What Information Do We Collect?

Our main goal in gathering personal data from you is to give you a secure, hassle-free, effective, and individualized experience. This enables us to tailor our service to fit your unique demands and give services and features that are most likely to satisfy them. Only the personal data about you that we deem relevant for achieving this goal is collected by us.

You can generally browse the Site without identifying yourself to us or disclosing any personal information about yourself. As stated on the application forms on the Site, we may ask you for certain contact and identity information, billing information, and other personal information once you register as a User (which varies, depending on what kind of User you are). On these forms, we try to make it clear which fields are necessary and which ones are optional.

Additionally, you may occasionally enter or give us personal information when you use the website. For instance, as a Subscriber, you can input your own timesheet and other billing details, and as a Customer, you can enter details about paying any invoices filed by a Subscriber. As you use the Site, you may occasionally enter personal data regarding third parties that is pertinent to the services we offer. For instance, if you are a Subscriber, you may enter personal data about your clients or employees in the course of the services.

You can always opt not to supply information by opting not to register as a User or by choosing not to use the specific website function for which the information is being gathered.

We obtain your credit card details for billing purposes if you are a Subscriber. Additionally, we gather and keep your credit card information for payment reasons if you are a Customer who wants to make recurring payments to a Subscriber.

In order to offer you content from our partners while maintaining the appearance and feel of our website, some of our sites where personal data is gathered use framing techniques. Please be aware that you are giving these third parties—and not www.xtrakit.com—your personal information (in each case the relevant third party will be identified to you via that section of the website).

Other Information Collectors

This document exclusively deals with the use and sharing of the information we obtain from you, unless otherwise specifically stated in this Privacy Policy. Different guidelines may apply to the use, collection, and sharing of the personal information you give to others through the Site, whether they be Subscribers, Customers, or someone else entirely.

Correcting, Updating, and Transferring Your Personal Information

You can log in to your account to make the changes and review, remove, and check that your personal information is accurate, or you can email us at support@xtrakit.com.

For example, we might need to see proof of identification from the government before we can give you personal information.

Account Deletion

Millions of people are connected through the sophisticated business network known as XtraKit. Contractors, businesses, and consumers are all included in the business eco-system that is managed by XtraKit. This network depends on the sharing and exchanging of data that is crucial to other members of your network. For the employees who work with you, tracked hours, submitted invoices, paid invoices, and contractor invoices are all essential. These serve as the formal record of work completed and payments made.

Because of the system's complexity and interconnectedness, this history must last for as long as is necessary to support effective operation and accounting for the other systems to which you have connected via contracting hours, invoices, and estimates. When information is no longer needed for the service to operate properly, XtraKit will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is removed legally and will take any requests for deletion into account.

If a client decides to end their account, we will delete their information from our billing and marketing databases. This will guarantee that the user who has cancelled will not get any more mailings or bills.

Data Retention

As long as your account is open and active or as long as it's necessary to offer you services, we'll keep your information on file.

We want to keep your information for as long as it takes to comply with legal requirements and generally accepted accounting principles, settle disagreements, and uphold our agreements. This retention term can continue beyond the time when you close your account.

The kind of data will determine the criteria used to establish retention periods. The temporary cookie data of a web visitor may not be maintained at all, however, data pertinent to accounting information will be kept for at least 7 years.
