Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ValueMart, LLC ("ValueMart," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with our corporate website at valuemart.com (the "Site").

This policy covers the Site only. Individual ValueMart products and services — including those operated at their own domains — are governed by their own privacy policies, which may differ from this one.

Summary

The Site is an informational corporate website. It does not offer user accounts, contact forms, ecommerce, or behavioral advertising, and we do not ask you to submit personal information through it. The limited information we do receive comes from the ordinary technical operation of the web and from email you choose to send us.

Information collected automatically

Like nearly all websites, the Site is delivered by hosting and content delivery infrastructure that automatically receives and may log certain information that your browser transmits with every request. This can include:

• your IP address or a truncated or derived form of it;
• the date and time of the request;
• the page, file, or asset requested and the response status;
• your browser type, version, and operating system (the user agent);
• the referring page, where your browser provides one; and
• general, approximate location inferred from network information.

This information is generated as a normal part of serving a website and is used to deliver the Site, keep it available and secure, diagnose technical problems, and detect abuse. We do not use it to build advertising or marketing profiles, and we do not attempt to use it to identify individual visitors.

Analytics and advertising

The Site does not run third-party web analytics, advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking technologies. Our hosting provider may produce aggregate, infrastructure-level traffic and bandwidth statistics as part of operating the service.

Cookies

The Site does not set cookies for analytics, advertising, personalization, or tracking. If a strictly necessary cookie is ever required for the technical delivery or security of the Site — for example by our hosting provider — it would be used only for that purpose. Most browsers let you review, block, or delete cookies through their settings.

Hosting and service providers

We use third-party infrastructure providers to build, host, and deliver the Site. At the time of this policy's effective date, the Site is hosted on Netlify, and the source code and deployment history are hosted on GitHub. These providers process request and log data on our behalf in order to deliver the Site and maintain its security and availability, and they handle that data under their own privacy policies and terms.

We may change providers or add providers over time. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

Links to other websites

The Site links to websites operated by ValueMart products, and may link to other third-party websites. Once you follow such a link, you are on a separate website with its own privacy policy, terms, and data practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of websites we do not operate, and this policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Email and other communications

If you contact us by email — for example at the address published on the Site — we will receive your email address, your message, and any information you choose to include in it. We use that information to read, evaluate, and respond to your inquiry, and to keep a record of our correspondence.

Email correspondence is handled through our email service provider. Please do not send sensitive personal information, financial account details, or health information by email. We retain correspondence only for as long as it is useful for the purpose it was sent, or as needed for legitimate business or legal reasons.

How we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

• operate, maintain, and deliver the Site;
• protect the Site and our systems against abuse and security threats;
• diagnose and fix technical problems;
• respond to inquiries that people send to us; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Disclosure of information

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, or a lawful government request; to enforce our terms; to investigate potential violations, fraud, or security issues; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ValueMart, our users, or the public. If ValueMart is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Site and the limited information associated with it, including serving the Site over HTTPS and relying on established hosting providers. No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your choices

Because the Site does not create accounts or collect personal information beyond what is described above, there is generally little information for us to access, correct, or delete. If you have contacted us by email and would like us to delete that correspondence, or if you have a question about information associated with you, contact us using the details below and we will respond as appropriate under applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, our practices, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
