Data Security

Xelerate takes commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technical precautions designed to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration.

Xelerate will typically maintain personal data so long as it can reasonably foresee such personal data may be required in connection with its relationship with you. Xelerate may retain personal data for a longer period as necessary to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements and reasonable records retention policies or as otherwise necessary for a legitimate reason (such as to resolve disputes and enforce its agreements and contracts).

You may also request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances (and subject to any applicable legally required or permitted retention standards). To request access to, correction of, or erasure of personal data, you should contact Xelerate as set forth at the end of this Privacy Policy.

California Residents

California law entitles California residents to certain additional protections regarding personal data. For purposes of this section alone, “personal data” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. California residents have the right to request:

• information regarding their personal data Xelerate has collected (the categories of personal data collected, the source of such data, and how such data has been used);
• a description of whether Xelerate has disclosed their personal data to third parties, and if so what categories of data have been disclosed, and to what categories of third parties);
• a copy of their personal data collected by Xelerate in the past 12 months; and
• that their personal data be deleted.

To make such a request, California residents should contact Xelerate as set forth below. Xelerate may require verification of your identity before further processing the request. In certain instances, Xelerate may be required or permitted by law to decline some or all of such request.
