The FTC recommends that businesses understand what personal information they collect, where it is stored, and who has access to it as part of protecting customer information.
3. Customer Device Data
Because Vangrote provides computer and electronics repair services, we take customer device privacy seriously.
When you leave a device with us for repair, diagnosis, data recovery, software installation, virus removal, troubleshooting, or other services:
- We will only access the information necessary to perform the requested service.
- We do not sell, share, or misuse customer device data.
- We recommend that customers back up important files before submitting a device for service.
- We recommend removing highly sensitive personal information whenever possible before repair.
- If passwords or access credentials are needed, they should be provided only for the limited purpose of completing the service.
- Vangrote is not responsible for pre-existing data loss, corrupted files, hardware failure, software failure, or manufacturer-related issues unless otherwise required by law or agreed in writing.
4. Payments and Transactions
We may use third-party payment processors to securely process payments. Vangrote does not intentionally store full credit card numbers on our website unless a secure payment provider or platform does so on our behalf.
Payment processors may collect payment card information, billing details, fraud prevention data, and transaction history according to their own privacy policies.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to:
- Improve website performance
- Remember user preferences
- Understand visitor activity
- Measure advertising performance
- Improve marketing and customer experience
You can usually disable cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted third parties only when necessary, such as:
- Payment processors
- Shipping providers
- Website hosting companies
- Customer relationship management systems
- Marketing or advertising platforms
- Repair service partners, when needed
- Legal, accounting, or compliance providers

These third parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to Vangrote.
7. Marketing Communications
If you provide your phone number or email address, we may contact you about your order, repair, estimate, service update, or customer support request.
We may also send promotional messages, special offers, or updates about products and services. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us directly.
Transactional messages related to purchases, repairs, invoices, appointments, or warranties may still be sent even if you opt out of marketing messages.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic storage system, repair process, or internet transmission is completely secure. Customers should maintain their own backups and take precautions before submitting devices for repair.
The FTC provides privacy and cybersecurity guidance for businesses, including protecting customer data and reducing cybersecurity risks.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for business, legal, tax, warranty, repair, security, and customer service purposes.
Repair records, invoices, receipts, estimates, communications, and transaction records may be retained for business documentation and compliance purposes.
