Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites, software providers, online tools, technology platforms, and other third-party resources.

These links are provided to help readers explore additional information and relevant services.

When you visit an external website through a link on Tech Vanta, you leave our platform and become subject to that website’s own privacy policy, terms, and data-handling practices.

We do not control the privacy policies, security measures, or information-handling practices of independent third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before sharing personal information or using its services.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information processed through Tech Vanta against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include website security practices, access restrictions, monitoring, and appropriate technical safeguards.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can guarantee complete security.

For this reason, although we make reasonable efforts to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Where necessary, we will take reasonable steps to remove such information from our records.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

The retention period may depend on:

  • The type of information collected.

  • The nature of the communication or inquiry.
  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Website security and operational needs.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Please note that third-party providers may maintain information according to their own retention policies.

Some third-party services used in connection with Tech Vanta may process information through servers or service providers located outside your country of residence.

As a result, certain information may be transferred internationally, depending on the services being used.

Where applicable data protection laws require safeguards for international transfers, appropriate measures will be implemented to help protect personal information.

Third-party service providers may also be subject to their own legal obligations and privacy safeguards.
