What information is
Collected?
Xium collects personally
identifiable information,
including name, title,
company, address, e-mail
address, phone numbers,
etc. when a visitor
places an order with us.
We do not require this
information to obtain
access to any part of our
public site. In addition
to ordering, we may ask
you for personal
information at other
times, including by way
of example, when you
enter a sweepstakes,
contest or promotion
sponsored by Xium; when
you complete surveys or
other questionnaires; or
when you send an e-mail
to Xium.
Who is collecting the
information?
When you are on a Xium
site and are asked for
personal information, you
are sharing that
information with Xium,
Corp., its subsidiaries
and related companies.
The Xium Web site may
contain various links to
third-party Web sites.
These sites may provide
additional information,
goods, services and/or
promotions. These sites
are owned and operated
independently of Xium,
and have their own
separate privacy and data
collection practices. Any
information you provide
to these Web sites will
be governed under the
terms of their privacy
policy, if any. Xium has
no responsibility or
liability whatsoever for
the independent actions
or policies of these
independent sites, and is
not responsible for the
content or privacy
practices of such sites.
How is my information
used?
Xium's primary goal in
collecting personal
information is to
facilitate order
processing and to enable
us to contact you if a
problem arises with your
order. Providing such
information when making a
purchase is required.
This information may also
be used to provide you
with a customized
experience on our site,
which includes
interactive
communications, and other
services. The Xium site
may also contain optional
surveys and
questionnaires asking for
information, as well as
several opportunities for
visitors to ask
questions. We use the
information you provide
to help us design and
build better products, to
customize your shopping
experience, and to
provide advice and
purchase recommendations.
Taking part in any of
these segments is always
optional. We also use the
information we collect to
help target valuable
marketing and advertising
offers. This kind of
advertising may be done
with banner ads as well
as promotional e-mails
sent by Xium, or by third
parties under contract
with Xium. Finally, Xium
does research on our
users' demographics,
interests, and behavior
based on the information
provided to us when
making a purchase, during
a promotion, from surveys
and from our server log
files. We do this to
better understand and
serve our users. This
research is compiled and
analyzed on an aggregated
basis so as to prevent
identification of
personal information
relating to any one
individual. Xium may
share this aggregated
data with our business
partners.
With whom does Xium
share my information?
Except as outlined in
this policy or on our Web
site, Xium never provides
your personal information
to third-parties without
your consent. Xium shares
the information you
provide with Xium
subsidiaries and related
companies. Additionally,
if you purchase a
cellular phone, pager or
other device requiring
service, your personal
information is shared
with the service
provider/carrier with
which you subscribe.
Xium may also share your
personal information with
third-party business
partners so that they may
provide services to Xium
that are consistent with
the terms of this Privacy
Policy, and this Web
site. Xium takes great
pride in utilizing only
reputable business
partners. Xium may also,
on occasion, provide
personally identifiable
information to
third-party businesses as
part of a specific
product, service, or
promotion.
Xium may also disclose
personal information in
special cases when we
have reason to believe
that disclosing this
information is necessary
to identify, contact or
bring legal action
against someone who may
be violating this site's
Terms of Use or may be
violating Xium's or
other's rights or causing
injury to or interference
with Xium's or other's
property. Xium may also
disclose or access
personal information when
we believe in good faith
that the law requires it.
Xium may match user
information with third
party data to help us
better understand our
customers (customer
profiling). Xium may also
disclose aggregated user
statistics in order to
describe our Web site to
prospective business
partners, advertisers,
and other third parties,
and for other lawful
purposes.
What choices do I have
regarding collection, use
and distribution of my
information?
Xium or its business
partners may, from time
to time, send you e-mail
or direct mail regarding
our products and
services. If you do not
want to receive such
information, simply tell
us when you give us your
personal information, or
follow the directions
contained on it to remove
you name from our mailing
list.
On certain types of Xium
promotions, we will ask
for your e-mail address
in order to contact you
in the event you have won
a prize. When you
participate in these
types of promotions, you
automatically receive
promotion-related e-mail.
Occasionally these
promotion-related e-mail
messages may include
targeted advertisements.
If you do not wish to
receive such
advertisements, you can
choose not to participate
in such promotions or
contests.
You also have choices
with respect to cookies.
By modifying your browser
preferences, you have the
choice to accept all
cookies, to be notified
when a cookie is set, or
to reject all cookies.
What Security measures
does Xium use to protect
my information from loss,
misuse or alteration?
When you place an order
or provide personal
information, your
transactions are
encrypted for security.
Encryption scrambles the
information in your
purchase, including your
credit card number, so
this information can only
be viewed by Xium.
Xium uses Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) encryption
technology, the highest
level of security on the
Internet. The SSL
protocol provides server
authentication, data
integrity, and privacy on
the Web. This security
measure helps ensure that
no impostors,
eavesdroppers, or vandals
get your personal
information. SSL not only
encrypts your personal
and financial information
transmitted, including
credit card information,
but also verifies the
identity of the server
and that the original
message arrives safely at
its destination.
However, no data
transmission over the
Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result,
while we strive to
protect your personal
information, Xium cannot
ensure or warrant the
security of any
information you transmit
to us or from our Web
site, and therefore you
use our site at your own
risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we use
our best effort to ensure
its security on our
systems.
As a global company Xium
has international sites
and users all over the
world. When you give Xium
personal information,
that information may be
sent electronically to
servers outside of the
country where you
originally entered the
information. In addition,
that information may be
used, stored and
processed outside of the
country where you entered
that information.
Whenever Xium handles
personal information,
regardless of where this
occurs, it takes steps to
ensure that your
information is treated
securely and in
accordance with the
relevant Terms of Use and
this Privacy Policy.
How can I correct or
change or view my
personal information?
If you would like to
correct, change or view
any personal information
you have provided, or
remove your name from our
mailing list, please
e-mail us at privacy@goxium.com
What about my child's
privacy?
Xium products and
services are directed at
an adult market, and
therefore this site is
intended for use by
adults only. Xium
encourages parents to
take an active role in
their children's use of
the Internet, and to
inform them of the
dangers of providing
information about
themselves over the
Internet. No information
should be submitted to or
posted on this Web site
by users under 13 years
of age without the
consent of their parent
or guardian.
Users that Xium knows to
be under the age of 13
are required to provide
the e-mail address of
their parent or guardian
so that Xium may alert
the parent or guardian of
their child's use of this
Web site. The parent or
guardian must consent to
Xium's collection of
their child's personal
information. A known
child user will be
restricted from providing
personal information
until such consent is
received. No information
collected from users
known to be under age 13
will be used for any
marketing or promotional
purposes outside Xium
Corp..
