How you can contact us for more support

Please note that other companies in the Vista group may collect, use and share personal information, such as Movio and Powster. These companies have their own privacy policies, which are generally available from the relevant websites for those products and services.

This privacy policy also does not apply to information collection activities by our customers or on their behalf (“Customer Data”). For example, Vista provides software to our customers, and may process information on their behalf to provide those services. This privacy policy does not describe the processing of Customer Data, and we invite you to visit the applicable customer’s privacy policy for information about their privacy practices. Any questions you have relating to such information and your rights under data protection law should be directed to the customer, as the controller of that information, and not to Vista.

We use performance cookies like Google Analytics to recognise and count the number of visitors/users of our website and to see how such visitors/users move around our website when they are using it.

For more information about how we use profiling and analytics, please visit our Cookie Policy.

Transferring personal information globally

We operate on a global basis. Accordingly, your personal information may be transferred and stored in countries outside of the country you are located in, including the EU, New Zealand, and the United States of America, that are subject to different standards of data protection.

We will take appropriate steps ensure that transfers of personal information are in accordance with applicable law and carefully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests and transfers are limited to countries which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangement are in place to protect your privacy rights. To this end:

  • we ensure transfers within our group of companies will be covered by an agreement entered into by members of our group of companies (an intra‑group agreement) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred within our group of companies;
  • where we transfer your personal information outside our group of companies or to third parties who help provide our products and services, we obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your personal information. If required, this may include ensuring transfers are governed by the requirements of the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission, or other adequate transfer mechanisms; or
  • where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any personal information are disclosed.

You have a right to contact us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place (including a copy of relevant contractual commitments) to ensure the adequate protection of your personal information when this is transferred as mentioned above.

How we protect and store your information

Security

We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorised disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned.

Measures we take include:

  • placing confidentiality requirements on our employees and service providers;
  • ensuring that only authorised devices and authorised relevant employees with a work-related need for data processing have access to personal information and that any employee who changes roles within Vista does not retain access to personal information unless such personal information is required for their new role. 
  • when an employee leaves Vista, ensuring they do not have access to, or take with them, any personal information. Vista will ensure that no previous employees or external consultants have access rights to the Vista systems holding personal information;
  • destroying or permanently anonymising personal information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • following strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal information to prevent unauthorised access to it;
  • keeping our networks and systems up to date with regards to new versions, updates and patches on an ongoing basis;
  • using secure/encrypted transfer of personal information on the internet;
  • ensuring appropriate physical security of personal information, including:
    • fitting appropriate locks or other physical controls to the doors and windows of rooms where computers are kept;
    • destroying or removing all personal information from media such as CDs before disposing of them; and
    • ensuring that all personal information is removed from the hard drives of any used computers before disposing of them;
  • implementing best practice access controls, including:
    • that best practise password procedures must be in place, including using strong passwords; and
    • having industry standard hard drive encryption for internal or external hard drives; and
  • ensuring suitable firewall and infrastructure logging to ensure the ongoing logging of failed login attempts or attacks on Vista systems, including log of time, user, etc. and block access after a certain number of failed login attempts for each user;
  • protecting our networks, systems and logs against tampering;
  • having a vulnerability management program, including regular monitoring of potential vulnerabilities and performance of penetration tests of networks and Vista systems;
  • having a Security Incident Response Plan in place in the event of a serious security incident;
  • using secure communication transmission software (known as "secure sockets layer" or "SSL") that encrypts all information you input on our website before it is sent to us. SSL is an industry standard encryption protocol, which ensures that the information is reasonably protected against unauthorized interception; and
  • monitoring and keeping up to date with all security measures, processes and risk analyses.

As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect User IDs and passwords, please take appropriate measures to protect this information. Nevertheless, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information.

Storing your personal information

We will store your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this privacy policy. Where your information is no longer needed, we will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner within 20 business days. In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting requirements.

In specific circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.

Legal rights available to help manage your privacy

Subject to certain exemptions, and in some cases dependent upon the processing activity we are undertaking and where your personal information originates from, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us at privacy@vista.co. Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honour your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request. 

We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.

Right to access personal information

You have a right to request that we provide you with a copy of your personal information that we hold, and you have the right to be informed of; (a) the source of your personal information; (b) the purposes, legal basis and methods of processing; (c) the data controller’s identity; and (d) the entities or categories of entities to whom your personal information may be transferred.

Right to rectify or erase personal information

You have a right to request that we rectify inaccurate personal information. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the personal information before rectifying it.

You can also request that we erase your personal information in limited circumstances where:

  • you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); or
  • following a successful right to object (see right to object); or
  • it has been processed unlawfully; or

Right to restrict the processing of your personal information

You can ask us to restrict your personal information, but only where:

  • its accuracy is contested, to allow us to verify its accuracy; or
  • the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or
  • it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

  • to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Right to transfer your personal information

You can ask us to provide your personal information to you in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format, or you can ask to have it transferred directly to another data controller, but in each case only where:

  • the processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract with you; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to object to the processing of your personal information

You can object to any processing of your personal information which has our legitimate interests as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests.

If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

Right to object to how we use your personal information for direct marketing purposes

You can request that we change the manner in which we contact you for marketing purposes.

You can request that we do not transfer your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for the purposes of direct marketing or any other purposes.
