We believe that protecting the security of your Personal Information is very important. Therefore, we have put strong security measures in place to attempt to protect your Personal Information. Access to Personal Information is limited to Vatrix.com employees or other authorized individuals, and a limited number of our fulfillment partners. Identities are verified by internal network access rules and application username/password pairs. Data fields that identify individuals are separated from non-sensitive data fields. Data identifying Personal Information is encrypted through use of industry standard AES encryption methods and practices. Data decryption keys are kept physically separate from encryption keys and encrypted data. Records are marked with tamper-proof authentication digests.

VATRIX.com requires internal users to use VATRIX.com’s standardized methods of data transfer, encryption and storage. We encourage external parties, service providers and vendors to use our standardized methods of data transfer, encryption and storage, or an equivalent method.

We also monitor hardware and software logs for operational compliance with security policies. VATRIX.com quarantines data that arrives on a channel not approved in the policy until its source and disposition can be determined in accordance with the security policy. Consequences of non-compliance range from delay in reporting response times to refusal to accept or verify data, in accordance with penalties specified by contract.

Barriers erected to prevent potential breaches of secure information include a sophisticated security system, internal audits, internal policies/procedures and a daily backup of all information. The Director of Technology is responsible for all aspects of secure information within VATRIX.com.

No service provider/vendor/external party should be able to decrypt the encrypted data of any other service provider/vendor/external party should data be misdelivered.

VATRIX.com monitors data center metrics on approximately a weekly basis. Network vulnerability testing and standard NOC monitoring are provided by the data center administration staff, with options for performing third-party security audits on demand. VATRIX.com performs full recovery tests prior to live deployment of a new application or server system. VATRIX.com performs recovery tests of backup media on a monthly to quarterly schedule to assure that existing backup regimes have created working recovery sets.

VATRIX.com actively monitors current and upcoming regulatory and compliance issues through outside legal resources.

This section of the VATRIX Privacy Policy pertain to residents in California. VATRIX respects and complies with California’s California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) legislation, meaning we afford certain data privacy rights to consumers who reside in California.

For our customers who reside in California, we afford certain rights, such as:

Ability to contact VATRIX and request VATRIX to not sell or share any personally identifiable information. Please note that VATRIX already never sells your data, but in compliance with California law, we want consumers to be certain that they have these rights available to them;

• • Ability to contact VATRIX and request personal information deletion;
  • Protection from any form of discrimination when exercising consumer rights afforded to you via the CCPA, such as personal information deletion request;
  • Verification of identity prior to personal information deletion to ensure consumer identity;

These consumer rights are afforded to residents of California by the California Consumer Privacy Act. VATRIX is completely committed to the data privacy and protection of consumers and we pride ourselves on how we treat consumer data.

Please read the sections below if you are a resident of California and want to learn more about your data privacy rights with VATRIX.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

As a resident of California, you have the ability to request VATRIX to not sell or share your personal information. Please note that VATRIX does not and never has sold any private data or personally identifiable information to any third parties or other organizations. We use consumer data and personal information strictly in house to manage our business and to send out communications to customers.

If you wish to opt out of communications, you also have the ability to do this by methods explained above in the “Opt-Out of Communications” section.

Right to Deletion

Residents of California have the right to deletion of their personal information from VATRIX servers. All personal information is protected and is never sold to any third parties or outside organizations and is used strictly for managing our business and sending out communications to customers, such as order summaries, product information and new offers. However, if you wish to have your personal information deleted, you absolutely can request this.

To request your personal information to be deleted, please email contact@VATRIX.com at any time with subject line “DELETE MY DATA” to request for your personal information to be permanently deleted. VATRIX will honor this request of every resident of California in full compliance of the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Protection from Discrimination

VATRIX cooperates fully with the California Consumer Privacy Act. California residents can, at any time, request for their personal information to be deleted, and VATRIX will fully comply without any discrimination or retaliation whatsoever. We fully respect and support data privacy laws.

Verification of Identity for Residents of California

VATRIX needs to verify the identity of all California residents who request of us data deletion in order to be in compliance with California’s data privacy laws. This means that we will need to verify your identity via one of a few methods prior to moving forward with permanent personal information deletion.

When a California resident sends an email requesting their data to be deleted, VATRIX will respond with a verification of identity request, and this must be completed prior to data deletion. This is for both the consumer’s and VATRIX’s protection and compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act.
