What information does VLAN Asia collect? 
Personal Information.

User Communications. 

If you communicate with VLAN Asia, VLAN Asia may collect information relating to that communication whether it takes the form of e-mail, letter, forum posting, testimonials or any other form of communication between you and VLAN Asia or submitted by you to the Website (collectively, “User Communications”). 

Server Information 

If you use one of VLAN Asia’ services such as VLAN Asia ‘Web Hosting, Dedicated Server, VPS, Domain Name or SSL, VLAN Asia may collect certain information concerning such services and concerning the server upon which the services operates. This information includes without limitation: (a) the licensed or unlicensed status of the software used under the services; (b) the source from which the license for the software was obtained (i.e., VLAN Asia or an VLAN Asia affiliate); or (c) information about the server upon which the software is installed including (i) the public IP address, (ii) the operating system and (iii) the use of any virtualization technologies on such server ((a) through (c) collectively, “Server Information”)). Additionally, “Server Information” may also include information collected by VLAN Asia from time to time concerning which features of the software are most often used in order to improve and make adjustments to the software; and information collected from you by VLAN Asia in the event that you request technical support services including without limitation, IP addresses, usernames and passwords necessary to login to SSH, the directory of the server upon which you installed the software and any affected accounts including email accounts and other accounts. 

Non-Personal Information 

VLAN Asia also collects data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. VLAN Asia may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. 

 
What information does VLAN Asia collect if you’re under the age of 13? 

By Default, VLAN Asia does not knowingly collect Personal Information about children under the age of 13. If VLAN Asia becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected Personal Information about children under the age of 13, it will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible, except where VLAN Asia is required by applicable law to keep it. 

Where VLAN Asia knows a child is above the age of 13, but considered a minor under applicable law, VLAN Asia will obtain parental/guardian consent prior to using that child’s Personal Information. 

 

How does VLAN Asia use and store the information it collects? 

As a general matter, VLAN Asia may use the Personal Information you disclose to VLAN Asia to improve and provide the Website, the Services and VLAN Asia’ other products and services, and for the specific purpose that you gave VLAN Asia your Personal Information. More specific details on how VLAN Asia uses your information follows below. 

VLAN Asia may use Personal Information to create and authenticate your account, to process transactions you request such as domain name registration in order to perform any contract you have entered into with VLAN Asia, to provide you with customer and technical support and to communicate with you about your account and VLAN Asia’ products and services. 

The Personal Information you provide to VLAN Asia allows VLAN Asia to provide you with the newsletters and mailing lists that you have signed up for with VLAN Asia. If you do not want to be on VLAN Asia’ mailing list, you can opt out at any time by changing your settings in your ‘My Details’ page within the client area. 

VLAN Asia may also use Personal Information to offer, market or advertise to you VLAN Asia products and services. While such VLAN Asia products and services may reference, incorporate or include third-party products and services, VLAN Asia will not use your Personal Information to independently offer, market or advertise third-party products and services unless VLAN Asia first obtains your consent to do so. 

From time to time, VLAN Asia may use your Personal Information to send important notices, such as important product updates and communications about purchases as well as changes to VLAN Asia’ terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important for your interaction with VLAN Asia you may not opt out of receiving these communications. 

VLAN Asia may also use your Personal Information for any other legal purpose stated in this Privacy Policy, and any other purpose for which you have given VLAN Asia express consent. 

Where you consent to VLAN Asia doing so, VLAN Asia may use your Personal Information to send you direct marketing communications. Should you ever choose to ‘opt out’ of receiving such communications, VLAN Asia may retain your Personal Information on file to ensure that VLAN Asia does not continue to target you with communications of the type that you have asked VLAN Asia to cease sending to you. 

VLAN Asia limits the use of Personal Information to the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy and for which you have provided explicit consent. In accordance with established policies and procedures, VLAN Asia retains Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purposes, unless it is required by law for a different period or VLAN Asia has the consent of the individual. 

In accordance with established policies and procedures, VLAN Asia will periodically destroy or erase any Personal Information that is no longer needed. 

VLAN Asia may use User Communications in the same way as VLAN Asia uses Personal Information. If you communicate with VLAN Asia for a particular purpose, VLAN Asia may use your User Communications for that purpose. For example, if you contact VLAN Asia for technical support, VLAN Asia may use your communications to provide technical support to you. 

VLAN Asia may use Server Information to provide you with technical support services and to maintain, evaluate, improve and provide VLAN Asia products and services. VLAN Asia may also use such information to investigate unlicensed (and therefore unauthorised) uses of VLAN Asia’ software. 

 

Where is your Personal Information stored? 

VLAN Asia is a Malaysian company and your personal data may be transferred to and stored at our Malaysian office and associated providers datacentres globally and by accepting global data privacy act and terms of service, you are explicitly consenting to this transfer and storage taking place.

Will VLAN Asia Ever Send Me Direct Mailings? 

From time to time, VLAN Asia may send you information about various products and services that may be of interest. We will not send you information of this type without specifically allowing you to “opt out” of such mailings. You can opt out by sending an e-mail to VLANMarketingDivision@vlan.asia , however by doing so, you may miss important communication regarding your service.

How Do I Protect My Personal Information In Public Forums? 

VLAN Asia may offer interactive forums, such as message boards and chat. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose Personal Information to other users or to third parties on the VLAN Asia system, through e-mail, or outside of the VLAN Asia system, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other members or third parties. While VLAN Asia strives to protect your Personal Information, VLAN Asia cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to VLAN Asia, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.
