How Vizo handles your information.

Vizo is a business-visibility platform developed and operated by AsyncAfrica. In this policy, “Vizo,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the organization responsible for providing the Vizo platform and related services.

Vizo helps businesses manage information, connect websites, publish structured data, perform visibility audits and improve how businesses are understood across digital discovery platforms.

The information we collect depends on how you use Vizo and which services you activate.

Information from other sources

When authorized or when information is publicly available, Vizo may receive business information from business websites, public business listings, connected platforms or service providers. You are responsible for ensuring you have permission to submit and manage information belonging to a business.

We use personal and business information to operate, secure and improve Vizo and to provide the services requested by users.

Where required, we process information based on your consent, performance of a service agreement, legitimate business interests or compliance with applicable legal obligations.

Website Connect

When Website Connect is installed, Vizo may verify that the script is available, identify the connected Site ID and publish approved business information associated with that Site ID.

Website Connect is not designed to read private website databases, payment-card details, passwords or private customer communications.

Visibility audits

When you request an audit, Vizo may analyze publicly accessible website information, technical availability, structured data, business-profile completeness and other visibility signals. Audit results may be stored so progress can be measured over time.

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information in the following situations:

• With service providers that support hosting, email, analytics, security, payments or customer support
• With people you authorize as business owners, managers or team members
• When information is intentionally published through your business profile or website connection
• When required by law, legal process or a valid government request
• When necessary to protect Vizo, its users or the public from fraud, abuse or security threats
• During a business transfer, reorganization or similar corporate transaction

Service providers are expected to process information only for the agreed purpose and to apply appropriate safeguards.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Vizo, maintain account history, meet security requirements, resolve disputes and comply with applicable obligations.

When an account is deleted, some information may remain for a limited period in backups, security records, financial records or legal-compliance records. Public information previously indexed by external platforms may remain in their systems until they refresh or remove it.

Business owners should remove the Website Connect script when they no longer want a website connected to Vizo.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss or misuse.

No internet service can guarantee complete security. Users must protect their passwords, use trusted devices and notify us if they suspect unauthorized account access.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

To protect accounts, we may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. Some requests may be limited where retention is required for security, contractual or legal reasons.

Vizo may use cookies, browser storage and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, maintain security and understand platform performance.

Browser settings can be used to remove or block some storage. Blocking essential storage may prevent sign-in and other platform features from working correctly.
