4.3 How Do We Secure Your Data?

We maintain security measures to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no system is 100% secure.

While we make every effort to protect your Personal Data shared with us, we can’t guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we don’t accept liability for unauthorized disclosure of your data.

Google Workspace

We store email correspondence and other files that contain your Personal Data in our secure Google Workspace.

Your information is encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption is an important piece of the Google Workspace security strategy, helping to protect your emails, chats, video meetings, Google Drive files, and other data.

Flywheel

The Site is hosted on Flywheel, a leading hosting provider for thousands of businesses. We store your name, an image of you, and your feedback about your level of satisfaction when you consent to us posting your testimonial on the Site.

We store similar Personal Data, such as your name and website, if you consent to us using your photography so we may credit you properly.

Your information is encrypted at rest and in transit. SSL is employed on the Site to ensure that all data passed between the web server and browser remain private.

Gravity Forms

The Site forms do not store your Personal Data in any way. We have disabled all analytics and tracking from the Site forms. We have chosen to do so to put your privacy first.

The Site forms may use hCaptcha, a GDPR-compliant and privacy-friendly captcha. We use captcha technology to help stop junk email from ever hitting our servers. Junk email may contain links that lead to phishing websites or sites that are hosting malware or include malware as file attachments.

Please contact us directly at hellosam [at] vostramoda.com if you are having trouble filling out the Site forms.

Buttondown

We store your email address and name in Buttondown, a privacy-first newsletter software. We use your email address for the purposes for which you provided it to us, and also to send you emails regarding the Offerings or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We have disabled analytics including open and link tracking, and any other behavioral tracking on all emails sent.

You may opt out of such email communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in the email.

Calendly

To make scheduling our appointments together easier, we use Calendly, instead of going back and forth via email. We store your appointment information, which can include your name, email address, and phone number; the subject of the meeting; and any other information provided to us.

Zoom or Google Meet

When scheduling our meetings with Calendly, we will collect Personal Data about your appointment with us. The Calendly service (as detailed above) will automatically send both of us an email with a link to our meeting, either hosted on Zoom or Google Meet.

Intuit

We use Intuit to process any payments you make to purchase our Offerings by an invoice sent to your email address. We receive only the information used for order fulfillment.

Hue and Stripe

We use Hue and Stripe to organize some of our Clients’ Personal Data to help us perform our contractual obligations to you by digitally managing your wardrobe with images that you supply us, and creating interactive lookbooks for you.

The Personal Data we require from you to create an account with us via Hue and Stripe is your name, email address, country, state/province/region, and city where you reside. Other information may be collected and stored within Hue and Stripe as provided by you.

You may request your Personal Data be provided to you or deleted by us or by Hue and Stripe directly.

Voxer

We use Voxer to enhance our communication with our Clients. Voxer is a secure, real-time communication push-to-talk (PTT) website and app that we use to collect multimedia messages from you without the need to collect your telephone number.

We collect images, text, video, and audio that you send us, and use this data to make communication between us easier, and help us perform our contractual obligations to you.

4.4 How Do We Share Your Data?

We may also share your Personal Data with trusted external (third-party) service providers and partners to contact you based on your request to receive such communications, help us provide sales support, or provide customer support.

4.5 How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

We keep your Personal Data and other relevant information only so long as we need it to provide you with the services you request, and thereafter for no longer than is reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes and to provide you with any feedback or information that you might request or require.

Note: As long as you have an open account with us, we will continue to retain your Personal Data. This allows you to participate in programs that we may share with you that require an open account.

When we no longer need to use your Personal Data and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either delete it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can not identify you.

4.6 What Are Your Data Protection Rights?

That’s why we treat any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual as “Personal Data”. No matter where you live, you have

6. Embeds From Other Sites

Articles on the Site or in the newsletter may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect Personal Data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.


7. Children’s Personal Data

The Site and Offerings are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that they not provide Personal Data through the Site or to us directly without verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian.

If we learn that we have collected Personal Data of a child under the age of thirteen (13) without verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian, we will take reasonable steps to delete such data from our files promptly, unless we have a legal obligation to retain it. Please contact us by your preferred method if you believe we have any Personal Data from or about a child under the age of thirteen (13).
