2. Our General Approach Regarding the Collection of Your Personal Data

We take the privacy of your personal data very seriously, and several laws and regulations require us to handle your data in very specific ways. The overarching data privacy principles we follow are:

  • We will use your data only in the ways stated in this Policy
  • We will ensure that your data remain as accurate and as up-to-date as possible
  • We will keep or store your data for only as long as is reasonable or legally required
  • We will protect your data from loss, theft, and unauthorized access.

3. What information do we collect from you?

a) X-Chem may collect your personal data through its website or through landing pages when you submit a “Contact Us” form. This personal data includes:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address
  • Telephone numbers
  • Company name
  • Any personal information voluntarily provided in the text box of the form.

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Physical Address

4. How do we use your information?

We use your personal information when responding to your “Contact Us” forms, for job recruitment purposes, and to provide you with opportunities to learn more about our services. We also use your information to support our business functions, such as marketing and legal activities.

X-Chem has a legitimate interest in collecting your personal data. When we have a “legitimate interest” to collect and use your data, we ensure that we do so in way that has the least possible privacy impact on you and in ways that you would expect. For example, we have legitimate interest to collect your data (such as name, email address, and telephone number) for marketing purposes so we can keep you up to date with our services and we have a legitimate interest to collect your data (such as IP address) to perform system audits or diagnose technical problems.

In instances where we do not have a legitimate interest to process your Data or in instances where required by applicable law, we will obtain your clear and unambiguous consent when we are required.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us unless the personal information is necessary for us to fulfil our legal obligations. See Section 7 for our contact information.

5. Do we share your information?

We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to others, except for sharing with our affiliates. In rare instances, we may have to share your data with law enforcement agencies or to the extent permitted by law to protect our rights and comply with judicial process.

At times, our sharing of your data may require it be transferred internationally. In those instances, we secure the privacy of your data via Standard Contractual Clauses. 

Please note that our website may provide links to other sites. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and for which we cannot be responsible. We highly recommend that you review the privacy policies or notices contained on those external sites.

6. How do we retain and protect your information?

The information we collect from you is subject to storage and archival. We will retain your data only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or for an amount of time required by a law or regulation.

Further, we place high value on protecting your information, and have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you online. By doing that, we seek to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy of your data while keeping your data free from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or unauthorized access.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed as being 100% secure.
