1. Who are we, and what is this about?

We are VITO New Energies Solutions SA, operating under the brand name VITO Energies, based in Bugeon at 2087 Cornaux, and we are responsible for this website. This is our Privacy Policy (“PP”), in which we provide you, as a data subject, with the information you need to exercise your rights and to ensure that your data is processed transparently.

This Privacy Policy serves as the basis for how we process all personal data we receive in connection with your use of and interaction with this website or any other online presence we manage, including our social media accounts and our applications (“apps”) (collectively referred to as the “website”).

This website may contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertising partners, and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these sites, please note that they have their own privacy policies and that we are not responsible or liable for them.

This DC is dated May 1, 2026. We reserve the right to amend it at any time. The DC published here is the official version.

2.1. When you visit our website

When you visit our website, our servers temporarily log each visit in a log file.

The data is deleted or anonymized after a reasonable period of time:

  • the IP address of the requesting computer
  • the name of the owner of the IP address range (usually your Internet service provider)
  • the date and time of access
  • the webpage from which the access originated (Referrer URL), including the search term used, if applicable
  • the name and URL of the file accessed
  • the status code (for example, error message)
  • your computer's operating system
  • the browser you are using (type, version, and language)
  • the transmission protocol used (e.g., HTTP/1.1)

The purpose of collecting and processing this data is to enable the use of our website (establishing a connection), to ensure the long-term security and stability of the system, to optimize our online services, and for internal statistical purposes.
Personal data is retained for as long as a legitimate business interest exists.

To this end, we are supported by our partners, who are themselves subject to data protection regulations; we have carefully selected them, and they have contractually committed to complying with data protection requirements, particularly with regard to data security.

2.5. When you purchase our services

To purchase our paid services, you or your organization must enter into a contract with us. To do so, we need information such as your last name, first name, title, organization (if applicable), phone number, email address, shipping address, billing address, and payment method. This allows us, on the one hand, to verify the customer relationship with you or your organization and, if applicable, to establish it.

We will retain all of this information in accordance with legal requirements. We reserve the right, after your purchase as an existing customer, to notify you via email about our offers for goods or services similar to those you have already purchased, to invite you to events, or to ask you to rate us and evaluate our services, provided you do not object. In addition, we analyze the purchasing behavior of our existing customers on an individual and segmented basis in order to tailor our offerings to the projected demand. This includes use for advertising purposes on social media (e.g., for Lookalike Audience campaigns). If you use your customer account for your purchases, we will associate your transactions with that account.

For the performance of the contract, delivery, credit checks, analysis, communication, and payment by invoice or credit card, we rely on our partners, who are themselves subject to data protection laws. We have carefully selected these partners and contractually obligated them to comply with data protection requirements, particularly with regard to data security.
