Privacy Policy - Summary

Last Updated: May 20, 2021

Our Privacy Statement aims to be transparent about the methods used by www.qrcode-creator.org (henceforth referred to as "we", "our", or "us") to collect information about this website, its elements, subdomains, and services. The term "Our Services" encompasses all of the features, goods, information, and services that are available through our website. This policy's headings are arranged logically to make navigation easier rather than with the intention of being interpretive. The purpose of the tool is to make it easier for users to understand and navigate the privacy policy.

Without outside interference, the organisation is free to alter its privacy statement whenever it pleases. Any modifications to this policy will be promptly posted on our website, always with the most recent update date at the bottom. By using or interacting with the website, including any additional downloads or access made after the changes, you acknowledge and consent to the updated privacy statement. Significant changes will be promptly communicated to the public through the proper channels, such as a notice on the website, and at least seven (7) days before the changes go into effect. The changes won't go into effect for seven (7) days following the announcement.

1.Terms of Use.

An essential element of the Terms of Service is referred to as the Privacy Policy. It is essential to comprehend the meanings of any terms used in the Privacy Policy that are not explicitly defined, and such usage should guide one's understanding.

2.Our Legal Bases of Processing.

Data protection laws are followed in the administration and use of private data. Handling personal data in compliance with one or more of the following legal principles is customary:

2.1. Performance of a Contract. You explicitly agree that we may provide you with Our Services in compliance with Our Specified Terms of Service by using Our Services. To perform this action, it might be necessary to process some Personal Information, like the user's IP address.

2.2. Legitimate Interests. Utilising Personal Information acquired through our services for legitimate business purposes includes, but is not limited to, enhancing user experiences, conducting analytics, stopping fraudulent activity, and making sure security protocols are followed.

2.3. Legal Obligations. In certain situations, obtaining personal data may be required to carry out legal or regulatory obligations, such as answering consumer complaints or giving information to regulatory bodies..

2.4. Consent. Under certain conditions, the person may need to provide their express consent before their personal information is processed and used for additional services. Taking part in these kinds of activities could include making a user profile, signing up for newsletters, writing product reviews, or receiving customised offers. If your consent is required for this processing to be lawful, you have the option to withdraw it by clicking on the given link. We will get in touch with you once we have verified your request..

3.Information We Process.

We obtain information regarding user engagements and utilization of Our Services through an assortment of methodologies.

3.1. Information You Provide to Us. You may be required to provide certain personal data in order to access some of the features and services that Our Services offer. Creating a user profile, providing product or service reviews, signing up for newsletters, and receiving promotional materials are a few examples of this group of activities. We will make every effort to get your permission before disclosing any personal information. Furthermore, upon acceptance of our privacy statement, we may collect certain Personal Information, as detailed in the ensuing section.

Any information that could be used to identify a specific person, either on its own or in conjunction with other information, is referred to as "Personal Information" in this Privacy Statement. This can include a variety of data to ascertain an individual's identity, such as their complete name, contact details (phone, email, residential address, etc.), and other details. A multitude of factors, such as the jurisdiction in which an IP address is located and the intended use of the data, can influence whether or not the data is classified as personal information. The IP address that the user's Internet service provider assigned to the device allows for the previously mentioned conclusion to be reached. Should personally identifiable information be found—which is extremely unlikely—it will be properly controlled and safeguarded. However, the recommended method does not allow for user identification.

3.1.1. Third-Party Forms and Services: One of the many services that our organisation provides is the assessment and recommendation of various companies, brands, and affiliations that we refer to as "Partners." We also evaluate the associated products that these Affiliates offer; these are referred to as "Products." Our partners might occasionally provide you access to other opportunities, services, or data. Users may be presented with the aforementioned options in exchange for their voluntary and informed completion of an electronic form. Your participation with the appropriate Partner ("Lead") will be processed more quickly thanks to the information you provide on this form.

Please select the appropriate Partner icon or tab to learn more about a Partner or Product, or to start a transaction with a Partner. You will see a landing page after completing this action. The Partner is the entity entrusted with the ownership and administration of this website. It's also important to keep in mind that there are a variety of internet portals available for accessing the website. The Landing Page may request specific data from visitors, like name, phone number, and email address (collectively, "Landing Page Info").

It is crucial to understand that the Partner in charge of the landing page must gather user data as soon as possible. Consequently, the information provided will be subject to the Partner's data collection policies and privacy statement. To fully comprehend how your Personal Information is gathered and used, you should become acquainted with the privacy policies of the pertinent organisations.

3.1.2. Contact Us. The business maintains the right to request the release of particular Personal Information, like an email address and user name, from a user who contacts us via one of our many contact channels (web forms, emails, feedback forms, or reporting features on our services). In accordance with the guidelines outlined in sections 4 and 5 of the Privacy Policy, all information provided by the user—including the specifics of their inquiry—will be used to fulfil their request and achieve our justifiable business objectives.

3.1.3. Blogs, Newsletters, Surveys, and Promotions. We provide a variety of services, including assessments, a blog forum, and articles about Partners, Services, Products, and related business verticals. In addition, surveys, ad campaigns, and newsletter subscriptions may be requested of participants. The service provider has two options for handling these tasks: it can do them internally or hire an outside vendor. In exchange for engaging in specific activities, people may be asked for Personal Information, such as their name and email address (like signing up for a newsletter, posting comments on a blog forum, or responding to a survey). The aforementioned data will be transferred to a third party that is bound by the privacy policies of both our company and the third party. We promise that the information you provide will only be utilised for those reasons.

3.1.4. User Profile and User Reviews. Customers can request the creation of a user profile for our services or an evaluation of our partners. By doing this, we will get more information about you, which will help us give you a more special and tailored experience.

3.2. Information We Collect from You. The information we collect from you. Different approaches are used to collect information about how Our Services are used and interacted with.

3.2.1. Device Information: It is easier to provide services and enhances cross-device compatibility in terms of language, location, and time zones by obtaining device-specific information. The parameters that need to be gathered in order to satisfy the requirements are device type, operating system and version, language and version, user agent information (including browser type, version, and screen resolution), and language and version.

3.2.2. Interactions and Usage: We use the data we collect about user interactions with our services to optimise and enhance their functionality. We also give our partners and affiliates access to the information. Users' access to the system from both internal and external sources can be recorded by using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). In addition, every action and view a user takes on the Services is monitored. We record the exact day and time that users visit websites as well as the sequence in which they interact and navigate other websites.

3.2.3. Log Files: To assess user interactions with our services, track user activity, and keep an eye on trends, we gather data from server log files and employ tracking technologies, like pixel tags, on our platforms. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are assigned to clients' devices by their Internet service providers (ISPs), are included in the data delivered. IP addresses are gathered for a limited time and used for specific purposes. The first use of the information is to determine the user's location, including their preferred language and country. This makes it possible for us to provide our services to users in a language that suits their location and is similar to their local dialect. Subsequently, automated processes examine the IP addresses for signs of unethical behaviour.

3.2.4. Cookies and Similar Technologies. Technologies like "cookies," "web beacons," and "pixel tags" may be used by our services to track users' online activities in an anonymous manner. These technologies may be used by us or by other service providers. A "cookie" is a little digital file that a website sends to a user's computer. Cookies allow a website to recognise and identify the specific browser a returning user is using. The website is able to retain user preferences and pertinent information about their interactions with our services because of this feature. Customers have the option to fully accept cookies or to receive alerts whenever a new cookie is added to their browser. While this is a possibility, it's also possible that certain features or services on the website will be disabled, limiting your access to them.

An embedded system known as a "pixel tag" is used by websites to monitor and record user activity, which can include activities like opening and browsing emails when appropriate. When everything is taken into account, biscuits combine to produce the best results.

Please read our Cookie Policy to gain a complete understanding of the various kinds of cookies used and how tracking technologies and cookies are used on our services.

3.3. Information we receive from Third Parties. To maximise operational efficiency, our services cooperate with external parties such as affiliates, partners, and other organisations. Two of the many sources from which data can be collected are an internal user identity generator and an analysis of user actions, like clicks, purchases, views, form submissions, and phone calls.

The click-to-call feature enables users to promptly access specific services provided by our platform. With the help of outside service providers, call routing, monitoring, and reporting may be easier to implement in such situations. This suggests that, for a limited time, we might obtain the contact phone number but not any other personal information. To increase the effectiveness of our connections with associates and referrals is the primary objective of this data. Except in cases where you grant permission, the use of your data for purposes other than those for which it is currently intended is restricted.

4. Consent, Choice, and Modifications.

Users do not need to provide any Personal Information in order to use our services. It is entirely voluntary to take part in this exercise. By selecting to use our services, you consent to the terms mentioned in the privacy statement and any other practices pertaining to the handling of your information. We kindly ask that people who hold opposing views refrain from using our services.

Even though certain access methods may require the disclosure of personal information, the user ultimately has the final say over whether or not to use these services. If someone has previously disclosed personal information, they are free to withdraw their consent at any time. For more details on how to opt out and withdraw consent, please see the previously mentioned section 8.

5.Purposes for the collection of information.

The primary goal of collecting Personal Information, also referred to as "Your Information," is to facilitate the provision of our services and enhance them in general. The information that is provided is put to use for many different things, like enhancing user engagement with our services, enhancing the overall calibre of those services, monitoring recommendations and advertisements, verifying user identities, preventing fraud, responding to user inquiries and other correspondence, and authenticating users' access to and use of our services.

6.Sharing Your Information with Third Parties.

Personal information is not disclosed to external entities unless one of the subsequent circumstances arises:

6.1. Data Storage and Security Platforms (“Data Platforms): Often called "Data Platforms," third-party cloud and storage services facilitate the management and archiving of user data. This implies that the user's data is shared for data storage or other processing needs with multinational corporations, including those having their headquarters in the US. The privacy policies of Amazon Web Services are available at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy, the company's official website. By putting stringent privacy protections and data security requirements on the Data Platforms that we use for our daily business, we ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. Realising that their privacy laws alone govern their policies and procedures is crucial.

.

6.2. Social Media Platforms. Your submitted non-personal information may be collected and used by social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn for marketing and operational needs. With the user's explicit consent, these platforms have the ability to independently gather personal data and potentially combine it with the information we provide. The privacy policies of the relevant social media platforms are the basis for which personal information is exposed, and we have no knowledge of, control over, or ability to influence them. The legal right of Californian citizens to object to participation in data exchanges is explained in Section 9 of our Privacy Notice.

6.3. Other Third Parties. The information you enter could be accessible to third-party organisations that assist our business operations, like customer service agents and companies that offer email or phone administration services. These businesses assist us in analysing user behaviour and enhancing our offerings. It is required of service providers to make their privacy policies available to their customers and to ensure that customers are always aware of them when using the services. It is advisable to carefully read the instructions provided by other businesses before making any transactions. The global geographic distribution of these companies may vary based on the location of their server infrastructure.

6.4. Enforcement. If sharing personal data with other organisations is thought to be beneficial or necessary, then it may be done. There are several reasons to carry out these actions, such as adhering to relevant laws, rules, court decisions, or official directives. We reserve the right to take further action to look into possible violations of our terms of service, identify and address fraud or security issues, and safeguard the resources, interests, or security of www.qrcode-creator.org, our affiliated organisations, you, and the public.

6.5. Partners and Products. Those who would like more information about a particular service can use our online form. By filling out the provided form, users can choose to give their personal information to a partner or product that meets their particular needs. After that, the friend will be able to talk to you and give you the information you need. It is important to keep in mind that the information you submit on the online form may determine how our partners choose to get in touch with you. We do not have jurisdiction over our partners' communication practices because their privacy policies might differ from ours. It is crucial to remember that our partners might be spread out across different parts of the world.

6.6. Merger, Sale or Bankruptcy. In the unlikely event that www.qrcode-creator.org or its affiliated businesses engage in a merger, acquisition, or divestment of all or a portion of their assets, personal information and any other data collected or received by these organisations may be transferred or assigned. Under such conditions, the data collection organisation is legally obligated to protect people's rights in compliance with national laws and to ensure that their data processing practices are transparent.

Only specific circumstances and in relation to specific types of organisations may non-personal information be disclosed to third parties. It's feasible that outside businesses will offer us features and services in exchange for money. It is simpler for companies like Tableau and Google Analytics to gather data through user interactions or access when external features, services, or technology are integrated into our website. The content that appears on the pages as well as a range of interactive activities like clicking, scrolling, dragging the cursor, and typing are all tracked by us in order to compile the data that is displayed.

Each of these third-party technologies operates under its own set of privacy regulations and may utilize its own cookies to carry out its functions. Kindly consult our Cookie Policy for additional information pertaining to cookies. Visit the provided hyperlink for further information regarding Google's cookie usage. By following the link provided, you have the option to decline Google Analytics.

7.Links to and Interaction with Third-Party Properties.

This website may contain links to other webpages, electronic resources, or documents (collectively, "Third Party Properties") that are not directly under our control. Third-party assets include websites that have links to the relevant organisation. If the user decides to use the links provided and disclose their personal information on the approved Third-Party Properties, a third party will be able to access it. Be aware that agreements between these third parties and www.qrcode-creator.org and its affiliated entities may permit the transfer or receipt of data, including personally identifiable information. It is crucial to understand that Third-Party Properties and Products are not covered by the privacy policies or data collection practices of these third-party companies. It is strongly advised that users carefully read the terms and conditions and privacy statement of any Third-Party Property before using or interacting with it.

8.Choices and Opt-Out.

Users are free to exercise caution when deciding whether or not to provide us with personal information, as stated in our Privacy Statement. No matter where they live now, people still have the right to access and control their personal data. This phenomenon is applicable under the following conditions:

8.1. Tracking technologies and cookies. Users can use their web browser's configuration to limit or reject the use of cookies that are made by third-party services or websites. The current agreement's Section 2.1.1 goes into further detail on this topic.

8.2 It is advised that people carefully review their Personal Information, make any required corrections, or, in the event that it is no longer needed, formally request that it be deleted from our systems. For further information, please see the Section 2 that was previously mentioned.

9.Your Rights.

• If any of the information provided turns out to be erroneous, missing, or outdated, kindly send us the pertinent details so we can make the necessary corrections. Please contact us if you would like to withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data. It is crucial to understand that rescinding authorization has no retrospective effect on data processing that has already started with the individual's prior consent. For this reason, we formally ask that access be limited or that your personal data be removed. People have the right to request that third parties, as specified in this Privacy Statement, that handle their Personal Information adhere to the aforementioned procedures in fulfilment of any relevant legal obligations.
• Consumers can choose to lodge a formal complaint with the regulatory agency in charge of monitoring and enforcing data privacy regulations.
• Consumers have the option to file a formal complaint with the regulatory body in charge of overseeing and enforcing data privacy regulations.

9.2. Canada.  Canadian citizens have the option to request information regarding the disclosure of their personal data to third parties for direct marketing purposes by submitting an email to [email protected].

9.3. Privacy Notice for California Residents. California residents may be subject to particular circumstances in which personal data may be subject to California law. This additional section provides an element that may be pertinent to your particular situation in addition to our main privacy policy. Residents of California are granted particular protections for their personal data under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). As long as they meet the legal requirements, Californians are qualified for a number of benefits.

• Request for Information/Access: It is imperative that you guarantee you possess a comprehensive comprehension of every piece of information that has been gathered, employed, revealed, or acquired during the previous twelve (12) months. People should carefully read Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, which deal with data provided by users, data obtained by the service, and data sourced from third-party entities, respectively, to make sure they are exercising their right to access information. We will mail you a thorough report explaining all the personal information we have about you as soon as we receive your request and are able to authenticate your identity.
• A Request for Removal. People have the right to ask for their personal data to be deleted from our databases. That being said, not every situation can be addressed by this rule. Data maintenance might be necessary, for instance, because of security concerns, regulatory obligations, or troubleshooting requirements. Unless there are special circumstances, we will delete your personal information from our systems after your identity has been successfully verified.
• Request to Discontinue Personal Information Sales: At this time, our organisation does not sell personally identifiable information. However, bear in mind that, depending on the criteria established by the California Consumer Protection Act, some cookie applications might be eligible for this classification. Californians have an unrestricted right to stop the sale of their personal data to third parties. To fulfil this requirement, find the "Do not sell my personal information" link in the footer of the website and select the appropriate option. However, even in the event that an individual chooses to decline, they may still receive tailored advertisements that highlight the distinctive features of Our Services and aim to reach a wide audience.
• No Disparities: We don't currently deal with the sale of personally identifiable information for financial gain. However, some uses of cookies might be covered by this category, depending on how the California Consumer Protection Act is implemented. Californians are allowed to forbid the sharing of personal information with outside parties. Please visit our website and click the "Do not sell my personal information" hyperlink at the bottom to finish this process. Choose the best course of action after that. However, even if a person chooses not to engage, they might still see adverts that are customised for particular recipients based on the distinctive features of Our Services.
• Addressing Requests for Privacy: Our organization's main goal is to respond to all client inquiries in a thorough and rational manner within 45 days of the date of initial receipt. If someone needs more time—up to 45 days—to finish the task at hand, they should be properly notified in writing and given a new deadline. When it becomes necessary to keep personal information for troubleshooting, identifying security breaches, or adhering to legal requirements, or when the verification process is impractical.
• Our California Do Not Track Notice: Users can indicate their preference to not be tracked when using our platform or other websites by using the "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature on several web browsers. Our company's DNT signal feature isn't working right now. Other businesses, such as providers of analytics tools, may be permitted to obtain confidential information about a user's online activities across multiple platforms and services. The individual utilising our services will determine whether or not the results can be altered.

10.Information Security.

Our organisation places a high priority on data security, so we go above and beyond to protect the privacy and accuracy of data while it's being processed, transferred, and stored on our website and computer systems. The accuracy and privacy of the data processing and collection activities on the website are protected by SSL encryption and regular security audits. When third-party services that meet recognised information security standards and certifications are used, data storage and transfer are protected. Our company has put monitoring systems and access restrictions in place to efficiently manage and keep an eye on employee access to sensitive information.

Despite these precautions, it is important to acknowledge that total security against unauthorised access and other security risks is impossible due to the global network's pervasiveness. We are unable to guarantee complete security of our systems and services against intrusions because of these factors.

11. Children’s Privacy.

We do not specifically target individuals under the age of sixteen when offering our services. A policy that expressly forbids the organisation from gathering Personal Information from minors under the age of sixteen has been put into place. Personal information accidentally provided by someone under the age of sixteen will be deleted as soon as it is discovered. We kindly invite you to contact us at [email protected] for more information if you have any questions or concerns about our organization's possible possession of such information.

12. Non-US Users.

Personal information of an individual may be transferred to a foreign jurisdiction by virtue of their place of residence or country of origin. It's possible that some nations don't provide the same level of protection for the private information of their individual citizens as they do. For example, it's likely that the data you currently own will be moved to the United States. Contractual safeguards are used, in particular, to ensure sufficient data protection during the processing stage when data is transferred to outside contractors.

You knowingly agree to the ways in which your data is used in this Privacy Statement by using our services and giving us your Personal Information. Data transmission to other nations, particularly the US, is included in this.

13. Commitment.

Our service providers take great pride in their unwavering commitment to maintaining the most intricate privacy policies on the market and to regularly modifying their offerings to meet our clients' changing needs.

14. Contact Us.

The provided privacy statement is succinct and unambiguous. Contact us at [email protected] if you have any inquiries.
