We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and any information that you may provide to us.

YOUR INFORMATION, INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, MAY BE PROCESSED IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE LAWS REGARDING THE PROCESSING OF INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION, MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

We obtain and use Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will ask for your consent before using Personal Information in a manner other than as set out in this Privacy Policy.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, our use of the term “Information” means any and all information we receive from or about you. This may include (without limitation) information collected from you directly or indirectly, manually or otherwise, or via electronic, automatic or other means, including (without limitation) via stationary, mobile or any other devices. Such information may include information (i) which you provide during the course of your use of the Site, or your use of our Services; (ii) collected about you, your business, and the technology you are using, and (iii) which we receive about you from third parties or other sources.
Information is divided into two distinct categories:
You may provide us with your Information voluntarily. For example, we collect Personal Information that you give us by filling in forms, using our Services, contacting us, setting up an account with us, or by contacting us by phone, email or other means; and that we learn about you from our business interactions, communications, and dealings with you.
We also collect Personal Information automatically when we receive and store certain types of information automatically when you interact with the Site or use the Services.
When using the Site, you can submit an inquiry via email. When contacting us, you will be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, state, organization and the subject and content of your inquiry. We refer to this data as “Inquiry Information”.
When you register to use our Services, we will ask you to provide us with your contact details such as your full name, email and organization. We refer to this data as “User Account Information”.
You do not have a legal obligation to provide us with your Inquiry Information or User Account Information. However, if you choose to not share this information with us, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry or allow you to access the Services.
When you use the Site, we record and collect certain information about your interaction with the Site, including the IP address from which you access the Site, time and date of access, type of browser used, language used, links clicked, and actions taken while using the Site ("Analytics Information").
We use this Personal Information to administer our Site, to measure the efficiency of our systems, and to undertake an analysis on the locations from which people access our webpages.
We also collect Information about your visit and your behaviour on our Site. This may include the website you visit before and after visiting our Site (including date and time), time and length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), methods used to browse away from the page, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and information provided when requesting further service or downloads.
Non-Personal Information may be collected, processed, and used in accordance with applicable law for any and all purposes we deem fit. Generally, the information Varos collects is used only for our own internal purposes, for example, to improve the Services and the Site, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to improve customer service, and to improve content and Site offerings, and may also be used by us to contact you to provide you with information which we believe may be useful to you. We believe that these uses allow it to improve the Services and our Site and to better tailor them to meet customers' needs.
We will use your Inquiry Information to contact you about your inquiry and handle your inquiry.
We will use your User Account Information to provide, maintain and improve your user experience when using the Services; to send you communications and administrative emails and to provide users with further information and updates with regards to the Site and the Services.
We will use the Analytics Information for quality assurance and for development and enhancement of the Site. We also use the Analytics Information to adapt the Site, its content, and our services to users’ preferences. In addition, we will use the Analytics Information to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce the Terms of Use, establishing your use of the Site, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
We may collect and use your Personal Information for undertaking marketing by email telephone and mail. We may send you certain marketing communications (including electronic marketing communications to existing customers) if it is in our legitimate interests to do so for marketing and business development purposes.
We will always obtain your consent to direct marketing communications where we are required to do so by law (for example, if you have provided a personal email address to us) and if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for such marketing.
In general, Personal Information you submit to us, or that is obtained by us, is used:
We may create anonymized information from Personal Information by excluding information that makes the information personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymized information for internal purposes, such as analyzing usage patterns, so that we may enhance the Site and Services, and we also reserve the right to use and disclose such anonymized information at our discretion to third parties. Such anonymized information may be deemed to be Non-Personal Information and used accordingly.
We will not share your Personal Information with third parties, except in the events listed below or when you provide us your explicit and informed consent.
We may share your Personal Information with our service providers who assist us with the internal operations of the Site and our business.
