Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy – updated on 2023-04-10.
The Internet is an amazing tool. With only a few mouse clicks, you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others from around the world. It’s essential to Exfluency™ to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.
Your privacy is important to you and to us. We believe your business is no one else’s. So, we’ll protect the information you share with us. To protect your privacy, Exfluency follows different principles in accordance with worldwide customer privacy and data protection practices.
- We won’t sell or give away your name, mail address, phone number, e-mail address, or any other information to anyone.
- We use state-of-the-art security measures to protect your information from unauthorised users.
NOTICE
This Privacy Policy applies to the Exfluency website and language services platform (the “Exfluency Platform“, the “app”) but does not apply to any third-party websites that may be linked to our websites, which their privacy policies will govern.
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you apply for a job, create a profile in our app, use our software, fill in our surveys, or subscribe to our newsletters.
We use your Personal Information for five primary purposes
- To make the site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
- To help you quickly find software, services, or information.
- To help us create content most relevant to you.
- To alert you about product upgrades, special offers, updated information, and other new services from Exfluency.
- To provide you full access to our app and its features.
CONSENT
If you choose not to provide personal information or register, you can still use most Exfluency websites. But you will not be able to access areas that require registration, like our app.
If you decide to register, you will be able to select the kinds of information you want to receive from us by subscribing to various services, like our electronic newsletters. If you do not want us to communicate with you about other offers regarding Exfluency products, programs, events, or services by e-mail, postal mail, or telephone, you may select the option stating that you do not wish to receive messages from Exfluency.
SECURITY
Exfluency has taken strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honoured. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is only shared outside the company with your permission, except as necessary for our legitimate professional and business needs to carry out your requests, and/or as required or permitted by law or professional standards. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in Switzerland or any other country where Exfluency, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your username and password, so do not share these with others.
NOTICE TO PARENTS
Parents or guardians: we want to help you guard your children’s privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet.
The Exfluency site does not publish content that is targeted at children. Our site/s are not intentionally designed for or directed at children under the age of 16. Our policy is never to collect or maintain information about anyone under 16 knowingly.
ENFORCEMENT
If, for some reason, you believe Exfluency has not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail at privacy@exfluency.com, and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly. Make sure the words ‘Privacy Policy’ are in the subject line.
USER PROFILES
As mentioned above, every registered user on our platform (our app) has a unique personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile.
When you register in our app, we create your profile, assign a personal identification number, and then send this unique identification number back to your hard drive in the form of a cookie. This code is uniquely yours. It is your passport to seamless travel across exfluency.com and app.exfluency.com, allowing you to use our software, subscribe to our newsletters, and visit particular areas of our website/s without filling out registration forms with information you’ve already provided. You won’t have to re-register even if you switch computers – just use your registration credentials to identify yourself.
WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE
When you join us, you provide us with your contact information, including your e-mail address.

But we don’t use this information for any other purposes without your permission.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing, and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail, and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
