Privacy Policy

Int’l Markets Value Circle (“IMVC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website and use our services.

Information We Collect

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, IMVC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. IMVC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how IMVC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, IMVC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

IMVC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. IMVC does not use such information to identify its visitors and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to IMVC’s websites choose to interact with IMVC in ways that require IMVC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that IMVC gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for IMVC.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, IMVC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with IMVC. IMVC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

IMVC may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, IMVC may monitor the most popular collections on IMVC.com. IMVC may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, IMVC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

IMVC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on IMVC’s behalf or to provide services available at IMVC’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using IMVC’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Besides, in some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if IMVC or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that IMVC goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of IMVC may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as outlined in this policy. Otherwise, IMVC will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, IMVC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when IMVC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of IMVC, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an IMVC website and have supplied your email address, IMVC may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with IMVC and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. IMVC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. IMVC uses cookies to help IMVC identify and track visitors, their usage of IMVC websites, and their website access preferences. IMVC visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using IMVC’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of IMVC’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on any IMVC websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by IMVC and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Links to Third-Party Sites

This privacy policy only applies to information collected by IMVC. This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that IMVC does not own or control, or employees that IMVC does not manage. An IMVC website may contain links to third-party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personally-identifying information, and IMVC and its affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personally-identifying information by any third party.

Security

Personal information about users that is maintained on IMVC systems is protected using industry-standard security measures. We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. All non-personally-identifying information, potentially personally-identifying, and personally-identifying information described above is stored on restricted database servers, located at Germany.

You should be aware that IMVC has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services which may be linked from our site. You should keep your username, password, or other access information safe and confidential to protect against unauthorized access to your account information and services.

How Long We Retain Your Data

IMVC will retain personal data or information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used, or as otherwise required under the User Agreement or any other law in force, or unless ordered to the contrary by any court of law. The information collected shall be used for the purpose for which it has been collected.

Choice/Opt-Out

If we ever send you information by email concerning new products, services, or information that you did not expressly request, we will provide you with an email address by which you may request no further notices.

Address Book Data

Any external address book data (email contacts, etc.) that a user voluntarily gives IMVC access to will only be used for the described feature (looking up friends, etc.), and will not be stored or repurposed.

Privacy Policy Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We may notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by placing a notice on our site for a reasonable period. IMVC encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its privacy policy. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Privacy Policy shall constitute your consent to the updated Privacy Policy.
