Last Updated: May 20, 2021
We prioritize transparency and aim to clarify how www.qrcodecreator.us (referred to as "we," "our," or "us") gathers data related to the Site, its functions, subdomains, and services. This privacy policy has been crafted for that purpose. The term "Our Services" includes all the products, features, information, and services provided on our website. The headings in this policy are logically organized to facilitate navigation, emphasizing user understanding and simplifying the exploration of the privacy policy.
The organization has the liberty to alter its privacy policy as it deems fit without external intervention. The most recent update date of the Privacy Policy is always visible at the bottom, and any modifications are communicated on our website. Your use or interaction with the Site, including any subsequent downloads or access made after the changes, signifies your acknowledgment and acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. In the event of significant changes, timely public notification will be made through appropriate channels, such as a notice on the website, at least seven (7) days before the changes become effective. The changes will take effect seven (7) days after the notification is published.
The Privacy Policy is fully integrated into the Terms of Use. If there are any terms in the Privacy Policy that lack clear definitions, it is imperative to comprehend their meaning within the specific context in which they are utilized.
The handling and utilization of personal data adhere to data protection laws. Common practice involves respecting one or more of the following legal bases when processing personal data:
2.1. Fulfillment of a Contract. Your utilization of Our Services constitutes explicit consent for us to provide you with Our Services in line with our comprehensive Terms of Use. Processing certain Personal Information, such as your IP address, may be necessary to carry out this activity.
2.2. Justifiable Interests. Legitimate business purposes, such as analytics, improving user experiences, preventing fraud, and maintaining security, permit the legal use of Personal Information collected from users of our services.
2.3. Legal Responsibilities. In certain situations, meeting legal or regulatory obligations, such as responding to consumer complaints or providing information to regulatory bodies, may necessitate the collection of personal data.
2.4. Assent. The person's explicit consent may be necessary for the processing and use of personal information to provide additional services. Services like creating user profiles, receiving personalized offers, writing product reviews, and subscribing to newsletters are examples. Legal compliance for this processing can be maintained by withdrawing consent through the provided link, and we will contact you as needed after confirming your request.
The collection of data on user interactions and usage of Our Services involves the use of various methods.
3.1. Data You Provide Us. To utilize certain features and services on Our Services, the provision of specific personal information may be mandatory. This includes activities such as creating a user profile, sharing reviews for products or services, enrolling in newsletters, and receiving promotional materials. We actively seek your voluntary consent before collecting any personal data, as elaborated in the next section if you accept our privacy policy.
In this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" refers to any data that, either independently or in conjunction with other information, can be used to pinpoint a specific individual. This includes details such as home address, phone number, email address, full name, and additional contact information. Whether an IP address qualifies as personal information depends on factors like its intended use and the legal jurisdiction in question. The user's Internet service provider assigns the IP address to their device, influencing its classification. Although extreme care will be taken if personally identifiable information is discovered (which is highly unlikely), the suggested method does not enable user identification.
3.1.1. Services and Forms Provided by External Entities: Within our organization, we extend diverse services, one of which involves assessing and appraising different brands, businesses, and entities identified as "Partners." We also evaluate the complementary products provided by these Partners, labeling them as "Products." Users may, on occasion, unlock additional opportunities, resources, and services through our partners. Through the voluntary completion of an online form, users can explore these extra offerings. The information submitted on the form expedites the processing of your interaction by the pertinent Partner ("Lead").
To initiate a transaction with a Partner or acquire additional insights about a Partner or Product, please click on the pertinent Partner icon or tab. This action will lead you to a dedicated landing page provided by the Partner. Keep in mind that the Partner holds the ownership and management responsibilities for this website. It's noteworthy that the website is accessible through diverse web portals. Visitors may be prompted to provide certain information on the landing page, encompassing their name, phone number, and email address—collectively identified as "Landing Page Info."
It's crucial to understand that the Partner overseeing the landing page gains immediate access to user information. As a result, the information provided falls under the jurisdiction of the Partner's privacy policy and data collection methods. A thorough understanding of the privacy policies of the relevant entities is strongly recommended to comprehend the full scope of how your Personal Information is gathered and used.
3.1.2. Contact Us. The organization holds the right to seek the revelation of particular Personal Information, including the user's name and email address, when a user communicates with us using any of our diverse communication channels, such as emails, web forms, feedback forms, or service reporting tools. The principles defined in sections 4 and 5 of the Privacy Policy specify that the information supplied by the user, coupled with the specifics of their inquiry, will be employed to address their request and meet our valid business objectives.
3.1.3. Blogs, Newsletters, Surveys, and Promotions. Our services include a blog forum, reviews, and articles covering Partners, Services, Products, and relevant business verticals. Additionally, participants have access to newsletter subscriptions, marketing campaigns, and polls. These tasks can be managed either in-house or by external contractors chosen by the service provider. When individuals partake in specific activities like taking surveys, subscribing to newsletters, or commenting on blogs, they may be prompted to furnish Personal Information, such as their name and email address. It's crucial to understand that in such instances, this information will be shared with a third party, and their privacy policy will take precedence over ours. We assure you that we will use the provided information solely for its intended purposes.
3.1.4. User Reviews and User Profiles. Users can opt to have a user profile crafted for our services or request an evaluation of our partners. This enables us to comprehend your preferences better and offer you a more tailored and individualized experience.
3.2. Data Acquired From Your Input. We Collect Information on the Use and Interaction with Our Services through a Variety of Methods.
3.2.1. Information about the Device: The acquisition of device-specific information streamlines service delivery and enhances cross-device compatibility in terms of language, location, and time zone. Key attributes such as device type, operating system, language, and user agent details (browser type and screen resolution) are essential.
3.2.2. Interactions and Usage: The information about user behavior is gathered to improve and maximize the functionality of our services, with data shared among partners and affiliates. Users have the flexibility to log in using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) from both internal and external sources. Furthermore, we monitor user activity on the platform, tracking views and clicks, while also recording the chronological sequence of user interactions on the website, along with the precise day and time of their visits.
3.2.3. Log Files: Tracking technologies such as pixel tags are employed on our platforms to gather data from server log files, examining user behavior to identify patterns and assess interactions with our services. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, allocated to users' devices by their Internet service providers (ISPs), are included in the collected data. The key function of this information is to determine user location, encompassing preferred language, country, and state. This enables us to deliver services in a language aligned with users' native tongue and suitable for their location. Subsequently, automated processes scrutinize IP addresses for signs of unethical behavior.
3.2.4. Cookies and Similar Technologies. To anonymously monitor users online, we might utilize technologies like "cookies," "web beacons," and "pixel tags" in conjunction with our services. These technologies may be used by us or other service providers. A "cookie" is a small digital file sent by a website to a user's computer. Cookies play a crucial role in allowing the website to identify and recognize the specific browser a user is using upon their return. This functionality empowers the website to store and retrieve user preferences and relevant data about their interactions with Our Services. Users can choose to fully accept cookies or receive notifications each time a new cookie is added to their web browser. However, this choice may result in the disabling of certain features or services on the website, restricting access to specific sections.
A device called a "pixel tag" is integrated into websites to track and log user activity, encompassing email access and reading when relevant. The seamless collaboration of cookies is frequently observed.
To gain a complete understanding of the diverse cookie types utilized and the integration of tracking technologies and cookies on Our Services, we invite you to carefully peruse our Cookie Policy.
3.3. Information we receive from Third Parties. Collaborating with other entities, affiliates, and partners, our services strive for operational efficiency. The data is sourced from diverse channels, including an internal user identity generator and the scrutiny of user behaviors like clicks, purchases, views, form completions, and phone calls.
Utilizing the click-to-call feature on our platform streamlines customer access to a range of services. In these scenarios, collaboration with external service providers allows for call routing, monitoring, and reporting. This means that we might retain the contact phone number for a short period, excluding any personal information. The fundamental purpose of this data is to optimize the efficiency of our partnerships and recommendations. Your provided permissions distinctly outline the limited use of your data for purposes other than its original intent.
The provision of Personal Information by users when using Our Services is completely voluntary. Engaging in this activity is a matter of personal choice. By utilizing our services, users implicitly accept the terms outlined in the privacy statement and any applicable information practices. We humbly request users of Our Services to harmonize with these principles.
The decision to use different services lies entirely with the user, even if it means sharing specific personal information. Changing one's mind is a choice, even if sensitive information has already been shared. Section 8 provides additional details on opting out and withdrawing consent.
The key purpose behind the collection of Personal Information, or commonly termed "your Information," is to facilitate the seamless delivery of Our Services and elevate their overall excellence. Some of the objectives for obtaining this information encompass refining user interaction with our services, enhancing the overall quality of the services, monitoring recommendations and advertisements, verifying user identities, preventing fraud, addressing user queries and other communications, and validating user access to and usage of our services.
We do not share personal details with unrelated external parties, except under certain conditions:
6.1. Systems for Safeguarding and Storing Data ("Data Platforms"): "Data Platforms," external cloud and storage service providers, facilitate user data handling. This involves transferring user data to international firms, including those in the U.S., for storage or processing. Check Amazon Web Services' privacy policy at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy for detailed information. Our use of these Data Platforms is governed by robust privacy and data security standards, ensuring compliance with data protection laws. However, their privacy policies are confined to their own procedures and activities.
6.2. Social Media Platforms. Platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn, for business and marketing activities, might gather and use personal data about you that is not directly tied to your identity. They are capable of autonomously acquiring personal data and may integrate it with the information we provide, assuming user consent is obtained. Our understanding and control over the privacy practices of these social media platforms are limited, influencing the distribution of personal information. Californians, as detailed in Section 9 of our Privacy Notice, have the legal option to refuse participation in data exchanges.
6.3. Other Third Parties. Third-party service providers, such as customer support representatives and organizations managing phone or email services, could have access to your submitted information. They also contribute to user behavior analysis and service enhancement. It is essential for these providers to maintain distinct privacy policies and keep users well-informed about them. We recommend thoroughly examining the policies of these companies prior to any transactions. These companies often operate internationally, with locations based on their server infrastructure.
6.4. Enforcement. The decision to disclose Personal Information to other organizations might be made if it's considered beneficial or necessary. This can include reasons such as adhering to relevant legal requirements, regulations, court orders, or governmental demands. Moreover, this action may be undertaken to probe potential violations of our terms, resolve fraud or security issues, and safeguard the assets, privacy, or safety of www.qrcodecreator.us, our related companies, yourself, and/or the general public.
6.5. Partners and Products. We might opt to distribute Personal Information to other organizations if it's deemed advantageous or required. This could be due to a range of factors, such as obeying relevant legal, regulatory, or judicial mandates, or responding to requests from authorities. Moreover, this action could be aimed at probing potential violations of our terms of use, addressing fraud or security challenges, and ensuring the protection of www.qrcodecreator.us, our associated companies, you, and/or the general public.
6.6. Merger, Sale or Bankruptcy. Should www.qrcodecreator.us and its associated entities decide to sell part or all of their assets, or if they enter into a merger or acquisition with another company, the transfer or allocation of Personal Information and other gathered data could occur. In these circumstances, the organization collecting the data is tasked with ensuring transparent and honest data processing practices, and protecting the rights of individuals as per the legal requirements of their home countries.
Non-personal data can be disclosed to third parties and within some organizations in certain scenarios. Companies outside our organization may contribute services and functionalities for either our advantage or their own purposes. The incorporation of tools from companies like Tableau and Google Analytics with our website facilitates easier data gathering during user interactions. This data collection tracks user behaviors, including clicking, scrolling, cursor dragging, and keyboard typing, to improve both the supplied information and the content on our web pages.
Third-party tools on our site may deploy their own cookies to carry out distinct tasks, and each operates under its individual privacy standards. For comprehensive insights into our use of cookies, please review our Cookie Policy. To gain a deeper understanding of Google's use of cookies, a link is provided for your convenience. Moreover, if you prefer to discontinue using Google Analytics, a separate link is available for opting out.
This website includes links to various other documents, files, or webpages, known as "Third Party Properties," which are not within our immediate jurisdiction. Web pages linked to the respective third-party organization fall under this category. A user's personal information might be obtained by a third party if they use the provided links and disclose information on these authorized Third-Party Properties. Please note that www.qrcodecreator.us and its affiliates may have agreements with these third parties to share and receive data, including Personal Information. It is critical to understand that the privacy policies or data gathering practices of these third-party entities do not govern Third-Party Properties and Products. Users are strongly recommended to extensively review the privacy statements and terms and conditions of any Third-Party Property they consider using or interacting with.
In line with our Privacy Policy, users are encouraged to be thoughtful and prudent when deciding to provide us with personal information. This consideration is applicable to individuals regardless of their geographic location. The exercise of rights concerning personal information by these individuals is subject to certain stipulations:
8.1. Cookies and Tracking Technologies. To control or decline the use of cookies by third-party websites or services, users can alter their web browser settings. Further details on how to do this are provided in Section 2.1.1 of the current agreement.
8.2. It is advisable for users to thoroughly scrutinize their Personal Information, carry out any needed modifications, or submit a formal request for its removal from our systems if it is deemed redundant. Additional details can be found in the earlier referenced Section 2.

9.3. Privacy Notice for California Residents. In certain scenarios involving personal data, residents of California might be subject to specific California state laws.

Californians can enjoy these rights provided they adhere to the stipulations of the law.
Data security is a critical aspect of our operations, prompting us to take steps to protect the privacy and integrity of information exchanged, handled, and stored via our website and computing infrastructure. SSL encryption is used on our website, and regular evaluations are conducted to ensure the security of our data gathering and processing activities. We use third-party services for data transmission and storage that comply with established information security certifications and norms. Moreover, our firm has deployed monitoring tools and implemented access limitations to efficiently monitor and control staff access to confidential data.
It's important to understand that, given the vastness of the global internet network, achieving complete security against unauthorized access and other security risks is not entirely feasible, even with our stringent measures in place. Therefore, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee that our systems and services will never be subject to security breaches.
We consciously avoid offering our services to those under sixteen years old, in line with our policy that explicitly prohibits the collection of Personal Information from minors below this age. If we unintentionally come into possession of such information from individuals under sixteen, we commit to promptly removing it. For any queries or concerns regarding the possibility of us holding information from minors, please contact us at [email protected] for more details.
The transfer of Personal Information from a person's country of residence or origin to other countries can occur. This brings up the possibility that certain countries may not provide the same level of protection for personal data as the individual's home country. A notable example is the potential transfer of personal data to the United States. In such cases, we use contractual safeguards with our external contractors to ensure sufficient data protection throughout the data processing stage.
Your use of our services and submission of Personal Information constitutes your explicit agreement to the data use terms specified in our Privacy Policy. This agreement encompasses the transfer of data to other countries, notably to the United States.
Our Services boast a steadfast commitment to upholding and tracking the latest privacy standards in the industry, a point of pride for our company. We are constantly adapting to meet the dynamic requirements of our clients, maintaining a cutting-edge approach to privacy.
