Contacting Us
We have designated a Data Protection Officer who is responsible for monitoring VGSL’s ongoing compliance of this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices or concerns of this site, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@vgsl.com.bd.
Whenever VGSL processes Personal Data, VGSL complies with the Principles (as each principle) applicable to VGSL’s role:
- Whenever we collect Personal Data directly from individuals, we shall inform an individual of the purpose for which we collect and use their Personal Data and the types of third parties to which VGSL discloses or may disclose that Personal Data. Please refer to our main Privacy Policy Statement for more information regarding our data handling practices. VGSL shall provide the individual with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Data. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Data to VGSL, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event, before VGSL uses or discloses the Personal Data for a purpose other than for which it was originally collected. VGSL may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
- Whenever VGSL collects Personal Data directly from individuals for marketing purposes, those individuals have the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their Personal Data is (1) to be disclosed to a third party or (2) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual by contacting our Data Protection Officer via email at privacy@vgsl.com.bd. For Sensitive Personal Information, VGSL will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly (opt-in) consent to the disclosure of the information to a non-Agent third party or for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. VGSL shall treat Sensitive Personal Information received from an individual the same as the individual would treat and identify it as Sensitive Personal Information. Agents, technology vendors and contractors of VGSL or affiliated companies may have access to an individual’s Personal Data on a need to know basis for the purpose of performing services on behalf of VGSL or providing or enabling elements of the services. All such agents, technology vendors and contractors who have access to such information are contractually required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for VMS or as otherwise required by law.
Accountability for Onward Transfer: Whenever we collect Personal Data directly from individuals, prior to disclosing Personal Data to a third party, we shall notify the individual of such disclosure and allow the individual the choice (opt-out) of such disclosure. VGSL shall ensure that any third party to which Personal Data may be disclosed agrees in writing to provide the same level of privacy protection as set forth in this policy. VGSL accountability for personal data that it receives in USA under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, VGSL remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner consistent with the Principles, unless VGSL proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
- Data Security: We shall take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. VGSL has put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, VGSL cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data on or transmitted via the Internet.
- Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation: We shall only process Personal Data in a way that is compatible with and relevant for the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, VGSL shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use.
We acknowledge the individual’s right to access their Personal Data. We shall allow an individual access to their Personal Data and allow the individual the opportunity to correct, amend or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. Individuals may contact our Data Protection Officer via email at privacy@vgsl.com.bd to request to access, correct, amend, or delete the personal information VGSL holds about you. In cases where VGSL is a Data Sub-Processor or Processor, individuals must contact the Data Processor or the Data Controller, as applicable.
