You can also unsubscribe by following the instructions at the bottom of each type of e-mail.

5. Browsing behavior and IP address

On the Xaaloo platform, general visitors statistics are collected without identifying such visitors individually. The purpose of the foregoing is to optimise the performance of the Xaaloo platform. Such statistics may also be used to show more targeted information to categories of users. This enables Xaaloo to further improve their services. In order to do so, Xaaloo may use the IP address of your computer. IP addresses are not coupled to identifiable information unless you have explicitly given your consent for such coupling.

6. Use of Cookies

The Xaaloo platform uses cookies. You can delete cookies via your browser or you can change your settings on your computer so that no cookies will be placed on your computer. This may reduce your user experience – certain parts of the Xaaloo Platform may not be accessible as a result.

Xaaloo uses functional cookies to track session or login information and cookies for web analysis services (such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Hotjar). Through these cookies, Xaaloo gather statistics regarding traffic, popularity of webpages, exit pages, browser information, duration of visit and other browsing behaviour. This enables Xaaloo to provide you with a better user experience. Xaaloo cannot track who (or which pc) has visited the Xaaloo platform or Xaaloo portals.

Cookies from social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are also in use. The use of these Cookies allows us to display advertisements on and off the Platform and to collect information about your browsing habits and the use of the Platform to make advertisements more relevant and personal to you and your interests. We can use remarketing technologies to enable third parties to display relevant and personalized ads to you through their networks. They are also used to indicate that you've seen a particular ad, the number of times you see an ad, and to measure the effectiveness of an ad campaign. For this we use third-party technologies, including but not limited to Google Analytics, Facebook Business Manager, Linkedin Campaign Manager, Xing and Google Adwords. Technologies are also placed by social media sites for advertising and targeting purposes (including Facebook, Linkedin and Instagram).

These technologies remember the websites you visit and that information is shared with other parties such as advertisers.

The external companies we use for targeting and advertising purposes have their own privacy policies that you should carefully review. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. To manage the collection of information through cookies or other equivalent technology, you can use the settings of your browser or mobile device. Xaaloo strives to give you the choices to manage your privacy. Xaaloo do not recognize or respond to browser-driven 'Do Not Track' signals because the internet industry has not yet developed complete 'Do Not Track' standards, implementations and solutions. For more information about 'Do Not Track' signals, you can consult https://allaboutdnt.com. If you refuse cookies, certain features of the services may no longer be available to you.

7. How we protect information

We take various measures to protect the collection, transfer and storage of the data we collect. While we strive to provide reasonable protection for your information, suitable for its sensitivity, we do not guarantee or provide any guarantee for the security of the information you share with us and we are not responsible for theft, destruction, loss or unintentional disclosure of your information or content. No system is 100% safe. The services use standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for encoding personal information and credit card numbers. The personal data is stored on secure servers of Amazon Web Services in Germany, which are only accessible via the secure SSL connection. Passwords are encrypted in a special way so that they can not be retrieved by third parties. We do not store credit card numbers ourselves. This is done by our Payment Service Providers (PSP) Adyen B.V. and Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.

To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing unauthorized access to your private information, you should be aware of the security features that are available to you in your browser. You must use a well-secured browser to send your credit card details and other personal information to the services. Note: if you use a browser that does not work with SSL, you run the risk of your data being intercepted.

Most browsers can be configured to notify you when you switch from a secure to an unsecured communication network, receive invalid identification data for the services you are communicating with, or send information through an unsecured connection. Xaaloo recommends that you enable these browser functions to ensure that your communication is protected. You can also check the URL of the services you visit (secure URLs begin with https: // and not with http: //) and the security symbol of your browser to help you determine if you are sending data to a secure server. You can also view the details of the security certificate of the services you are connected to. Check the validity of all services with which you connect and whether they make use of secure connections.

8. Rights of EU-members

You have the right to view, correct, download or delete your data, as well as the right to limit certain processing of your data and to object to it. Some of these rights are generally applicable, others only in a limited number of cases. Below we describe these rights:

● Accessibility and portability

● Correct, restrict, limit, delete

● Make objections

● Revoke consent

● Raise a formal complaint

9. Storing information

We store information as long as necessary to provide the services to you and others, subject to any legal obligations to further such information. Information relating to your account will generally be retained until it is no longer required to provide the services or until you ask us to delete it or your account has been deleted, if earlier. After you delete your account, it may take up to 30 days before your personal data is completely removed from our system logs from our systems. In addition, we may track information from deleted accounts to comply with the law, to prevent fraud, to collect fees, to resolve disputes, to solve problems, to assist in investigations and other legal acts permitted by law. The information we retain will be treated according to this Privacy Policy.

Information about you that is no longer necessary and relevant to the provision of our services can be anonymised and merged with other non-personal data to obtain insights that are commercially valuable to Xaaloo, such as statistics on the use of the services. This information is disconnected from your name and other identification.

10. Disclaimer

Although Xaaloo remains committed to protecting your personal information, the security of data transfer via the Internet can not be 100% guaranteed, and Xaaloo can not guarantee or guarantee the security of information you send to Xaaloo. The sending of personal information is at your own risk.

Xaaloo reserves the right to amend this Privacy Statement. We advise you regularly re-read the (most current) Privacy Statement.
