Choices for Personal Information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different from the purpose for which it was collected, we will ask for your prior consent for such use. If we intend to use personal information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to indicate that you do not want your personal information to be used for these other purposes.
We do not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some X3M features and services may not function properly if cookies are disabled in your browser.
You can choose not to provide personal information to our services, but in that case, you may not be able to use those X3M services. Sharing Data X3M only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of X3M in the following exceptional cases, if we have obtained your consent. We require explicit consent for the sharing of sensitive personal information. If we need to provide such data to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other trusted companies or individuals for the purpose of processing personal information on behalf of X3M. We require these parties to agree to process such data according to our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and other desired confidentiality and security measures. If we believe in good faith that accessing, processing, using, retaining, or disclosing such data is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with any applicable laws and regulations, legal procedures, or an enforceable request from an official authority, (b) enforce the applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of possible non-compliance thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, technical, or security issues, or (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of X3M, its users, and the public from imminent harm to the extent permitted or required by law. If X3M becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will notify you before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share certain portions of collected, non-personal data with third parties, such as the number of users who searched with a particular keyword, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such data cannot be used to identify you. Please contact us at the address below if you have any further questions about the management or use of personal information.
Data Security
We take appropriate security measures as protection against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. This includes internal controls of our policies and security measures related to data collection, storage, and processing, as well as physical security measures as protection against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal information.
We restrict access to personal information to those X3M employees, contractors, and agents who need this information to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to disciplinary action, including termination and legal prosecution, if they fail to comply with these obligations.
Data Integrity
X3M processes personal information only for the purposes for which the data was collected and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or other applicable privacy notices for specific services. We continuously monitor our policies regarding data collection, storage, and processing to ensure that we only collect, store, and process personal information that is required to provide or improve our services or that is otherwise permitted under this policy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we rely on our users to update or correct their personal information as needed.
Accessing and Updating Personal Information When you use X3M services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and to correct this information if it is inaccurate, or to delete such data at your request if retaining this data is not otherwise required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the requested data to be accessed, corrected, or deleted before processing such requests, and we may refuse to process such requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require excessive technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or are practically unfeasible (for example, requests concerning data stored on backup tapes), or for which access is not normally required. In all cases where we allow access and correction of data, we perform this service free of charge, except where performing this service requires excessive effort. Some of our services have other procedures for accessing, correcting, or deleting users’ personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices or frequently asked questions for these services.
Enforcement X3M regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or how X3M handles personal information, please contact us via this website.
