xPeerient™ Privacy Policy

 

xPeerient, Inc (“xPeerient,” “we” or “us”) operates a platform that facilitates connections between buyers and sellers of IT solutions to enable buyers to identify sellers that may possess the technology and methodology skills to meet their project requirements (the “Service”) through its proprietary system that is hosted by or for xPeerient™ and available via the Internet at our Web site (the “Site”). We desire to build trust and confidence in our products and services and are committed to respecting the privacy of Site users. To demonstrate our commitment to privacy, this notice (“Privacy Policy”) contains information about our privacy practices. As part of the normal operation of the Site, we may collect certain information about you. In all cases, use of the information that we collect from you is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

 
INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THE SITE
There are three ways in which information about you can be gathered when you use the xPeerient™ Site:
  1. When you visit the Site, our Web server identifies the IP address of your computer and resolves it into a domain name (a domain name is a computer address by which one computer communicates with the other). 
  2. By using programming scripts, we collect information about the type of browser, operating system, and system configuration that you use. 
The foregoing information is stored as anonymous, aggregate data. The collection of such data may entail the use of cookies, IP addresses or other numeric codes used to identify a computer. We may use such data to help diagnose problems with our server, analyze trends, and administer the Site.
  1. In order to obtain access to portions of our Site, including the Service, you will be required to provide certain information about yourself (which may include your name, contact information including your address, your phone number, the name of your organization, and your e-mail address, and/or preferred username and password). We refer to all of this information as “Personal Information”. The Personal Information provided by you may be used for such purposes as responding to your requests for certain products and services and communicating with you about new product and service offerings and it may be provided to another user of the Site upon your authorization. 
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION GENERALLY
Except for use of your Personal Information in connection with the Service as described below, xPeerient™ uses your Personal Information for internal purposes only. xPeerient™ does not and will not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise provide your information to third parties. xPeerient™ considers the privacy of our Site users to be of utmost importance. We may, in certain cases, share the information we collect with our partners in aggregate, anonymous form to ensure that we provide better service to our customers.
Other than specified above, we will not share your Personal Information with any third parties except if (1) reasonably necessary to provide requested services to you, (2) authorized by you, or (3) we are required to do so by law or regulation, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary (a) to conform or comply with any legal, regulatory, law enforcement or similar requirement or investigation, (b) to enforce the Site’s Terms of Service, or (c) to protect or defend our rights or property or that of any other user. We may also transfer information about you to another company in connection with a merger, sale or acquisition by or of xPeerient™. In this event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
 
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE
The company uses Data About xPeerient Customers to perform the services requested.
xPeerient uses credit card information solely to check the financial qualifications of prospective Customers and to collect payment for the Service.

COOKIES
We may use cookies to facilitate the sign-in process for you across multiple applications on the Site. When you register with us, we assign a unique user ID to you, and we may place a cookie on your computer that will remind our system of that user ID in other areas of the Site, or next time you visit the Site. This cookie allows you to access all of your personalized areas of the Site without having to log on multiple times. If you choose to log out, this cookie we set in registration will be deleted and we may set another cookie like it on your computer next time you sign in. We also may use cookies to log your activity on the Site. Everything we learn from these logs will be used to enrich your experience on our Site. We will only use cookies to track your navigation within the Site. Our cookies do not have the capability of infiltrating your hard drive and accessing personal or corporate information. You may be able to set your browser to refuse cookies; however, such action may affect your ability to access and use the Site.
 
OUTSIDE PARTIES AND SITES
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use of information and its disclosure by us. Through xPeerient™ you may be introduced to a variety of third-party partners and Web sites, including access to third party Web sites via hyperlinks located on the Site. xPeerient™ has no control over the content posted on third party Web sites. The privacy policies of these third parties are not under our control, may differ from ours, and we are not responsible for privacy or security practices or the content of such Web sites. The use of any information that you may provide to any third party, or the use of “cookie” technology by any third party, will be governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the Web site that you are visiting. If you choose to provide information on another Web site, we recommend that you contact that Web site directly for more information and review its privacy policy.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
While we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. What does this mean? You must protect yourself. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. We recommend that you do not share your passwords with anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. The Internet is not a secure medium of communication and privacy cannot be ensured. We cannot assume any responsibility, nor will we be liable, for any damages you or a third party may suffer as a result of the transmission of any information that you make to us through the Internet, or as a result of any communication made via the Site.
 
YOUR CONSENT

CHANGES TO OUR POLICY
If we find it necessary or desirable to change our Privacy Policy in the future, we will post changes as soon as they go into effect so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how it would be used, and under what circumstances we would disclose it. Any change to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the date the change is posted. You can determine this date by looking at the date in the lower right hand corner of this Web page. We recommend that you print a copy of this Privacy Policy for your reference and revisit the Site and review the Privacy Policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Site signifies your acceptance of any changes.
