1.
TERMS
OF SERVICE.
Use of the ByteXL Service is subject to the terms of our terms of use
found at https://www.bytexl.com/terms-and-conditions.php, which is hereby
incorporated and made part of this Privacy Policy. By using the ByteXL Service,
you agree to be bound by our terms of use.
2.
TYPES
AND USES OF COLLECTED INFORMATION.
ByteXL collects two types of information about you:
(a)
Personally Identifiable
Information. Personally identifiable information is information that
identifies a specific person. When you engage in certain activities via the
ByteXL Service, including but not limited to creating an account, participating
in a course, sending feedback, or otherwise participating in the ByteXL Service
(collectively, Identification
Activities), we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself
(Personally Identifiable Information). If you elect to engage in an
Identification Activity, however, we may ask you to provide us with certain
personal information about yourself, such as your name, address (including zip
code), email address and/or telephone number. When you enroll
in the ByteXL Service, we may also ask you to provide us with additional
information, such as credit card information. Depending on the Identification
Activity, some of the information we ask you to provide may be identified as
mandatory and some identified as voluntary. If you do not provide mandatory
information for a particular Identification Activity, you will not be permitted
to engage in that Identification Activity with the ByteXL Service. Depending on
the Identification Activity, ByteXL may not ask you to resubmit Personally
Identifiable Information if such information is already stored with us.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information to provide products and/or
services to you, enhance the operation of the ByteXL Service, improve our
marketing and promotional efforts, analyze use of the
ByteXL Service, improve the ByteXL Service, and tailor your experience with
third parties as provided below in this Privacy Policy. We may also use
Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes,
accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce our agreements with you,
including our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable
law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
We may also obtain information from other sources, such as third-party
applications, services, sites that you use to connect to our sites. We may
combine that information with information we collect on our sites.
(b)
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information. Non-personally identifiable information is
information that does not identify a specific person and may include things
like the uniform resource locator (URL)
of the website you visited before coming to the ByteXL Service or otherwise
participating in the ByteXL Service, the URL of the website you visit after
leaving the ByteXL Service, the type of browser you are using, your internet protocol
address, i.e., IP address, mobile carrier information, mobile device
information, or general and/or aggregated location data that does not
constitute Personally Identifiable Information (Non-Personally Identifiable
Information). We, and/or our authorized Third Party
Service Providers, may automatically collect this information when you visit or
use the ByteXL Service through the use of electronic tools like cookies and web
beacons or pixel tags, as described below in this Privacy Policy. Most of the
other information we collect for mobile, includes information such as your
mobile device identification and mobile device type, the request type, your
mobile carrier, your mobile carrier user identification, and the content of
your request, which does not by itself identify you to ByteXL, though it may be
unique or consist of or contain information that you consider personal.
We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, administer the
ByteXL Service, analyze trends, gather demographic
information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement
activities. We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party Service
Providers to measure the overall effectiveness of our products and services.
We may use collected information to provide you with services. We
may use information for ensuring the safety of the ByteXL Service, services,
features, content, environment, and third parties. We may use information for
protecting the copyright, any kind of property rights of ByteXL, our users, and
third parties.
3.
SECURITY
OF INFORMATION
3.1
Our practices and procedures in relation to the collection and use
of personal data have been set out below in order to
ensure the safe usage of the Website for you. We have implemented reasonable
security practices and procedures that are commensurate with the information
assets being protected and with the nature of our activities. While we try our
best to provide security that is better than industry standards, because of the
inherent vulnerabilities of the internet, we cannot ensure or warrant complete
security of all information that is being transmitted to us by you. This
Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time without notice. To make sure
you are aware of any changes, please review this Privacy Policy periodically.
By visiting the Website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this Privacy Policy.

OWNERSHIP

Information, you represent that you have the right to share it with us and

information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, ByteXL has the
right to suspend or terminate use of ByteXL Services at its sole discretion.

We will not sell or share your Personally Identifiable Information
with other parties except as provided below:
(a)
Authorized Third Party
Service Providers. ByteXL may provide products and services

way for us to connect with people, based upon your past interactions with the
ByteXL Service. Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by ByteXL to perform
remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, including Google, may
show ByteXL ads on sites on the Internet. Third-party vendors may use cookies
to serve ads based on a users prior visits to the ByteXL Service. Users may
opt out of Googles use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out
page at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.
(c)
Acquisition. As with any other
company, we could merge with, or be acquired by another company. If this
occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain,
including Personally Identifiable Information. However, Personally Identifiable
Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
(d)
As required by law. We reserve the
right to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information as required by law
and when we believe that disclosure is necessary (i) to protect our rights
and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served
on us, (ii) to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, terms of use, or other
agreements, or (iii) to protect the rights, property or safety of the ByteXL
Service, users of the ByteXL Service or others.
(e)
Release of
Non-Personally Identifiable Information We may disclose or
share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Third Party Service Providers
and the general public. For example, we may share
aggregated demographic information (which does not include any Personally
Identifiable Information) or use Third Party Service Providers to track and analyze the usage, volume, and statistical information in
relation to Non-Personally Identifiable Information of our users to administer
the ByteXL Service. We may also publish this aggregated information for promotional
purposes. Such data is collected on our behalf and is owned and used by us.
We may use Third Party Service Providers to serve ads when you participate in
the ByteXL Service. These companies may use Non-Personally Identifiable
Information about your visits and use of the ByteXL Service, and visits to
other websites or locations in order to provide,
through the use of network tags, advertisements about goods and services that
may be of interest to you.
(f)
Updating Information. If you are
enrolled in the ByteXL Service, you may change any of your Personally
Identifiable Information by logging into your account and accessing the https://bytexl.app/update-password and https://bytexl.app/join. We encourage you to
promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes, as
out-of-date Personally Identifiable Information may negatively affect the
quality of your ByteXL Service experience.
(g)

Collection/Use of Information. You can always choose not to provide
certain information, although a certain level of information is required to
engage and participate in the ByteXL Service. You cannot opt-out of

SECURITY INFORMATION.
6.1
You can access your Personally Identifiable
Information via the ByteXL Service with your password and username. This
password is encrypted. We advise against sharing your password with anyone. If
you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have
additional or different sign-in protections via that third-party site or
service. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personally
Identifiable Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other
sign-in mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer, browser,
or mobile device by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may
compromise the security of user information at any time. In
the event that we believe that the security of your information may have
been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. In addition,
your Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only
selected personnel and contractors have access to. We encrypt certain sensitive
information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your
Personally Identifiable Information is safe as it is transmitted to us.
However, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we employ commercially reasonable security measures as prescribed by
applicable laws to protect data and seek to partner with companies that do the
same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or
from or via the ByteXL Service. Apart from ensuring that the third parties with
which such information is shared have adopted a level of data protection as
prescribed by applicable law, we are not responsible for the actions of any
third parties that may receive any such information.
