Vital Interest
How Do We Share This Information?
We do not sell your information to third parties. However, we work closely with third-party suppliers who assist us with business activities.
We may occasionally disclose your information to the following categories of companies or organizations that handle services on our behalf: direct marketing communication agencies and consultants, market research and analytics service providers, and our legal and other professional advisors.
We take steps to ensure that any third-party partners who handle your information comply with data protection legislation and protect your information as we do. We only disclose the personal information necessary for them to provide the services they are carrying out on our behalf. We will aim to anonymize your information or use aggregated, non-specific data sets whenever possible.
Due to the international nature of our business, your information may be processed or stored outside the EU. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for the transfer and storage by applicable law.
Under certain circumstances, we may share your information with our parent company or other organizations within our Group to fulfil orders, handle transactions, address complaints, or provide services or information that you have requested.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We will not hold your personal information in an identifiable format longer than necessary. Suppose you are a customer or have another relationship with us. In that case, we will keep your personal information longer than if we obtained your details regarding a potential future relationship.
If we have an established relationship with you (e.g., you are a regular customer), we will retain your personal information for six years following the end of our relationship. This period allows us to establish, bring, or defend legal claims.
If your personal information was collected following a request for information about any of our products or services, we will retain it for one year and six months from the date we collect that information unless we form a relationship with you during that time (e.g., you make a purchase). This period helps us develop a relationship with you.
The only exceptions to the retention periods mentioned above are as follows:
The law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period or to delete it sooner.
- If you raise a complaint or concern regarding a product or service we offer, we will retain your information for six years following the date of that complaint or query.
- You exercise your right to have your information erased (where applicable), and we do not need to retain it for any legally permitted or required reasons (see further details on how you can manage the information we hold about you).
How Can You Manage the Information We Hold About You?
As an individual, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to make corrections if necessary. You also have the right to withdraw any consent you previously provided and request that we erase the information we have about you. Furthermore, you can object to using your personal information when we process it based on our business interests.
Under data protection law, you possess several rights concerning your personal information. For most rights, we will need you to provide information to confirm your identity and, if applicable, to assist us in locating your personal information. Except in rare cases, we will respond to your requests within 30 days of receiving them, including any required identification documents.
Your rights include:
- Requesting a copy of the information we hold about you.
- Correcting and updating your information.
- Withdrawing your consent (where we rely on it).
- Objecting to our use of your information (where we rely on our legitimate interests), provided we do not have any ongoing lawful reason to continue using it. We will always respect your right to object to using your personal information for direct marketing.
- Erasing your information (or restricting its use) as long as we do not have an ongoing lawful reason to continue using it.
- Transferring your information in a structured data file (in a commonly used and machine-readable format) if we rely on your consent to use and process your personal information or if it relates to your contract.
