PRIVACY POLICY

Effective from 04.10.2024

At VIKA, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle information collected through email submissions and our approach to intellectual property.

Information Collection and Use

When you submit inquiries or requests via email, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any details you provide. This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries and providing our consultancy services. Should we wish to discuss your work with a third party, we’ll always contact you and request permission. Should we wish to recommend a third party is involved with your project, the consultation process, or investment readiness, we will contact you to arrange a warm introduction.

Intellectual Property

Any ideas, suggestions, or materials shared with us via email may be subject to intellectual property considerations. By submitting information, you grant us the right to use it for consultancy purposes while ensuring that your original contributions remain your property. We will not disclose or use your proprietary information without your consent.

DATA SECURITY

GDPR policies will be built into contracts created to suit the specifics of each project. In short, any data or intellectual property you share is transferred at your own risk. However, any data that VIKA hold will be held securely. Should you have any particular requirements for the sharing or storage of data, please ensure this is communicated clearly and in writing before completion of any contracts, to ensure protection for all parties.

Respect for Non-Working Hours

We respect your time and personal boundaries, and advocate for a healthy work-life balance. Our standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:30-17:00. While we may occasionally respond to emails outside of these hours, we will never expect communications from you or your team outside of the hours that work for you, your business, and your commitments beyond the work place.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes through email or by posting a notice on our website.
