Welcome to Vy

Thank you for using our services. The Services are provided by Vy, located at 5 Great Valley Parkway, Suite 210, Malvern, PA 19355, USA. By using our Services you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before using the site or submitting any personal information. Our Services may be changed, but any changes will be posted and changes will only apply to activities and information on a going forward, not retroactive basis. You are encouraged to review the Terms and Conditions whenever you visit Vy.

Using Our Services

You may use our Services only to the extent permitted by law including applicable export and re-export laws and regulations. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Services to you if you do not comply with our Terms and Conditions. This includes any misuse of our Services that encompasses, but is not limited to, interfering with our Services, accessing our Services using a method other than our standard interfaces, uploading child pornography or any other inappropriate content, inappropriate access to or manipulation of data on our systems, or reselling content from our Services in violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Using our services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services.

Our Services display some content that is not Vy’s. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity or individuals that make it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our Terms and Conditions or the law.

Privacy and Data Security

Your privacy is important to Vy and we work very hard to protect your information. We encrypt many of our services using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices including physical security measures on a regular basis to guard against unauthorized access to our systems. Finally, we restrict access to personal information to Vy employees, contractors, and agents who need to know this information in order to deliver our Services. All of our employees, agents and contractors are subject to strict contractual confidentiality and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

Your Personal Information

This information falls into two broad categories: 1) information that you provide to us and 2) information that we collect from your use of our services. Information you provide to us could include personal information like your name, email address, telephone number and credit card information. We also collect information about your use of our services. We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number.)

We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML5) and application data caches. We also use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit Vy and this may include sending one or more cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device. We may also use cookies and anonymous identifiers when you interact with services we offer to our partners such as advertising services or Vy features that appear on other sites.

How We Use the Information We Collect

When you contact Vy, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our Services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes, scheduled maintenance, or improvements. We use information collected from cookies and other technologies (like image analysis), to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our Services. We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Terms and Conditions.

Information We Share

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Vy unless one of the following circumstances applies. 1) We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Vy when we have your consent to do so. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information like your name, email, or address. 2) We provide personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based upon our instructions and in compliance with our Terms and Conditions, as well as any other confidentiality and security measures. 3) We will share information with companies outside of Vy if we believe in good faith that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonable necessary to:

  • Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request
  • Enforce our Terms and Conditions including investigation of potential violations
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Vy, our users or the public as required or permitted by law

We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will not include personally identifying information. If Vy is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Protected Health Information

Vy provides image analysis services. We maintain records of your analyzed images on our servers as a convenience to you with file names supplied by you. For medical image analysis, we maintain no “protected health information” about individual patients and ask that you exclude protected health information from the file names that you supply to our Services. Protected health information is information about an individual patient, including demographic information, that may identify an individual patient and that relates to that patient’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services. Any protected health information incorporated in your file names, either by design or inadvertently, is your responsibility including any HIPAA reporting requirements.
