VLG Marketing LLC (“VLG,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) is dedicated to protecting the privacy rights of our data subjects (“users” or “you”). This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the ways we might collect, store, use, and manage information, including personally identifiable information (“PII”) provided, processed or collected in connection with our websites, games, or applications provided on a desktop or mobile platform (e.g., iOS and Android)—collectively, the “Services.”

How does this apply to my company?

This statement describes the manner in which VLG either controls or processes data provided by or collected by VLG through a myriad of marketing activities. The majority of our data is provided by and controlled by our customers or their partners. We do not share that controlled data to any third-party without written consent or at the direction of our customers or their partners.

How does this Policy apply to me as a user?

VLG is contracted to provide marketing services on behalf of its customers and their partners. As such, controlled data is shared with us in accordance with our and our customers’ privacy policies. Through the performance of our Services, we also collect and process data. As the controller of this data, we are obligated by contract to share that information with our customer on a “contract-to-hire” basis.

However, should a user wish to exclude their information, we will honor that wish and collected data for that specific user will not be shared with our customers. Similarly, if the user data is controlled by our customer but the user wishes to opt-out, we will record that request and share it with our customers. It would then be up to our customer, the data controller, to carry out the user’s requests.

What is a data controller and a data processor?

For the purposes of this Policy and in accordance with certain domestic and foreign regulations, we act as a “Data Controller” when collecting opt-in data from users. Opt-in data would include information gained with explicit permission from the user, including online behavior tracking and opt-in data submissions (i.e. submitted a form on a website that includes checking an opt-in box).

We take into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Measures taken will be reviewed and updated where necessary.

For the purposes of this Policy and in accordance with certain domestic and foreign regulations, we act as a “Data Processor” when retained by the Data Controller, either a VLG customer or third-party vendor. We take all steps necessary to protect the rights of the data subject when protecting PII, or processing data.

Please note that the scope of this Policy is limited to information controlled or processed by VLG through your use of the Service. VLG is not responsible for the actions of third-party people or companies, the content of their sites, the use of information you provide to them, or any products or services they may offer. Any link to those sites does not constitute our sponsorship of, or affiliation with, those people or companies.

By using the Service, you are expressing your agreement to this Policy and the processing of your data, including your personal information, in the manner provided in this Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. The policy only covers information through our site (www.vlgmarketing.com), our DialogEngine™ or other VLG-created applications. If you have questions or concerns about our privacy policy or practices, please contact us at privacy@wefightboredom.com.

VLG verifies that the use of personal data is consistent with the consent obtained. If personal data will be used for a purpose other than that originally disclosed to the individual, we acquire additional consent.

We do not warrant or represent that your information will be protected against loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.

Inclusion of a similar statement and information in an appropriate place within each Mobile App.

Creation and implementation of a procedure for prompt response to consumer complaints concerning accessibility of the Website and Mobile Apps.

Appropriate training of The Company’s information technology staff in the requirements of the ITA Standard and this Policy, with the first training to be completed for all web development staff no later than November 30, 2021.

Quarterly reporting to Senior Officer concerning the status of implementation of this Policy.

This Final Accessibility Plan shall describe in reasonable detail how the Company will accomplish these goals by March 31, 2022.

In addition, the Final Accessibility Plan will include provisions for the following:

Ensuring that any newly installed third-party plug-ins used in the Website substantially conform to WCAG 2.1, Level AA and, no later than 36 months from the date of the plan, and replacing all existing third-party plug-ins with WCAG 2.1, Level AA conforming plug-ins.

Regular testing of the Website and Mobile Apps with commercially available software tools to determine whether they meet the requirements of the ITA Standard.
