We may use your personal data for our own marketing purposes, including, but not limited to notifying you of new services, offers or other information via mail, email, telephone, text message, and other means.



If you do not want us to use your personal data for marketing purposes or to provide your personal data to VSG Affiliates or to third parties for their marketing purposes, you may opt-out of such uses by notifying us in accordance with the procedure set forth below under the heading, “Rights to your Personal Data.”



5. DATA SHARING

We may share your personal data with our affiliates (i.e., affiliated businesses and operating companies) (collectively, “VSG Affiliates”) in pursuance of the purposes set out in section 3 above.



We may share your personal data with third party service providers (including contractors who provide services to us) to assist with any of the uses of personal data described above.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties if disclosure is required to comply with applicable laws or regulations; comply with legal process or a court order; to respond to requests from public and government authorities; or if disclosure is necessary to enforce our Privacy Policy and/or Terms of Use; to protect your safety or security; to protect our rights, the safety and security of our site and property or that of VSG Affiliates or third parties; to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages we may sustain.

For vehicle repair shops, this may include prior repair information that helps them better assess repair needs and confirm prior repairs were done properly.



6. LAWFUL BASES

Under the laws in the EU, we are required to identify the lawful bases for which we use your personal data. These are:



(i) Legitimate Interest — we have a legitimate interest in contacting you where you provide us with your details, to manage our relationship with you and to monitor and improve the use of any VSG branded website, and to send you marketing communications;

(ii) Consent — where we are required by local law to collect consent in order to send you marketing communications; and

(iii) Compliance with a legal obligation — where we are required to collect and disclose your personal data because we are subject to a legal or regulatory obligation.



We do not intend to collect any sensitive personal data (which is defined under EU law to include, for example, personal data on ethnicity, racial origin, and health) through the VSG branded websites.



Where we rely on the legitimate interest lawful basis to use your personal data, you always have the right to object to such use by contacting us using the details above.



Where we rely on your consent to use your personal data, you always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details above.



7. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal data we collect online. However, we are not able to guarantee the confidentiality of non-confidential data such as feedback, questions, comments or ideas that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g., via the “Contact” tab or similar features on the VSG branded websites). We reserve the right to use and disclose such non-confidential information as we deem appropriate in compliance with applicable law.



There is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits, or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security measures.



8. HOW LONG WILL WE HOLD YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will retain your personal data for as long as:

(i) we have a relationship with you;

(ii) we are required by law; or

(iii) we need to in order to protect ourselves as a business or protect any other third party.



If you have any questions about our retention policy, please contact us using the details set out above.



9. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

As a global organization, we will transfer your personal data across borders. VSG is based in the US although our VSG Affiliates are located in countries worldwide. Where a transfer of personal data across borders is required to comply with applicable laws, we will implement appropriate or suitable safeguards (such as EU Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect that personal data. Please contact us using our details above should you require further information.



10. THIRD PARTY SITES AND SERVICES

The VSG website and VSG branded websites may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other web site. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any personal data which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the web site in question.



VSG companies may also serve as a service provider to other third party businesses, and in those instances, VSG processes personal data in accordance with the instructions of that business client. Similarly, where VSG partners with another third party business to offer you additional features, that business is subject to their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any third party companies with which you intentionally interact.



11. RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Under certain laws, you have the right to seek access to your personal data, seek rectification or erasure of your personal data, restrict our use of your personal data, object to our use of personal data, or request data portability. Please contact us if you wish to exercise any of these rights.



In any event, you can always ask us for more information about the people who will be able to see and access your personal data.



In accordance with applicable laws, you may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal data by us by emailing us at [email protected]. This includes where you:

(i) have previously not objected to us using your personal data for our direct marketing purposes but now wish to opt-out of receiving future marketing emails from us;

(v) do not want to be contacted by us in the future (unless you initiate the contact).



Individuals who are residents of California have certain consumer rights under applicable California privacy laws, which are subject to certain limitations and/or restrictions. Specifically, under California law you may have the right to:

• Request that we disclose information about the personal information collected, used, disclosed, or sold;

• Request that we delete personal information collected or maintained by us;

• Opt out of the sale of your personal information, if there are any sales of personal information; and

• Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.



Note that if you make such a request, we must verify your request before we can respond. Whenever feasible, we will match at least two data points in the identifying information provided by the consumer to the Personal Information already maintained by us, but it may require more data points depending on the information requested. We will avoid collecting highly sensitive pieces of personal information, unless necessary. If we cannot verify your identity, we may need to deny your request. We will generally respond within 45 days. A consumer may use an authorized agent to submit a request on the consumer’s behalf. When using an authorized agent, we require that you provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and verify their own identity and agent status with us. If you are placing a request on behalf of a household, we will need a verified request on behalf of each member of the household.



If you wish to exercise any of your rights under this section, you may submit your request via any of these methods: You may write to us at the above address (located at the beginning of this Privacy Policy) or call us at 1.800.640.5438 or 1.812.273.1622.
