Versa 3’s Privacy Policy addresses the collection, use, and disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies to all persons and/or businesses who visit our websites as well as those who do business with us. Versa 3 is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and website visitors.
References to “we,” “us,” and “our” shall mean Versa 3. References to “you,” “your,” and “yours” shall mean the members, customers, and website visitors.
By using our website, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Online Privacy Notice and consent to our online data collection activities as described in this Online Privacy Notice.
The terms “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” used in this Online Privacy Notice refer to information such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, or other information that identifies you. This information may be collected when you voluntarily provide it to us on our website or when you do business with us.
The term “online activity data” refers to information such as IP address, browser type, display/screen settings, how you interact with our emails and website, advertising IDs, social media preferences and other social media data, location data (if you have enabled location services on your device), and other data that may be aggregated and may identify individual customers.
You may visit our website to learn about services without giving us any personal information. We may use software tools and/or “cookies” to track and gather information about your browsing activities in order to analyze usage, target areas for improvement, and create marketing programs to benefit customers or potential customers who visit our site.
Tracking may include the date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent on our site, browser types, IP address, and the site visited just before and just after our site.
The use of cookies and similar tracking technologies (including pixels or clear GIFs, tags, and web beacons) is a common internet practice. Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device, save your settings, facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize the user’s experience. Cookies are also used to gather statistical information about how sites are used to help with design and functionality improvements.
Cookies set by Versa 3 are called first-party cookies. We may also have third-party cookies, which are cookies from a different domain which are used for advertising and marketing efforts. There can be first-party and/or third-party cookies within any of the below Categories of Cookies.
Cookies have a duration period. Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session are called “session” cookies. Cookies that are stored longer are called “persistent” cookies. There can be session and/or persistent cookies within any of the below Categories of Cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your system and can be accessed again for multiple visits. Persistent cookies usually have an expiration date and will be automatically deleted from your system at that time.
We use different types of cookies to optimize your experience on our website. You may choose which types of cookies to allow and can change your cookie preferences at any time. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on the website.
1. Using Your Browser
Many of the cookies used on our website can be enabled or disabled through our consent tool or by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless manually completed through your browser function.
A growing number of browsers have adopted Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). The GPC is a technical specification designed to allow internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether they want their personal information to be sold or shared for behavioral advertising purposes. Where required to do so under applicable law, our websites will honor GPC opt-out signals.
2. Using Your Mobile Device
Some mobile devices come with a non-permanent advertising identifier or ID which gives companies the ability to serve targeted ads to a specific mobile device. In many cases, you can turn off mobile device ad tracking, or you can reset the advertising identifier at any time within your mobile device privacy settings. You may also choose to turn off location tracking on your mobile device. By turning off ad tracking or location tracking on your mobile device, you may still see the same number of ads as before, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests.
3. Interest-Based Advertising on Third-Party Websites
Online activity data collected on our websites or app may be used to advertise our products and services that may be of interest to you on third-party websites. Our service providers that deliver these advertisements are subject to their own privacy policies. To explore options for opting out of interest-based advertising, visit http://optout.aboutads.info/ or click on the AdChoices icon in an ad and follow the instructions.
You may also use the Network Advertising Initiative's (NAI) Opt-Out Tool by visiting https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. Furthermore, you may download the Google Analytics opt-out plug in, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/, to prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. Moreover, there may be other tools provided by the publishing platform to enable you to opt-out. Opting out relies on information in the unique cookies placed on your web browser by our service providers, so if you delete cookies, use a different device, or change web browsers, you may need to opt out again.
Additionally, we may partner with websites like Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Yahoo to display ads to you based on search terms you use on those websites. Please review the privacy policies of those websites for instructions on how to limit these ads. Please note that you may still receive general online advertising from us even after you adjust your ad preferences with certain web search engines or opt out of online advertising through AdChoices or the NAI tool. Such advertising, however, should not be based on online activity data or search term information.
Since we do not own or control these third-party resources, we cannot ensure that you will stop receiving our advertisements by using these tools or that such advertisements will not be based on online activity data or search term information, and we do not guarantee the functionality or availability of such third-party tools.
While we work with vendors and service providers who are contractually obligated to comply with our policies to protect information and to comply with all applicable laws regarding the collection, safeguarding, processing, and disclosure of personal information, such vendors and service providers are solely responsible for cookies, cookie tracking, and your choices for managing cookies.
4. Cookie Consent Tool
You may also opt-out of cookies by adjusting your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which may be accessed through our cookies banner when first visiting our website by clicking “Cookie Settings” after browsing through various tabs that describe the various types of cookies that run on our site. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tool be used to block cookies on third-party websites linked from our websites.
Please note that while your opt-out choices may be effective on the specific device and browser you use when you opt-out, it may not be effective on other devices or browsers that you may subsequently use to visit our websites, and you may need to use the consent tool feature again when visiting our websites from such other browsers or devices.
You can access the cookie consent tool anytime by scrolling to the bottom of our website and clicking on "Cookie Preferences."
When using our websites, you may be directed to other websites for activities such as surveys, completing job applications, and to view content hosted on those sites such as an embedded video or news article. These websites may use their own cookies. We do not have control over the placement of cookies by other websites you visit, even if you are directed to them from our websites.
We may collect information, such as your likes, interests, feedback, and preferences when you interact with our official pages on social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram or from our social media partners (but only if you choose to share with them and they, in turn, share that information with us). Please refer to the policies of those companies to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to your activity on those websites.
We do not and will not sell your personal information. We share your information as required to meet legal and regulatory obligations. We share your personal information that you have provided to us in connection with exploring or purchasing products and services with us.
We disclose your personal information and online activity data to third parties only for business purposes and to comply with our legal requirements. The general categories of third parties that we share with are as follows:
Security: Protecting the confidentiality and security of your personal and financial information is our highest priority. We value your trust, and we understand that handling your financial information with care is one of our most important responsibilities. Our policies, procedures, and protections are always evolving to adapt to new strategies used by fraudsters.
Our security measures include ensuring that our websites are hosted on secure servers, have SSL certificates, device safeguards, and secured files and buildings, as well as oversight of our third-party service providers that have access to your personal information and limiting our employees’ access to your personal information on a need to know basis.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
Linking to Other Websites: Our websites may contain links to third party websites. Although these links were established to provide you with access to useful information, we do not control and are not responsible for any of these websites or their contents. We do not know or control what information third-party websites may collect regarding your personal information.
We provide these links to you only as a convenience, and we do not endorse or make any representations about using such third-party websites or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from our websites so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. We are not responsible for the security or privacy practices of the linked websites.
We will retain your data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and utilize your data to the extent required to fulfill our legal obligations (for instance, if we are obligated to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Additionally, we will retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is typically retained for a shorter duration, except when it is utilized to enhance security or improve the functionality of our website, or when we are legally mandated to retain such data for longer periods.
If you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact us at info@versa3.com.
From time to time, we may change this Online Privacy Notice. The effective date of this Online Privacy Notice, as indicated above, reflects the last time this Policy was revised. Any changes to this Policy will become effective when we post the revised Policy on our website. Your use of our websites, online services, or online or mobile banking following these changes means that you accept the revised Online Privacy Notice.
