1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website, including information submitted through our repair form, live chat, email links, and other website features. Information collected during an in-person or separately contracted repair may also be governed by a work order, customer agreement, purchase order, or other service document.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide
When you contact us or request service, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, organization or school, device information, asset or serial numbers, repair concerns, shipping or pickup details, and anything else you include in a form, email, or chat message. Please do not submit passwords, payment-card details, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive information unless VT Services specifically requests it through an approved process.
Information collected automatically
Our website and third-party tools may automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, timestamps, approximate location derived from an IP address, cookie identifiers, and interaction data needed to operate embedded content and live chat.
3. How We Use Information
- Respond to questions, repair requests, estimates, and service inquiries.
- Communicate about repair intake, status, pickup, delivery, shipping, and next steps.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and customer-support experience.
- Maintain business, warranty, accounting, and service records.
- Prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents and comply with legal obligations.
4. Google Services
The website links to a Google Form for repair requests and embeds or links to Google services such as Google Maps and YouTube. When you open or use those features, Google may receive information you submit along with technical information about your browser, device, IP address, and interaction with its services. Form responses are made available to VT Services so we can respond to your request.
Google processes information under its own Privacy Policy. Your Google account and browser settings may provide additional controls.
5. Tawk.to Live Chat and Cookies
We use Tawk.to to provide live chat and customer support. When the chat widget loads or you begin a conversation, Tawk.to may process chat content, contact details you choose to provide, IP address, online identifiers, pages visited, and browser or device information on VT Services' behalf.
Tawk.to uses cookies and browser storage to maintain chat sessions, remember preferences, recognize returning visitors, and understand widget activity. You can block or delete cookies through your browser, but the chat feature may not work correctly. Learn more through Tawk.to's Privacy Policy and cookie information.
6. When Information May Be Shared
VT Services may share information with vendors that help provide forms, chat, hosting, email, maps, video, shipping, payment, security, professional, or technical services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect customers or our business, to investigate misuse, or as part of a business transaction. VT Services does not sell personal information for money.
7. Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, provide and document services, meet warranty and accounting needs, resolve disputes, and comply with law. Retention may vary by record type and by the settings of our service providers. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may choose not to submit information through the website and instead call or visit us. You may also adjust browser cookie settings. Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information. To make a request, email repair@vtechsvc.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and some records may be retained where permitted or required by law.
9. External Links and Policy Changes
Links to third-party websites are governed by those parties' privacy practices. We may update this policy when our website, vendors, or legal obligations change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
