Hi, we’re Virello and welcome to our privacy policy. This policy sets out how we and our Group Companies manage your personal information if you’re a user of our sites or products. It applies to all users and all products, features, functionalities, services, software, applications, programs, add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, and other technologies we may develop or use from time to time (together, the Envato Sites).
When we say ‘Virello‘, ‘we‘, ‘us’ or ‘our’ we mean Shutterstock, Inc. When we refer to ‘Group Companies‘ we mean any company that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Virello.
If we say ‘policy’ we’re talking about this privacy policy. If we say ‘user terms’ we’re talking about the rules for using each of the Virello Sites. The rules vary by product and each product makes them separately available and seeks consent to them separately from this policy.
Scope
This policy applies to the personal information that we collect as a data controller or business. This policy does not apply to personal information which is subject to separate agreements, which may include data processing agreements (DPAs), concerning the processing of personal information.
We are a data controller or business for personal information related to your personal account, and to the delivery of services related to the Virello Sites.
When we use PayPal to facilitate transactions, PayPal acts as an independent data controller in the context of processing your personal information.
