Privacy Policy
QUICKPAGE INC. TAKES YOUR PRIVACY AND THE PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SERIOUSLY. QUICKPAGE PROVIDES THIS PRIVACY POLICY TO HELP YOU MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO USE OR CONTINUE USING QUICKPAGE’S APPLICATION AND RELATED MATERIALS, SOFTWARE, AND CONTENT (“APP SERVICES”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO OUR PRACTICES, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE APP SERVICES.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to Quickpage’s Terms of Service (“Terms”). Your use of the App Services, and any personal information you provide as a result of your access to and use of the App Services, remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms.
Please note that any User Submissions or other content posted at the direction or discretion of users of the App Services become published content and are not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy.
1. What does this Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy is part of Quickpage’s Terms of Service and covers the treatment of user information, including personally identifiable information, obtained by Quickpage, including information obtained when you access and use the App Services or other software provided by Quickpage. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Quickpage does not own or control, or to individuals whom Quickpage does not employ or manage, including any of the third parties to which Quickpage may disclose user information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
2. The Information Quickpage Collects
Quickpage may obtain the following types of information from or concerning you or your mobile phone device, which may include information that can be used to identify you, as specified below (“Personally Identifying Information” or “PII”).
User Provided Information: You provide certain PII, such as your name, mobile phone number, billing information (if applicable), and email address, when choosing to participate in various uses of the App Services, such as registering as a user. As an example, if you wish to join a chat regarding content created by another user, you will be requested to input your name and email address in order to proceed. If you are using the App Services to create pages, after a free trial, you will be given the opportunity to purchase further use, which will require provision of billing and credit card information.
Cookies Information: When you use Quickpage’s mobile application, we may send one or more cookies, or small text files containing a sting of alphanumeric characters, to your mobile device or computer that uniquely identify your browser. Quickpage uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the application. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, the App Services may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
Log File Information: As part of the standard operation of the App Services, Quickpage may collect and analyze information when you use the application. Our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends us. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type and language, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, conversations within chats, and the date and time of your request. In essence, Quickpage will be analyzing the use of its applications and App Services.
3. Information Quickpage does not Collect
Quickpage does not collect physical addresses or other contact information from its users, its users’ mobile address books, or its users’ contact lists. We do not collect GSP location data, but users may voluntarily share their location with other users via the App Services. We do, however, share your city and state-level location information with other users of the App Services.
4. Uses and Disclosures of Information Collected
If you submit PII to us through your access to or use of the App Services, we will use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the App Services. In particular, your name and email address are essential to your use of the App Services and will be retained. Credit card information will used only for billing and will not be stored in Quickpage’s servers. Billing will be facilitated through Stripe, a payment processing service. For further information about Stripe and to read its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, click here. In addition, any PII or content you voluntarily disclose on the App Services becomes publicly available and may be collected and used by other users of the App Services. It is important that you take caution before voluntarily disclosing such information. Your name and city and state-level location information may be displayed to other users when you use the App Services, especially when you go to a page and join a chat. We may use your PII without further consent to send commercial or marketing messages as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt in or out. We may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes, such as notifying you of major changes to Quickpage and its App Services. We may use both your PII and certain non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality, design, and functionality of the App Services, and to create new features, promotions, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends. We may use cookies and log file information to provide custom, personalized content and information, monitor individual and aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors or pages viewed, or track entries, submissions, and views. Quickpage may use third party cookies on the App Services as well. For instance, Quickpage uses Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data. Google provides some additional privacy options described at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ regarding Google Analytics cookies.
By providing Quickpage or a Quickpage customer with your mobile telephone number, you consent to receive text messages at that number as requested for account verification, invitations, marketing, and other purposes related to the App Services. While Quickpage does not charge a fee for text messages, your carrier may charge standard messaging, data, and other fees. You are responsible for these charges. Quickpage may send and receive text messages through cellular telephone operators or other networks, and the level of reliability may vary. Quickpage is not responsible for the timeliness or final delivery of the message, as this is out of Quickpage’s control and is the responsibility of the cellular telephone operator or other networks. You have the ability to opt out of receiving these SMS messages by texting the word STOP to 425-240-9393. You may also reply STOP to any message you receive from Quickpage. Upon receipt of your STOP message, Quickpage will send you a SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. At that point, you will no longer receive any further SMS messages from Quickpage. If you need any assistance, you can always text the word HELP to 425-240-9393 or reply “HELP” to any message you receive from Quickpage.
5. When Quickpage Discloses Information
Other users of the App Services may see your User Submissions (for example, content you post in a chat) in a way that is consistent with proper use of the App Services. We do not sell or share your PII with other third parties for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt in or out. We may share your PII with third party service providers to the extent it is reasonably necessary to perform, improve, or maintain the App Services. We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data or number of clicks) with interested third parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality of the App Services. We may collect and release PII and/or non-personally identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws, international law, or to respond to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or the equivalent, or where in our reasonable belief, an individual’s physical safety may be at risk. Quickpage also reserves the right to disclose PII and/or non-personally identifiable information that Quickpage believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce the Terms of Service, to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against third party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the App Services or our servers, and to protect the rights, property, and personal safety of Quickpage, our users, and others.
6. Your Choices
You may decline to submit Personally Identifiable Information through the App Services, in which case Quickpage may not be able to provide certain services to you. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, please cease use of the App Services and uninstall the mobile application. Your continued use of the App Services signifies your assent to and acceptance of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please contact Quickpage via email with any questions or concerns about the Privacy Policy, your personal information, your consent, or your ability to opt in or out, if applicable.
7. Public Forums
We may off chat rooms, message boards, or other similar public forums where you and other users can communicate. The protections described in this Privacy Policy do not apply when you provide information (including personal information) in connection with your use of these public forums. We may use personally identifiable information, such as your name, to identify you with a posting in a public forum. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by anyone, including third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through the App Services.
8. Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. The App Services are not directed to children under the age of 18, and Quickpage does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 without obtaining parental consent.
9. Our Commitment to Data Security
Quickpage uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Quickpage. Such transmissions are made at your own risk. Using unsecured Wi-Fi or other unprotected networks to submit messages through the App Services is not recommended. Once we receive your transmission of information, Quickpage uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. You acknowledge and understand, however, that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our safeguards. If Quickpage learns of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so you can take appropriate protective measures. Quickpage may also post a notice on the App Services if a security breach occurs.
10. International Visitors
The App Services are hosted in the United States. If you choose to use the App Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. Also, Quickpage may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the App Services. By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the App Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
11. Effect of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event Quickpage is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, your information may be transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.
12. Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and such revisions will be reflected by the “effective date” below. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes. If Quickpage modifies this Privacy Policy, it will make it available through the App Services, and indicate the date of the latest revision. In the event that the modifications materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, Quickpage will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change. For example, Quickpage may send a message to your email address, if it has one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the App Services for the first time after such material changes are made. Your continued use of the App Services after the revised Privacy Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of the Privacy Policy.
