Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains, in plain terms, what we collect when you visit our website or get in touch, and why.
01Who we are
Valent (“Valent”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website at valentprocure.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect through the Site and when you contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Personal data we process when providing the Valent platform to customers is governed by our agreement with each customer, not by this policy.
02Information we collect
We keep the data we collect to a minimum:
- Information you send us. When you use the contact form (“Talk to our team”) or email us, we receive your name, email address, company if you give it, and whatever you write in your message.
- Technical data. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider automatically records standard server log data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page and the time of your request. This is used to deliver the Site and keep it secure.
The Site has no accounts or sign-up, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data.
04How we use your information
We use personal data to:
- respond to your enquiries and hold business conversations;
- operate, maintain and secure the Site;
- understand how the Site performs, using aggregated technical data;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
We do not sell your personal data or use it for targeted advertising.
05Legal bases
Where data protection laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, we rely on our legitimate interests in running the Site and responding to business enquiries, on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and on compliance with our legal obligations.
07International transfers
We are based in the United States and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, we use appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
08Retention
We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and maintain our business relationship, and server logs for a limited period set by our hosting provider. We then delete or anonymise the data, unless we must keep it longer by law.
09Security
The Site is served over HTTPS, and we use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict our use of it, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. California residents may also request to know what personal information we collect and ask us to delete it; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at inquiries@valentprocure.com. We will not treat you differently for doing so. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, take reasonable steps to let you know.
12Contact
Questions or requests about this policy or your personal data can be sent to inquiries@valentprocure.com.
