We believe you should be in control of your personal data. Consistent with this belief:
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.
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:
Full Privacy Policy
At XOOTS, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our community members. We strive to be transparent about the data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. This privacy policy outlines our principles and practices regarding the collection, processing, and storage of personal data.
We collect personal data when you register to join our community, create a profile, and engage with our services. This personal data includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, social media handles, work experience, and skills. We collect this data to help us identify and match the right opportunities for our community members. We use this data to inform our clients when we have the right team for their mission, and to help our community members find opportunities that are relevant to their skills and experience.
We use personal data to provide services to our community members and our clients. This includes, but is not limited to, matching community members with clients, offering training and development opportunities, and providing support for job finding and interview skills. We will not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your personal data with our clients if you have been selected to work on a project as a member of the client’s team. We will only share personal data that is necessary for the project and will ensure that our clients are bound by similar privacy policies and data protection measures.
We take the protection of personal data seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, theft, or alteration of personal data.
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. Only authorized XOOTS employees or associates are permitted to access member personal data when required to provide services and support. We do not store personal data longer than necessary. We will delete personal data when you ask us to, including if asked when you cancel your community membership.
You have the right to request access to your personal data, as well as the right to request its correction or deletion. If you would like to exercise these rights or have any inquiries regarding your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at info@xoots.biz
We will notify you in case of any data breaches that may affect your personal data, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We will reject, challenge, or object to any data access request from a governmental entity or civil litigant that we believe is invalid, overly broad, unclear, or otherwise inappropriate.
We reserve the right to update or change this privacy policy at any time. We will notify our community members of any changes or updates to this policy via email or through our website. By joining the XOOTS community, you acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, and processing of your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.
