Privacy Policy

Preamble

VinoCheck Software Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (“VinoCheck” or “we”) are
committed to protecting the privacy of individuals whose personal data we collect and process
(“you” or “your”). VinoCheck may collect personal data from other businesses, visitors to our
website, individuals who request information, and job applicants. This Privacy Policy describes
how we collect, use, and disclose personal data, and the choices VinoCheck offers regarding its
collection and use of personal data.
This Privacy Policy does not address our privacy practices relating to VinoCheck employees.
This Privacy Policy is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not
otherwise provided by law.

 

Our Role in Processing Personal Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal
data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing
personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes
personal data on behalf of a controller subject to the controller’s instructions.
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the “processer” of
personal data. We are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to
personal data we process on behalf of our customers, so we recommend directing any requests to
the relevant customer and reviewing their respective privacy policies.
