Cookies & Spamming

DO WE USE 'COOKIES'?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING AND OPT-OUT

We may use cookies and other technologies to engage in interest-based advertising. Interest-based advertising or “online behavioral advertising” includes ads served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include ads we think are relevant based on your browsing habits or online activities. These ads might be served on websites. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.
To decide what is relevant to you, we use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. For example, we might look at your browsing behaviors. We, or our partners, might also look at your location. We might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others. We work with third parties who help gather this information. These third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect. That might include past purchases made offline or online. Or, it might include online usage information.
The Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising program provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behavior recorded and used for advertising purposes. To opt out of having your online behavior collected for advertising purposes by participating companies, click here. If you would like to opt-out of all such trackers, you can do so by turning off all cookies through your browser setting. Certain choices you make are both browser and device-specific.

Our Do Not Track Policy:

Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals. If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.

HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Data. Although we have tried to create secure, reliable and trustworthy websites for our visitors, please be aware that the Internet is generally not regarded as a completely secure environment, and that therefore the confidentiality of the Personal Data provided by you or material transmitted via our websites or by e-mail cannot be guaranteed by us. Thus, we cannot be responsible or liable for the security of your Personal Data whilst in transit via the Internet to us.

DO I HAVE CHOICES REGARDING MY PERSONAL DATA?

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

How can you opt-out, remove or modify Personal Data you have provided to us? To delete all of your online account information from our database, sign into the 'My Account' section of our site and remove your shipping addresses, billing addresses and payment information.

Note that you will still receive transactional messages from us, including information about your account and responses to your inquiries. To opt out of receiving our marketing communications, you can follow the instructions contained in the communication.

PERSONAL DATA TRANSFER AND LINKS

PERSONAL DATA TRANSFER ABROAD

VRC may have databases in different jurisdictions. VRC may transfer your Personal Data to one of its databases or to companies within the VRC group or to its partners, who have agreed to keep your Personal Data confidential and secure, outside of your country of residence. If the level of privacy protection in a country does not comply with internationally recognized standards, we will ensure that Personal Data transfers to our databases in that country are equally protected and that a transfer of Personal Data to third parties in such countries does not occur. By submitting your Personal Data, you expressly agree to its possible transfer to other companies within the VRC group and/or its partners and to this end to its trans-border transmission.

THIRD PARTY LINKS

Occasionally, at our discretion and in an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may include third party links on our site. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work). If you provide any Personal Data through any such third party web site, your transaction will occur on such third party's web site and the personal information you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy policy of, that third party. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of any such third parties.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POLICY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY OR INFORMATION PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTIES.

PERSONAL DATA AND CHILDREN

To respect the privacy of children and to comply with the laws designed to protect children, children under the age of 18 should not provide any Personal Data. VRC will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Data from a minor under the age of 18, without obtaining prior consent from a person with parental responsibility (parent, guardian). Our websites are general audience sites that are not designed nor intended to collect Personal Data from children under the age of 18. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.

 If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child under 18 has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us at info@foursigmatic.com. You can also write to us at the address listed at the end of this Policy. Please mark your inquiries “Children’s Information Request.”.
