Your Privacy Rights


This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect through our payments products and services ("XTRM Services") and via our online presence, which include our main website at xtrm.com, other websites operated by us that we enable users to access via internet, and our mobile applications (collectively, our "Sites"). This policy also describes how we use personal information, with whom we share it, your privacy rights and choices regarding our collection, use, storage, sharing and protection of your personal information, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. The use of the XTRM Services and Sites is also subject to our Terms and Conditions, which are available here.

XTRM obtains personal information about you from various sources to provide our XTRM Services and to manage our Sites. "You" may be a visitor to one of our websites ("Visitor"), a user of one or more of our Services ("User"), or a customer of a User ("Customer"). If you are a Customer, XTRM will generally not collect your personal information directly from you. Your agreement with the relevant User should explain how the User shares your personal information with XTRM, and if you have questions about this sharing, then you should direct those questions to the User.

Scope and Consent 

You accept and expressly consent to the information-handling practices described in this Privacy Policy when you sign up for, access, or use our products, XTRM Services, or Sites. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described herein, do not access or use our products, the XTRM Services, or our Sites or provide us with your information.

We reserve the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time, or to create additional policies, in order to accurately reflect changed circumstances or new legal requirements. As a result, it is important that you read this Privacy Policy closely so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your personal information.

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. The revised version will be effective as of the published "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our Sites or the XTRM Services after any chances is deemed to be acceptance of those changes.

Aggregate or Anonymized Data


Please note that in each case above, we may aggregate or anonymize the foregoing types of information such that they are no longer capable of identifying you, in which case they are no longer considered “personal information.”


Information we collect automatically

When you access or use XTRM Services and Sites, we collect information sent to us by various technologies that automatically collect information about your computer, mobile phone or other access device. These technologies may be used and deployed by us, our Users, or our service providers and vendors. Note, the technologies we use to collect information from your interaction with the XTRM Services or our Sites may be provided to us by vendors that collect your personal information using those same technologies instantaneously and simultaneous to our collection of your personal information. 

The information sent to us includes, but is not limited to, the following: data about the pages you access, computer IP address, device ID or unique identifier, device type, geo-location information, computer and connection information, mobile network information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, referral URL, ad data, and standard web log data and other information.

    • Functionality cookies. Also known as "preference cookies," these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your username and password are so you can automatically log in. These cookies may be set by us or third-party providers whose services we have added to the XTRM Services. Disabling these cookies may result in some aspects of the XTRM Services not displaying of functioning properly.

    • Analytics cookies. Also known as "performance cookies," these cookies collect information about how you use our Sites, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions.

Disabling these cookies will not allow us to recognize you when you visit our Sites.

    • Advertising cookies. These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad.

  • Log Files and Device Identifiers. We use log files to track actions occurring on our Sites and collect data about visitors, including IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and device identifiers.

  • Web beacons and other technologies. Our applications may use other tracking tools, including web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), which are small electronic images embedded in content and email messages that are not ordinarily visible to users. Web beacons allow us to track pages and content accessed and viewed by users, as well as to monitor email readership. Pixels, tags, and gifs collect event data and other information about your interaction with our Sites.

We use these technologies to help ensure that your account security is not compromised; mitigate risk and prevent fraud; and to promote trust and safety across our sites and XTRM Services and Sites.

However, declining our automated technologies may interfere with your use of our Sites and XTRM Services.

The information collected through these technologies may be combined with personal information or aggregated with other information on Site visits.

You can also visit https://optout.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertisements.

  • Declining to Provide Information. You can choose not to provide us with information we may request through our Sites or the XTRM Services, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Sites, request information about our services, or initiate other transactions with us.

  • Do Not Track Mechanisms. Please note that our Site does not honor "Do Not Track" signals, and such signals will not impact the operation of the Sites or XTRM Services.

  • Jurisdiction-specific choices. Choices relating to the rights afforded consumers under the laws of their jurisdiction of residence are in the “Rights Afforded to Certain Individuals” section below.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to any request described above. If we no longer need to process personal information about you in order to provide our XTRM Services or our Sites, we may not maintain, acquire or process additional information in order to identify you for the purpose of responding to your request.

If you are a Customer of a User, please direct your requests directly to the User. For example, if you are making, or have made, a purchase from a merchant using XTRM as a services provider, and you have a request that is related to the payment information that you provided as part of the purchase transaction, then you should address your request directly to the merchant.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Sites may contain links to third-party websites. Such websites have separate privacy policies that you should review. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for the content of linked websites or those companies’ data-handling practices.

Biometric Information

XTRM, through third-party service providers, may use technology to collect biometric identifiers or information for the purposes of verifying your identity and preventing and protecting against fraud. In particular, the technology used by XTRM’s service providers analyzes your driver’s license, state, or passport ID, including the photo on your ID, to verify its authenticity and your identity. Such information is retained for only so long as is necessary to fulfill the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such information, and in any event, for no more than 3 years from the date of your last interaction with XTRM. Once such period has expired, the information is permanently deleted or destroyed in accordance with XTRM’s retention and security policies. 

You may be provided further notice regarding the collection or storage of biometric identifiers or biometric information and be asked to provide your written release. We recommend you review such notices carefully, as well as any service provider privacy notices made available to you at the time of such notice.

1. Right to Request Information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information during the past 12 months. Specifically, you may request that we disclose:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you;

  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;

  • The business and commercial purposes for collecting your personal information;

  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information;

  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and

  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the categories of personal information received by each category of third party.

2. Right to Data Portability. You have the right to request that we provide copies of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you. If a verifiable consumer request is made, and subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA, we will take steps to deliver the personal information to you either by mail or electronically. If we provide the information to you electronically, it will be in a portable and readily useable format, to the extent technically feasible. Consistent with the CCPA and our interest in the security of your personal information, we will not provide copies of sensitive personal information we may receive from you (e.g., driver’s license number, other government-issued identification number, financial account number, health or medical identification number, account password, or security questions or answers) in response to a CCPA request, to the extent any of those items are in our possession.

3. Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA.

4. Right to Correct Inaccurate Information. If we maintain inaccurate personal information about you, you have the right to request that we correct that inaccurate personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information.

5. Right to Opt-Out.  Consumers in California have the right to opt-out of (1) the sharing of their personal information for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising (as defined in the CCPA), or (2) the sale of personal information.  Because XTRM does not “sell” or “share” personal information, these rights are not available.

E. Exercising Your Rights

As indicated above, the CCPA provides certain limitations and exceptions to the foregoing rights, which may result in us denying or limiting our response to your request.

To exercise the rights described above, you—or someone authorized to act on your behalf—must submit a verifiable consumer request to us by sending an e-mail to: dataprotection@xtrm.com with the subject line: "CCPA Request" or calling us at (866) 367.9289. Your request must include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, the nature of your inquiry and the context in which we may have received your information. If you are an agent submitting a request on behalf of a consumer, we may request that you submit a signed permission from the consumer authorizing you to make the request. In order to protect the privacy and data security of consumers, the verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of such consumer; and

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We may also request that you provide additional information if needed to verify your identity or authority to make the request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you or the consumer on whose behalf you are making the request.

The CCPA requires businesses to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt; however, we may extend that period by an additional 45 days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response via e- mail. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request, unless otherwise required or permitted by the CCPA. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select the format of our response; the format will be readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another. We will not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing the request.

F. Our Commitment Not to Discriminate

Consistent with the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights by: (1) Discriminate or retaliate against an employee, job applicant, or contractor for exercising their rights under the CCPA; (2) Denying you goods or services; (3) Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (4) Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; or (5) Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

G. Data Sharing or Direct Marketing Purposes

California Civil Code § 1798.83 further permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your personal information with certain of our affiliates and other third parties for their marketing purposes. Please tell us your preference by contacting us at dataprotection@xtrm.com.

Rights Under the GDPR (EU / UK Residents)

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom’s and Switzerland’s versions of the same (collectively, the "GDPR") afford certain rights to individuals in the European Economic Area (together with the UK and Switzerland, the "EEA"). If you are in the EEA, you have the following rights. Note, however, that not all rights apply in all circumstances.

  • Right of access: subject to certain exceptions, you have the right of access to your personal information that we hold. If you are requesting access to your data in order to protect the rights of others, we may require you to validate your identity before we can release that information to you

  • Right to rectify your personal information: if you discover that the information, we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have this information rectified (i.e., corrected).

  • Right to be forgotten: you may ask us to delete information we hold about you in certain circumstances. This right is not absolute and it may not be possible for us to delete the information we hold about you, for example, if we have an ongoing contractual relationship or are required to retain information to comply with our legal obligations.

  • Right to restriction of processing: in some cases, you may have the right to have the processing of your personal information restricted. For example, where you contest the accuracy of your personal information, its use may be restricted until the accuracy is verified.

  • Right to object to processing: you may object to the processing of your personal information (including profiling) when it is based upon our legitimate interests. You may also object to the processing of your personal information for the purposes of direct marketing and for the purposes of statistical analysis.

  • Right to data portability: you have the right to receive, move, copy, or transfer your personal information to another controller when we are processing your personal information based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

With regard to the personal information we collect from Users or Visitors, we are typically the "data controller" for such information under the GDPR. As a result, if you wish to exercise one of the rights discussed above, you may do so by submitting a written request to dataprotection@xtrm.com. This is normally free, unless this process is unduly difficult or is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to respond. Once we have received your request, we will review it and contact you within thirty (30) days of receipt of your request, will notify you of any delay in processing your request and, in any event, will respond to the request within three (3) months. Please note that we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. If you are located in the EEA or UK and have a concern about our processing of your data, you may have the right to make a complaint to the appropriate data protection authority in the EEA or UK.

A. Lawful Basis under GDPR

We will process different types of information under different lawful bases under the GDPR depending on the nature of the information and your relationship with us. The following table describes how we plan to use your personal information and our lawful basis for doing so.

B. Transfers from the EEA, Switzerland, or UK

If we transfer personal information from the EEA, Switzerland, or UK to the United States or any other country, we will implement appropriate legal mechanisms to ensure an adequate level of personal data protection consistent with the GDPR’s requirements. For example, if the recipient country has not received an Adequacy Decision from the European Commission (such as the United States), we will rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) that have been approved by the European Commission as the lawful mechanisms for such transfers. Further, we will enter into appropriate data processing agreements with all non-EU (sub)processors that contain SCCs and define data protection standards to be employed by each (sub)processor.

Nevada Privacy Rights

Under Nevada law, Nevada residents who have purchased services from us may opt out of the "sale" of "covered information" (as such terms are defined under Nevada law) for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. "Covered information" includes first and last name, address, email address, and phone number, or an identifier that allows a specific person to be contacted either physically or online. We do not engage in any activities that would qualify as a sale under Nevada law.

Residents of Other U.S. States

This section supplements the other information in this Notice and provides additional details for U.S. consumers, as defined by the laws of the consumer’s state of residence (if applicable) (e.g., the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), Connecticut Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring (“CTDPA”), and Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”), the Delaware Persona Data Privacy Act, the Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, the Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, the Nebraska Data Privacy Act, the New Hampshire Privacy Act, the New Jersey Privacy Act, the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act).  

The categories of personal data of consumers processed by XTRM and the purposes for such processing; the categories of personal data that are disclosed with third parties and the categories of third parties with whom XTRM discloses personal data; and information about whether XTRM sells personal data or processes personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising are described in the “California Privacy Rights ” section above.

Consumers have the right under the above-mentioned laws (subject to applicable limitations or exceptions) to:

  • Confirm whether or not XTRM is processing the consumer’s personal data and to access such data;

  • Correct inaccuracies in the consumer’s personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes of the processing of the consumer’s personal data;

  • Delete personal data provided by or obtained about the consumer; and

  • Obtain a copy of the consumer’s personal data that the consumer previously provided to XTRM in a portable, and to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows the consumer to transmit the data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated means.

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that has a privacy law that affords you with certain rights, you may exercise these rights by contacting XTRM at dataprotection@xtrm.com with the subject line: "Privacy Request" or calling us at (866) 367.9289. We will verify your request using commercially reasonable efforts: this may include requiring you to provide at least 4 pieces of information which may include your name, mailing address, email address and phone number.  XTRM will use this information to search our systems and determine if we have information about you.  If we are able to locate information about you, we will fulfill your request, to the extent no exception or limitation under the above-mentioned laws applies.   If we are not able to authenticate your request, we may only be able to provide you with a report that includes the categories of Personal Information we collect, use, or disclose.

XTRM will respond to the request within 45 days of receipt of the request; however, we may extend the period for response by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, in which case we will inform you of the extension together with the reason. If XTRM declines to take an action regarding your request, we will inform you of such, including the justification for declining to take action and instructions on how to appeal the decision (if applicable).

Information provided in response to a request shall be provided free of charge, up to twice annually per consumer. If requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, XTRM may charge the consumer a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of complying with the request or decline to act on the request.

In the event XTRM declines to take action regarding your request, you may appeal the decision, if permitted by applicable law, by contacting XTRM at dataprotection@xtrm.com. Within 60 days of receipt of an appeal, we will inform you of any action or inaction taken in response to such appeal. If the appeal is denied, you may contact your state’s Attorney General to submit a complaint. Residents of Connecticut can submit a complaint at: https://www.dir.ct.gov/ag/complaint/

Canada Privacy Rights

Certain Canadian laws, including Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ((S.C. 2000, c. 5) ("PIPEDA"), provide certain rights to Canadian residents including the right to request information from an organization about the existence, use or disclosure of such resident’s personal information, to request access to that information, and to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate. If you are a Canadian resident and would like to make a request regarding your information that under our control, please contact us at the "Contact Us" information below. We will attempt to respond to your request within a reasonable time. Such response will be at minimal or no cost to you.

Children’s Privacy

Our Sites are general audience sites and are not directed at, or intended for use by, children under the age of 16 years. Accordingly, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 16. Should we discover that a child under the appropriate age provided his or her personal information, we will use that information only to respond to that child and inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving such information.

Data Storage and Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or other mandatory reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. We also consider any specific limitation periods under applicable law.
