The Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. These third-party services may include, but are not limited to, Games, storefronts, marketplaces, and digital currency services operated by developers and other third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties who themselves would act as controllers for information that is provided in those contexts. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any Game developer or publisher which Xterio works with. Any account you have directly with such developer or publisher is governed entirely by them, and Xterio has no control or input into it. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by implementing and maintaining appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard the information we maintain. We will retain your personal information until the sooner of (i) the information being no longer necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was provided, (ii) there being no ongoing business reason to keep the information, or (iii) until you request that your account be deleted. We may retain your information for longer periods for specific purposes to the extent that we are obliged to do so in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and/or as necessary to protect our legal rights or for certain business requirements.
We may transfer your personal data to our service providers or third parties which may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), which countries may offer a lower level of data protection than in the EEA and UK. However, before we do so, we will take necessary steps to ensure that your personal data will be given adequate protection as required by relevant data privacy laws. Any personal data transfer from the EEA to third parties outside the EEA and the UK will be based on an adequacy decision or are governed by standard contractual clauses and will take place in accordance with appropriate international data transfer mechanisms and standards. Where we use providers based in the United States, we will check whether the suppliers can host the data within the European Union (EU) countries. If this is not possible, we ensure that the standard contractual clauses will be in place before transferring any personal data.
You can exercise your rights by sending us an email at privacy@xter.io. You are not required to pay a fee for exercising your rights, and if you make a request, we have 30 calendar days to respond to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may charge a ’reasonable fee’ for the administrative costs of complying with a request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or if an individual requests further copies of their data. Also, the time period may be extended by an additional two months if the request is complex or if we receive a number of requests from the same individual. Please note that we may verify your identity before we are able to process any of the requests described in this Section, and in our discretion, deny your request if we are unable to verify your identity.

See Section 2 - HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT for details on why we collect and process personal information.
We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose and when we do so, we enter into a contract describing the purpose for sharing the data. This contract also requires the recipient party to keep the personal information confidential and not use it for any other purpose except as described by the contract. We disclose your personal information for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold any personal information.
If you are a California Consumer, the CCPA provides specific rights regarding your personal information.
You may request that Xterio discloses to you what personal information we have collected, used, and shared, and why we collected, used, or shared that information. Specifically, you may request that we disclose:
You may also request that we provide you a copy of your personal information in a readily portable format.
You have the right to request we delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your request, we will delete, and direct our service providers to delete, your personal information from our/their records, unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
You can only make two ’requests to know’ in a 12-month period, and the information provided need only cover the 12-month period prior to receipt of your request. You may submit ’requests to know’ and ’requests to delete’ by sending an email to privacy@xter.io (’requests to know’ and ’requests to delete’ collectively, “Requests“; and each, a “Request“).
We will need to verify your identity to respond to Requests. We cannot respond to your Request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make the Request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable Request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a Request to verify the requestor’s identity and/or authority to make the Request.
Please note that once you have submitted a ’request to know’ or ’request to delete’, we will send you a receipt, acknowledging your Request, within 10 business days. If, for some reason, you do not receive such a receipt within 10 business days of your submitted Request, please send us an email to privacy@xter.io as an error may have occurred. We make every effort to respond to ’requests to know’ and ’requests to delete’ within 45 calendar days after they are received, but if necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 calendar days to respond to your Request. If we require the extra time (up to 90 calendar days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We do not sell your personal information as defined under California and Nevada law and therefore are not required to provide an opt-out.
As a California resident, you have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. We may require proof that you have designated the authorized agent to act on your behalf and to verify your identity directly with us. Please contact us at privacy@xter.io for more information if you wish to submit a request through an authorized agent.
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services are directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at privacy@xter.io. If we become aware that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with personal data without verification and parental consent, we will work to delete such personal data immediately.
On occasion, we may update and change this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, our personal data collection and use practices, the features available through the Services or advances in technology. The changes will not be retroactive and the most current version of this Privacy Policy will be made available on our site at https://xter.io/privacy-policy. The revised Privacy Policy shall be effective immediately upon publication of the same on our site at https://xter.io/privacy-policy. It is your responsibility to check regularly for any updates or changes to this Privacy Policy.
