Like most website operators, VANTAGE POINT collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. VANTAGE POINT’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how VANTAGE POINT’s visitors use its website. From time to time, VANTAGE POINT may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

​

VANTAGE POINT also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blogs. VANTAGE POINT only disclose logged in user and commenter addresses under the same circumstances that it users and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

​

Certain visitors to VANTAGE POINT’s websites choose to interact with VANTAGE POINT in ways that require VANTAGE POINT to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that VANTAGE POINT gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with VANTAGE POINT are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, VANTAGE POINT collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with VANTAGE POINT. VANTAGE POINT does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent from engaging in certain website related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

​

VANTAGE POINT discloses potentially personally-identifying information and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on VANTAGE POINT’s behalf or to provide services available at VANTAGE POINT’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country, by using VANTAGE POINT’s websites you consent to the transfer of such information to them. VANTAGE POINT will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above. If you are a registered user of a VANTAGE POINT website and have supplier your email address, VANTAGE POINT may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with VANTAGE POINT and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. VANTAGE POINT takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

​

Business Transactions

​

If VANTAGE POINT, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that VANTAGE POINT goes out of business or enters insolvency, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of VANTAGE POINT may continue to use personal information as set forth in this policy.
