Where is Personal Data processed?

The Services are intended for residents of the United States. Personal Data we collect will be stored on secure cloud-based servers in the United States. 

Cookies and Other Automatic Data Collection

Our Site uses cookies. A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you enter a website or a mobile app. It enables the website or mobile app to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. While the cookies we may use change from time to time, they generally fall into one of the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary in order for you to use the Services, load and view content, and access your account.
• Functionality cookies. These cookies help us remember you and personalize features and content for you on the Services.
• Preference cookies. These cookies allow us to capture and store your information privacy related preferences (e.g., your opt-in and opt-out), account settings, and certain login information.
• Analytics cookies. These cookies help us and our service providers compile statistics and analytics about platform users, including traffic, usage, demographic, and trend data. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the platform, then collects that information and reports it to us. This information helps us improve the Platform so that we can better serve you. If you wish, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

To learn more about cookies and similar technologies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. 

Privacy Rights

All users of our services have the following privacy rights:

• Correcting your Information. You may contact us to correct any Personal Data you provide to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be inaccurate.
• Setting Your Cookie Preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. 
• Promotional Offers from Us. If you do not wish to have your contact information used by us to promote our own services, you can opt-out by clicking “unsubscribe” on the email you received. This opt-out does not apply to transactional or relationship messages we may send regarding your use of our services.

 

Security of Personal Data

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of your information in our custody and control. No data, on the Internet or otherwise, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot and do not ensure or warrant the security of your information.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect information, including Personal Data, directly from children under the age of 13. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a child under the age of 13, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below, and we will take prompt steps to delete the information.

Links to Other Sites 

The Services may contain links to websites or other services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for any Third-party Service. Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting the use or installation of any Third-Party Service does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you accesses.

Do-Not-Track

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. Because DNT is not uniform across browsers, many website operators, like us, do not recognize or respond to browser initiated DNT signals.

California Residents

California residents may request and obtain from us, once a year, free of charge, a list of third parties, if any, to which We disclose the resident’s Personal Data for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year and the categories of Personal Data shared with those third parties. If you are a California resident and wish to obtain that information about yourself, please submit a request by sending us an email at info@vionbiosciences.com. with “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line. Please note, however, that Vion does not disclose your Personal Data to any third party for their direct marketing purposes.

We are not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as of the effective date of this Privacy Notice.

Nevada Residents

If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of certain Personal Data, including your name and mailing address, to third parties. Please note, however, that Vion does not sell your Personal Data.

Notice Updates 

Please note that we may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make a material change to this Privacy Notice, we will attempt to notify you through the Services or some other means when required to do so by applicable law. Except in an event in which we may need your consent under applicable law, any changes to this Privacy Notice will be effective immediately upon posting and shall supersede all prior notices.
