Individuals have rights concerning their personal data. If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, including the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or the CCPA, such as the right to request access to, and rectification or erasure of your personal data held with Exelot, or to restrict or object to such personal data’s processing, or to port such personal data, or the right to equal services and prices, (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you) – please contact us by e-mail at: privacy@exelot.com.
Please note that such rights are not absolute. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal data that we hold about you. In the event that we cannot accommodate your request, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Please also note that we may require additional information, including certain personal data, in order to authenticate and process your request. Such additional information may be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 4 above. We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.
If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding data we process on our Customer’s behalf, please contact the administrator of such Customer’s account directly. For example, if you are a User or a Recipient of our Customer and you wish to access, correct, or delete data processed by Exelot on behalf of our Customer, please direct your request to the relevant Customer (who is the “data controller” of such data – see Section 10 below). Note that if you do contact us, we may share your communications with our Customer and its Users.
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR or the CCPA typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “data controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
(i) With respect to Prospect data and User data, Exelot assumes the responsibilities of a data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of data processors.
(ii) With respect to Recipient data, Exelot assumes the responsibilities of a “data processor”, processing the data on behalf of our Customer. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “sub-processors”.
Accordingly, Exelot processes Recipients personal data strictly in accordance with such Customer’s reasonable instructions and as further stipulated in our DPA and other commercial agreements with such Customer. The Customer, as controller of such data, will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to business. For the avoidance of doubt, each Customer is solely responsible for providing adequate notice to their Users and Recipients whose personal data may be processed – including sufficient reference to the processing of their personal data via the Services, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws; and to obtain all approvals and consents from such individuals as required under such laws.
Updates and Amendments: we may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an amended version on our Services. The amended version will be effective as of the date it is published. We will provide prior notice if we believe any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via the Sites, Platform and/or Services. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.
External Links: while our Services may contain links to other websites or services, we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to pay attention when you leave our Services for the website or application of such third-parties, and to read the privacy policies of each and every website and service you visit. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Services.
Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16: we do not knowingly collect personal data from children and do not wish to do so. If we learn that a person under the age of 16 is using the Services, we will attempt to prohibit and block such use and will make our best efforts to promptly delete any personal data stored with us with regard to such child. If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by e-mail at privacy@exelot.com.
EU & UK Representatives: Exel-Med Limited (our subsidiary located in Cyprus) and Exelot UK Ltd. (our UK subsidiary) have been designated as Exelot’s representatives in the European Union and the United Kingdom, respectively, for data protection matters. They may be contacted only on matters related to the processing of personal data. To make such an inquiry, please send an email to privacy@exelot.com while stating the relevant entity you would like to contact. If you are a GDPR-protected individual, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with an EU supervisory authority or the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Questions, concerns or complaints: if you have any comments or questions regarding our Privacy Policy, or if you have any concerns regarding your personal data held with us, or if you wish to make a complaint about how your personal data is being processed by Exelot, you can contact us at privacy@exelot.com.
