Crossmedia, Inc. (“Crossmedia”) takes privacy and data security seriously. We are committed to clearly informing visitors about the collection and use of their information when using our services. As a result, we have put together this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use and disclose certain information. This Privacy Policy only applies to our website and service located at xmedia.com (the “Web site”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other product, service or website of ours or our clients. With respect to the personal information that our clients and their vendors we may collect from you outside of our Web site and provide to us via use of our services for our clients (“Service Data”), where permitted by law, we generally process such information only as a “service provider” or “data processor” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws) on behalf of our clients, who act as the “business” or “data controller” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws). Our clients are the parties that control the use of the Service Data and determine the purposes for which we process such information. While this Privacy Policy describes how we process Service Data on behalf of our clients, our clients are responsible for their own practices in collecting, using, and disclosing information they collect from you. To learn more about such clients’ use of your information and your rights that you may have over such information, please consult the privacy policy of the applicable company or publisher with whom you interact. Certain rights under this Privacy Policy only apply based on your country of residence. Please see the sections below titled California Privacy Rights; Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and other U.S. State Privacy Rights; and EU Data Subject Rights.
When using the Web site, you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to upload, certain personally identifiable information about yourself (“Personal Information”). Personal Information can include your name, email address, physical address and other information that specifically identifies you. Categories of Personal Information we collect include:
We will never collect Identity Data or Contact Data directly from you through this Web site unless you have voluntarily provided it to us.
In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information which does not specifically identify you (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information may include information regarding your use of the Web site, such as IP host address, pages viewed and other click-stream data. Non-Personal Information may be automatically collected by us from you without any separate notice other than this Privacy Policy.

We will only use your Personal Information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Information in the circumstances listed below. Except as described below, we do not share your Personal Information with any third party.
Please note that if you specifically consent to additional uses of your Personal Information, we may use your Personal Information in a manner consistent with that consent. Finally, we reserve the right to supplement your Personal Information with information we gather from other sources which may include information we gather from online and offline sources.
We are the data controller and are responsible for your Personal Information.
We may use and share Non-Personal Information to improve and enhance your experience on the Web site and for any other business activities. For example, we may share Non-Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties, such as business partners.
This Web site may contain links and interactive features with various third parties. If you already use these platforms, their cookies may be set on your device when using our Web site which allows them to recognize you through identifying tools including cookies. You should review the privacy practices of those third party and social media services since we do not control how they collect or use your information.
We will retain your information for as long as your account or inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the services and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We will delete your Personal Information upon written request as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Even if we delete some or all of your Personal Information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous data previously collected. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.
We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and us or information stored on the Web site or our servers, will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers and your use of the Web site demonstrates your assumption of this risk.
We believe that advertising is more effective and valuable to you when it is targeted to your general interests and behaviors. Therefore, we may work with third parties who collect information on our Web site and elsewhere through the use of cookies and similar methods in order to serve you with relevant advertisements on other services or to determine that you have seen our advertisements on other services. For example, if you view information on our Web site about certain types of services, we may target advertising to you on other websites and services (such as unaffiliated websites and social media services) about such types of services. This method of advertising is sometimes called “interest-based advertising.”
You do have the ability to control certain advertising practices. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out of targeted advertising from certain providers who comply with the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising as administered by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)by visiting the DAA’s consumer choice page. The opt-out process through the DAA relies upon the placement of an opt-out cookie on your device. We do not respond to or honor “do not track” (a/k/a DNT) signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, if you are a resident of jurisdiction that requires by law that we honor certain user-preference signals such as Global Privacy Control signals, we will treat those as a means of opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information, or of opting out of the processing of personal information for targeted advertising, as applicable.
For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile Apps, you can install the DAA’s AppChoices app on your device to opt-out of targeted advertising by certain providers and can also select a system level advertising preference feature on your device (such as “Limit Ad Tracking” on Apple devices).
We have no intention of collecting Personal Information from children under the age of 13. When we become aware that Personal Information from a child under 13 has been collected without such child’s parent or guardian’s consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this Privacy Policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use previously collected Personal Information in a way that materially differs from this Privacy Policy, we will provide you the opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. All changes to this Privacy Policy we will be posted here. Your continued use of the Web site following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such changes.
We provide you with choices regarding the information you provide to us.
We are not responsible for removing your information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided with your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information. This section describes the rights that California consumers have and explains how to exercise those rights. These rights are granted only to the extent that you are a California consumer and we are acting as a “business” under the CCPA with respect to your personal information. The rights in this section are not intended to grant you additional rights, but only your rights under the CCPA.

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose, or sell or share your personal information, subject to your right to opt out (see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights, below). The information above under Information We Collect; How We Collect It; How We Use It describes the entities with which we may disclose your personal information.
a. Right to Know
As a California consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure or sale of your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Your Rights, below), and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information. You have the right to request any or all of the following:
b. Right to delete
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Your Rights, below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. However, we maybe retain personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated. Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) in order to perform certain actions set forth under CCPA, such as detecting security incidents and protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity.
c. Right to Data Portability
You have the right to request a copy of personal information we have collected and maintained about you. The CCPA allows you to request your information from us up to twice during a 12-month period. We will provide our response in a readily usable (and usually electronic) format.
d. Right to Correct
You have the right to request the correction of any personal information we maintain about you.
e. Right to Opt Out of Selling or Sharing Your Personal Information
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, along with the right to opt in to the sale of such information. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is less than 16 (but greater than 13) years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. To our knowledge, we do not sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page: “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information/Opt-out.” We will also treat Global Privacy Control browser signals as valid opt-out requests.
f. Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
g. Exercising Your Rights
To exercise the rights described above, please contact us by using the following methods:
After submitting certain requests, we may take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In order to verify your identity, we may ask that you provide your name, email address, phone number, address, and relationship to us, so that we can seek to match this information with the information existing in our systems. When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify that the consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected personal information, we may contact you for more information, or we may not be able to meet your request.
Only you, or an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. If you are making a request as the authorized agent of a California consumer, we may ask you to submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by the consumer to act on such consumer’s behalf, such as a signed document.
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and eventually Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee and other U.S. States with comprehensive consumer privacy laws (“States”) have certain rights with respect to their personal information. The rights available to residents of these States are explained below, and vary based upon the State Laws applicable to us and to you. Such laws and being enact and modified on a regular basis, so these rights are evolving.
The categories of personal information we process, our purposes for processing your personal information, the categories of personal information that we share with third parties, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are set forth in the details of our Privacy Policy above.
In addition to the rights set forth in our Privacy Policy, the State Laws provide you with the following rights, except where indicated otherwise below:
If you wish to opt out of the processing of your personal information for any of the above purposes, and your state of residence provides for such opt-out right, please click here.
To exercise the rights described above, please contact us by using the following methods:
After submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and/or confirm that your request is not fraudulent. We may contact you for additional information as reasonably necessary to authenticate your request, but if we are ultimately unable to authenticate your request using reasonably commercial efforts, then we may not be able to comply with it.
Only you may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. If you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child regarding the processing of that child’s personal information, we may ask you to submit reliable proof of your identity.
We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, the certain State Laws allow an extension of our time to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reasons for doing so, and, for Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut residents, provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. Residents of those will have the right to appeal within a reasonable period of time after you have received our decision. Within the time provided by your State Law of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method for contacting your state’s regulatory authority to submit a complaint.
If you are a situated in the EU, UK or Switzerland under the General Data Protection Regulation and similar laws in such countries (“GDPR”), as a data subject, you have the following rights:
Additionally, if we rely on consent for the processing of your Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw it at any time and free of charge. When you do so, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal.
To exercise your rights under the GDPR, please contact us at legal@xmedia.com. Please note that in order for you to assert these rights, we may need to verify your identity to confirm your right to access your Personal Information. This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In order to verify your identity, we may need to gather more Personal Information from you than we currently have.
If you are situated in the EU and have any complaints regarding our privacy practices, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority.
