Information Collection

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, Service, features and content, to administer your use thereof, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site and Service.

Information You Provide Us

When you register with us as a Xgene subscriber or when you choose to create your own profile webpage, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and business postal addresses. We use your Personal Information mainly to provide the Service and administer your inquiries.

We also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your profile webpage (e.g., without limitation, zip code and individual preferences) and use of the Service (“Non-Identifying Information”).

Information We Collect From Public Sources

If you have a profile, resume, or CV on a publicly-available website, we may collect information about you either directly or through third-party providers of such public information. This information is limited to your professional qualifications and contact information.

The information we collect about you will include personally identifiable information such as name, education, qualifications, work history, work title, contact information, and experience. We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., health, political affiliation) from any of these sites.

We may infer other characteristics about job candidates such as additional skills, so that recruiters and hiring managers can be more targeted when approaching candidates. We may infer “likely” personal characteristics of candidates, including gender, ethnicity, and/or country of origin (e.g. from first and last names, country where they attended university, service in armed forces, etc.) to help recruiters easily find highly-qualified diverse candidates.

All the information collected about job candidates is used to allow sourcing professionals to find professionals faster, smarter and better by using predictive algorithms and data-backed insights.

If we discover we have received any personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you find information on Xgene about anyone under the age of 18, contact us at belle.liu@xgenepharm.com.

Security

Xgene is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ reasonable physical, technological, and administrative security measures and attempt to ensure they are applicable under the circumstances. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Xgene’ data centers are located in the United States. If you live outside the United States, then by using our services, interacting with our website, or otherwise providing your personal data to us, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

If you live within the European Economic Area, Xgene complies with the the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and Swiss data privacy laws regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from data subjects who reside in the EU, and which has been adopted by the EEA.

Consistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, if Xgene transfers your personal information to a third party acting as Xgene’ agent on Xgene’ behalf (such as Xgene’ cloud hosting provider located in the United States) then Xgene shall remain liable if its agent processes your personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless Xgene can prove that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to damage.

Business Transfers

Xgene may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.

Phishing

Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to Xgene. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login password, social insurance number, social security number or any other national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication.
