3.3.Website Functionality and Analytics
● Site Performance and Security: Webflow, our hosting platform, and/or essential cookies may capture technical data such as IP addresses or browser info to ensure the site operates reliably and securely.
● Limited Tracking: We do not set non-essential cookies by default.

● Potential Client or Partner Reviews: If you contact us expressing an interest in engaging our services, we may collect and review the information you provide to assess potential business opportunities.
● Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or similar corporate transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection measures.
4.How We Share Your Information
Victus values your privacy and only shares your personal data in limited circumstances, consistent with the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. Specifically, we may disclose your information in the following ways:
4.1.Service Providers and Business Partners:
● Website Hosting & Infrastructure: Our Website is hosted on Webflow, which leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudflare. These providers may handle technical data (e.g., server logs) in the course of delivering their hosting and security services.
● Email Marketing & Form Submissions: If you subscribe to our newsletter or complete a contact form integrated with a third-party tool like Mailchimp, that provider will receive the personal data necessary to process and manage your subscription or inquiry.

● Regulators and Authorities: We may disclose personal information to governmental agencies, regulators, or law enforcement as required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or other legal process.
● Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share personal data if necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or others (e.g., in cases of suspected fraud or security issues).
4.3.Corporate Transactions
● Business Transfers: If Victus is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the buyer or other successor entity. Should such a transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure the recipient honors this Privacy Notice or provides equivalent safeguards. If we hold your contact details, we will also make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such transfer and its potential impact on your personal information.
4.4.Consent or Direction
● At Your Request: We may share your personal data with additional parties when you specifically request or authorize it (for example, if you direct us to introduce you to one of our partners).
4.5.Aggregated or De-Identified Information:
● Analytics and Reporting: We may compile usage statistics or aggregate anonymized data (which cannot identify you personally) for internal analytics, administrative reporting, or to improve our Website. Such aggregated information may also be shared with potential partners or the public to demonstrate usage trends while maintaining your anonymity.
Outside of these limited instances, Victus does not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal data with unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing or commercial purposes. If we ever need to share your data beyond these parameters, we will notify you and, where required by law, seek your consent.
We share data under appropriate lawful bases recognized by the GDPR—such as your consent (for newsletters) or our legitimate interests (for hosting, security, or basic business operations). If
our providers or partners are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we rely on suitable safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your personal data.
5.How We Protect Your Information
Victus is committed to safeguarding your personal information and employs a variety of technical, organizational, and administrative security measures to help protect against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Specifically, we use:
5.1.Technical Safeguards
● Secure Hosting Environment: Our Website is hosted on Webflow, which uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudflare for infrastructure. These industry-leading providers maintain robust security measures (e.g., firewalls, monitoring, access controls) to guard against attacks.
● Data Transfer Protections: Where feasible, our Website and integrated form submissions use encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) to help ensure data in transit remains confidential.
● Limited Access: Only authorized personnel and trusted third-party service providers can access personal data, and such access is restricted to what is necessary for legitimate business purposes.
5.2.Organizational Measures
● Staff Training: We ensure that relevant team members understand best practices for data privacy and security, including how to handle inquiries and maintain the confidentiality of collected data.
● Third-Party Due Diligence: Before engaging any new parties who may handle personal data on our behalf, we assess their security policies and practices to ensure they meet or exceed our standards.
5.3.Incident Response
● Monitoring & Alerts: We monitor our systems and infrastructure for unusual activity. In the event of a suspected data breach or security incident, we respond promptly to contain the issue.
● Notification: If a breach is confirmed to pose risks to your rights or freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority (and affected individuals if required by law) within the applicable legal timelines.
5.4.No Absolute Guarantee
● Despite our best efforts, no method of data storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, you acknowledge that you share information at your own risk.
By implementing these measures, Victus seeks to maintain a high standard of security and reduce the risk of data compromise. We regularly review and update our practices to keep pace with changes in technology, business operations, and regulatory requirements.
6.How Long We Retain Your Information
Victus will not retain your personal data for longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected unless retention is required or permitted by law. Specifically:
6.1.Website Inquiries & Communication
● If you contact us via our Website forms or by email, we generally retain your personal information for as long as needed to address your request, inquiry, or complaint. Afterward, we may store records for record-keeping and audit obligations or for defending legal claims.
6.2.Newsletter and Marketing Lists
● Subscriptions: If you subscribe to our newsletter or other marketing messages, we keep your email address and related subscription data until you opt out or otherwise request deletion. We may also periodically remove inactive or undeliverable addresses from our lists.

6.3.Compliance & Legal Obligations
● Regulatory Requirements: Certain data may be retained for a legally mandated period if those obligations arise in future engagement or offline contexts.
● Litigation & Dispute Resolution: We may retain data if we believe it is necessary for handling any actual or potential legal disputes or to enforce our agreements. 6.4.Aggregate or Anonymized Data
● Usage Analytics: Information that has been anonymized or aggregated may be retained indefinitely to help us analyze and improve our Website or for other legitimate business purposes. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
After the expiration of the relevant retention period, or once the data is no longer needed for any of the above purposes, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information in accordance with our data retention and deletion policies. If you have questions about specific retention times for particular types of data, please contact us using the details provided in the “How to Contact Us” сlause of this Privacy Notice.
7.Your Rights
Depending on where you reside, applicable data protection laws (such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) may grant you specific rights with respect to your personal information. While these rights can vary by jurisdiction, Victus generally strives to honor the following principles, defined under the GDPR:
7.1.Right of Access. You have the right to request confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of that data, along with information about how and why it is processed.
7.2.Right to Rectification. If you believe that the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, you can request that we correct or update it.
7.3.Right to Erasure (the "Right to be Forgotten"). Under certain circumstances—such as when your information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent (if our lawful basis was consent)—you can request that we delete your personal data.
7.4.Right to Restrict Processing. You may ask us to restrict or "pause" the processing of your personal data in situations where you contest its accuracy or object to our use of it. If we restrict processing, we will store your data but generally not use it until the issue is resolved.
7.5.Right to Object. If we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis for processing, you have the right to object to such processing if it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You can also opt out of any direct marketing communications at any time.
7.6.Right to Data Portability. Where we are processing your personal data based on consent or a contract, you have the right to request a copy of the data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and – where technically feasible – ask us to transmit it to another controller.
7.7.Right to Withdraw Consent. If you have given us consent for any specific processing activities, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7.8.Right to Lodge a Complaint. If you believe we have violated your data protection rights, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for example, in the EU country where you live or work). We invite you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.
8.How you can exercise your rights
8.1.To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have questions about your data rights in general, you may contact us at the details set out in the "How to Contact Us" clause 10.4. We may request specific information from you to verify your identity and process your request.
8.2.We will respond within applicable legal timeframes. Please note that some rights may be limited if fulfilling your request would impair the rights of others, override compelling public interest considerations, or if we are otherwise legally or contractually required to retain the data.
8.3.If you believe we have failed to respect your data protection rights or if you have any unresolved concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In particular, if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom
or Switzerland, you may contact the supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or where you believe the infringement occurred.
8.4.Additionally, you may have the right to seek a judicial remedy or compensation if you suffer damage as a result of an infringement of applicable data protection laws. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly. However, this does not limit your ability to file a complaint or seek other forms of legal relief.

9.1.Our Website and related services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18 or those who have not reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

We will take immediate steps to delete the data from our records or otherwise address the situation in compliance with applicable law.
