At times, you may voluntarily give us or VGRD will ask you to provide personal information.

While you do not need to register to browse through products listed on this website, you do need to register for an account to access certain features such as merchant’s identity, product price and initiate communication with merchant. In those instances, you may be asked for personal and demographic information, including your Name, E-mail Address and Company Name, and you also will be required to choose a username and password that will be used to gain access on subsequent visits to VGRD. This information will constitute your user profile. While most of your user profile is used internally for site analysis and improvement and other business purposes, some of it is used in compiling reports for the Merchant, our affiliates, agents and contractors and in connection with other VGRD services. However, except as provided or permitted in this Privacy Policy, VGRD will not disclose, without your consent, or associate with your site usage, any of your personal contact information provided through your VGRD account.

You are responsible for all actions taken with your VGRD’s username and password. Therefore, we do not recommend that you disclose your password to any third parties.

If you lose control of your password, you may lose control over your information (including, but not limited to, information provided when signing up for a VGRD account or requesting quotes), data, or other materials (collectively, "Content"), and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

When you use the communication features and software applications on this website to initiate contact with the Merchant, you may be asked to supply contact information required by these companies to respond to your request to contact you.
