We at Virtual Incentives (“Virtual Incentives,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respect your concerns about privacy and value the relationship we have with our website visitors and ViNOW users (“you”). This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the types of personal information we may collect through our website available at <https://www.virtualincentives.com/>, our ViNOW portal available at <now.virtualincentives.com>, and your communications with us via email, telephone, or social media; how we may use that information; and with whom we may share it. Our Privacy Policy also describes the measures we take to protect the security of personal information.  In addition, we describe the choices you have about how we collect and use the information you provide to us. We also tell you how you can reach us to update certain information you’ve given us, ask us not to send you future marketing communications, or answer any questions you may have about our privacy practices.  Please note this Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information obtained in connection with the provision of our cardholder services to our customers, which is subject to agreements between us and our customers.

We may update or change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting a prominent notice on our website and indicating at the top of this Privacy Policy when it was most recently updated and, if required by law, emailing you if you have given us your email address, to inform you of such changes to our Privacy Policy.  Any changes will be effective on the effective date specified on the revised Privacy Policy.

You may choose to provide personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) on our website or our ViNOW Portal, or when you communicate with us via email, telephone, or social media. Here are the ways you may provide information, the types of information you may submit, and how we may use such information:

If you email us through the “Contact Us” link on this site, we may ask you for information such as your name and email address so we can respond to your questions and comments. We may also collect the following information: your other contact information, such as your phone number and postal address; the content of your communication and the technical details of the communication itself, such as with whom you correspond at our end and the date and time; and publicly available information about you.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. These cookies are necessary for our website or ViNOW portal to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but if certain cookies are disabled, some parts of the website or the ViNOW portal may not function properly. These cookies do not store or involve the processing of your personal information.


Information We Share
We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about you, except as described here. We share information provided by you with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf such as payment processing, data storage, website analytics, shipping services, and email services, or for compliance with legal requirements. Please note we rely on third parties to follow certain of your actions on our website or our ViNOW Portal in order to better understand how Virtual Incentives is used. We also may share information about you with other members of our corporate family. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, or (iv) to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
