Privacy Policy
Effective as of September 8, 2024.
Xpander, Inc., including our subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “xpander”, “we”, “our” or “us”), develops and operates an Agentic Interface, an innovative API-like solution (the “Platform”) designed to help companies and individuals (our “Customers”) facilitate seamless communication between AI tools and diverse systems and software programs.
Our solution provides a wide range of configurations, supported by two main services: 1. Managed Runtime Solutions, where xpander controls and operates the runtime environment on behalf of the Customer. 2. Unmanaged Runtime Solutions, where the Customer controls and operates the runtime environment.
Please note: This Privacy Policy does not apply to Unmanaged Runtime Solutions when two conditions are simultaneously met: an AI Service Provider other than xpander is used, and private connectors are being utilized. In such cases the Customer is the Controller for all processing activities.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and disclose personal data of:
Users who are registered to xpander’s Platform.
Representatives who interact with us as the business contacts of our Customers.
Prospects who visit our website at https://www.xpander.ai (the “Website”), interact with our online ads and content, surveys, emails or other communications under our control or (collectively with the Platform, the “Services”) or any other representative of a prospective customer (collectively – “you” or “your”).
Privacy is important to us, and we are strongly committed to transparency and fairness in our data processing activities. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and make sure that you fully understand and agree to our practices.
You are not legally required to provide us with any personal data, and may do so (or avoid doing so) at your own free will.
If you do not wish to provide us with your personal data, or to have it processed by us, please avoid any interaction with us or with our Services, or submit a request to exercise your rights as further explained in Section 9 below but please keep in mind that limiting our processing may also result in us not being able to provide you the ability to use our Services, or with the best user experience when using our Services.
Specifically, this Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding -

We and our authorized Service Providers (defined below) maintain, store and process personal data in Israel, the European Union, USA, and other locations as reasonably necessary for the proper performance and delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law.
xpander is headquartered in Israel, a jurisdiction which is considered by the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, to be offering an adequate level of protection for personal data of individuals residing in EU Member States, the UK and Switzerland, respectively. We transfer data from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland to Israel on this basis.
While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, xpander and its affiliates and Service Providers are each committed to protect personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction from which such data originated. For data transfers from the EU, the UK, or Switzerland to countries that are not considered to be offering an adequate level of data protection by the relevant data protection authority, we and the relevant data exporters and importers enter into Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCC”), you can obtain a copy by contacting us as indicated in Section 11 below.

9. Data Subject Rights
Under certain laws, including the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the CCPA and the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, individuals have rights regarding their personal data. These rights include – each to the extent applicable to you – the right to request information about or request access to your personal data, or to request its correction, portability or erasure. You may also have the right to restrict or object to the processing of your personal data. Under some regulatory frameworks you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable privacy 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 your request. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in such circumstances. To the extent applicable to you, you may also designate an authorized agent, in writing or through a power of attorney, to request to exercise your privacy rights on your behalf. The authorized agent may submit a request to exercise these rights by emailing us.
Please note that when you or an authorized agent ask us to exercise any of your rights under this policy or applicable law, we may need to ask you to provide us with certain credentials to make sure that you are who you claim you are, to avoid disclosure to you of personal data related to others and to ask you to provide further information to better understand the nature and scope of data regarding which you request to exercise your rights. Such additional data may be then retained by us for legal, compliance and auditing purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request or proof of request fulfillment).
We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information that enables us to reasonably verify that you are the individual about whom we collected the personal data.
We may redact from the data that we will make available to the requesting data subject any personal data related to others.
Please also note that if you request deletion of your personal data, we may deny your request or may retain certain elements of your personal data if it is necessary for us or our Service Providers. We will provide details of our reasoning to you in our correspondence on the matter.
Each right may be executed to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you and is subject to various exclusions and exceptions under applicable laws.
Please contact us by e-mail at: privacy@xpander.ai if you wish to exercise your privacy rights.
10. Data Controller/Processor
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “data controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
xpander is the “data controller” of Users’, Prospects’ and Representatives’ personal data. With respect to such data, we assume the responsibilities of data controller (to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our service providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor”.
11. Requirements under US State Privacy Laws
This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal information we may collect and the sources of such information (in Section 1 above), and our retention (Section 4) and deletion (Section 9) practices. We also included information about how we may process your information (in Sections 1 through 8), which includes “business purposes” under the CCPA and similar state laws, as applicable. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information outside of the purposes allowed by applicable laws. We may disclose personal data to third parties or allow them to collect personal data from our Services as described in Sections 5 and 6 above, if those third parties are our authorized Service Providers who have agreed to our contractual limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of such personal data, or if you direct us to disclose your personal data to third parties, or as otherwise described in Section 5 above. You may also designate an authorized agent, in writing or through a power of attorney, to request to exercise your privacy rights on your behalf. The authorized agent may submit a request to exercise these rights by emailing us. We will not discriminate against you by withholding our Services from you or providing a lower quality of service to you for requesting to exercise your rights under the law.
If you have any questions or would like to exercise your rights under any applicable US State privacy laws, you can contact privacy@xpander.ai.
