We may share your personal information with the following types of entities or in the following situations:

These service providers analyze information about the Website and your use of the Website. Information disclosed for these purposes may include device and online identifiers, ISP information, session ID and /or session log data, information about your internet, browser, and network activity, and location data. We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information.

If you interact with other users or register through a third party social media service such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Google (“Third-Party Social Media Service”), your contacts on the Third-Party Social Media Service may see your name, profile, pictures and description of your activity. Similarly, other users will be able to view descriptions of your activity, communicate with you and view your profile.

User Testimonials and Feedback. We often receive testimonials and comments from users who have had positive experiences with our products and Services. We occasionally publish such content. When we publish this content, we may identify the user who submitted the content by their first and last name and may also indicate their home city. We obtain the user’s consent prior to posting their last name along with the testimonial. We may post feedback submitted to us on the Website from time to time. If you make any comments on a blog or forum associated with the Website, you should be aware that any personal information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.

Promotional Communications. We may use your personal information to send you updates by email about our services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products or services.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes. This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by contacting us at privacy@weareqry.com.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We, our affiliates and/or other persons acting on our or their behalf use cookies and similar technology, such as web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags), or similar technologies as they may develop over time to collect, use, and share information when you visit our online services or interact with us online, via email or through other electronic means.

Cookies are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on a device. Cookies may enable us to capture and compile statistical information about how you use our online services, including information relating to your device’s IP address, the frequency of your visits, readership data (such as the average length of visits, which pages are viewed or shared during a visit or other interactions with our content, such as time spent viewing videos, PDFs read and links clicked), authentication information, acceptance or rejection of website terms, and periods of inactivity. To learn more about cookies, including information on what cookies have been set on your device and how cookies can be managed and deleted, visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Our online services also use web beacons. Web beacons are invisible tags and may be placed on a webpage, in advertisements, or in an email or other message. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular device visits a particular page.

“Clickstream” data (e.g., information regarding which of our Website pages you access, the frequency of such access, and your product and service preferences) may be collected by QRY itself, or by our service providers, using cookies, web beacons, page tags, or similar tools that are set when you visit the Website or when you view an advertisement we may have placed on another website. Clickstream data and similar information may be shared internally within QRY and used for administrative purposes to assess the usage, value and performance of our online products and services; to improve your experience with the Website; and as otherwise permitted by applicable law or regulation. This information may be processed by us for the purposes described above, or on our behalf by other entities, solely in accordance with our instructions.

How We Use These Technologies

We, our services providers, and third party business partners may use information collected from cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies for the following purposes:

to allow our online services to operate as you have requested;

to understand how our online services are accessed and used;

to recognize you when you return to our Website;

to assess the effectiveness of advertising and readership content;

to deliver marketing communications that may be of interest to you, including ads or offers tailored to you; and;

for other purposes described above under “USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.”

We may combine the information that we collect through cookies, web beacons and similar technologies with other personal information we have collected from you from both online and offline sources.

We may work with service providers to promote our products and services both on the Website and other websites. For example, if you visit a page on the Website or third-party websites that provides information about one of our products or services, a cookie may be placed on your browser or device that identifies the product or service you viewed. This information allows us, our service providers, and our third-party business partners to deliver more relevant and tailored content, such as ads for that particular product or service.

Other than service providers, we do not allow unaffiliated third parties to collect personal information about your activities on the Website.

Managing Your Preferences

Web Browser Preferences

Many web browsers allow you to manage your preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will reject cookies, our system may issue cookies when you access or use our online services. In the event you refuse to accept cookies by adjusting your browser setting, some or all areas of our online services may not function properly or may not be accessible.

You can also opt out of online targeted advertising by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Mobile Device Preferences

Your mobile device may give you the ability to opt out of the use of information about the mobile browsers or apps you use in order to serve you ads that are targeted to your interests. You can stop the collection of location information from your mobile device by changing the preferences on your mobile device.

Do Not Track Policy

Most browsers can be set to send signals to third party websites requesting them not to track the user’s activities. At this time, we do not respond to “do not track” signals. Consequently, our third party service providers may indeed track and collect information about your online activities over time while navigating to, from and on our online services, notwithstanding any “do not track” signals we may receive.

Keeping Your Personal Information Secure. Our goal is to protect your personal information submitted to us through our Website or online services. We maintain appropriate reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable law to guard nonpublic personal information about you against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information you have provided to us through our online services. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have internal policies governing the proper handling of consumer information by personnel and requiring third parties that provide support or marketing services on our behalf to adhere to appropriate security standards with respect to such information. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so. The security of your personal information is important to us, but please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is perfectly secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Where Your Personal Information is Held. The Website and our Services are United States-based, and are controlled, operated and administered from our offices within the United States. However, QRY, its operations, workforce, and service providers are located throughout the world. Information may be held at our offices and those of our third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: "SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHER ENTITIES"). Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: "Transferring Your Personal Information Out of the EEA".

If you have additional questions about how we protect your information, please contact us at privacy@weareqry.com.

Links to Other Websites

This Privacy Policy only applies to the use and disclosure of information we collect through our online services. Our online services may contain links to other websites belonging to third parties that are not affiliated with us. The inclusion of any link on our Website or otherwise in our online services does not imply our endorsement of the linked website or service. While we try to link only to websites that meet our standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other websites, or links posted on our online services. Information you disclose to other parties or through such sites is subject to the privacy and security practices and policies of those parties or websites. We disclaim all liability, to the extent permissible, with regard to your access to such linked websites. Access to any other websites is at your own discretion and we encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website or online services visited in order to learn how such third parties may treat your information.

Information Collected from Third Party Companies

We may receive personal information and/or anonymous data about you from companies that provide our Services or products by way of a co-branded or private-labeled website or companies that offer their products and/or services on the Website. We may add this information to the personal information we have already collected from you via the Website or Services in order to improve the Services we provide, the features we offer you, or the functionality of the Website.

Email Communications

We will periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails that directly promote our products, our business partners’ products, the use of our Website or the Services. When you receive newsletters or promotional communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive or by contacting us directly (please see contact information below). Withdrawing your consent for one mailing list will not affect your receipt of messages from other mailing lists or of information concerning your purchases. Despite your indicated e-mail preferences, we may send you service related or administrative communications, including notices of any updates to our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.

How Long Your Personal Information Will Be Kept. Personal Information shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for. Personal Information collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the us and you shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed. Personal information collected for the purposes of our legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. QRY may be allowed to retain Personal information for a longer period whenever you have given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, we may be obliged to retain Personal information for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority. Once the relevant personal information retention period expires, Personal information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

Transferring Your Personal Information Out of the EEA. To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

With our offices, which are located outside the EEA;
With your and our service providers located outside the EEA;
If you are based outside the EEA; or
Where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law. These non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal information will be secure. If you would like further information, please contact us at privacy@weareqry.com or see "How To Contact Us" below.
