Security of personal data

Personal data collected by Vica LLC may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States, and in any other country where Vica LLC or service providers operate facilities. These parties may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your information requests, meeting your requests, and the provision of support services.

This includes using standard contractual clauses for transfers of personal information between our companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with their respective data protection laws and regulations. These standard contractual clauses can be provided upon request.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
