In this privacy policy, Vuarnet means Vuarnet Inc., a New York corporation whose principal place of business is at 420 Columbus Avenue, Suite 301, Valhalla, NY 10595 USA. Vuarnet (also referred to as “we” or “us”) owns and operates the Vuarnet.com website.  

We respect your right to privacy and data security. This privacy policy describes our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way we collect and use information about you.

What information do we collect?

When you make a purchase from us on Vuarnet.com, we collect the personal information you provide, which uniquely identifies you. This information includes your name, address, email address and telephone number.

When you browse Vuarnet.com, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address.
This helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

We may also collect information about your interests in, and use of, various products, programs, and services we offer.

We do not intentionally collect personal information from minors. If you are under 18, we ask you not to provide us with any personal information.

How do we use the information?

We may use your personally identifiable information for any of the following purposes:

  • to process your transactions on the Vuarnet.com website
  • to respond to you inquiries and provide you with customer service and support
  • to conduct research on and to improve the Us.vuarnet.com website and products and services

What is Shopify’s role?

Us.vuarnet.com is hosted by Shopify Inc. They provide us with the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you online.

Shopify stores your personally identifiable information on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you make a purchase online, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our online store and its service providers.

For more information, you can read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Shopify’s Privacy Statement.


Do we share personal information with others?

We do not rent, sell or disclose your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals for uses not described in this privacy policy without providing you with the opportunity to opt out of these uses.

However, we may release your personal information when we are required to do so by law, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena, or in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

We may also disclose your personal information in the course of a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition or liquidation of the company, where the receiving party pledges confidentiality.

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect whenever we have reason to believe that use or disclosure may be necessary to identify possible violations of the Vuarnet.com Terms of Use or to identify, contact or bring legal action against any person or entity that may be violating our rights or the rights of others, or to protect the security of our software, products and services, websites and users, or to protect us from liability.

We may disclose general, non-identifying and aggregate data about the Vuarnet.com website publicly or to specific companies, for marketing and market research purposes. Such information may include the number of sellers and buyers, offer and sale prices and non-identifying information about buyers and sellers.

Agents and contractors of ours who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.
