Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 27, 2022

At Varisource, Inc (“Varisource”), we respect your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy in providing the website www.varisource.com and the associated software platform (collectively, the “Service”).  The policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use and disclose Personal Information, and to inform you of your rights with respect to such Personal Information.

 APPLICABILITY OF PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy relates to “Personal Information”, meaning information about an identifiable individual, whether, for example, that individual is our Customer, or our Customer’s provisioned user or an individual whose information is part of Processed Data, as these terms are defined below. Whether a person is “identifiable” means that they can be identified by the information itself or by that information combined with other information reasonably available.
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information collected or managed by Varisource through the use of the Service, data source integrations, and our websites. This Privacy Policy is also intended to explain how we use information which is not identifiable (and thus not Personal Information) that is collected via our websites and the Service.

“Customer” refers to the customers of Varisource and their provisioned users.

“Customer Information” refers to information about our Customers and their provisioned users.

“Processed Data” refers to information that is processed by Varisource on behalf of our Customers through their use of the Service.

Varisource does not have a direct relationship with many of the individuals whose Personal Information is included in Processed Data. This privacy Policy is intended to provide information about how all Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed, processed and protected by Varisource.


DATA SOURCE INTEGRATIONS
The Service provides Customers and their provisioned users the ability to easily connect to a wide variety of data sources using data source integrations. Some of these third-party data source integration providers have terms and conditions particular to their data sources and, by making use of the data source integrations offered by Varisource, you acknowledge and agree that your use of the Service may be subject to terms and conditions of those third-party providers.

 CLASSIFICATION OF INFORMATION
When the Service is used by our Customers, we classify the Personal Information we collect, use and disclose into two main categories: The first is Personal Information included in Customer Information, and the second is Personal Information that is included in Processed Data. It is important to note that not all Customer Information or Processed Data is Personal Information, either because it relates to a company or a business, or it is not identifiable.


PROCESSED DATA
Varisource does not control what information a Customer chooses to include in Processed Data. Because we are unable to determine whether it is Personal Information or other information, we treat it as though it may be Personal Information but our Customers are entirely responsible for any Personal Information they choose to include in Processed Data. All Customers and their provisioned users should understand that data in Varisource can be exported, shared or displayed by a Customer or provisioned user. Customers and provisioned users are solely responsible for the use of such exported, shared or displayed data and for protecting it appropriately.


WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
From our Customers, we only collect Customer Information that is necessary to establish and maintain the provision of the Service to them, as well as to understand and improve the usage and performance of the Service. When our Customers are corporations, as opposed to individuals, this information is not “Personal Information”. This Customer Information includes:
1. Customer name
2. Contact information, including postal and email addresses
3. Billing address
4. Billing details (as necessary for our internal accounting purposes and for processing payments through our contracted processing service)
5. Login information for provisioned users, such as usernames and encrypted passwords
6. Information about how the Customer and its provisioned users use the Service, including information about the Customer, location information, usage patterns and intended use of the Service.
7. Information provided by the Customer and its provisioned users in connection with any support given by the Varisource team related to the Service.
8. Login information for third party integrations to Varisource, such as usernames and encrypted passwords

In connection with our marketing, sales and Customer support functions, we may collect publicly-available information about our Customers and provisioned users, which is used for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

PURPOSESFOR COLLECTION
Processed Data is processed by Varisource on behalf of our Customers to provide them with the Service. Individual provisioned users whose Personal Information is contained in Processed Data should refer to the Customer’s privacy policy for an understanding of how Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed and otherwise processed by the Customer by use of the Service.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Varisource may share Personal Information with people within the company who have a “need to know” the information for business or legal reasons, for example, in order to carry out an administrative function, such as processing an invoice or supporting questions that you have submitted to Varisource. We may share Personal Information with third parties, including:
1. Government and regulatory authorities, for example to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to give the relevant individual notice of the disclosure, provided we are able to identify the individual and are lawfully able to do so;
2. for the purposes of seeking legal or other professional advice; and
3. in the event that we sell, buy or merge any business or assets, including to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets and their respective professional advisers.

We may also share anonymous or de-identified information with other third parties in connection with the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

RIGHT OF ACCESS
Pursuant to applicable law, you may have certain rights in relation to your Personal Information, including a right of access. If your Personal Information is apart of our Customer’s Processed Data, you should seek this access from the relevant Customer. If we control the Personal Information, we may require additional information to confirm your identity, which will only be used for that purpose.
