  1. Scope

 

XANT, Inc. (“XANT,” “we,” “our” and/or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy as described in this Platform Privacy Policy (the “Policy”).  This Policy describes how we use and share Personal Information collected through our cloud-based software platform (the “Platform”), which we make available to our business customers (the “Customers”).

 

The Platform synchronizes with a Customer’s Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) platform(s) to pull Personal Information from the Customer’s CRM platform (“Customer Data”).  When collecting and processing Customer Data on behalf of and on instructions from a Customer to provide the Platform, XANT acts as a processor of the Customer, who is the data controller.  For more information, including on how to exercise your rights to your Personal Information, please refer to the privacy policy of the Customer who submitted your Personal Information to the Platform.

 

XANT also may process Personal Information as a controller when it collects Personal Information about your use of the Platform, when it combines Customer Data with Personal Information gathered from other Customers and vendors, and when it processes Personal Information of business contacts in connection with its customer, partner, and vendor relationships.  This Policy describes XANT’s data processing activities as a controller.

 

As used in this Policy, “Personal Information” means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

 

This Policy does not apply to any Personal Information collected through our website (https://www.insidesales.com (the “Site”)) or the XANT web applications and related services provided through the Site.  Such Personal Information is subject to our Website Privacy Policy.

We also collect Personal Information from emails and phone calls we process, such as email addresses and phone numbers.

  1. Cookies

 

Our Platform uses cookies and/or other similar technologies such as device-IDs, in-App codes, pixel tags, or web beacons to collect and store certain information (collectively, “Cookies”).  Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser settings to prevent that.  Please review your web browser’s “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your Cookies settings.  However, you may not be able to take full advantage of our Platform if you do so.  Please read our Cookie Policy to learn more about our use of Cookies on our Platform.

Your Personal Information is stored in a repository that contains both structured and unstructured data.  This repository is architected according to rigorous data engineering protocols designed for raw data storage, data staging, and data mart aggregation, and it leverages industry-leading cloud services, such as AWS and Azure.

 

  1. How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Safe?

 

We make reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the Personal Information we maintain.  However, as no electronic transmission or storage of Personal Information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your Personal Information.

 

  1. How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?

 

We take measures to delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you once your Personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it unless we are required by law to keep your Personal Information for a longer period.  In principle, we will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to operate the Platform.  When determining the specific retention period, we consider various criteria, such as the type of service provided, the mandatory retention periods provided by law, and any applicable statutes of limitations.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including in your country of residence, place of work, or where an incident took place.

 

  • You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your Personal Information, at any time and free of charge.
