Your privacy is very important to us.
At Xpression Xtreme we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
– We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
– We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
– We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Xpression Xtreme collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Xpression Xtreme’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Xpression Xtreme’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Xpression Xtreme may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Xpression Xtreme also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Xpression Xtreme only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used.
We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We don’t share any personally identifying information publicly or with third-parties, except when required to by law.
Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies.

How we protect your data
Xpression Xtreme will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Xpression Xtreme discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Xpression Xtreme believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Xpression Xtreme, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Xpression Xtreme website and have supplied your email address, Xpression Xtreme may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Xpression Xtreme and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Xpression Xtreme takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
