 X Communications: Privacy Policy

 

1. Introduction
 
Xcommunications is a business name that is owned by Arekibo Communications Limited, registered address 16 Windsor Place, Dublin 2, company registration number 343295 and is the data controller of any personal data you provide in the context of engaging our services through this website.
 
This policy establishes how Xcommunications will use information we gather about you from your visit to our website.

We are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with data protection principles. You may contact us at any time to exercise your rights as a data subject or where you require further clarification on the information provided in this policy by emailing info@xcomms.ie.
 
By using this Website, you are agreeing to the use of your personal data as described in this Privacy Notice.
 

2. Purposes of Data Collection
 

a) Performance of a Contract

 We collect and process your personal data for the purposes of contacting you where you provide these details to us in the context of enquiring about our services. Where you voluntarily submit your personal details for the purposes of engaging our services we rely on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to provide the legal basis for collecting and processing your personal data for this purpose i.e. we require your personal data to fulfil the performance of this agreement with you.
 

b) Legitimate Interests

We also collect aggregate information about visitors to our website for statistical purposes on the basis of our legitimate interests i.e. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. For example, we may count the number of visitors to the different pages of our website to help optimise our website. This information does not identify you personally but may identify the company you work for by matching your IP address to known IP addresses of companies using a third-party tracking tool, Leadfeeder which uses Google Analytics to match IP address to companies. As this tool does not have the capability of identifying individual users, we do not have sight of IP addresses, nor does it track individual users as they browse and exit our website, we have assessed that the impact on your privacy is minimal and we therefore are permitted on the basis of our legitimate interests as a commercial organisation to identify potential sales leads in companies who are actively browsing our website and who therefore already have an interest in hearing from us regarding future collaborations. In certain circumstances, where you are already on our database as a contact person within your organisation, we may decide to send you an email based on your opt-out consent under B2B electronic direct marketing rules, but this targeting has not resulted from your website browsing being linked back to you.
 

c) Consent

Where you provide your email address for the purpose of signing up to our newsletter we rely on your opt-in consent to receiving our monthly newsletter unless you actively opt-out from receiving such communications. This newsletter will include industry news and updates and will also invite you to events hosted by Xcommunications. Where you have provided your email address for the purpose of signing up to the user testing panel we rely on your opt-in consent to receive emails about upcoming user testing sessions where we may ask some additional questions to see if you match the target user of the product that we are testing. Where you have provided your personal email address to receive the newsletter or sign up for the testing panel, we rely on your opt-in consent; where we have collected or you have provided your business email address we rely on your opt-out consent on the basis of our legitimate interests as outlined above.
 

3. Categories of Data Collected

• The Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Web site

5. Who will this information be shared with?

Your privacy is very important to us. Your personal data may be shared with business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you.
In the event of a purchase or sale of the business, we may disclose your personal data to third parties who are prospective buyers or sellers of such businesses or assets. If the Company or its assets are sold to a third party, personal data will be transferred as part of the transaction. However, the Company will ensure to the best of its ability that the privacy of your personal data is maintained on an ongoing basis.
Personal information may also be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory, or other government agencies, or to other third parties, in each case to comply with legal or regulatory obligations or requests.
 

6. How long will we hold your information?

Personal data will be kept for as long as it is legally required to be kept or for as long as the business has a legitimate need to keep the data for the purposes for which it is original collected.
 
Where we hold personal data to provide a product or a service to you we will hold the information for as long as it is required to fulfil the terms of that agreement with you and for a period of 6 years after the end of the customer relationship thereafter to ensure compliance with tax requirements.
 
Other information will be retained by us for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained or as required or permitted for legal, regulatory, fraud prevention and legitimate business purposes.
 
For further information on the period of time for which we retain your personal data please contact us using the details below.
 

7. Transfers to Third Countries

We use cloud-based services where personal data may be processed for the purposes of providing our services to you and this may require the transfer of this data outside of the EEA e.g. Gmail.
Where personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, your rights as a data subject are protected by data transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses and EU/US Privacy Shield.

 

8. Your Rights

You have a number of rights as a data subject which you may choose to exercise at any time by contacting us at info@xcomms.ie.
 

a) Access to Personal Data

You have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data where you contest the accuracy of the data for a period allowing us to verify the accuracy of the data; where the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data and request the restriction of its use instead; where we no longer need the data for the purposes for which it was collected but it is required by you for legal purposes; where you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint in respect of how your personal data has been processed by us with the Office of Data Protection Commissioner or the data protection authority in your home state.
 

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data and to prevent the loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration of any data in our control and will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that such information is kept as secure as possible.
 
Where data is stored electronically, we have implemented appropriate IT security measures to secure your personal data. These measures include anti-virus protection, firewalls and data encryption technologies. Where data is stored in hard copy format, we have procedures in place and staff training to ensure that paper records are stored securely. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed as secure, however, we will ensure that the technical and organisational measures in place are regularly reviewed to ensure that they are up-to-date and functioning effectively.
