This Privacy Policy explains how VRVE use any personal information we collect about you, or that you provide to us, when you use this website or contact us directly.
The General Data Protection Regulation requires us to manage personal information in accordance with data protection principles and in particular requires us to process your personal information fairly and lawfully. This means you are entitled to know how we intend to use any information you provide. You can then decide whether you want to give it to us in order that we may provide the product or service that you require.
We rely on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data. That means that we can collect and use your personal data on the basis that it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, except where our interests are overridden by your privacy interests.
Our legitimate interests are carrying on our business, providing services to our users, and raising awareness of VRVE online, in print, and in person.
Through our website (www.vrve.co), we may collect and process the following data about you:

By supplying this information you are consenting to VRVE storing and using it for the purposes for which it was provided. We will not use your personal information to contact you unless you have specifically requested to receive information from us.
Any personal information we have gathered will not be shared with any third parties. We do not allow our service providers to use your data for their own purposes and they may only use your data upon our instruction and in accordance with all relevant data protection laws.

Cookies in use on our site include Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics tool that helps website owners understand how visitors engage with their website. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so that they can improve it.
Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. These cookies are used to store information, such as the time that the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the web page.
Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.
Your personal data is processed in a manner that ensures that it is secure and your confidentiality maintained, including preventing unauthorised access to or use of your personal data and the equipment used for the processing that data.
VRVE has implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to ensure the security of your data and we adhere to current regulations.
Our website conforms with the latest security practices but the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We do our best to protect your personal data but we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
If you have any queries, requests or complaints on the subject of data protection or would like to opt out of any contact or communications, please do not hesitate to contact our Data Protection Officer via hello@vrve.co
