Veganlabelindex.org (hereinafter referred to as "the Organization") is deeply committed to the protection of your privacy. This Privacy Policy delineates the protocols regarding the collection, storage, utilization, and dissemination of information pertaining to the users of our website. Our primary objective is to collect, use, and disclose only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide the specific products or services requested, maintain our client/visitor databases, and respond effectively to inquiries or feedback. Should you provide your contact information, the Organization shall maintain the confidentiality of such data and utilize it strictly for the purposes for which it was collected. Unless otherwise specified herein (subject to the exceptions listed below), third-party disclosure shall require your prior explicit consent.
By accessing and utilizing the Vegan Label Index website (www.veganlabelindex.org), you hereby signify your acknowledgment and provide explicit consent to the collection and processing of your Personal Information by the veganlabelindex.org in accordance with the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Two categories of information may be collected through the Vegan Label Index website:
"Personal Information" refers to data that can identify an individual, including but not limited to name, address, email address, date of birth, and gender. At the point of collection, the Organization shall explicitly state the nature of the data being gathered and the intended purposes. Provision of Personal Information is strictly voluntary; however, failure to provide requested data may result in the inability to access certain features or execute transactions on the website. Methods of collection include:
"Non-Personal Information" pertains to anonymous data, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, domain names used to access the site, and the specific version of the browser or operating system employed. Aggregate data, including demographic statistics (e.g., average age or geographical distribution), visitor volume, page views, and duration of sessions, are also classified as Non-Personal Information. Business contact information (e.g., name, title, business address, or telephone number of an employee within an organization) is not categorized as Personal Information.
The Organization utilizes "Cookies" to monitor traffic and content engagement. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard drive by a web server. These tools are used to compile aggregate statistics to enhance website content and user experience. Users maintain the right to configure their browsers to decline cookies; however, such action may limit the functional capacity of the website.
The Organization collects information exclusively for the following purposes:
Personal Information shall not be utilized for any ancillary purposes without prior consent. The Organization strictly prohibits the sale or marketing of personally identifiable information to third parties.
The Organization shall not disclose Personal Information to third parties, with the exception of business partners who have agreed to adhere to equivalent confidentiality standards and who utilize the data solely for the purposes defined at the time of collection.
Critical Exceptions: The Organization reserves the right to disclose Personal Information without prior consent under the following circumstances:
The website may contain links to third-party vendors and websites. The privacy practices of these external entities are beyond the control of the Organization. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites, as their data processing shall be governed by the respective policies of those operators.
The security of your Personal Information is of paramount importance. The Organization employs commercially reasonable technical, contractual, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect data against unauthorized access or disclosure. Access to Personal Information is strictly restricted to authorized personnel who require such data to fulfill the specified purposes.
The Organization shall retain Personal Information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Please be advised that, due to technological or statutory limitations, the complete erasure of all personal data upon request may not always be instantaneous or absolute.
The Organization reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at its discretion. Any such amendments shall be announced via a prominent notice on the homepage (www.veganlabelindex.org). Changes become effective immediately upon posting. Users are advised to periodically review this document to remain informed of any updates. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Users maintain the right to access and verify the accuracy of their Personal Information held by the Organization. Upon receipt of a written request, the Organization shall provide a copy of the stored data and facilitate necessary corrections to ensure the information remains accurate and current.
