When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Vifa uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested or to consider a visitor for a particular job). When visitors use our website to order products, or to request information about them, we may use the individual information as we would use the same information obtained off-line - for example, to evaluate your needs and contact you regarding additional products, information or services that we believe you may find useful. You have the right to choose not to receive this information by notifying us of your preference. Such processing may include profiling for behavioural marketing purposes with your prior consent based on the GDPR art. 6(1)(a).

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described here unless otherwise required by applicable laws.


We do not sell individual information obtained on-line about our visitors. And, we will not disclose the personal information you provide to us via the website to parties unaffiliated with Vifa unless you specifically authorize it, we believe it is reasonably required by law or we believe that disclosure is reasonably required to protect the safety of customers, employees or property.
Vifa sometimes uses third party contractors, including Vifa in the USA, to perform services such as handling online product purchases and shipping. In such instances, your personal information may be shared with such third parties to comply with your request but only for performing services on behalf of Vifa and in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, if another company acquires Vifa, your personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred to the successor company.


Your personal data may be transferred to data controllers or data processors, which are located in countries outside the EU/EEA not ensuring an adequate level of data protection. This includes Vifa in the USA. Such transfers will however be adequately safeguarded by Vifa via the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
