General Policy
The XV SERIES™ website is developed and maintained by XV SERIES™ to support our mission. XV SERIES™ is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy tells you how we use personal information collected at this site or that you provide directly to us through emails, mail, via phone, or other means. Please read this Privacy Policy before using the site or submitting any personal information.
To reflect the changing nature of our operations, this policy may be changed at any time. If we make any material changes, we will prominently post notification of change to this policy on the Site. The latest Privacy Policy will appear here.
XV SERIES™ strives to adhere to the highest standards of ethical practices in all our operations and is dedicated to protecting the privacy of all visitors to the Site. One of the basic principles we follow is minimizing the amount of information we collect. We ask only for the information we need to provide the service you've requested. As a result, what information we collect and store depends almost entirely on how you choose to make use of the Site.
Personal Information
We collect and store information that you enter into this Site or provide to us via other means. For example, if you apply for membership, sign up for an event, or send an email inquiry, we collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide, such as: name, address, phone number, email address, message contents of emails. We may also collect personal information at other points in the Site that states that personal information is being collected.
Disclosure of your personal information
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with anyone without expressly providing notification to you at the time you provide the information. We disclose your personal information as described below and as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Service Providers
We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to: provide technical support; and/or provide other services to XV SERIES™. These third-party service providers are required not to use your personal information other than to provide the services requested by XV SERIES™.
Other Disclosures
Regardless of any choices you make regarding your personal information, XV SERIES™ may disclose personal information if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (i) in connection with any legal investigation; (ii) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on the XVSERIES™; (iii) to protect or defend the rights or property of XV SERIES™ or users of the Site; and/or (iv) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law or this Privacy Policy.
Changing or deleting your personal information
You may change any of your personal information by sending an email to us at info@xvseries.com. You may request deletion of your personal information by us, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request, but please note that we may be required to keep such information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives. We may also retain your information for fraud prevention or similar purposes.
Information collected via technology
Log Files
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may use third parties to analyze trends and user movement around the Site, administer the Site, gather demographic information about our user base, and better tailor the Site to our users’ needs.
Traffic Analytics
We may use a limited number of third-party service providers to help analyze how users use the Site (“Analytics Companies”). “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. These Analytics Companies use Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We may combine the information generated through the use of our Analytics Companies with your personal information. We use the information we get from these Analytics Companies only to improve the Site.
Mail and email communications
Periodically, we send out mailings and emails pertinent to XV SERIES™, including information on programs and events. When you receive newsletters or promotional communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive or by contacting us directly. Regardless of your indicated e-mail preferences, we may send you service-related communications, including notices of any updates to this Privacy Policy.
