1. Introduction and Scope

XILA ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our marketplace platform, including our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By using the Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described in this policy, please do not use the Platform.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless and personalized experience, we collect various types of information, which can be broadly categorized as information you provide to us directly and information we collect automatically.

2.1 Account Information

When you register for a XILA account, we collect essential contact and identity details. This includes your email address, phone number, full legal name, date of birth, and optional demographic data such as gender and geographic location. For business accounts, we also collect formal business registration details and tax identification numbers necessary for compliance and verification.

2.2 Profile Data

To help you connect with others in the marketplace, you may choose to provide additional profile information. This includes personal biographies, cover photos, external website links, social media handles, professional business descriptions, employment history, verified certifications, and specific interests or preferences.

2.3 Chat & Messaging Data

We facilitate communication between users for product inquiries, service bookings, and job applications. We collect message content (text, files, images, videos) and associated metadata (timestamps, sender/receiver IDs, read receipts). Conversations linked to specific marketplace entities (e.g., a product listing) are also tracked.

2.4 Call Data

For users utilizing our integrated voice and video calling features, we collect call metadata, including call duration, participant identities, timestamps, and network quality metrics. We strictly do not record audio or video content unless explicitly authorized by all participants or required by a valid legal process.

2.5 Payment Information

We collect transaction history, billing addresses, and records of credit purchases. Financial transactions are securely processed by our payment partner, Stripe. XILA does not directly store your full credit card numbers or raw bank account details on our servers.

2.6 Usage & Analytics Data

As you navigate the platform, we automatically log technical data. This includes your device specifications, IP address, operating system, browser type, pages visited, specific features utilized, search queries, application crash reports, and the referral sources that led you to our platform.

2.7 Media Uploads

When you upload content, we collect the files themselves (images, videos, PDF documents) along with inherent file metadata, such as file names, sizes, formats, and the exact timestamps of upload.

2.8 Marketplace Activity

We maintain a comprehensive record of your interactions within the marketplace ecosystem. This encompasses product listings created, service appointments booked, job applications submitted, rental reservations made, lead unlocks, detailed transaction records, and the ratings and reviews you publish or receive.

2.9 Connected Calendar and Meeting Providers

If you choose to connect a calendar or meeting provider to Xila Calendar, we process provider account and calendar-related data that is necessary to deliver the features you enable. Connections are user-initiated, require you to be an authenticated Xila user, and request only the permissions needed for the features you select.

Google Workspace / Google Calendar. When you connect Google Calendar, we may process: your Google account identifiers (such as email and profile name returned by Google); OAuth tokens used to access Google Calendar on your behalf; calendar list and calendar identifiers; event details you sync or create (such as titles, descriptions, times, time zones, locations, attendees, and recurrence); and free/busy or availability information needed for scheduling.

We do not use Google Calendar connect to access your Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts, Google Photos, Google Docs, or other Google products beyond the Google Calendar / Workspace Calendar APIs required for the calendar features you enable.

Zoom. When you connect Zoom, we may process Zoom user identifiers, OAuth tokens, and meeting identifiers and join links created for your Xila calendar events or bookings.

Outlook / Microsoft Graph. When you connect Outlook, we may process Microsoft account identifiers, OAuth tokens, calendar and event data synced via Microsoft Graph, and Microsoft Teams meeting join links created for your events.

5. Google Workspace API Limited Use

Xila's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

This section applies to Google Workspace APIs that Xila uses (currently Google Calendar). We process Google user data only to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in the requesting application's user interface.

  • We do not use Google Workspace data (raw or derived) to train, improve, or fine-tune generalized AI or machine learning models.

  • We do not sell or rent Google user data, and we do not use Google user data for advertising, including personalized or interest-based advertising.

  • We do not use Google Calendar connect to access Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Photos, Docs, or other Google products beyond the Calendar / Workspace Calendar APIs required for the features you enable.

6. Connected Calendar & Meeting Providers

The following summarizes how Xila processes data for each connected calendar or meeting provider. Setup and removal steps are described in the linked operational guides—not in this Privacy Policy.

6.1 Google Workspace / Google Calendar

  • Purpose: Sync calendars and events between Xila Calendar and Google Calendar.

  • Data processed: Google account identifiers; calendar and event data; free/busy information as needed for scheduling.

  • Permissions (high level): Identify your Google account; read and write calendars and events you authorize for sync.

  • Tokens: OAuth tokens are stored encrypted (see Data Security).

  • Disconnect: You can disconnect Google Calendar in Xila Calendar Settings. You may also revoke access in your Google Account permissions. After disconnect, stored OAuth tokens are deleted or made unusable.

  • Commitments: Google Workspace API Limited Use applies (see Section 5). Google Calendar data is not used for advertising or to train generalized AI models.

6.2 Zoom

  • Purpose: Create Zoom meetings and join links for Xila calendar events and bookings on your Zoom account.

  • Data processed: Zoom user identifiers; OAuth tokens; meeting identifiers and join URLs created for your events.

  • Permissions (high level): Identify your Zoom account; create and delete online meetings as needed for linked Xila events.

  • Tokens: OAuth tokens are stored encrypted (see Data Security).

  • Disconnect: You can disconnect Zoom in Xila Calendar Settings and/or remove the app in the Zoom Marketplace. After disconnect, stored OAuth tokens are deleted or made unusable.

  • See /docs/zoom-integration for setup and removal instructions. Zoom data is not used for advertising or to train generalized AI models.

6.3 Outlook / Microsoft Graph

  • Purpose: Sync calendars and events with Outlook via Microsoft Graph and create Microsoft Teams meeting links when you choose that option.

  • Data processed: Microsoft account identifiers; OAuth tokens; calendar and event data; Teams meeting join links created for your events.

  • Permissions (high level): Identify your Microsoft account; read and write calendars; create online meetings.

  • Tokens: OAuth tokens are stored encrypted (see Data Security).

  • Disconnect: You can disconnect Outlook in Xila Calendar Settings and/or revoke Xila's access in your Microsoft account. After disconnect, stored OAuth tokens are deleted or made unusable.

  • See /docs/outlook-integration for setup and removal instructions. Outlook / Graph data is not used for advertising or to train generalized AI models.

6.4 Provider Comparison

ProviderPurposeOAuthUsed for model trainingAdvertising
Google Calendar (Workspace APIs)Calendar syncYesNoNo
ZoomMeeting creationYesNoNo
Outlook (Microsoft Graph)Calendar sync + Teams linksYesNoNo

6.5 Changes to Integrations

We may add additional calendar or meeting providers in the future. Any new integrations will be described in this Privacy Policy before they are made available.

7. Artificial Intelligence

Xila uses third-party AI providers to generate responses and assistive content when you use Xila AI features. We distinguish inference (running a model to produce an output for your request) from training (using your data to improve a model). Xila does not use connected calendar or meeting provider data (Google, Zoom, or Outlook) to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

When you ask Xila AI to help schedule or draft something, we send the prompt and related instructions you provide (for example: "Suggest three 30-minute meeting times next week labeled Team Sync")—not a bulk dump of your connected provider calendars—to the AI provider for inference. If you then choose to create an event, Xila writes to the connected provider through that provider's API after generation, under your authorization.

ProviderPrimary purposeConnected provider data usedModel training
OpenAIAssistive generation and related Xila AI tasksNoNo
AnthropicAssistive generation and related Xila AI tasksNoNo
PerplexitySearch-augmented answers and related Xila AI tasksNoNo

"Connected provider data" means Google Calendar, Zoom, and Outlook / Microsoft Graph data obtained through those integrations. AI providers may process the prompts and context you submit for inference under their own terms; Xila does not authorize use of connected provider data for their model training.

8. Data Storage and Retention

8.1 Data Storage Location
