Your information, and what we do with it.

Who we are

PXO Exchange is run by Zarir (Zed) Vakil and Mike Richardson. Until PXO Exchange Ltd is formed, the two of us are responsible for the personal information this site collects, which in data protection terms makes us the controller.

You can reach us about anything on this page at hello@pxo.global.

The short version

• We collect only what you choose to give us in a form on this site.
• We use it for the thing you asked for, and nothing else unless you say yes.
• We never sell it, rent it or swap it with anyone.
• This site sets no cookies and does not track you around the web.
• You can ask us to show you, correct or delete what we hold at any time.

What we collect, and why

The PXO Dispatch. The address you give us and the career stage you choose, if you choose one. We use them to send you The PXO Dispatch, monthly at most. We do this because you asked us to (consent). Every issue has a one-click way to leave.

The X Check report. Your name, your email address, your result and your answers to the seven questions. The scoring happens in your own browser. We use your name and email to send you the detailed report you asked for, with a short note about your result. One of us may also write to you once, personally. We do this because it is what you asked for and what a reasonable person would expect (legitimate interests). We only send you The PXO Dispatch if you tick the separate box to say yes.

The Manifesto. Your name, your email address and, if you choose, your stage. We use them to give you the Manifesto (legitimate interests). We only send you The PXO Dispatch if you tick the separate box.

Contact form. Your name, your email address and your message. We use them to reply to you, and that is all (legitimate interests). We only add you to The PXO Dispatch if you tick the separate box.

The Census. Nothing personal. You choose a label, and we count the labels. No email, no account, nothing stored against your name.

Visiting the site. We use Plausible Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies and collects no personal information. Every count is anonymous.

Who else handles it for us

A few trusted services process information on our behalf, under contracts that oblige them to protect it and use it only as we instruct:

• Netlify hosts the site and receives the forms when you submit them.
• MailerLite sends The PXO Dispatch and keeps the list of people who asked for it.
• Google Workspace runs our pxo.global email, so your messages to us are stored there.
• Plausible Analytics counts visits, without any personal information.

Netlify and Google may store information in the United States. Both rely on the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, known as the UK-US data bridge, which UK law recognises as giving adequate protection, with standard contractual clauses as a fallback. MailerLite and Plausible keep information in the European Union, which UK law also recognises as adequate.

How long we keep it

• Dispatch subscribers: until you unsubscribe, then we delete it.
• X Check, Manifesto and Contact submissions: for up to 2 years, then we delete them.
• Anything: sooner, whenever you ask.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, limit how we use it, or give it to you in a format you can take elsewhere.

You can object to how we use it, and where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Write to hello@pxo.global. We will answer within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk, or 0303 123 1113.

Changes

If we change how we use your information, we will update this page and the date below.
