Privacy Policy
Updated 6/9/2024
The Verity Partners Group (“VPG”) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the VPG website and governs data collection and usage. By using the VPG website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection Of Your Personal Information
VPG collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. VPG also collects anonymous demographic information, that is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by VPG. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by VPG for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the VPG website.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through VPG public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.
VPG encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from VPG so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. VPG is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the VPG family of websites.
Use Of Your Personal Information
VPG collects and uses your personal information to operate the VPG website and deliver the services you have requested. VPG also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from VPG and its affiliates. VPG may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
VPG does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. VPG may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, VPG may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to VPG, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
VPG does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
VPG keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within VPG, to determine what VPG services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within VPG to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
VPG websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on VPG or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of VPG; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of VPG or the public.
Use Of Cookies
The VPG website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize VPG pages, or register with VPG sites or services, a cookie helps VPG to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same VPG website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the VPG features that you customized.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the VPG services or websites you visit.
Security Of Your Personal Information
VPG secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. VPG secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. To further protect your privacy, sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, birthdays, etc., should only be submitted to VPG using the specified secure channels labeled as such on this site.
Changes To This Statement
VPG will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. VPG encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how VPG is protecting your information.
