This Privacy Notice describes the Vimian policies and practices regarding its collection and use of your personal data and sets forth your privacy rights.

How Vimian collects and uses (processes) your personal data
Vimian collects personal information about its customers, suppliers and business partners. This information is generally limited to the kinds of information that can be found on a business card: first name, last name, job title, employer name, work address, work email, and work phone number.
Personal data may also be collected if you choose to subscribe to our press releases, newsletters or other information, if you notify your attendance at seminars and similar grounds, or if you apply for a position or notify your interest in connection with recruitment or other events via this website or another channel. Personal data is collected from other sources such as, for example, in connection with Vimian’s investments in companies, partnerships, or from publicly available registers.
Vimian does not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive personal data from children, nor does it sell any personal data collected to anyone.
Use of vimian.com website
Vimian’s website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of the Vimian’s website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyse trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.
Certain pages on our website contain links to websites from a third party. These websites have their own privacy policies and Vimian is not responsible for their operations or information. Users who send information to or through these third-party websites should thus review the relevant website’s privacy policy before personal data is disclosed.

When and how Vimian shares information with others
Information about your Vimian purchases and business relationship might be stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval.
Vimian safeguards personal privacy and is thus careful to always protect personal data in the most appropriate manner and comply with the regulatory framework governing data protection as applicable from time to time. Vimian also performs screenings on its data processors and external business partners who are processing personal data for which Vimian acts as a data controller.
Transferring personal data to the U.S.
Vimian has its headquarters in Sweden, and whenever possible, will endeavour to have the processing of any personal data take place within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, personal data we collect about you might be processed outside of the EEA, namely in the United States.
By surfing on Vimian.com or entering into a contract with Vimian, you acknowledge that your personal information might be processed in the United States and, depending on the circumstances, that may involve a transfer of your information to the United States. Vimian provides safeguards by performing cross-border data transfers and as needed by entering into binding, standard data protection clauses where appropriate. Vimian also enters into data processing agreements and model clauses with its suppliers whenever feasible and appropriate.
Security of your information
To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information you transmit through use of this website, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees' privacy responsibilities.
Data storage and retention
Your personal data is stored by Vimian on its servers, and on the servers of third party cloud-based database management services Vimian engages, located in the United States.
Vimian retains personal data during the period in which a relationship exists with an individual, or a company or organisation which you represent, or during such time as is otherwise necessary in order to fulfil the purpose of the processing or during such time as there is an obligation to retain the data according to law, ordinance or decision by a public authority. You can deregister from your subscription in respect of press releases, newsletters and suchlike at any time and your information will then not be retained for this purpose. Personal data which is collected in connection with recruitment is retained during the recruitment and for a period up to two years following the completion thereof, unless you have consented to the data being retained for a longer period.
For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact Vimian at privacy@vimian.com.
