We may provide you with the opportunity to “opt-out” of having Personal Data stored at Dixa. If you decide to opt-out, we may not be able to provide certain features of the Dixa Services to you.
Since Dixa has no direct relationship with the Customers’ users/customers, a person who seeks access to, or wants to correct or delete inaccurate data or withdraw consent for further contact must contact the Customer directly. We will delete, amend or block access to any Personal Data that we are storing only if we receive a written request to do so from the Customer who is responsible for such Personal Data, unless we have a legal right to retain such Personal Data.

You can remove or block certain cookies using the settings in your browser but the Dixa Services may cease to function properly if you do so. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. California privacy rights
Provided you are a California resident, California law dictates that you may request information about any sharing of Personal Data with third-parties for direct marketing purposes. Please see instructions and regulation in the Shine the Light Law. Requests shall be made in writing to the Dixa support team.
California law also requires that inform how we respond to a “Do Not Track” signal which some browsers offer to send. Since there is no uniform way to handle these signals, DIxa has not found a best practice, and as such respond to the “Do Not Track” signals. When the industry has decided on a best practice, we intent to follow such.
6. Minors privacy
As stated in our Terms of Service/ the Agreement, the Dixa Services are not for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 18 without obtaining parental consent. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use or access the Dixa Services. Should we learn that Personal Data has been collected through the Dixa Services from children under 18 years of age without verifiable parental consent, we will seek to delete this information.
To the extent that a minor has posted content on the Dixa Services which is available for a group of people, the minor has the right to have this content deleted or removed using options described in this Policy. Even though we will do our outmost to permanently remove content, we cannot guarantee the deletion will be complete.
7. Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through public internet, and we also employ application-layer security features to further anonymize Personal Data.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If you believe your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us as set forth in the “How to Contact Us” section.
If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
