4. How Long We Keep Your Information

CXI will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to complete the purposes for which it was collected, or as may be required by law. California law requires us to provide information regarding the criteria we use to determine the length of time for which we retain personal information. 

We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain information:

  • The business purposes for which the information is used, and the length of time for which the information is required to achieve those purposes;
  • Whether we are required to retain the information type in order to comply with legal obligations or contractual commitments, to defend against potential legal claims, or as otherwise necessary to investigate theft or other activities potentially in violation of CXI’s policies and procedures applicable to you or against the law, to ensure a secure online environment, or to protect health and safety;
  • The privacy impact of ongoing retention on the consumer; and 
  • The manner in which information is maintained and flows through our systems, and how best to manage the lifecycle of information in light of the volume and complexity of the systems in our infrastructure. 

Individual pieces of personal information may exist in different systems that are used for different business or legal purposes. A different maximum retention period may apply to each use case of the information. Certain individual pieces of information may also be stored in combination with other individual pieces of information, and the maximum retention period may be determined by the purpose for which that information set is used. For more information on how we apply retention criteria, please see Special Information for California Residents. 

5. How We Secure Information

CXI takes a variety of measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, and misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we take steps to limit access to information to those CXI employees, agents, and contractors who have legitimate business reason to access such information. We also use measures like encryption and hashing to help protect information when in transmission. Nevertheless, the internet is not a 100% secure environment, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of the transmission or storage of your information.

6. Information Choices

7. Special Information For California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA") to receive notice of the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which those categories of personal information will be used, how we share the personal information, and how we determine the length of time for which the personal information is maintained.

The examples of personal information listed below are illustrative and do not represent a complete description of the information we process.

Rights 

As a California resident, you have the right to request access to personal information collected about you and information regarding the source of that personal information, the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers with whom we share it. You also have the right to request we correct inaccurate information, and to request in certain circumstances that we delete personal information that we have collected directly from you. You have the right to be free from discrimination based on your exercise of your CCPA rights. 

You may submit a request to exercise your rights to access, correct, delete or limit the use of your personal information through one of two means:

  • submitting a Contact Us form by selecting "Privacy" for the "Reason for contacting us",
  • calling 1-888-998-3948.

We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or why we may comply with it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response. Upon submission of your request, we will contact you (via the email address provided in your request) with instructions on how to verify the request, after which we will check our records for matching information, and aim to complete requests as soon as reasonably practicable and consistent with any applicable laws. You may authorize another individual or a business registered with the California Secretary of State, called an authorized agent, to make requests on your behalf through these means.  

You may opt out of the sale of sharing of personal information to third parties by visiting Your Privacy Choices page. The CCPA also grants you the right to request that we limit use of sensitive personal information to certain purposes allowed by law. However, we do not use sensitive personal information in any way for which you would be afforded this right. 

8. Special Information For Individuals in the EU/UK

Transfers from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland

CXI is an organization established in the United States. For individuals located outside of the United States, your personal information will likely be transferred, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries outside of where you live. Data privacy laws vary from country to country and may not be equivalent to, or as protective as, the laws in your home country. We take steps to ensure reasonable safeguards are in place to ensure an appropriate level of protection of your information and  rely on various legal mechanisms to transfer your personal information outside of your location (if applicable).

Legal Bases 

In processing your personal information, we rely on the following legal basis: 

  • Performance of a contract: Where use of your information is necessary to provide you with the Services under a contract or to take steps, at your request, before entering a contract. 
  • Legitimate interest: Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests and where the use is not outweighed by your rights and interests. Our legitimate interests include, but are not limited to, providing the Services, improving the Services, recognizing and better understanding users of the Services, marketing, and promoting the Services.
  • Legal obligation and compliance purposes: Where use of your information is necessary to comply with laws, regulations, or other legal process, as well as detection, prevention and prosecution of fraud or theft, and preventing illegitimate or prohibited use of our Services or other illegal or wrongful activities.
  • Consent: We may ask you for consent, when required by applicable law, to process your information in a certain way. Where you are requested to consent to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

  • Right to correction: You have the right to ask us to correct any inaccuracies in the personal information that we hold about you and, where applicable, complete any incomplete information that we hold.

  • Right to restrict processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in limited circumstances, such as when the information is no longer necessary for purposes of the processing but required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
  • Right to object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal information, which is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, where there are grounds relating to your particular situation. 
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, common, and machine-readable format or request transmission of your information to a third-party. This right only applies to personal information you have given us. 
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint about our data collection and processing actions with the supervisory authority concerned. 

9. Children’s Privacy
