Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how InspectionXpert Corporation (“InspectionXpert,” “we,” “our,” “us”) collects, uses and discloses Personal Information when you interact with our main website at https://inspectionxpert.com (the “Website”), or any of our related websites, applications, or services that link to this Privacy Policy (each a “Service”) that are owned and controlled by InspectionXpert. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies or that could be used to identify you, and “Services” means, collectively, the Website and the Services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that our customers collect, create, or provide through use of the InspectionXpert platform used for purposes related to inspection management reporting. We refer to this information as “Customer Data.” Customer Data, which may include Personal Information contained in customer’s own technology environment, is owned and controlled by the customer. Our use and disclosure of Customer Data is governed by our agreements with customers. If you have questions about the information practices of customers that use the InspectionXpert platform, please review the customer’s privacy policy or contact the customer directly.

This Privacy Policy explains the following:

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW WE USE IT

The Personal Information we collect and how we use it depends on the context of your interactions with us. As explained below, we collect Personal Information when you provide it directly to us and when we receive it from third parties. We also collect certain information automatically when you interact with the Services.

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE US

Some of the Services may permit you to directly provide us with contact information, such as your full name and email address, and other information about you. This includes the following:

  • Information you provide when you complete a survey administered by us or a service provider acting on our behalf.
  • Payment information and associated contact information when you engage in a transaction with us.

Some of this information may be collected by external parties on our behalf. For example, we use a payment processor when you engage in a transaction on our website; InspectionXpert does not itself collect or store payment card information.

Additionally, if you apply for a job through the “Careers” page on our Website, we will collect information necessary to evaluate and contact you about your application, which may include your contact details, your resume/CV, employment history, job preferences, educational background, immigration status and entitlement to work; as well as information for diversity monitoring, such as your gender, race, disability or veteran status.

In some cases, we receive Personal information from third parties. For instance, while using our Services, individuals may provide information about another individual, or an authorized user (such as an account administrator) creating an account on your behalf may provide information about you.

We may also receive Personal Information from other third-party sources, including our service providers, such as online analytics providers.

When one individual provides us with information (including Personal Information) about another individual, we assume that the individual has permission and authority to do so and to consent on behalf of that individual to the collection and use of personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. Please contact us immediately (as provided in the How to Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy) if you become aware of an individual providing us with Personal Information about another individual without being authorized to do so.

CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INFORMATION RIGHTS AND CHOICES

The CCPA and other California laws provide consumers with specific rights regarding their California Personal Information. This section describes the rights you may have and explains how to exercise those rights.

  • Direct Marketing Disclosure Request Right. California residents who have an established business relationship with us may request information regarding third parties, if any, to whom we may have disclosed Personal Information (as defined by Cal.

If we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from you pursuant to the Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights section below, we will disclose one or all of the following depending on the scope of the request:
  • The categories of California Personal Information we collected about you over the past 12 months.
  • The categories of sources for the California Personal Information we collected about you over the past 12 months.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting California Personal Information about you over the past 12 months.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your California Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

EXERCISING ACCESS, DATA PORTABILITY, AND DELETION RIGHTS

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by sending an email to privacy@inspectionxpert.com, or sending your request by mail as set out in the How to Contact Us section below, with your first name, last name, and email address, and a detailed explanation of your request.

Only you, or an authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State that you provide written permission authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your California Personal Information. If an authorized agent makes a request on your behalf, prior to responding we may require the authorized agent to present written and signed proof of authorization to act on your behalf, verify your identity, and confirm the authorized agent’s permission to act on your behalf directly. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. Your request must provide information sufficient to permit us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected California Personal Information, or an authorized agent. To verify your request, we may ask you to provide information such as your first and last name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or any other information necessary to verify your identity representative of that person. Your request also must include sufficient detail for us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with California Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the California Personal Information relates to you.

If you have an online account with us, we may deliver our written response to that online account. If you do not have an online account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, if you have a password-protected account with us we consider requests made through that account sufficiently verified when the request relates to California Personal Information associated with that specific account.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable request. If we cannot fulfill, or are permitted to decline, your request then we will alert you or your authorized agent. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your California Personal Information that is readily usable.

If your request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, including if you have made several repetitive requests, we may charge a reasonable fee to respond. We also may decline to respond, in which case we will notify you.

NON-DISCRIMINATION

Subject to certain exceptions, you have a right to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your access, data portability, and deletion rights described above.
