This Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy") applies to Virtuox.net online interface, i.e., website, mobile applications, electronic services, and social networking sites (collectively, the "Site") owned and operated by VirtuOx, Inc. (“VirtuOx” or “Company”), and any Company affiliate or subsidiary online interface that links to this Privacy Policy.
YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY TO LEARN ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU AND HOW WE USE THAT INFORMATION. BY USING THE SERVICES YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT VIRTUOX AND ALL ASSOCIATED SERVICES AND SYSTEMS ARE HOUSED ON SERVERS IN THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, INFORMATION WE COLLECT (INCLUDING COOKIES) ARE PROCESSED AND STORED IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH MAY NOT OFFER THE SAME LEVEL OF PRIVACY PROTECTION AS THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU RESIDE OR ARE A CITIZEN. BY USING THE SITE AND PROVIDING INFORMATION TO US, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER TO AND PROCESSING OF THE INFORMATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect (directly or indirectly) and why we collect it, what we do with the information we collect and how you can manage your personal information. You may download a copy of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is considered “protected health information” (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or its implementing regulations (the “HIPAA Rules”). For more information about how we may use and disclose your medical information under the HIPAA Rules, please refer to our NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES.
Our site may contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. We do not have control over the information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. You should consult the privacy policy of these other sites to learn how your privacy is protected.
Personally Identifiable Information You Provide: We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you use our services, such as when you register for our services, participate in a survey, provide a testimonial, participate in an interactive feature or forum (such as chat features), or contact us with a question, comment, or request. This personally identifiable information that you provide might include, for instance, your name, address, age, birth date, gender, email address, phone number, photo, social media account ID, zip code, education, professional experience, demographic information, information about your health and/or medical conditions, product and services usage and preferences.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information We May Collect: Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not, in itself, identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon the portion(s) of the websites that you visit. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web (“Web”). Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.
Information We Receive from Third Parties: We may combine the information we collect from you with information that we receive about you from other sources, such as public databases, providers of demographic information, joint marketing partners, social media platforms, people with whom you are connected on social media platforms, and other third parties.
Below are some examples of the personal information we may collect through the Site:
We may link together different types of information or link information to personal information. If linked information directly or indirectly identifies an individual person, we treat the linked information as personal information. In this Privacy Policy, to “process” personal information means to perform any operation on personal information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organizing, storing, adapting, use, disclosure, combining, erasing or destroying. Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of the contract between us and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or Services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case.
We may collect certain information via third-party analytics services, which may collect your non-sensitive user information. This may include: the information you provide us with, your session ID, your user ID, and conversion data. This information provides us with tools to calculate the numbers and frequency of visitors on the Site and to understand how you and other users use the Site to improve your experience.
We also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers. This information is logged and used for purposes such as to help diagnose technical problems and to administer our Site so that we can constantly improve it.
We use Cookies to track how you use the Site by providing usage statistics. Cookies are also used to allow product authentication to you based upon your browsing history and previous visits to the Site. Information supplied to us using cookies helps us to provide a better online experience to our visitors and users and send marketing communications to them, as the case may be. While this information on its own may not constitute your personal information, we may combine the information we collect via Cookies with personal data that we have collected from you to learn more about how you use the Site to improve them.
We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them). To make it easier for you to understand why we need them, the Cookies we use on the Site can be grouped into the following categories:
To enhance our content and to deliver a better online experience for our users, we sometimes embed images and videos from other websites on the Site. We currently use and may in future use content from websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. You may be presented with Cookies from these third-party websites. Please note that we do not control these Cookies. The privacy practices of these third parties will be governed by the third parties’ own privacy statements or policies. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by these third parties, using cookies or other means. You should consult and review the relevant third-party privacy statement or policy for information on how these cookies are used and how you can control them.
We also use Google, a third-party analytics provider, to collect information about Services usage and the users of the Site, including demographic and interest-level information. Google uses cookies in order to collect demographic and interest-level information and usage information from users that visit the Site, including information about the pages where users enter and exit the Site and what pages users view on the Site, time spent, browser, operating system, and IP address. Cookies allow Google to recognize a user when a user visits the Site and when the user visits other websites. Google uses the information it collects from the Site and other websites to share with us and other website operators’ information about users including age range, gender, geographic regions, general interests, and details about devices used to visit websites and purchase items. We do not link information we receive from Google with any of your personal information. For more information regarding Google’s use of cookies, and collection and use of information, see the Google Privacy Policy (available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en). If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, please visit the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout ).
VirtuOx web pages may use other technologies such as web beacons to help deliver cookies on the Site and count users who have visited those websites. We also may include web beacons in our promotional email or newsletters to determine whether you open and act on them as well as for statistical purposes.
In addition to standard cookies and web beacons, the Site can also use other similar technologies to store and read data files on your computer. This is typically done to maintain your preferences or to improve speed and performance by storing certain files locally.
Cookies can be controlled, blocked or restricted through your web browser settings. Information on how to do this can be found within the Help section of your browser. All Cookies are browser specific. Therefore, if you use multiple browsers or devices to access websites, you will need to manage your cookie preferences across these environments.
If you are using a mobile device to access the Site, you will need to refer to your instruction manual or other help/settings resource to find out how you can control cookies on your device.
Please note: If you restrict, disable or block any or all Cookies from your web browser or mobile or other device, the Site may not operate properly, and you may not have access to the Site available through the Site. VirtuOx shall not be liable for any impossibility to use the Site or degraded functioning thereof, where such are caused by your settings and choices regarding cookies.
To learn more about cookies and web beacons, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Do Not Track: Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including VirtuOx, do not respond to DNT signals.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for unrelated purposes, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
VirtuOx uses your personal information for the following purposes based on our legitimate interests
We also use personal information when necessary for the performance of a contract in the following contexts:

Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions available here: Text Messaging Terms and Conditions.
We may also use your personal data when necessary to comply with legal obligations.
We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies on any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may also transfer any data we collect in connection with a corporate change such as a merger, our acquisition by another company, or a partial or total sale of our assets (including as part of a bankruptcy proceeding).
California Shine the Light Law: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users who are California residents to opt out of a company sharing their personally identifiable information with third parties for direct marketing purposes or to obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and you wish to make such a request, please send an e-mail with “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line to privacy@virtuox.net or write us at: VirtuOx Inc., Attn: Privacy Officer, 5850 Coral Ridge Drive, Suite 304, Coral Springs, FL 33076

The Site may provide you with advertisements, including in-text link ads. Information we collect through cookies and other technologies that does not by itself identify you is used to assist us in delivering you relevant ads when you are on a webpage. We may work with third-party advertising networks and advertisers who help deliver these ads to you and who may collect information about your browsing activity over time and across different sites in order to make this advertising more relevant. We also use cookies to improve the performance of our advertising on other websites. Although you may not opt out of receiving online advertisements generally, you may control the collection of data on our Site used for targeted Virtuox.net advertising during your visits to other websites. To opt-out of Virtuox.net data collection for targeted advertising on other sites, see "Cookies" under the section "What are my opt-out rights?"
Virtuox.net advertises online (e.g., pages within our Sites and mobile apps through company managed social media presences, and on other sites and mobile apps not affiliated with Virtuox.net) and offline (e.g. through call centers, and direct marketing). In order to understand how advertising performs, we may collect certain information on our Sites and other sites and mobile apps through our advertising service providers using cookies, IP addresses, and other technologies. The collected information may include the number of page visits, pages viewed on our Sites, search engine referrals, browsing activities over time and across other sites following your visit to one of our Sites or apps, and responses to advertisements and promotions on the Sites and on sites and apps where we advertise.
The Site uses information described in this Privacy Policy to help advertise our products and services in a variety of ways. We use such information to:
In order to help make our advertising informative and useful, we may use information about your relationship with us (such as types of services, transactional information or the state in which you reside) to help determine which advertisements or offers to present to you.
We or our advertising service providers may use certain information about your activities on our Sites, such as pages visited and search key words entered to help determine which of our advertisements or offers may be of interest to you. We limit access and collection of information for specific purposes by advertising service providers. We may use this online information for online and offline advertising, which we may feel will be a benefit to you.
Virtuox.net may contract with advertising companies to advertise our products and services on sites and mobile apps not affiliated with us. We may use Aggregated and De-identified Data and information provided by you to these third-party sites and mobile apps to select which of our advertisements or offers may appeal to you, display them to you and monitor your responses. Third Party sites and mobile apps are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Please visit the individual sites and mobile apps for additional information on their data and privacy practices and opt out policies.
Some of our tailored ads are online behavioral advertising and may be served using data collected by third party providers. Ads served on our behalf by these companies do not contain unencrypted personal information and we limit the use of information by companies that serve our ads.
You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result.
If you no longer wish to receive our promotional communications, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each communication or by emailing or calling us with the information contained on our contact page.
We will retain user-provided data for as long as you use the Site and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you'd like to access, update, or delete user-provided data that you have provided via the Site, please contact us at corporate@virtuox.net or the address below and we will respond in a reasonable time. Before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies, or delete any information, however, we may ask you to verify your identity. Please note that some or all of the user-provided data may be required in order for the Site to function properly, and we may be required to retain certain information by law.
To protect Personal Data from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with applicable federal and state laws. These measures may include device safeguards and secured files and buildings as well as oversight of our third-party service providers to ensure information remains confidential and secure. While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us (both during and once we receive it), no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
If the Company provides you with a username and password to access portions of the Site, the Company disclaims any responsibility for a breach of privacy as a result of your willingly or inadvertently disclosing your username and password to others.
If you have any questions about security on our website, you can e-mail us at corporate@virtuox.net
This Section applies if you are subject to the "California Consumer Privacy Act" (“CCPA”) or other US state statutes relating to the rights of individuals regarding the processing of personal information (collectively “State Privacy Laws”).
Our Services collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“personal information”). In particular, the Site collects or may have collected in the last twelve (12) months the categories of personal information as described in Section 2 above.
We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the business purposes indicated in Section 5 above.
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for business purposes. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. We share your personal information with the categories of third parties listed in Section 6 above.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose:
We do not sell personal information. In the event that we do sell any personal information, we will update this Privacy Policy to list the categories of consumers’ personal information sold.
Certain US state privacy laws provide residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described above, please complete and email us a copy of this Verifiable Consumer Request Form to privacy@virtuox.net.
Only you, or a person registered with your jurisdiction’s Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We do our best to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights as described above.
In response to Vermont regulations, we will automatically treat accounts with Vermont billing addresses as if you requested, we not share your information with nonaffiliated third parties, and that we limit the information we share with our affiliates. If we disclose information about you to the nonaffiliated third parties with whom we have joint marketing agreements, we will only disclose your name, address, other contact information, and information about our transaction and experiences with you.
