We comply with data protection laws when handling and using personal information. The processing of personal data is usually based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

You can withdraw your consent using the provided link, ensuring our compliance with legal norms. Upon confirmation of your withdrawal request, we will act accordingly.
We use various methods to collect data about how users engage with and use Our Services.
3.1 Information You Provide
You may need to supply specific personal details to access and utilize certain features within Our Services. This requirement may arise when creating a user account, writing reviews, subscribing to newsletters, or receiving promotional materials. We will ensure you obtain your informed consent before collecting personal data, as detailed below.
"Personal Information," as defined in our privacy policy, includes any data that can identify an individual alone or in combination with other information. This encompasses your name, home address, phone number, email address, and other similar contact details. The classification of an IP address as personal information depends on its use and applicable local laws. Your internet service provider assigns an IP address to your device, which may fall under this category. We maintain strict confidentiality of your data and exercise great caution in cases where personal data could potentially be identified.
3.1.1 Engaging with Partner Services and Online Forms
Within our ecosystem, we collaborate with various entities called "Partners," whose products and services we review and evaluate. Occasionally, our users may encounter additional opportunities, resources, and services available through these Partners. By filling out an online form, you engage with these extra services, and the information you provide helps the Partner ("Lead") manage your inquiry or interaction efficiently.
Click the specific Partner icon or tab to interact with a Partner or learn more about their offerings. This action will take you to a landing page managed and owned by the Partner and accessible via various online platforms. On this page, you might be asked to provide personal details such as your name, phone number, and email address, collectively called "Landing Page Info."
Please note that the Partner who owns the landing page will have immediate access to the information you provide. Therefore, the Partner’s data collection and privacy policies will govern your data management. We highly recommend that you review the privacy policies of the relevant Partners to fully understand how your personal information will be collected, used, and safeguarded.
3.1.2 Communication Channels
We may collect personal information like your name and email address if you contact us via any communication channels such as emails, online forms, or issue-reporting tools. According to sections 4 and 5 of our Privacy Policy, this information is used to respond to your inquiries and other legitimate business purposes.
3.1.3 Interaction with Our Content
We provide a range of content and activities, including blogs, reviews, newsletters, and insights into our services, products, and the industries we are involved in. Participating in marketing campaign surveys or subscribing to our newsletters may require you to provide personal information, such as your name and email address. This information may be shared with third parties in certain instances, subject to their privacy policies. We assure you that any information you provide will be used solely for the purpose for which it was collected.
3.1.4 Reviews and User Profiles
We allow you to review our partners or create a user profile on our services. This helps us better understand your preferences and tailor our offerings to enhance your personalized experience.
3.2 Methods of Data Collection
3.2.1 Device Information
We collect specific data on each device to enhance compatibility and improve service delivery across different devices. This includes information about the device type, language settings, operating system, and browser details such as screen resolution and type.
3.2.2 User Engagement and Interactions
To improve the functionality of our services, we track how users engage with our platform, including actions like clicks, page views, and the timing and sequence of website visits. This data is shared with our affiliates and partners to understand user behavior better. Users can log in through links on our site or via external sources. We also monitor the frequency and timing of user interactions on our site.
3.2.3 Log Data
Our platforms use tracking technologies like pixel tags to collect information from server logs. Analyzing this log data helps us identify usage patterns and understand how users interact with our services. The information collected includes IP addresses from users’ Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which help determine users’ geographical locations, preferred languages, and regional settings. This geographical data ensures we offer services appropriate to users' locales. Additionally, IP addresses are analyzed through automated processes to monitor for any suspicious activities.
3.2.4 Tracking Technologies Used in Our Services
We utilize cookies, web beacons, and pixel tags to track users' online activities anonymously. These tools may be used directly by us or through third-party service providers. A cookie is a small file a website sends to your computer, enabling the site to recognize your browser on subsequent visits. This helps the site remember your preferences and other details about how you interact with our services. You can be notified when a new cookie is sent to your browser or to block cookies entirely. However, blocking cookies may limit your access to certain website functionalities, potentially restricting the use of specific areas.
Working alongside cookies, Pixel tags track and log user activities, such as website visits and email interactions, to provide a seamless experience.
We recommend reviewing our Cookie Policy to understand the various types of cookies we use and how they function within our services.
3.3 Collection of Data from Third Parties
Our services incorporate data from affiliates, partners, and other organizations to improve operational efficiency. This data is collected through various means, including generating internal user identities and observing user behaviors such as clicks, purchases, views, form completions, and phone interactions.
Our click-to-call feature, designed to streamline your access to our services, involves collaboration with external service providers for call routing, monitoring, and reporting. As part of this process, we may temporarily retain phone numbers and other personal details to enhance the efficiency and personalization of our services and recommendations. The permissions you grant explicitly define your data's limited and intended use.
Providing personal information when using our services is voluntary and at your discretion. By using our services, you implicitly agree to the terms outlined in our privacy policy and related information-handling practices. We urge all users to adhere to these guidelines.
You maintain full control over which services you choose to use, understanding that certain services may require the disclosure of specific personal data. If you provide your personal information, you can revoke your consent anytime. For information on opt-out or withdrawing your consent, please refer to Section 8.
We collect your Personal Information, "your Information," to provide and improve our services seamlessly. This information helps us enhance user interactions, monitor and customize advertising, verify identities, prevent fraud, respond to inquiries and communications, and authenticate and track usage of our services.
We value your privacy and share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties only under specific conditions:
6.1 Data Management Platforms
We use external cloud and storage services called "Data Platforms" to manage user data efficiently. This includes transferring data for processing or storage to international locations, including the United States. An example of one such platform is Amazon Web Services, whose privacy practices can be reviewed at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy. We ensure that these data platforms adhere to stringent privacy and security protocols that are compliant with data protection laws, although their specific privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
6.2 Social Media Engagement
Social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn may use your personal information for advertising and marketing purposes. These platforms may independently collect data and, with your consent, integrate it with the information we provide. These platforms' management and sharing of personal data are dictated by their own privacy policies, which are outside our direct control. California residents can opt out of this data sharing, as Section 9 of our Privacy Notice outlines.
6.3 Service Providers
Third-party service providers, including customer support teams and communication service operators, are given access to the data you share. These entities assist in analyzing user behavior and enhancing our service offerings. It is crucial that these providers adhere to their privacy policies and maintain transparency with consumers. We advise reviewing their policies thoroughly before engaging with their services. Note that these companies may operate globally, depending on the locations of their servers.
6.4 Confidentiality and Information Sharing
We may need to share your Personal Information with other entities for various reasons, including compliance with legal obligations, responding to legal or government inquiries, investigating violations of our terms, addressing fraud or security issues, and protecting the assets, privacy, or safety of qrcode-creator.review, our affiliates, you, and the public.
6.5 Collaborating with Partners
There are instances where we may share your personal information with our partner organizations when necessary or advantageous. This could be due to compliance with legal, regulatory, or judicial directives, responding to authority requests, investigating potential term violations, addressing security threats, or ensuring the safety of qrcode-creator.review, our associates, you, and the general public.
6.6 Business Structural Changes
Your Personal Information may be transferred if qrcode-creator.review or its affiliates sell all or part of their assets, merge with another company, or are acquired. In these cases, it is the acquiring entity’s responsibility to maintain transparent and fair data handling practices to ensure your rights are safeguarded per applicable laws.
Moreover, we might share anonymized or non-personal information with third parties under certain circumstances. External companies may use services that benefit them or us. By incorporating technologies from entities like Tableau and Google Analytics into our website, we can collect valuable data from user interactions such as clicks, scrolls, cursor movements, and typing, all aimed at enhancing our site’s content and user experience.
Third-party technologies on our site may use their own cookies, each governed by their respective privacy policies. For detailed information about our cookie usage, please refer to our Cookie Policy. Links to learn more about Google's cookie practices and to opt out of Google Analytics are also provided.
Our website includes links to documents, files, or web pages, termed "Third-Party Properties," which are beyond our control. These links may lead to pages owned by third-party entities themselves. If you follow these links and share your information on such Third-Party Properties, it is possible that third parties may access your personal details. It's important to be aware that there may be agreements between qrcode-creator.review, our partners, and these third parties are concerned about the exchange of data, which could include your personal information. Please note that our privacy policy does not extend to these third-party sites. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies and terms associated with Third-Party Properties before interacting with them.
We encourage users to consider carefully before sharing personal information with us, in accordance with our privacy policy. This advice applies regardless of your geographical location. Your rights to control your personal information are subject to specific conditions:

9.2 Rights for Canadian Users
If you are a Canadian resident and wish to inquire whether your personal information has been shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes, please contact us at [email protected].
9.3 Privacy Rights for California Residents
California residents are protected under specific state laws regarding their personal data. We have updated our privacy policy to include a section specifically for provisions under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which grants Californians certain rights if they meet legal criteria.
At the core of our operations lies a strong commitment to securing information. We employ rigorous measures to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of all information processed, transmitted, and stored via our website and IT systems. Our website is secured with SSL encryption, and we regularly review the security of our website and the data we manage. We also engage third-party service providers for data transfer and storage, ensuring they meet stringent security standards and certifications. Furthermore, strict access controls and monitoring systems are in place to oversee and regulate staff access to sensitive data.
Despite our comprehensive security measures, the inherent openness of the internet means that we cannot guarantee complete protection against all unauthorized access and cyber threats. Thus, we cannot promise that our systems or services will be completely immune to security breaches.
Our services are not intended for individuals under sixteen, in line with our strict policy of not collecting Personal Information from children below this age. If we inadvertently collect such information from anyone under sixteen, we commit to promptly deleting it. If you have any concerns or require further clarification about how we handle children’s information, please contact us at [email protected].
When personal information is transferred across international borders, it may be processed in countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your home country. For example, data transferred to the United States may be subject to different privacy standards. We establish stringent agreements with our international partners to mitigate these risks to protect your data throughout its journey.
By utilizing our services and providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to our privacy policy, which includes the possibility of transferring your data to the United States and other countries as necessary.
We take great pride in our dedication to being leaders in privacy and data protection. Our top priority is meeting our customers' changing needs while upholding the strictest privacy standards. We regularly update our practices to ensure we maintain this commitment.
Our goal is for our privacy policy to be clear and understandable. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
