The purpose of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is to inform you about our privacy practices, including how we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information (as defined herein). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it while you browse our website, as well as other websites, applications, and services provided by Valnet (collectively, “Site” or individually “Site”).

This Privacy Policy was last updated on Jan 26, 2025.

UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Policy is effective as of the “Updated” date at the top of this page. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes to this Policy will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site, unless stated otherwise. We may also notify you of changes through our services or by other means we find appropriate, ensuring our users are always informed about what data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. By submitting your Personal Information to us, registering, or using any services we offer, or interacting with us voluntarily, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as outlined in this Policy, as amended from time to time.

DEFINITION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

“Personal Information” refers to information about an individual that can be used to identify them. This may include, without limitation, name, mailing address (including postal code), email address, phone number, and payment information.

Personal Information does not include business contact information used solely for communicating with you in connection with your work, business, or profession, such as, without limitation, name, job title, office address, office phone number, office fax number, or office email address.

Personal Information also does not include information that has been anonymized or collected in a manner that makes it unlikely that the information could be used to identify an individual, either alone or in combination with other information.

YOUR CONSENT TO COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE

We collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information with your consent, or as permitted or required by applicable privacy laws. The manner in which we obtain your consent (i.e., the forms we use) will depend on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the information collected. Subject to applicable laws, your consent may be express or implied, depending on the situation and the sensitivity of the Personal Information involved.

By choosing to provide Personal Information to us, we assume you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, as we deem appropriate.

If you wish to withdraw your consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information, please contact us at gotechline.com. However, before we process your consent withdrawal, we may require proof of identity. In some cases, withdrawing your consent may mean we can no longer provide certain products or services.

If you provide us with Personal Information about another individual, you are responsible for obtaining that individual’s consent for us to collect, use, and disclose their information as described in this Privacy Policy in all applicable circumstances.
