X1 Discovery, Inc. as the data controller (“X1”) is committed to protecting the privacy of your information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store and use information from and about users of the website you are on now (the “Site”) and any services and software products available via the Site (“Services”). This Privacy Policy is subject to the Terms of Service posted on the Site, located at https://www.x1.com/terms-of-service/, which are incorporated herein by reference. By using our Site or Services, you expressly consent to X1’s collection, storage, use and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with anything in this privacy policy, you should not use the Site or the Services.

INFORMATION COLLECTED

  1. Automatic Collection: Like most other websites, we use common internet technologies such as cookies and Web beacons to keep track of users’ interactions with the Site. This may include your internet protocol (IP) address, Referring website addresses, browser type and access times and mobile carrier or internet access provider.
  2. Volunteered: If you register with us, subscribe to or use downloadable software or web-based applications, fill out a profile page, purchase products or services, send us an email, or share personal information with us in any other way, we will collect and store whatever information you share. This obviously depends on what information you choose to provide but it may include your name, email address, or billing information. The collection of this information is part of regular business practices and is necessary in order to complete transactions and properly run and administer these services. You do not have to share this information with us, but without it you may not be able to access certain content or features or participate in certain areas of the Site.
  3. Publicly Posted: If you post information on public areas of the Site (or elsewhere on the internet) that information may be collected, stored and used by anyone, including us. We strongly recommend that you do not post any information that allows strangers to identify or locate you. Posting such information may result in unsolicited messages or contact from others, to say the least.
  4. Installation Numbers. X1 software products may use a system of authentication and identification during installation of the software and on an ongoing basis to confirm that the user of the X1 software products is an authorized licensee. This phone home functionality is used to authenticate the server or device utilizing the X1 Services.
  5. X1 Services. X1 Services do not transmit results of any raw data, indexes created, or searches conducted by the user back to X1. To be clear, your content indexed by X1 products, such as your email, documents, or social media is not accessed or provided back to X1. However, if you experience an error, the X1 Services will create log information for service and support purposes which you can optionally choose to send back to X1 and such log data may include information about a user’s profile, computer or device, indexing status, and search history.
