It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if any of your Personal Data changes during your relationship with us.
This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy statement of every website you visit.
The type of Personal Data we collect about you will depend upon the nature of your relationship with us (e.g. whether you are a customer, prospective customer, job candidate, service provider, representative or visitor to our website or office, or you are meeting us at a trade or sales event).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you or your employees, which we have grouped together as follows:
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences except where you apply for employment through Workable and you will be notified of how we use this information at that point.
Where we need to collect Personal Data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with quotation or products or services or process your job application and employment offer). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, or not progress your job application, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
We use different methods to collect your Personal Data from and about you including through:
(a) analytics providers such as Google based both inside and outside the UK/EU;
(b) advertising networks such as Geo-Matching (https://geo-matching.com/) based inside the UK/EU; and

You will receive marketing communications from us and our third party marketing support partner, Constant Contact Inc. (https://www.constantcontact.com) based in the US, if you have requested information from us or purchased products or services from us, consented to receiving such communications or where we are pursuing a legitimate interest and have a lawful right to do so and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing (limited to similar products or services you purchased from us).
Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before we share your Personal Data with any third party such as Constant Contact Inc. for marketing purposes. A copy of Constant Contact Inc.’s privacy policy can be accessed here: https://www.endurance.com/privacy/privacy.
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to Personal Data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.
You can set your browser, or use the check boxes in our Cookie Notice, to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
VectorNav will only use your Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purpose that we collected it for, to comply with our legal requirements or for purposes you later authorise.
Before we use your Personal Data for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose we collected it for or that you later authorise, where required by law, we will notify you, explain the legal basis which allows us to do so, and provide you with the opportunity to opt out.
Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, where this is required or permitted by applicable law or regulations.
We may share your Personal Data with the following categories of recipients:
Where we are required by law, and have the ability, to do so, we require third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. Where required by law, we do not allow our third party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
VectorNav is headquartered in the United States. As a result, if you are located in the UK or EU, your Personal Data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the UK.
This website is hosted in the United States. Personal Data that is voluntarily provided on or via this website may be maintained or accessed in servers or files located in the United States, which the EEA has not deemed to provide "adequate" privacy safeguards. If you do not wish to having your Personal Data processed and stored in the United States, please do not provide it to VectorNav.
Our third party representatives and service providers are based in the United States, outside the EEA or the UK, so their processing of your Personal Data may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA or the UK.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA or the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of the EEA or the UK.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Where required by law, they will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
VectorNav maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that your Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period if there is a legitimate business reason or in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
If you are located in the UK or EU, under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data. These rights include:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact Adam Brogden at support@optindigo.com.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
