The process:
An existing User invites one or more friends to use the Service.
The invited friend's email address - if not already a Xeropan user - will be added to a mailing list - unless previously blocked and on the MKT list defined below - This is called a working ENTRY LIST (LIST OF EXPRESSED LISTS) -
The system will automatically send the User a letter informing him/her that his/her friend wishes to invite him/her and requesting the Service Provider's permission to send him/her more information.
In this letter you will have two options:
A) You can send me a letter
B) You can't send me a letter
This letter will include a link to the GTC and the documents on data management.
If you select option A) You can send:
A1.) The Service Provider will re-subscribe you to the ENROLLED mailing list (ENG). The Service Provider will store the date of the subscription.
A2.) The EKL will be removed from the list by the Service Provider.
A3.) The Service Provider will send him/her the invitation letter and the reminders regarding the validity of the invitation.
A4.) Decision:
Become a user - You will then be transferred to the user database (USERS)
No user - In this case, the Service Provider will remove your email address from the ENG list 72 hours after the invitation expires.
If you select B) You could not send:
B1.) The Service Provider opens an unsubscribe page for the User after clicking on the button
B2.) The website runs a remarketing code that anonymously adds the user's device to a remarketing list to which the Service Provider does not send Google or Facebook ads
B3.) The invitee must choose between two options for sending invitations "Deny permission"
"You can't send me now"
"You may not send and please note this address so that you do not send again". The user then ticks that he/she agrees to the storage of the address and that he/she is aware of our data processing rules.
B3) 1 case - "You can't send now":
Your address will not be copied to the ENG mailing list.
The user will also be deleted from the EKL list immediately.
If anyone invites you again, the whole process starts all over again, so if you invite someone again, you will be put back on the EKL list, receive a permission letter and can choose from the options.
B3) In 2 cases - "You cannot send and make a note of this address so that you do not send again":
The User's address is stored by the Service Provider with his/her consent in a SUBSCRIBER'S NOTIFICATION TO SUBSCRIBERS (MKT) newsletter list.
Only the email address and the place, date and time of subscription to the list are stored by the Service Provider, and only so that your friends in the Xeropan base cannot invite you unnecessarily.
If anyone wants to call you later, you will not receive a letter.
Regardless, the User can still become a USER, but will remain on the Block list until they unsubscribe.
If the User does not choose either option A) or B), after 72 hours the Service Provider will remove the User from the EKL list, i.e. the same will happen to the User as in option B3.1.

When logged into the created study group (depending on the Classroom Account settings), this data or part of this data may be made available to other users of the Xeropan application assigned to the study group.
- 2.13.2. Connecting to a user account created in Xeropan Classroom is not automatic, it requires an explicit initiative from one party (e.g. an invitation from the language teacher using the Xeropan Classroom app) and an explicit approval from the other party (e.g. acceptance of said invitation), and data sharing with other members of the study group can be set up separately (in the Classrooom Account).
