Ventyx is based in the United States and our Website is hosted in the United States. Before providing your information via the Website, you should understand that your information will be sent to the United States. Data protection laws in the United States do not provide the same level of protection as data protection laws in other jurisdictions, such as the EU, raising the risk that your information will not have the same level of protection as your local jurisdiction. We will only transfer your personal information to a third party when we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect the integrity and security of any information being processed, in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
For individuals residing in the EU only: Some of the recipients of the personal information we collect may be located outside of the EU, including in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as in the EU. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that such recipients are bound to duties of confidentiality and we will endeavor to implement measures such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure that any transferred personal information, remains protected and secure. A copy of these clauses can be obtained by contacting us at the address listed below in the “Contact Us” section.

Requests should be submitted in writing to the address listed below in the “Contact Us” section. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority and, where provided for under the applicable law, demand compensation for the damages that you have suffered as a result of unlawful processing of your personal information.
