At vRgyl, protecting your privacy is foundational to how we build human-centered, AI-powered experiences. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information while prioritizing data sovereignty, transparency, and user agency.
By engaging with vRgyl—including visiting our websites, creating an account, or using our services—you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
1. Who We Are & Scope
This policy applies to vRgyl, a U.S.-registered organization with operations supported by privacy-forward partners across North America. It covers personal information collected when you:
- Visit our websites, applications, or community spaces.
- Create or manage an account with vRgyl.
- Use our AI-driven tools, marketplace, or collaborative services.
- Engage with us for support, research, or partnership opportunities.
2. Information We Collect
Account & Identity Data
We collect identifiers such as your name, email address, preferred pronouns, organization, and other contact details you provide when creating or updating an account.
Platform & Usage Data
To improve performance and security, we collect device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system), log files, feature interactions, and settings you configure. We limit the collection of usage data to what is necessary to deliver core services.
Payment, Compliance & Support Data
If you transact with vRgyl or our payment partners (such as Stripe), we process billing details, transaction records, and documentation required to satisfy Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-money laundering, and platform integrity obligations.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use privacy-aware analytics and functional cookies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, and understand product adoption. You may adjust your browser settings to limit cookies, but doing so may affect some features.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Deliver and personalize services: tailor recommendations, automate workflows, and connect you with relevant opportunities.
- Maintain trust and safety: detect abuse, secure accounts, and uphold community standards.
- Process payments: fulfill purchases, subscriptions, and royalty distributions through audited financial partners.
- Communicate with you: send service updates, respond to inquiries, and share insights you opt in to receive.
- Advance our roadmap responsibly: analyze aggregated trends to inform product development without identifying individual users.
4. Responsible AI & Automated Decision-Making
vRgyl uses machine learning to surface recommendations and automate tasks. We embed human oversight into model development, apply bias assessments, and continuously evaluate outcomes for fairness and accessibility. You may request a description of how an automated decision affected you or ask for a human review where feasible.
5. Data Sovereignty & International Transfers
- Primary data centers are located in privacy-forward jurisdictions within Canada and the United States.
- When cross-border transfers occur, we rely on contractual safeguards and regulatory frameworks (including GDPR Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable).
- We strive to minimize data movement and maintain region-specific storage when legally or contractually required.
6. Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Service providers that help us operate, secure, and support our platform under strict confidentiality obligations.
- Payment processors and financial institutions that enable compliant transactions.
- Regulators or law enforcement when legally compelled or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our community.
- Partners you authorize for integrations, collaborations, or events.
7. Data Security & Retention
We employ layered security controls, including encryption in transit and at rest, access management, network monitoring, and regular assessments. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to deliver services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
8. Your Rights & Controls
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, as well as the right to portability and to withdraw consent for non-essential uses. Submit requests to privacy@vrgyl.org, and we will respond in accordance with applicable laws.
9. Third-Party Links & Services
Our services may link to external sites or integrate third-party tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before providing personal information to third parties.
10. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product changes, evolving regulations, or new privacy commitments. Significant updates will be announced via in-product notices or email. The "Effective Date" above indicates the latest revision.
