At Exceptional Services SERVIXI Inc. ("Servixi" or "we"), we prioritize the protection of your personal information. That's why we have adopted this privacy policy (the "Policy"), which we adhere to.
This policy describes:
- the nature of the information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when you visit our website (www.servixi.com) (our "Website");
- our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and destruction of personal information from our customers and users of our Website ("you"); and
- your rights regarding your personal information.
We will use your personal information only in accordance with this Policy and any applicable law, including applicable laws regarding the protection of personal information (collectively the "Law"). We take commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the personal information we collect about you is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected.
The Law generally defines "personal information" as any information about an individual that, alone or combined with other information, can identify the individual. Personal information does not include your business contact information.
This Policy applies to the information we collect about you:
- on this Website;
- in emails and other communications between you and Servixi; or
- when you interact with our advertisements and applications on third-party websites and services, to the extent that these applications or advertisements include links to this Policy.
The Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, advertisements, or applications. Clicking on these links or activating these connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or activate a third-party plug-in, please note that this Policy will not apply to your relationship with that third party or your interactions with its website or plug-ins, and that these third parties may have adopted their own policies on the protection of personal information. We are not responsible at any time for the actions or omissions of any third party or for the personal information protection policies they may have adopted or failed to adopt. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the applicable privacy policies for each website you visit.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and destruction of your personal information. If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, you may choose not to use our Website. By accessing or using this Website and any services offered by Servixi or by interacting with Servixi and/or its representatives, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the terms of this Policy.
This Policy may be amended from time to time without notice, and the new terms of the Policy will take effect upon publication, unless otherwise indicated. By continuing to use this Website after we have made changes to this Policy, you signify that you accept and consent to these changes; therefore, we invite you to regularly review this Policy for updates. We will inform you in advance, to the extent technically and legally possible, through the contact information we have, of any significant changes made to this Policy, and we will obtain your consent for any new ways of collecting, using, disclosing, retaining, and destroying your personal information.

- Non-personal information, which does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity or directly relate to an identifiable person, such as demographic information or statistical or aggregated information.

DATA SECURITY
The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We store all information you provide to us behind firewalls on secure servers.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect them, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any circumvention of privacy settings or security measures on the Website.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Unless a legal or regulatory obligation dictates or justifies a longer retention period, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected them, including to comply with any legal, accounting, or compliance requirements. Once these purposes are accomplished, we will destroy your personal information in accordance with the provisions of applicable laws.
In certain circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymized and depersonalized data for legitimate business purposes without notifying you and without your consent.
