and protect your data.
While we take reasonable steps to ensure that our partners comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, we are not responsible for their processing activities.
Vetnio™ will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected such Personal Data for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. When your Personal Data is no longer needed for the purpose for which such Personal Data was collected, we will take reasonable steps to destroy, delete or permanently de-identify your Personal Data.
Our services are not directed to persons under the age of eighteen (18) years. We do not collect Personal Data from children under the age of eighteen (18) years.
