XOOTS Privacy Principles

Community MEMBERS CONTROL THEIR PERSONAL DATA

We believe you should be in control of your personal data. Consistent with this belief:

•We will delete your personal data if you ask us to, including if asked when you cancel your community membership.

•We will provide you with access to your personal data if you ask us to, including if asked when you cancel your community membership.

•Our Privacy Policy describes how we share personal data. We will otherwise share your personal data with others only if you ask us to. For example, we would share it with a company who is using our services and you are considered as a team member for the assignments

XOOTS EMPLOYEES OR ASSOCIATES ONLY ACCESS COMMUNITY MEMBER PERSONAL DATA WHEN REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPORT

•We prioritize the accountability and the security of your personal data. Our policy is that a community member’s personal data is not to be accessed or shared by anyone at XOOTS without an explicit need to do so. Consistent with these priorities and our policy:

•Community membership services team builders, but management team members, data scientists, and technical team members are not permitted to access your personal data without a legitimate business need.

•We maintain a log that tells us who has accessed member personal data and when.

•We actively evaluate data access logs and investigate any anomalies for data access.

XOOTS DOES NOT SELL COMMUNITY MEMBER PERSONAL DATA

•Our business model is to provide client initiatives to our members in exchange for their membership of our community. As such, we never sell our community members’ personal data. This is our promise and we want to be clear that we use third party cookies and other tracking technologies.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIRD PARTIES SHOULD BE PREVENTED FROM INVADING OUR MEMBERS’ LIVES BY ACCESSING THEIR XOOTS DATA.

Like all other companies, XOOTS may from time to time receive requests for member data from third parties, like governmental entities and private parties engaged in civil litigation. Here are the key principles we stand by when evaluating these requests:

•We will never voluntarily disclose member data in response to a request by a governmental entity or civil litigant.

•We will never provide any governmental entity or civil litigant with direct access to our members data.

•We will never provide copies of member data held by us to any governmental entity or civil litigant without a valid, narrowly tailored, and legally-binding request (e.g. warrant or court order).

•If we receive a request for a members’ data, we will provide notice to the member by sending an email to the email address we have on file for that member.

•We is prepared to fight to protect our members privacy in court if necessary. We will reject, challenge or object to any data access requests from a governmental entity or civil litigant that we believe are invalid, overly broad, unclear, or otherwise inappropriate
