JV generally collects only the personal information
necessary to fulfill your request. Where additional, optional information is
sought, you will be notified of this at the point of collection.
JV only collects
"sensitive" personal information when the relevant individuals
voluntarily provide us with this information or where such information is required or permitted to be collected by law or professional
standards. Sensitive information includes personal information regarding a
person's race, ethnicity, political beliefs, trade union membership, religious
or similar beliefs, physical or mental health, sexual life or criminal record.
Please use your discretion when providing sensitive information to JV, and

particular purposes, please contact JV at info@jvchk.com.
Automatic collection of
data
In
some instances, JV and its service providers uses cookies, web beacons and
other technologies to automatically collect certain types of information when
you visit us online, as well as through emails that we may exchange. The
collection of this information allows us to customize your online experience,
improve the performance, usability and effectiveness of JV's online presence,
and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities.
IP addresses
An
IP address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you access the
internet. It allows computers and servers to recognise
and communicate with one another. IP addresses from which visitors appear to
originate may be recorded for IT security and system diagnostic purposes. This
information may also be used in aggregate form to conduct web site trend and
performance analysis.
Cookies and log files
Cookies
may be used on some areas of our website. A cookie is a small software
application which allows a website to recognise a
previous user and to observe how a user navigates within a website.
Cookies are now used as a standard by many websites to improve users'
navigational experience. If you are concerned about cookies, most
browsers permit individuals to decline cookies. In most cases, a visitor may
refuse a cookie and still fully navigate our websites, however other
functionality in the site may be impaired. After termination of the visit
to our site, you can always delete the cookie from your system if you wish.
In order to properly manage our website and related email services, we may
anonymously log information on our operating systems about the number and
duration of visits to the website and identify categories of visitors by items
such as domains and browser types, and to track document identification number
by way of email acknowledgement or return receipt. These statistics are
reported in the aggregate to our webmaster and system administrators. In
addition, site statistics are compiled by third parties, and therefore your IP
address will be passed to third parties for statistical reporting only.
This is to ensure that our website presents the best web experience for visitors
and is an effective information resource.
Whenever a registered member visits this website, they must identify themselves
in order to gain entry. This data is logged by JV primarily to measure
website performance and in assisting to resolve any website technical
difficulties.

time to time, for example to advise you of information, technical updates,
upcoming events/seminars, or surveys which may be of interest to you.
JV will not use personal data collected from our website to facilitate
unsolicited marketing activities.
Disclosure of data to third parties
Information
will not be disclosed to third parties except when required by law, when we
have your explicit consent where requesting such consent is permitted or in
cases where we have engaged the third party specifically to assist with our
firm's activities. Any such third parties whom we engage will be bound
contractually to keep all information confidential.
Data retention

on your geographic location, and to improve our location-based products and
services.
Social Media
JV
websites may include functionality to enable sharing via third party social
media applications, such as the Facebook and Twitter widget. These social media
applications may collect and use information regarding your use of JV web sites.
Any personal information that you provide via such social media applications
may be collected and used by other members of that social media application and
such interactions are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that
provide the application. We do not have control over, or responsibility for,
those companies or their use of your information.
In addition, JV web sites may host
blogs, forums, crowd-sourcing and other applications or services (collectively
"social media features"). The purpose of social media features is to
facilitate the sharing of knowledge and content. Any personal information that
you provide on any JV social media feature may be shared with other users of
that social media feature (unless otherwise stated at the point of collection),
over whom we may have limited or no control.
Children
JV understands the importance of
protecting children's privacy, especially in an online environment. In
particular, our sites are not intentionally designed for or directed at children
under the age of 13. It is our policy never to knowingly collect or maintain
information about anyone under the age of 13, except as part of an engagement
to provide professional services.
Access your information
To
access your personal data that you have submitted on a request or registration
through our website, please send your request to us.
When personal data is retained, JV assumes responsibility for keeping a record
of the information once a visitor has submitted the data. JV does not assume
responsibility for verifying the ongoing accuracy of the content of personal
data. When practically possible, if JV is informed that any personal data
collected through a website is no longer accurate, JV will make appropriate
corrections based on the updated information provided by the authenticated
visitor.

Data security and integrity
The
information submitted is stored in either email boxes or databases. JV
has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational
security in order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, alteration or
destruction. All JV staff follow a firm wide security policy. Only authorised JV personnel are provided access to personal
data and they have agreed to ensure confidentiality of this information.
This policy is also required for any fulfilment agents of our firm.
Sharing and Transfer data
We do not share personal
information with unaffiliated third parties, except as necessary for our
legitimate professional and business needs, to carry out your requests, and/or
as required or permitted by law or professional standards.
In some instances, JV may share personal
information about you with various outside companies or service providers or
vendors working on our behalf to help fulfill your requests.
In addition, JV may transfer
certain personal information across geographical borders to other JV member
firms or outside companies working with us or on our behalf. JV may also store personal
information in a jurisdiction other than where you are based. By providing
personal information on online, visitors are consenting to this transfer and/or
storage of their personal information across borders.
JV may also disclose personal
information in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the
business of the site to which the data relates, in order to respond to requests
of government or law enforcement agencies or where this is required by
applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations. These disclosures may
also be needed for data privacy or security audits and/or to investigate or
respond to a complaint or security threat. JV does not sell personal
information to any third parties. Also, JV will not transfer the personal
information you provide to any third parties for their own direct marketing
use.
Personal
data collected by JV may be disclosed to other member firms in the JV network
of firms, where it is necessary (i) to meet the
purpose for which the visitor has submitted the information; or (ii) to enable
the visitor to be provided with information at a later date which may be of
relevance and interest to the visitor based on the nature and purpose of their
voluntary requests. By submitting personal data on JV' website, the
visitor is providing explicit consent to trans-border transmission of such data
collected on the website for the fulfilment of his/her voluntary requests.

JV wants your website experience to be as informative and resourceful as
possible, we may provide a number of links to third party websites. JV
assumes no responsibility for the information practices of these third party
websites that a user is able to access through ours. When you link to
these websites, JV¡¦s privacy practices no longer apply. We encourage
visitors to review each website's privacy policy before disclosing any personal

contained in this Privacy Statement is intended to create a contract or
agreement between JV and any user visiting the website.
