• Service providers under contract with AAG Ventures who help with our business operations; and
• Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information

Such third parties have access to Personal Information as needed to perform their functions, or as requested by you, but they are not allowed to use it for other purposes. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information collected through the Site or Platform.

Aggregated Research. We may also share aggregated non-identifiable information about our customers with third parties in order to help market our products and develop new vendor and customer relationships.

If this occurs, the successor company would have access to the information we collect, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended. For clarity, we may disclose your Personal Information if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of any or all of our business and/or our assets to such third parties, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to:

Security

We use commercially suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect on our Site and through the Platform.

We also limit access to Personal Information we receive to our employees, contractors, professional advisors and Business Partners (as defined below) who need access to that information in order to do their jobs or provide services to us. However, no data protection procedures are entirely infallible. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure. Your transmission of data to our Site or Platform thus is done entirely at your own risk.

Business Partners

We use and work with certain third party application and technology companies (“Business Partners”) to provide hosting, payment processing, marketing, database integration, technology development, business intelligence and analytics, shipping and fulfillment and other services for us or for our Users. These Business Partners may have access to or process your information for the purpose of providing those services. Some 6 functionality in the Platform uses white-labelling techniques to serve content from Business Partners while providing the look and feel of our Platform. Please note that, in some instances, you are providing your information to these third parties acting on behalf of AAG Ventures. We have discussed certain of our Business Partners in more detail below.

Payment Processors

AAG Ventures does not collect credit and debit card information directly through the Site and/or Platform and kindly asks you not to share this information with us when submitting requests for additional information. AAG Ventures does partner with third-party payment card processors (“Payment Processor”) so that Users may process online transactions with their customers.

For Users accepting payments through the Platform using one of our Payment Processors, please note that your customers’ credit and debit card information (number, expiration date, security code) is provided directly to the Payment Processor and is stored by the Payment Processor and not by you or by AAG Ventures, and as such, it is important to review the Payment Processor’s privacy policy and terms to understand its information security practices. The Payment Processor may share all or some of the following information with you (and not AAG Ventures) so that you may complete orders to your customers: first and last name, physical address, email address, phone number and information about the transaction and the items purchased. Here are links to the policies of the current Payment Processors we make available to you through the Platform

Your Compliance with the GDPR. The Platform is built on the following core principles which form the bedrock of the GDPR.

• Data Isolation. All User transactions and engagements are separated from personal data through a "link". This concept is a pre-requisite to compliance with the GDPR and is called pseudonymization, which is fully implemented in the Platform to ensure the isolation of User data, including User Customer Data and User Business Information, from Personal Information.
• Data Protection. All of your data in the Platform, including User Customer Data and User Business Information, has privacy controls that can be managed by you when operating your business. All traffic on the Platform, including e-commerce, is based on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
• Data Audit. The Platform may be used for reporting and audit of your data, including User Customer Data and User Business Information.
• Data Consent. All marketing and transactional features of the Platform rely on opt-in and opt-out features.
• Data Deletion. The GDPR imposes a responsibility on businesses to allow their consumers to request that certain of their personal data is deleted upon request. In the Platform, there is a simple mechanism to eliminate User Customer Data while still providing sales and marketing analytics.
• Virtual Compliance Officer. The GDPR requires every business to appoint a compliance officer reachable by any consumer. The Platform can provide you with a simple way to establish a virtual compliance contact for your business.
• Features for Managing User Customer Data.The Platform provides you and your customers a number of choices:
  • You can use the Platform to select a customer and select applicable data to extract and package in a format ready to e-mail to your customers.
  • Your customers can be provided access to a portal where they are able to access and review the personal data they provided to you, as well as their order history.
  • Your customers can also use a portal to request deletion of their personal data. Following this deletion request, the Platform will allow you to purge the data of selected customers.
  • The Platform permits you to establish policies that control the expiration interval for customer order histories based on “last order”
