Quipol Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes Quipol's policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. Quipol receives your information through our various web sites, APIs, applications, services and third-parties ("Services"). For example, you send us information when you use Quipol from our web site, add a Quipol widget to your website, or access Quipol from an application. When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure, and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country that you reside in or create information from, your information may be used by Quipol in the United States or any other country where Quipol operates.
If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@quipol.com.
Information Collection and Use
Information Collected Upon Registration: When you create or reconfigure a Quipol account, you provide some personal information, such as your name, username, password, and email address. Some of this information, for example, your name and username, is listed publicly on our Services. Some Services do not require registration.
Additional Information: You may provide us with additional information to make public, such as a short biography, your location, or a picture. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services or to market to you. You may unsubscribe from these messages by following the instructions contained within the messages or the instructions on our web site. If you email us, we may keep your message, email address, and contact information to respond to your request. Providing the additional information described in this section is entirely optional.
Public Information: Our Services are primarily designed to help you engage and interact with the world. Most of the information you provide to us is information you are asking us to make public. Our default is almost always to make the information you provide public but we generally give you settings (http://quipol.com/account/edit) to make the information more private if you want. Your public information is broadly and instantly disseminated. For example, your public Quipols are searchable by many search engines. You should be careful about all information that will be made public by Quipol, not just your Quipols.
Log Data: Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, the referring domain, pages visited, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with our website, applications and advertisements, may also be included in Log Data. If we haven’t already deleted the Log Data earlier, we will either delete it or remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address, or email address, after 24 months.
Links: Quipol may keep track of how you interact with objects across our Services including third party services and clients by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Services, including advertising, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular Quipol was clicked on.
Cookies: Like many websites, we use "cookie" technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our Services such as searching and looking at public user profiles or Quipols. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk. Quipol may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
Third Party Services: Quipol uses a variety of services hosted by third parties to help provide our Services, such as hosting our various blogs and wikis, and to help us understand the use of our Services, such as Google Analytics. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP request.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when you use a third party web client or application to access your Quipol account.
Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy.
Law and Harm: We may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Quipol's rights or property.
Business Transfers: In the event that Quipol is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your public Quipols or the number of users who clicked on a particular link (even if only one did).
Modifying Your Personal Information
If you are a registered user of our Services, we provide you with tools to access or modify the personal information you provided to us and associated with your account.
You can also permanently delete your Quipol account in the Settings menu. Your account will be deactivated and then deleted. When your account is deactivated, it is not viewable on Quipol.com. For up to 30 days, it may still be possible to restore your account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. After 30 days, we begin the process of deleting your account from our systems, which can take up to a week.
Our Policy Towards Children
Our Services are not directed to people under 13. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at privacy@quipol.com. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
Changes to this Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at http://Quipol.com/privacy. If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you via an email to the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
