INFORMATION WE COLLECT

What personal information we collect and process depends on how and why you use our Site or Services. Generally, we process personal information that we receive:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us, such as in connection with our Services.
  • Indirectly, through automated technologies such as cookies, or from third parties.

For corporate Customers with multiple team members, we may also ask you to submit your name and company name, as well as team members who will have access to Hexact. This information is your “Account Information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Account Information is required to identify you as a Customer and permit you to access your account(s).

In case of corporate Customers, other payment methods (e.g wire transfer) may be availed to you.

This includes:

  • Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us

Information We Collect Indirectly

This information is collected via cookies and similar technologies (“Device and Usage Information”) and consists of:

  • Information About your Device: information about the devices and software you use to access the Site — primarily the internet browser or mobile device that you use, the website or source that linked or referred you to the Site, your IP address or device ID (or other persistent identifier that uniquely identifies your computer or mobile device on the Internet), the operating system of your computer or mobile device, device screen size, and other similar technical information.

Information from Third Parties

In some instances, we process personal information from third parties. This consists of data from our partners, such as transactional data from providers of payment services, or information from third parties who assist us with fraud prevention. From time to time, we may combine information we collect as described above with personal information we obtain from third parties.

Occasionally, we will provide our Customers with aggregated information that does not identify End Users directly, in order to provide information about usage, demographics (such as location) or other general information.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

General Retention Periods

We use the following criteria to determine our retention periods:

  • The amount, nature and sensitivity of your information
  • The reasons for which we collect and process the personal data
  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide you with access to our Site and/or Services
  • Applicable legal requirements

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide our Services. Note, however, that with respect to our Customers with active accounts, we may retain certain essential account information, but otherwise regularly delete other information that is less essential to the provision of our Services in order to minimize our storage of data. We also will retain personal information that we’ve collected from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). Additionally, we cannot delete information when it is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (also known as a “litigation hold”). In this case, the information must be retained as long as needed for exercising respective potential legal claims. When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. For any questions about data retention, please contact [email protected].

Anonymization

In some instances, we may choose to anonymize your personal data instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we make sure that there is no way that the personal data can be linked back to you or any specific user.

OPTING-OUT OF MARKETING

You may opt-out at any time of marketing that we may send you by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained in each email, or you may contact us directly at [email protected].

NOTICE TO NEVADA CONSUMERS

We do not sell your personal information within the scope of, and according to the defined meaning of, a “sale” under NRS 603A.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Hexact is a United States corporation, which primarily stores information in the United States. To facilitate our global operations, we may process personal information from around the world, including from other countries and in other countries in which Hexact has operations, in order to provide the Site and/or Services.

If you are accessing or using our Site and/or Services or otherwise providing personal information to us, you are agreeing and consenting to the processing of your personal information in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate.

If you are a Customer, you are responsible for informing your End Users of how and where their personal information will be processed at the time of collection. Because different countries may have different data protection laws than the United States we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data as explained in this Privacy Policy. We enter into data processing agreements with our Customers on request.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS IN THE EEA AND THE U.K.

Rights and Choices

If the GDPR applies to you because you are in the EEA or the U.K., you have certain rights in relation to your personal data:

  • The right to be informed: our obligation to inform you that we process your personal data (and that’s what we’re doing in this Privacy Policy)
  • The right of access: your right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (also known as a ‘data subject access request’)
  • The right of rectification: your right to request that we correct personal data about you if it is incomplete or inaccurate (though we generally recommend first making any changes in your Account Settings)
  • The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’): under certain circumstances, you may ask us to delete the personal data we have about you (unless it remains necessary for us to continue processing your personal data for a legitimate business need or to comply with a legal obligation as permitted under the GDPR, in which case we will inform you)
  • The right to restrict processing: your right, under certain circumstances, to ask us to suspend our processing of your personal data
  • The right to data portability: your right to ask us for a copy of your personal data in a common format (for example, a .csv file)
  • The right to object: your right to object to us processing your personal data (for example, if you object to us processing your data for direct marketing)
  • Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: our obligation to be transparent about any profiling we do, or any automated decision-making. These rights are subject to certain rules around when you can exercise them.

How you may exercise these rights depends on how you use the Site and/or Services, as explained below. For End Users in the EEA or the U.K., please read below.

Customers, Site Visitors in the EEA or the U.K

If you are located in the EEA or the U.K. and you are a Customer or Site Visitor, and wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, you may contact us at [email protected] using the term “DSR” as your email subject line. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights) unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request under those circumstances. If we cannot reasonably verify your identity, we will not be able to comply with your request(s). We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. Note that this is especially true when you engage a third party to assist you in exercising your rights. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated as required by law. In addition, we will always balance your rights against those of other data subjects in connection with any requests, and in some cases, this may require us to redact our responses or deny a request.

If you no longer wish to receive our marketing/promotional information, we remind you that you may withdraw your consent to direct marketing at any time directly from the unsubscribe link included in each electronic marketing message we send to you. If you do so, we will promptly update our databases, and will take all reasonable steps to meet your request at the earliest possible opportunity, but we may continue to contact you to the extent necessary for the purposes of providing our Services.

Finally, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority for data protection issues in your country of residence. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us directly first.

End Users in the EEA or the U.K.

Hexact has no direct relationship with End Users. Our Customers are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to their End Users, and this includes handling all data subject requests. We rely on our Customers to comply with the underlying legal requirements and respond directly to End Users when End Users wish to exercise the rights set forth above. However, if an End User sends a request to Hexact to access, correct, update, or delete his/her information, we will direct that End User to contact the Customer’s website(s) with which he/she interacted directly, and cooperate with our Customers as required by applicable law in order to ensure that our Customers satisfy their End Users’ requests.

GOOGLE COMPLIANCE

Hexact's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

CONTACT US

If you have questions about data protection, or if you have any requests for resolving issues with your personal data, we encourage you to first contact us so we can reply to you more quickly.
