VendorView360 (“VendorView360,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our websites, create or manage a profile, communicate with us, or use VendorView360 products and services (collectively, the “Services”).
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We may collect your name, business name, job title, email address, telephone number, service categories, service areas, business descriptions, profile content, project information, social-media links, credentials, licenses, insurance information, certifications, documents, training information, messages, support requests, and other information you choose to provide.
Qualification, opportunity, and transaction information
When relevant to the Services, we may collect information connected to vendor requests, marketplace opportunities, invitations, expressions of interest, matching activity, vendor qualification, onboarding, agreements, electronic signatures, background-check status, credential expiration dates, renewals, approvals, and relationships between organizations and vendors. Sensitive reports or documents may be provided by or processed through third-party providers and may be subject to additional notices and authorizations.
Information collected automatically
We and our service providers may collect device and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, dates and times of access, and interactions with the Services. We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, preferences, analytics, and performance.
Information from other sources
We may receive information from participating organizations, vendors, publicly available sources, referral partners, social-media platforms when you link to them, and service providers supporting qualification, verification, electronic signatures, communications, analytics, or security.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
- create and display professional profiles and facilitate vendor discovery;
- publish authorized marketplace opportunities and facilitate responses and invitations;
- match organizations, vendor requests, opportunities, and potential vendors;
- support sourcing, qualification, onboarding, credential management, reminders, training, and relationship management;
- respond to inquiries, schedule demonstrations, and provide customer support;
- send administrative, security, invitation, opportunity-alert, service, and—where permitted—marketing communications;
- personalize content and measure performance;
- detect fraud, misuse, security incidents, and violations of our terms;
- comply with legal obligations and protect rights and safety; and
- carry out other disclosed purposes or purposes performed with your consent.
3. How We Share Information
We may share information with organizations and vendors as needed to provide the Services and according to profile visibility, permissions, sharing choices, and contractual relationships. We may also share information with service providers that perform hosting, communications, analytics, electronic signature, background screening, document management, customer support, security, and other functions on our behalf.
We may disclose information when required by law or legal process; to protect safety, rights, property, or the integrity of the Services; or in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. We do not sell personal information for money. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any choices required by applicable law.
4. Profiles, Credentials, and Visibility
Information designated as public may be visible to visitors or other users and may be indexed by search engines. Other information, including certain credential documents, may be restricted and shared only according to permissions or requests. You are responsible for reviewing your profile and sharing settings and ensuring that information you provide is accurate and authorized.
5. Background Checks and Electronic Signatures
Background checks and electronic signatures may be performed by third-party providers under their own terms and privacy notices. When legally required, appropriate disclosures and authorizations will be presented separately. VendorView360 does not independently guarantee the accuracy or completeness of third-party reports.
6. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Services. Retention periods vary according to the information and its purpose.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information by contacting us. Some information may be retained when required by law or for legitimate business purposes. You may unsubscribe from promotional email using the instructions in the message; you may still receive transactional or service-related communications.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Third-Party Links
The Services may link to third-party websites or social-media services, including Facebook and Instagram. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for those practices.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The effective date above shows when it was last revised. Material changes may also be communicated through the Services or by other appropriate means.
