Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

We care deeply about privacy and it is important to us to be transparent about our privacy practices, including how we treat your personal information. Accordingly, we have implemented this privacy policy to inform you of the information we collect from you, how we collect it, what we do with it, and how you can access and control your personal data.

This privacy policy applies to our websites, services, and applications (collectively, referred to as "services" or "our services"); which are provided to you by VerLuce, Inc. (referred to herein as "VerLuce", "VerLuce Smart” “VerLuce Smart Home”, "VerLuce.com", "we" or "us").

ACCEPTANCE

By using our services, you agree to the practices described in our privacy policy, which is an integral part of our terms of use. If you don't agree, then you may not use our services.

INFORMATION COLLECTED OR RECEIVED

  • Information you provide: We receive, store and analyze any information you enter while using our services or provide to us in any other way. Such information in general can be classified as non-personally identifiable, personally identifiable, or sensitive personal information. For example, some of our services require you to sign up for an account. When you do, we will ask for personally identifiable information, such as your name and email address. Depending on which services you choose to use, we may ask for additional personally identifiable information. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our services.
  • Automatic information: We automatically receive, store and analyze various categories of general non-personally identifiable information whenever you interact with our services. Such information may include but not limited to items viewed and searched for, web browser information, operating system information, device information, geo-location, TCP/IP address, HTTP referer, date and time, time zone and language settings. We may also use programming tools to record and analyze session information, including page response times, errors, length of visits, and page interaction information. We may also collect technical information to help us identify your device for diagnostic and fraud prevention purposes.
  • Third party services: You may optionally choose to link your account to an external third-party service or application, such as Facebook or Twitter. By utilizing such method, you are granting us permission to receive, store and analyze information from a third-party.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We utilize "cookies" (small text files placed on your device) and similar technologies to provide certain aspects of our services and to help collect data. Although cookies originating from our services don't store any personally identifiable information, cookies allow us, among other things, to store user preferences and settings; provide interest-based advertising; combat fraud; and analyze how our services are performing.
  • Mobile and portable devices: When using our apps, we may receive information about your geo-location and device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as personalized advertising, enhanced search results, and other personalized content.
  • Credit bureaus: In order to provide some of our customers with certain services, we may upon authorization, obtain credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help us offer certain services, as well as prevent and detect fraud.
  • Other sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and append it to existing account information. For example, we may receive updated delivery address information from shipping carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct existing records and therefore deliver your orders more efficiently.

VERIFIED THIRD PARTIES

We may engage verified third party companies and individuals (such as payment processors, research companies, analytics and security providers) to help us provide and improve our services. These third parties have limited access to your information only to perform certain tasks on our behalf and are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose.

ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER

Information about customers is considered a company asset and is an important component of any business, as such, may be transferred to another company as part of a merger or acquisition. In such case, such information remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).

UNDERAGE USERS

For legal reasons, account holders must be at least the age of majority where they live.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We are committed to handling your information with high standards of information security. For example, we encrypt sensitive personal information (such as credit card numbers) using secure socket layer technology (SSL). In addition, we employ reasonable precautions, industry standard security measures, and multi-level staff access to help keep the information disclosed to us safe and secure. With that said, your account information is ultimately protected by login credentials. It is very important that you protect your account by carefully choosing a strong password, and keeping your login credentials and devices secure.

DATA RETENTION

We retain information as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a specific retention period is required or permitted by applicable laws. In regards to closed accounts, we will retain and use information associated with a closed account to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce this privacy policy and other agreements.

Instructions for blocking or deleting cookies in web browsers may be available in each browser's privacy or help documentation. You can also visit http://www.aboutcookies.org for more information on how to manage and remove cookies across a number of different internet browsers.

  • Analytics providers: Many of our services may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also called single-pixel gifs) that we use to help deliver cookies on our websites, count users who have visited those websites and deliver co-branded services. We also include web beacons in our promotional email messages or newsletters to determine various statistics and benchmarks. You can opt out of data collection by the following third-party analytics providers: Google Analytics.
  • Do not track signals: Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Not all web browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many digital service operators, including us, do not recognize or respond to DNT signals.

We reserve the right to modify the privacy practices described herein at any time and without notice.
