At Xeomics, we respect and value your need for privacy. This Privacy Notice tells you what personal information we collect and how we collect it.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Notice, we reserve the right to retain, provide access, and disclose your information, at our discretion, to the following third parties under the stated circumstances:

7. How do we protect your personal information?
We use a variety of industry-standard and reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure. Even though we have taken significant steps to protect your personal information, no company can fully eliminate security and privacy risks. There are no guarantees that a data transmission or storage system is 100% secure, and the security, integrity, and privacy of your personal information cannot be guaranteed despite our reasonable commercial efforts. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us using the details in the 'How can you contact us?' section of this notice.
8. How long do we keep your personal information?
We will retain your personal information for as long as we need it to provide our Services and to comply with our legal and/or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, support investigations, and enforce our agreements. Except when required by law, we will not be obligated to retain your personal information for any period of time and are free to delete it without providing any notice.
9. International data transfers
Our technology infrastructure is globally distributed, and we leverage one or more cloud service providers (such as, but not necessarily including, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google GCP). We may host, store, process, maintain, or transfer your personal information to various locations worldwide. The laws in some of these jurisdictions may not protect your privacy in the same way as your local jurisdiction. By using our Services, you provide your consent to the use, hosting, storage, processing, maintenance, and transfer of your personal information to countries outside your jurisdiction. Wherever applicable, we will comply with legal requirements in relation to international data transfers. Regardless of where your information is stored or processed, we apply the same protections described in this Privacy Notice.
