What Information We Collect

We request Personally Identifiable Information when you request an account with the Site, participate in certain promotional activities, request information, fill out surveys, and correspond with us.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. The non-personally identifiable data we collect when you visit our Site may include the Uniform Resource Locator of the Web site that you came from before visiting our Site, which pages you visit on our Site, which URL you next go to, which browser you used to come to our Site, your Internet Protocol address, and any search terms entered on our Site.

We never associate the Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information we collect on our Site.

Why We Collect Your Information
|
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide customers and potential customers with superior service and to provide all visitors a smooth and efficient experience while using our Site. For example, if you request information on our Site, we use your Personally Identifiable Information to fulfill your request. We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information on an aggregated basis to analyze visitor behavior to help us understand how visitors use our Site and to measure interest and navigability in the various pages. We use this information to improve the content of our Site, to make our Site easier to use, and to understand what our visitors are looking for when they visit the Site.

How We Use Your Information
|
We gather and use information in a number of ways, including the following:
Surfing: We collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information when you visit our Site. We collect this information to help run our Site more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our Site.
Account Registration: We collect Personally Identifiable Information when you create an account with our Site. This information is necessary to present you with the proper context-sensitive menus, verify your authorization to certain sections of the Site, get in contact with you in case there are problems or questions, and, since certain parts of our site are secured, to verify your e-mail address for security purposes. We may also ask if you'd like to request any information when you register for an account. In this case, your account registration is also an information request.
Information Requests: We collect Personally Identifiable Information when you request information on our Site. This information will be used to complete your request.
We do not sell, trade, or rent to others the Personally Identifiable Information we collect. Unless we have your permission, we will share the Personally Identifiable Information you provide online only with other X1 Solutions entities and/or businesses that provide services to X1 Solutions and only for the purposes described above. Where X1 Solutions engages third parties to perform services on our behalf, we will require them to observe the intent of this Privacy Statement.
From time to time, we may be required to provide Personally Identifiable Information in response to a court order, subpoena, or government investigation. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. We may release certain Personally Identifiable Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
X1 Solutions or its related entities could merge with or be acquired by another business entity or their respective assets could be acquired. Should such a combination or acquisition occur, you should expect that X1 Solutions would share some or all of your Personally Identifiable Information to continue serving you and other users of our Site.
X1 Solutions will not use or share the Personally Identifiable Information collected on our Site in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you provided the information, including those described above, without providing you a choice whether to permit any such unrelated uses. At the time you provide your information, we will offer you a choice as to whether you want to receive further communications about special offers, product information or other marketing messages. If you choose not to receive these communications, we will not use the information you provide for this purpose. If you change your mind about receiving further information from X1 Solutions, let us know by sending an e-mail with your name, full mailing address, and e-mail address to info@x1solutions.com and we will do all we can to honor your request.
