Handling of Personal Information

PXiSE is aware of the importance of safeguarding the privacy of such information when handling electronic information. In some cases, PXiSE may subcontract the management of a specific website, whole or a part thereof, to an outside firm that PXiSE judges to be trustworthy. The personal information of each individual user is also protected in these cases under PXiSE’s third-party rules of handling personal information.

Personal data collection, anonymous data collection, and cookies

Disclosure of data

PXiSE will not disclose personal information provided by users to any party, other than PXiSE itself or PXiSE’s affiliates, business partners, or organizations contracted to provide services on PXiSE’s behalf, where the provision of such services requires access to such information (i.e. recruiters), without prior permission from the users.

Likewise, PXiSE may disclose personal information in cases where such disclosure is mandatory under applicable laws or is reasonably judged to be essential in order to protect and safeguard the rights, property, and safety of other users, PXiSE itself, and/or PXiSE’s affiliates.

Data and third parties

To provide you with a broader range of information, the website includes links to other websites. The fact that we include links to those sites does not mean that we endorse the owners or content of those websites; that we have reviewed or approve the privacy policies of those sites; or that we have discussed privacy with the owners of those sites.

We cannot be responsible for the content, privacy, or other practices of those sites. You should carefully review the privacy and other policies, or online agreements posed at those sites before using or disclosing personal information while navigating those sites. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. While no security measures are perfect, our website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. We cannot, however, assume any liability for third-party usage of your personal information, whether obtained legally or illegally from our system.

Deletion of data

We do not intend that our website will be used by children, and we do not seek to collect any information from children under the age of 13. If any child should provide us with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian may notify us at info@pxise.com and we will delete such information from our records.

At some point, we may be acquired, merge with another entity, or acquire or buy other entities or assets. In such transactions, both personally and non-personally identifiable information will likely be one of the transferred assets.

PXiSE will accept, to a reasonable extent, such possible user requests as making corrections or deletions to personal information presented by users. PXiSE may use the IP addresses of users recorded in the system, to explore the cause of or solution to any problem arising in servers, or to administer its websites.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2023

This section is for compliance with The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2021 (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2023 (“CPRA”). This section applies only to the citizens of California.
Throughout the process of handling your data, PXiSE will provide transparency by allowing our Californian consumers to know what personal information is being collected about them upon receipt of a verifiable request.

PXiSE complies with the CCPA by providing notice through this policy of what data is being collected and for what purpose. PXiSE will provide Californian consumers with notice if additional data is needed and the purpose for which it is needed. Our Californian consumers can ask for the personal data we have collected on them at any time by submitting a verifiable consumer request. PXiSE will then either mail or electronically send the collected personal data free of charge to that consumer. This information can be requested at any time. However, this information cannot be requested more than 2 times in a 12-month span.

Anonymous data is not subject to the same terms as mentioned above. Additionally, data that is collected in a one-time transaction that is not retained or sold is not considered personal information and also is not subject to the terms above.

PXiSE can provide Californian consumers the categories of third parties with which the information is shared or sold to upon receipt of a verifiable request. PXiSE may share data with third parties, but they are not allowed to sell to another party without receiving explicit written notice from that consumer and giving that consumer a chance to opt out from the sale of their data. PXiSE cannot assume responsibility for that third party’s handling of data. Californian consumers have the option to opt out of the sale of their personal data by PXiSE by a verifiable request. Our Californian clients can also request to know what third-party their information has been sold or disclosed to.

Our Californian clients have the right to request deletion of their personal information from our records. Upon a verifiable request to delete, PXiSE will delete all personal data from their records and direct any of our service providers to do the same.

PXiSE or its service provider does not have to comply with a Californian consumer’s request to delete the consumer’s personal information if it is necessary for the business or service provider to maintain the Californian consumer’s personal information to:

1. Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by the Californian consumer, or reasonably anticipated within the context of a business’s ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract between the business and the consumer.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
3. Debug the software to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality. Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program to identify the errors or make the software free from errors so it can function as expected.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 CA Penal Code § 1546 (2016).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the businesses’ deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research if the consumer has provided informed consent.
7. To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business.
8. Comply with all legal obligations.
9. Otherwise use the Californian consumer’s personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.

Requests to exercise the right to deletion, correction, right to a copy, and/or the right to know may be submitted by email to info@pxise.com. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California consumers as required by law.

Transfer of your Personal Data

PXiSE may provide access to your Personal Data or transfer it to:

• representatives, agents in your country/region
• our parent company Yokogawa Electric Corporation, PXiSE affiliates
• subcontractors to fulfill our purposes

When such access or transfer is made to a country outside the EEA and Switzerland not offering an adequate level of data protection, it shall only take place pursuant to your explicit consent or another applicable derogation for specific access or transfer.

Your rights in relation to our processing of your Personal Data

You have the right to request access to your Personal Data as processed by us and to have it corrected if it is inaccurate, or deleted unless PXiSE is legally required to retain it. You also have the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected, restrict our processing of your Personal Data or to object to such processing, under the conditions and within the limits set forth in the applicable law.

The above rights can be exercised by mailing a request to info@pxise.com
When responding to your request to exercise the above rights, PXiSE may ask you to provide evidence of your identity. PXiSE may reject requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular, because of their repetitive character.

If you are concerned about the compliance of your legal rights in relation to your privacy, you may also contact your local privacy data protection authority.

We may update this Policy from time to time. You will find the date of the last update on the top of the page and you will be informed of any change when you visit our website next time.
