Protecting privacy is a Quick Web Design priority. To underscore our fundamental commitment to privacy and our vision that confidentiality is a business right, we have adopted an online privacy policy. This policy reflects and implements our corporate privacy principles.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
I. Personal information
This site collects personal information from you only if you choose to provide this information to us. Personal information collected with your consent may include, for example, name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, the information you may supply in connection with applying for an account with us, any responses you choose to provide to survey questions, or any inquires you may make through our Web Site.
II. Cookies
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. This site uses first-party cookies (session and persistent). However, personally identifiable information is not collected through the use of cookies. For example, cookies are used to determine whether a visitor is unique or whether a visitor has viewed our site before. This site uses session cookies for single sign-on into the application and persistent cookies for Web site traffic analysis. Cookies are also used in sections of this site that require user log-in to authenticate and validate users and determine whether a user’s session is active or has timed out.
While most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, you can set yours to refuse cookies or alert you before accepting them. Your browser manufacturer has information on changing the default setting for your specific browser.
III. Non-personally-identifiable information
This site also collects non-personally-identifiable information. For example, as you browse this Web site, we may collect information about your visit, but not about you personally. Via Web server logs, for example, we may monitor statistics such as the number of people that visit our site, which page(s) are visited on our site. From this domain, our visitors come (e.g., aol.com, hotmail.com, etc.), and which browsers people use to visit our site (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.).
INFORMATION USE AND CONSUMER CHOICE
The information collected by this Web site is used only for responding to your inquiries and otherwise corresponding with you, for processing transactions you request, maintaining your account (if you have one), and for the administration, review, and/or the improvement of the content of our Web site.
We may contact you in response to your comments or inquiries, as part of the maintenance of your account with us (if you have one), or to complete a transaction that you requested.
We may also contact you to inform you of other products or services we believe may be of interest to you, but we will offer you an opportunity not to receive such communications.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site or a particular product or service, we will ask you for your friend’s name and e-mail address. Then, we will automatically send your friend a one-time e-mail message with information about the product or service and/or inviting them to visit the site. This message may include your name and/or e-mail address and any optional message you elect to send along with our e-mail. We do not retain the information you provide as part of this referral service (although we may retain your friend’s e-mail address if they request to receive additional information or e-mail messages from us).
ONWARD TRANSFER
We may outsource some tasks, including the operation of certain Web site functions, which require access to the information you supply online. In such cases, however, we require that the companies acting on our behalf abide by our privacy policy and institute safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your information.
Finally, please note that we may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law or legal process.
ACCESS AND CORRECTION
We know the importance of accurate data. Therefore, we strive to maintain the accuracy of the information collected through this Web site. Furthermore, we believe that the individual is invaluable in ensuring that data is complete and accurate. Therefore, we will provide you with access to personally identifiable information you provide through our Website for as long as we maintain that information in a readily accessible format. Similarly, we permit and encourage you to correct inaccuracies in the information you submit to us through our Web site.
If you wish to correct any inaccurate information you have submitted to this site, please use the mechanisms provided by the site or send an e-mail to contacts@quickwebdesigns.com.
SECURITY
We take steps to protect against the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of personal information collected through this Website. We recognize the importance of security for all personal information collected by our Web site.
Once we receive personal information, we take steps to protect its security on our systems. For example, we use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) Encryption if we request or transmit sensitive information.
We limit access to personal information to those employees who need access to carry out their job responsibilities.
POLICY CHANGES
We may revise this online privacy policy from time to time. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on the Web site. In addition, if we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via e-mail. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner.
