Last Updated: May 20, 2021
Please comprehend how qrcodecreator.review (also referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) gathers information about the Site, its services, features, and subdomains. This is why we have created this privacy policy. When you visit our website, “Our Services” encompasses all the data, products, features, and assistance you can avail yourself of. The headings in the policy are not intended to aid in interpretation; rather, they are logically arranged to facilitate navigation. The assistance aims to elucidate the privacy policy for users and simplify its navigation.
External entities cannot prevent the company from modifying its privacy policy at its discretion. If the Privacy Policy is altered, we will post the updated version on our website along with the date of the last update. Any engagement with the Site following the changes, including any new downloads or visits, signifies your agreement to the updated Privacy Policy. The public will be informed about any significant changes at least seven (7) days before their implementation or as soon as possible through appropriate channels, such as a notice posted on the website. The changes will take effect seven (7) days after the notice’s publication.
The Privacy Policy constitutes a significant portion of the Terms of Use. If any terms within the Privacy Policy are not explicitly defined, it’s crucial to interpret them based on their use context.
We adhere to data protection laws when handling and managing personal information. Typically, one or more of the following legal grounds are invoked when processing personal data:
2.1. Contract Execution. You consent to us providing you with Our Services, provided you comply with Our complete Usage Terms when utilizing Our Services. To accomplish this, you may need to process some Personal Information, such as the user’s IP address.
2.2. Legitimate Interests. We may utilize the Personal Information we obtain from service users for lawful business objectives, such as enhancing user experience, conducting analytics, preventing fraud, and ensuring security.
2.3. Legal Obligations. In certain instances, collecting personal information may be necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, such as addressing customer complaints or providing information to regulatory authorities.
2.4. Consent. Individuals may be required to obtain explicit consent before processing and using their personal information to offer additional services. These services may include creating a user profile, offering personalized deals, writing product reviews, and subscribing to newsletters. If consent is required for lawful processing, it can be withdrawn by clicking the provided link. We will contact you if necessary after verifying your request.
We employ various techniques to collect information about user interactions and usage of Our Services.
3.1. The Information You Provide. To utilize certain features and services of Our Services, you may be required to provide us with personal information. This group includes creating a user profile, submitting reviews of products or services, subscribing to newsletters, and receiving marketing materials. We will respectfully request your consent before sharing any sensitive information. If you accept our privacy policy, we may also gather some personal information, which will be explained in the subsequent section.
In the context of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” refers to any data that can be used to identify an individual, either on its own or in combination with other data. Identifiers can include full name, phone number, email address, residential address, and other contact methods. Whether an IP address constitutes personal information depends on various factors, such as the purpose of data usage and the relevant jurisdiction's laws. The IP address assigned to the user’s device by their Internet service provider allows us to determine this. In the unlikely event that personally identifiable information is collected, it will be treated with utmost care and securely stored. However, the proposed method does not enable user identification.
3.1.1. Forms and Services from Third Parties. As a company, we provide various services, including assessing and rating various brands, firms, and entities we refer to as “Partners.” We also examine the goods these Partners provide that align with our requirements, which we term “Products.” Occasionally, our Partners may facilitate access to other services, resources, and opportunities. Users may be offered the aforementioned options in return for voluntarily and knowingly completing an online form. The information on this form assists the appropriate Partner (“Lead”) in expediting your interaction.
To gain more insights about a Partner or Product or to initiate a business relationship with a Partner, please click on the corresponding Partner icon or tab. Upon completion, you will be redirected to a specific landing page. The Partner is the entity that owns and operates this website. It’s crucial to note that multiple websites can access the website. Visitors to the Landing Page may be requested to provide specific information, such as their name, phone number, and email address, referred to as “Landing Page Info.”
Individuals who visit the landing page have their information immediately shared with the Partner managing it. Consequently, the Partner's data collection practices and privacy policy apply to the shared data. It is highly recommended that you thoroughly read the privacy policies of the companies that collect and utilize your personal information to comprehend their processes fully.
3.1.2. Inquiries. The company may request Personal Information, such as the user’s name and email address, to be shared whenever a user contacts us through one of our numerous communication channels, such as web forms, emails, feedback forms, or problem-reporting tools. As per sections 4 and 5 of the Privacy Policy, the information provided by the user, along with the specifics of their request, must be utilized to fulfill their request and achieve our legitimate business objectives.
3.1.3. Promotions, Blogs, Newsletters, and Surveys. Our services include a blog forum that features reviews and articles about Partners, Services, Products, and other related business sectors. Participants also have the opportunity to engage in surveys, promotional activities, and newsletter subscriptions. The service provider has two options: manage or outsource these tasks. When participating in activities such as completing surveys, subscribing to newsletters, or commenting on blogs, individuals may be asked to provide Personal Information, such as their name and email address. This information may be shared with a third party whose privacy policy will be applicable in conjunction with ours. We assure you that the information provided will only be used for the purpose for which it was initially collected.

3.2.1. Details About Your Device. We gather data unique to each device to enhance our service delivery and ensure compatibility across devices, taking into account language, location, and time zone. We store information such as the device type, the operating system and its version, the language it uses, and the browser version.

We record the exact date and time of user visits to our website and their interactions and navigation patterns on other websites.
3.2.3. Log Files. We use tracking technologies on our platforms and server log files to identify trends, monitor user behavior, and assess user interactions with our services. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are included with the data. Customers’ Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign these addresses to their devices. IP addresses are collected for a limited period and utilized in specific ways. Initially, the data determines the user’s location based on their chosen language, country, and state. This allows us to offer our services to users in a language appropriate for their region and resembling their native language. Subsequently, computer processes scan the IP addresses for indications of misconduct.
3.2.4.Understanding Cookies and Tracking Technologies. In our effort to enhance your online experience, qrcodecreator.review employs various digital tools such as "cookies," "web beacons," and "pixel tags." We or our service partners may utilize these technologies to monitor online activities anonymously.
A "cookie" is a tiny data file sent from a website to your computer's hard drive, which is recognized upon your return to the site. This technology enables the website to remember your preferences and the details of your interactions with our Services, making your visits more personalized and efficient. While you can receive alerts about new cookies or accept them all, restricting cookies may limit your access to certain website features or services.
"Pixel tags" are small code snippets embedded in websites and emails, allowing for the discreet monitoring of user interactions and behaviors and enhancing interactions with cookies.
For those keen on a deeper dive into how we utilize cookies and other tracking technologies to improve your service experience, we invite you to review our Cookie Policy for comprehensive insights.
3.3 Information from External Sources
Our platform thrives on collaboration with external entities such as affiliates, partners, and third-party organizations to enhance our operations. We acquire data through various means, including using an internal user identity mechanism and analyzing user actions like clicks, sales, views, form submissions, and telephone interactions.
Our click-to-call feature is designed to streamline customer access to various services. Sometimes, third-party service providers may assist with call routing, monitoring, and analysis. This process might temporarily involve storing the phone number used to initiate the call, although no personal information is retained. The primary aim of collecting this data is to improve our engagement with partners and referral activities, ensuring your data is only utilized for its intended purposes based on your specific consent.
Participation in Our Services does not mandate the provision of Personal Information, offering users the freedom to opt out. You consent to this privacy policy and our data handling practices by engaging with our services. We expect users of Our Services to align with this understanding.
Access to certain services may require specific personal details; however, the choice to participate remains with the user. You can do so anytime to retract previously provided sensitive information. For guidance on opting out and revoking consent, please refer to section 8, which details the process for modifying your preferences.

We are cautious about sharing your personal information with third parties not affiliated with us, except in the following scenarios:
6.1. Data Storage and Security
"Data Platforms" refer to external cloud and storage services employed to facilitate data management and storage on your behalf. This involves transferring your information to international companies, including those based in the USA, for data storage or processing purposes. For example, you can review Amazon Web Services' privacy practices at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy. We ensure that the Data Platforms we engage for our operational needs adhere to robust privacy and data security measures to comply with data protection laws. However, it's crucial to note that their privacy policies govern their practices, not ours.
6.2. Social Media Platforms
For marketing and operational objectives, platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn may collect and utilize data about you that does not directly reveal your identity. With your explicit consent, these platforms may independently gather and merge personal information with the data we provide. We do not have control over, nor can we alter, the privacy policies of these social media platforms that govern sharing personal information. As detailed in Section 9 of our Privacy Notice, California residents have a specific right to opt out of such data-sharing arrangements.
6.3 Collaborations and Service Providers
We collaborate with external organizations that assist us in delivering our services effectively. This includes customer support agents and companies managing our phone and email communications. These partners play a crucial role in analyzing user activities, and enhancing our offerings, and may have access to the information you provide. It's crucial for these service providers to have their privacy policies and ensure they are transparent with users. We advise you to review any service terms carefully before engaging with third-party services. Note that these companies might operate globally, meaning your information could be processed on servers worldwide.
6.4 Information Sharing for Legal and Security Reasons
There might be circumstances where sharing your Personal Information with external entities becomes necessary or beneficial. This could be for various reasons, including compliance with legal obligations, regulations, court orders, or governmental requests. Additionally, this may involve investigating potential violations of our terms of service, addressing fraud or security concerns, or protecting the rights, property, or safety of qrcodecreator.review, our affiliates, you, or the public.
6.5 Interaction with Products and Partners through Our Online Form
When you express interest in our services through our Online Form, you can share your personal details with selected partners that match your interests. This allows our partners to provide you with tailored information directly. However, it's important to remember that once your information is shared, these partners may use it to contact you. Our influence over partner communication is limited, as privacy practices may differ. Be mindful that our partners and clients may be located in various regions across the globe.
6.6. Changes in Business Structure
At qrcodecreator.review, we understand that business landscapes evolve, including possibilities of asset sales, mergers, or acquisitions involving our company and its affiliates. Should such transformations occur, it’s important to know that any Personal Information and collected data might be part of the assets transferred or shared. In these scenarios, the responsibility falls on the acquiring entity to uphold your privacy rights as per the legal standards of your jurisdiction, ensuring transparency and integrity in data handling practices.
Occasionally, we may share anonymized or aggregate data with third parties. This could include services provided by companies outside our immediate control that contribute to enhancing our website's functionality or offer their benefits, like Tableau and Google Analytics. These external services help collect data based on user interactions such as clicks, scrolls, cursor movements, and keystrokes to tailor our platform content and user experience.
Please be aware that these third-party services use their cookies to function efficiently and operate under their privacy policies. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with our Cookie Policy to understand cookie usage better. For details on Google’s cookie practices and to opt out of Google Analytics, please follow the provided links.
You might find links to external sources, such as other websites or online documents, that we don't directly oversee on our website. These external sources, known as "Third-Party Properties," may include websites associated with organizations outside our control. When you follow these links and interact with these Third-Party Properties, your personal information might become visible to others outside our website. It's important to note that some of these third parties may have arrangements with qrcodecreator.review and its affiliated companies that allow for the exchange and sharing of data, including Personal Information.
However, it's crucial to understand that our website's policies do not govern these external entities' privacy practices and data collection methods. Therefore, if you decide to engage with any third-party property, we strongly advise reviewing their terms and conditions and privacy policy to ensure you are informed about how they handle your personal information.

Individuals in California are subject to specific provisions under state law regarding their personal information. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides certain rights to California residents concerning their personal data. Our privacy notice, supplemental to our main privacy policy, outlines these rights and the conditions under which Californians may exercise them.
Understanding Your Data Rights: To ensure you are well-informed about managing your data, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the specific sections of our Terms and Conditions. These include Section 3.1, detailing the data you provide us; Section 3.2, covering the data we collect; and Section 3.3, which involves data received from third parties.

Our organization prioritizes the security of your data above all. We implement robust measures to safeguard all information transmitted, processed, or stored via our website or systems against unauthorized access and breaches. Our commitment to data security is demonstrated through SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption and routine security evaluations to ensure our data collection and processing practices are secure and confidential.
We enhance our security by engaging third-party services and adhering to recognized information security standards and certifications. This ensures that your data remains protected during transmission and storage. Additionally, we've established stringent access controls and monitoring systems to effectively oversee and restrict employee access to sensitive information, minimizing the risk of internal breaches.
However, it's essential to acknowledge the inherent vulnerabilities of the internet. Despite our diligent efforts to secure our systems, the vast and interconnected nature of the global network means that absolute protection from unauthorized access and other security threats cannot be guaranteed. As such, we cannot assert that our systems and services are invulnerable to security breaches.
We are committed to not targeting our services to individuals under sixteen. Our policy is to refrain from knowingly collecting Personal Information from anyone under sixteen. We aim to remove such information from our records as soon as possible if we inadvertently possess it. If you have any concerns or suspect that we may have inadvertently collected information from a child under sixteen, please contact us at [email protected].
When you provide us with Personal Information, it may be transferred from your country of residence to other countries, which may not offer the same level of protection for your personal data as your home country. A prime example is the potential transfer of your data to the United States. We implement contractual safeguards to protect your data during processing, especially with external contractors.
By using our services and submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, including transferring your data across international borders, notably to the United States.
We take great pride in staying at the forefront of privacy practices within the industry, always tuning our policies to meet our users' evolving needs and expectations.
