There are times, however, when we may seek information from you, about yourself or someone you know, such as name, email address and/or home address.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. Where we have entered into a contract with you, such as to provide you with our VinciSmile goods and services, we will process your information to perform that contract. In other circumstances we may process your information for the legitimate business interests of us such as marketing or improving our products and services, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights. We will make it clear to you at the time of collection what our legitimate interests are.
We do use a robust combination of data sources (online, orders, customers, etc.) To get a full picture of our product and marketing efforts. This data is only for our efforts and we do not share your information with other businesses for them to use for purposes other than their work with us.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

We partner with other businesses to assist us in our marketing, communications, storage, and sales efforts, and may share information about you for these purposes. These partners are not allowed to use your information for any purpose other than doing business with us. A list of our current service providers is available by contacting info@VinciSmile.com:

We may also disclose personal information about you if we believe that doing so is legally required or is necessary to protect our property or other legal rights (including but not limited to enforcement of our agreements or the rights of property of others).
We may also share your information if you consent to us doing so.

We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with VinciSmile goods and services or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
