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.

The management and implementation of personal information adhere to data protection regulations. It is customary to handle personal data in accordance with one or more of the following legal principles:

2.1. Performance of a Contract. By utilizing Our Services, you expressly indicate that you want us to provide you with them in accordance with Our Stipulated Terms of Service. Certain Personal Information, such as the user's IP address, may need to be processed in order to carry out this action.

2.4. Consent. Specific circumstances may necessitate the individual's explicit assent prior to the processing and utilization of their personal data for supplementary services. Engaging in such activities may comprise creating a user profile, subscribing to newsletters, composing product evaluations, or obtaining personalized offers.

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. In order to access certain features and services offered by Our Services, you might need to furnish certain personal data. This group of activities comprises, for example, making a user profile, offering product or service reviews, subscribing to newsletters, and receiving promotional materials. We will actively and assiduously obtain your consent before sharing any personal data. In addition, if you accept our privacy statement, we might gather some Personal Information, as explained in the section that follows.

In this Privacy Statement, "Personal Information" refers to any information that could be used, either by itself or in combination with other information, to identify a specific person. This can include a range of information to determine someone's identity, including their full name, phone number, email address, residential address, and other contact details. A number of factors can affect whether or not data is classified as personal information, including the jurisdiction in which an IP address is located and the data's intended use. The previously mentioned conclusion is made possible by the IP address that the user's Internet service provider assigned to the device. In the unlikely event that personally identifiable information is discovered, it will be carefully controlled and protected. However, user identification is not possible with the suggested approach.

3.1.1. Third-Party Forms and Services: Our company offers a range of services, one of which is the evaluation and endorsement of different businesses, brands, and associations that we call "Partners." Additionally, we assess the related goods that these Affiliates provide, which we refer to as "Products." There may be times when our partners provide you with access to different opportunities, services, or information. In exchange for their voluntary and informed completion of an electronic form, users may be offered the previously mentioned options. The information you supply on this form helps to expedite the processing of your engagement with the relevant Partner ("Lead").

To obtain more details about a Partner or Product, or to initiate a transaction with a Partner, please select the relevant Partner icon or tab. When you finish this action, a landing page will be displayed to you. The Person entrusted with the ownership and management of this website is known as the Partner. Furthermore, it is imperative to remember that there are numerous online portals through which one can access the website. Visitors may be asked for specific information by the Landing Page, such as their name, phone number, and email address (collectively, "Landing Page Info").

It is imperative to recognise that the Partner in charge of the landing page promptly collects user information. As a result, the Partner's privacy statement and data collection policies will apply to the information supplied. You should familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of the relevant organisations in order to have a thorough understanding of how your Personal Information is collected and used.

3.1.2. Contact Us. When a user contacts us through one of our many channels of communication (web forms, emails, feedback forms, or reporting features on our services), the company reserves the right to request the disclosure of specific Personal Information, such as an email address and user name. In compliance with the regulations delineated in sections 4 and 5 of the Privacy Policy, all data submitted by the user, including the particulars of their query, shall be utilised to satisfy their request and accomplish our legitimate business goals.

3.1.3. Blogs, Newsletters, Surveys, and Promotions. We offer a range of services, such as articles about the Services, Partners, Products, and associated business verticals, as well as a blog forum and assessments. In addition, participants might be asked to participate in surveys, advertising campaigns, and newsletter subscriptions. The service provider can either hire an outside service provider to handle these duties or handle them internally. People may be asked for Personal Information, like their name and email address, in return for taking part in certain activities (like signing up for a newsletter, posting comments on a blog forum, or responding to a survey). The previously stated data will be sent to a third party that will be subject to our organization's and the third party's privacy policies. We guarantee that the data you submit will only be used for the purposes for which it was intended.

3.1.4. User Profile and User Reviews. Users have the choice to ask for an assessment of our partners or the development of a user profile for our services. We will learn more about you by doing this, which will make it easier to provide a more unique and customised 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: Obtaining device-specific information makes it easier to provide services and improves cross-device compatibility in terms of language, location, and time zones. Device type, operating system and version, language and version, user agent information (including browser type, version, and screen resolution), and language and version are among the parameters that must be collected in order to meet the requirements.

3.2.2. Interactions and Usage: We gather information about how users interact with our services and use it to improve and maximise their functionality. We also share the information with our affiliates and partners. Through the use of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), users' access to the system from both internal and external sources can be documented. Furthermore, all user activity on the Services, including views and actions, is tracked. We gather information about the precise day and hour of website usage in addition to the temporal progression of user interactions and navigation on external websites.

3.2.3. Log Files: Data is collected from server log files and tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, are implemented on our platforms in order to evaluate user interactions with our services, monitor trends, and track user activity. The data delivered includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that are allocated to clients' devices by their Internet service providers (ISPs). IP addresses are collected for a restricted duration and employed for particular objectives. The initial purpose of the data is to ascertain the user's geographical coordinates, encompassing their preferred language and nation-state. This enables us to deliver our services to users in a language that is suitable for their geographical location and corresponds to their native dialect. After that, automated procedures scrutinize the IP addresses in search of indications of unethical conduct.

3.2.4. Cookies and Similar Technologies. Our services may make use of technologies like "cookies," "web beacons," and "pixel tags" to anonymously track users' online activity. We or other service providers may make use of these technologies. A "cookie" is a small digital file that a user's computer downloads from a website. A website can identify and recognise the particular browser that a returning user is using by using cookies. Thanks to this feature, the website can remember user preferences and relevant data about their interactions with our services. Users can choose to accept cookies in full or to get notifications each time a new cookie is added to their browser. While this might happen, it's also possible that the website's services or functionality will be disabled, which would restrict your access to particular features.

Websites use an embedded system called a "pixel tag" to track and log user activity, which can include, when applicable, actions like accessing and looking through emails. All things considered, the combination of biscuits yields the best outcomes.

To obtain a thorough understanding of the different types of cookies used and how tracking technologies and cookies are used on our services, please review our Cookie Policy.

3.3. Information we receive from Third Parties. Our services collaborate with outside parties, including affiliates, partners, and other organisations, to maximise operational efficiency. An internal user identity generator and an analysis of user actions, such as clicks, purchases, views, form submissions, and phone calls, are just two examples of the many sources from which data can be gathered.

With the click-to-call feature, users can quickly access particular services offered by our platform. Under such circumstances, the implementation of call routing, monitoring, and reporting may be made easier with the assistance of outside service providers. This implies that we might receive the phone number used to make contact with us, but not any other personal information, for a brief period of time. The main goal of this data is to improve the efficacy of our relationships with associates and referrals. The use of your data for purposes other than those for which it is currently intended is restricted, with the exception of the authorizations you grant.

4. Consent, Choice, and Modifications.

Using our services does not require users to submit any Personal Information. This exercise is completely voluntary to participate in. You agree to the terms stated in the privacy statement and any other practices relating to the handling of your information by choosing to use our services. It is politely requested that those with divergent opinions not use our services.

The user retains the ultimate say over whether or not to use these services, even though some access methods might require personal information to be disclosed. An individual has the right to revoke their consent at any time if they have previously disclosed personal information. Please refer to the previously mentioned section 8 for further information about how to opt out and withdraw consent.

5.Purposes for the collection of information.

The main reason for gathering Personal Information, sometimes called "Your Information," is to make it easier for us to provide our services and make them better overall. The data that is submitted is used for a variety of purposes, such as improving user interaction with our services, raising the general standard of those services, keeping an eye on suggestions and adverts, confirming user identities, stopping fraud, answering questions from users 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): Third-party cloud and storage services, sometimes referred to as "Data Platforms," make it easier to store and manage user data. This suggests that the user's data is shared with multinational companies—including those with headquarters in the US—for the purpose of data storage or other processing needs. The official website of Amazon Web Services can be used to access the company's privacy policies at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy. We guarantee adherence to relevant data protection legislation by imposing strict privacy safeguards and data security requirements on the Data Platforms that we utilise for our day-to-day operations. It is essential to recognise that their policies and procedures are solely governed by their own privacy laws.

6.2. Social Media Platforms. Social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn may collect and use non-personal information you submit for marketing and operational purposes. These platforms have the capacity to independently collect personal data and possibly combine it with the information we offer, provided that we obtain the user's express consent. We have no understanding of, power over, or ability to control the relevant social media platforms' privacy policies, which are the foundation upon which personal information is exposed. Section 9 of our Privacy Notice explains Californian citizens' legal right to exercise their right to object to participation in data exchanges.

6.3. Other Third Parties. Third-party organisations supporting our business operations, such as customer service representatives and providers of email or phone administration services, may have access to the information you enter. These companies also help us analyse user behaviour and improve our services. Service providers need to give their clients access to their own privacy policies and make sure that clients are always aware of these rules when using the services. Before engaging in any transactions, it is advisable to carefully review the instructions supplied by other businesses. These companies' global geographic distribution may differ depending on where their server infrastructure is located.

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.qr-code-creator.net, 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 event that www.qr-code-creator.net or its affiliated companies engage in a merger, acquisition, or divestment of all or a portion of their assets, personal information as well as any other data collected or received by these organisations may be transferred or assigned. Under such conditions, the data collection organisation has a duty to protect individuals' rights in compliance with the laws that apply in their home country and to ensure that their data processing practices are transparent.

It is only permitted to disclose non-personal information to third parties in specific circumstances and with reference to specific types of organisations. It's possible that outside businesses will offer features and services on our behalf in exchange for money. Organisations like Tableau and Google Analytics find it easier to gather data through user interactions or access when external features, services, or technology are integrated into our website. The data that is displayed is gathered by tracking user activity on our platforms, which includes both the content that is shown on the pages and a variety of interactive activities like clicking, scrolling, dragging the cursor, and typing.

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 websites, digital resources, or documents (collectively, "Third Party Properties") that are not under our direct control. The assets that belong to third parties include websites that are connected to the pertinent organisation. If the user decides to use the links provided and disclose their personal information on the approved Third-Party Properties, then a third party will have access to it. It should be noted that agreements between these third parties and www.qr-code-creator.net and its affiliated entities may allow for 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 and data collection practices of these third-party companies.

9.3. Privacy Notice for California Residents. California residents may be subject to certain circumstances where personal data may be governed by 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 entitled to specific protections for their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Californians who meet the necessary legal requirements are qualified to receive specific benefits.

  • Request to Know/Access: It is imperative that you guarantee that you have a thorough comprehension of all data that has been gathered, used, revealed, or acquired during the previous twelve (12) months. People must carefully read Section 3.1, which relates to user-provided data, Section 3.2, which deals with data obtained by the service, and Section 3.3, which deals with data sourced from third-party entities, to make sure they are exercising their right to access information.

  • Request for Deletion. People have the right to demand that their personal data be deleted from our databases. However, there are certain situations where this principle does not hold true, such as when data maintenance becomes necessary because of security concerns, legal 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 Opt-Out from Sale of Personal Information: At this time, our organisation does not engage in the sale of personally identifiable information. But it's important to remember that, depending on the rules established by the California Consumer Protection Act, some cookie applications might be eligible for this classification. Californians are free to exercise their right to stop the sale of their personal information to outside parties. To fulfil this requirement, find the "Do not sell my personal information" link in the website footer and select the appropriate option. Even so, even in the event that a person chooses to decline, they may still receive tailored advertisements that take into account the particular features of Our Services while catering to a wide demographic.
  • No Discrimination: We don't currently deal in the sale of personally identifiable information for profit. However, some uses of cookies might be included in this category as per the guidelines provided by the California Consumer Protection Act.

  • Handling Privacy Requests: Our company's main goal is to respond to all client inquiries with thorough and rational answers in no more than 45 days from the date of initial receipt. Should someone need more time—up to forty-five days—to finish the task they were given, they should be properly notified in writing and given an alternate deadline. When the verification procedure is not feasible or when it is thought necessary to keep personal information for reasons like troubleshooting, identifying security breaches, or adhering to legal requirements.

It might be allowed for other companies, like analytics tool suppliers, to gather private data about a user's online activities on various platforms and services. Whether or not the outcomes can be changed depends on the person using our services.

10.Information Security.

Our organisation places a high priority on data security, so we take special precautions to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data while it is being transmitted, processed, and stored on our website and computer systems. The confidentiality and integrity of the website's data collection and processing operations are protected by SSL encryption and regular security audits. By using third-party services that follow established information security standards and certifications, data storage and transfer are both protected. Our company has put monitoring systems and access restrictions in place to efficiently control and monitor employee access to sensitive information.

Even with these safeguards in place, it is crucial to recognise that the worldwide network's pervasiveness makes complete security against illegal access and other security issues unachievable. Owing to these factors, we are unable to guarantee total security of our systems and services against intrusions.

Personal Information may be transferred to a foreign jurisdiction from the individual's country of residence or country of origin. It is possible that some nations may not provide the same level of protection for personal data related to individuals as their own nation does. For example, it is highly likely that the data that you currently possess will be moved to the United States. Contractual protections are used to ensure sufficient data protection during the processing stage, especially 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 United States, falls under this category.
