What Information We Collect or Process for our Sipdesk Mobile App

Xinix processes and in certain situations collects personal information as needed to deliver its Products and Services and manage its business. When collecting personal information, Xinix does so in a reasonable and lawful manner.
The types of information and the purposes for which Xinix collects or processes personal information may include:
Indirect End User Phone Contact Information (Personal Identifiable Information)
Xinix acts as a data processor with regard to indirect end user personal identifiable information and our Clients act as the data controller of such data. In the course of Xinix processing and protection of such data, all use will be in conformity with the data controller’s instructions.
Specifically, only when enabled via system permission on Sipdesk Mobile Android and Sipdesk Mobile iOS, Xinix shows personal contacts within the respective application. When the user sends an SMS message to one of his/her phone contacts, or when the user initiates a call to one of his/her phone contacts, the phone number is sent securely through Xinix API. Xinix does not store this number with any other PII, and it cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons; Xinix stores only the phone number and pertinent metadata so as to be compliant with all applicable state and federal laws, and Xinix does not share this data with any advertisers or third parties under any circumstances. A user can revoke phone contact access on his/her mobile device at any time, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.
Sipdesk Mobile Android and iOS also uses Gravatar, only when enabled via Settings and UIConfigs, which is a service that provides avatar images linked to the MD5 hash of the user’s email address. This means that, only when Gravatar use is enabled, we hash each contact’s email address and send it to Gravatar to try and retrieve an avatar image. MD5 hashes cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons, and we only send the MD5 hash to Gravatar, never the email address in plain text. As with phone contacts, a user can revoke Gravatar access at any time in Settings or via UIConfig, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.

Disclosure of information

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information to any member of the Xinix group of companies. We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under duty to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms and condition and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others. This includes the exchange of information for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

To provide you with products and services, we may be required to pass information to service partners based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Doing so does not diminish your rights. We take all necessary steps to ensure any personal details transferred outside the EEA will be treated in accordance with this policy.
