TERMS & CONDITIONS
PRINCIPLES
These terms and conditions are here for your protection and ours and necessarily include some scary-sounding legal stuff. The general principles behind the service we offer are these:
- We will take all reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorised access to your data.
- Your data is your data. We will not willingly disclose your data to any third parties or even look at it ourselves without your prior explicit agreement.
- We may find ourselves legally obliged to disclose your data to a third party under UK law. We will do so only when we are satisfied that the authority behind the request is incontestable. We will try to alert you if this happens. We have received no such requests at this time. We will try to remove the previous sentence from this page if such a request must be complied with.
- If Xenapto becomes unavailable for any reason we will try to make sure you can get a copy of your data.
- Dominic, Greg and the Xenapto team
Now here's the legal stuff…
