We collect the following types of information from you, some of which might be considered personal data under applicable law:

When You Register for a qucikargenerator Account

When you create an Account, we collect the personal data from you, such as your name, phone number, company name, industry, job title, company size, email address, phone number and sign-in information. If you create an Account using your login information from a third-party account, such as Google, Facebook, Apple, or Twitter, we will access and collect the personal data about you that the third-party account provides (which is based on your privacy settings with the third-party account), so that you can log into your Account with us. We use your contact information to send you information about our Services and communicate with you about your Account, your activities on our Site and Services and policy changes. You may unsubscribe from receiving certain types of these messages through your Account settings, although qucikargenerator reserves the right to contact you when we believe it is necessary, such as for administrative and account management purposes.

We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. We use this confirmation to improve our customer service.

You have the opportunity to add sub-users to your Account. If you create a sub-user, the following personal data of the sub-user will be processed: Name, email address, IP address of the user’s device, date and time of sub-user creation, login information, employer, phone number.

Some features of the Services allow registered users to provide their own content to the Services, such as written descriptions of URLs, comments, images and video. Unless you request deletion of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy, all content submitted by you to the Services may be retained by qucikargenerator, even after you terminate your Account and may continue to be shared by third parties, as described in this Privacy Policy.

When You Create a qucikargenerator Link, QR code or Link in Bio (collectively “qucikargenerator Products”)

One feature of the Services is the ability to create shortened uniform resource locators (URLs) of websites, QR codes linking to a URL, or a Link in Bio linking to a URL (“qucikargenerator Products”). When you create a shortened link, QR code, Link in Bio or other qucikargenerator product, qucikargenerator collects and stores both the original URL and any shortened URL and, if you are logged in to your Account, we will associate that information with your Account. qucikargenerator also collects and stores your IP address, your geolocation data (which we derive from your IP address), the time and date on which you shortened the original URL and/or created the qucikargenerator Product, and if you share a qucikargenerator Product on a social networking platform, the name of the platform and your username on that platform.

When You Interact With a qucikargenerator Product

qucikargenerator automatically collects personal data about the interaction (such as clicks or views) with every qucikargenerator Product created through the Services (either our bit.ly links or one of our branded domains) on a third-party website. This information includes, but is not limited to: (i) the IP address and location derived from the IP address; (ii) internet or other electronic network activity information like the referring websites or services; (iii) the time and date of each access; (iv) device settings, such as browser type, operating system, and language; and (v) cookies, as described in our cookie policy, and mobile advertising identifiers. As described in this Privacy Policy, we use this personal data to provide the Services, to understand and analyze how our Services are used and to identify trends, and to detect, deter and prevent malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity, and in some cases we show a Destination Preview which contains information about the link or QR Code end destination, and may or may not include advertising from third parties. Please see the “Information We Share” section below for a description of how we may share information we collect when you create, view or interact with qucikargenerator Products.

Usage Across Devices

We use the information we collect to make inferences that a unique individual has created or interacted with qucikargenerator links, QR codes or Links in Bio on different devices so that we can detect, deter and prevent malicious, fraudulent or unlawful activity and analyze how users use our Services. For example, if you created a qucikargenerator Product on a computer connected to your residential WiFi network, and you soon thereafter clicked on a qucikargenerator Product on a mobile device connected to the same WiFi network, we may infer that a single individual created and clicked on the qucikargenerator Product because both events were associated with the same IP address in the same time period.

Other Uses

We also may use personal data to pursue legitimate interests, such as direct marketing, research (including marketing research), network and information security, prevention of fraudulent, malicious and unlawful activities, or any other purpose, as disclosed to you at the time you provide personal data or we contact you for the first time.

Information We Share

The Services are designed to help you share information with others. The following categories of personal data generated through your use of the Services are shared publicly, within qucikargenerator and with the following categories of third parties for the business purposes described below.

Please note that if you hold a qucikargenerator Account(s) and/or use qucikargenerator Services managed by us or other qucikargenerator entities, such personal data is combined with personal data collected in connection with qucikargenerator Services. Sharing and combining the personal data is based on qucikargenerator’s legitimate interests in finding synergies generated from performing, planning, and developing business in group level, and in promoting sales by cross and up-selling complementary products of group companies.

qucikargenerator Products You Create – Much of your activity on and through the Services is public by default. For example, when you create a qucikargenerator Product, the original URLs you have shortened and the corresponding qucikargenerator Product are publicly available, including the possibly included personal data.

Account Information – Where permitted by law, if you register a qucikargenerator Account with an email address on a domain owned by an organization, (for example, an employer or educational institution where you have an email account), we may share your email address and information about your Account, such as the number of links you have created, with that organization to explore the organization’s interest in creating or managing an enterprise account or for related purposes.

Customer Support – We use various tools for communication and to provide you with customer support. To use customer support, you must provide at least one valid email address. This data processing can include the following data: Name, email address, contract information, job title, employer, customer ID, payment information, communication data. Data is processed to provide the services, offer customer support, communication with interested persons, responding to inquiries and customer relationship management. If the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract or if you already have an account then we retain your information as needed to verify and provide you access to the services. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, to the extent further storage is not permitted or required by law. Personal data collection in connection with customer support will be shared within qucikargenerator to be used for our joint purposes as described under “Data Sharing and Joint Processing within qucikargenerator.“

Email Verification – We use an email verification service. The email address of a user is processed for the purpose of verification and to filter invalid and spam email addresses/domains. All email addresses which are provided to the verification service by us are automatically deleted after the verification process.

Email Marketing – For some services, we use email marketing providers to send transactional emails. When you register for our services, the data you enter during registration is transferred to our email marketing provider. This enables us to send you relevant emails, e.g. to confirm your registration or unsubscribe from our services. Further personal data may be stored and evaluated as a result, especially the user’s activity (in particular which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on) and device and browser information (in particular the IP address and operating system). For this purpose, your data will also be stored by our email marketing provider. Your data will not be passed on to third parties for the purpose of sending mails within the scope of using our services, nor will the vendor obtain the right to pass on your data.

Information You Elect to Share – When creating a qucikargenerator Product, you can share that qucikargenerator Product through Third Party Services. Any information that you elect to distribute through Third Party Services, such as a social network post you create, may then become accessible to users of those services. You can also access other Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on links in the Statistics page for a qucikargenerator Product.

Information Shared with Service Providers – We may employ and contract with third parties to perform certain tasks on our behalf and under our direction (our “Service Providers”).

Our agreements with these Service Providers authorize them to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by our agreements with our service providers.

Payment Processing – For the transmission and verification of purchases, the data processed include bank account details, billing/shipping address, card expiration date, customer name, CVC code, date/time/amount of transaction, device ID, email address, IP address/location, customer ID, payment card details, tax ID/status, unique customer identifier. We share your data in these cases to allow the payment processing services necessary to process the payments for your account.

Service Optimization – We use a variety of third party vendors in order to optimize our service. Vendors are used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offerings and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors as pseudonymous values. With the help of these analyses, we can recognize, for example, which online offer, content or functions of our products are most frequently used or invite re-use. Likewise, we can understand which areas need optimization. Software may be used for analyzing and optimizing online offerings based on feedback functions and pseudonymously performed measurements and analyses of user behavior. In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

This processing may include IP address, random unique identifiers, experiment and event data associated with these identifiers (such as device type, variation and experiment IDs, browser and OS version and elements of the site being tested), device screen resolution, device type (unique device identifiers), operating system, browser type, geographic location (country only), preferred language, mouse events (movements, location and clicks), referring URL and domain, pages visited, date and time when website pages were accessed.

In certain cases, your data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests of providing efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services and the improvement of our service.

With Your Consent – We will share information about you when you direct or otherwise instruct us to do so, such as when you share QR Codes or content with others through the Services, if you intentionally use or direct us or the Services to interact with third parties, or if we notify you that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information (like sharing/posting it with a third-party Service).

Use of Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site (e.g., to measure reach). In connection with the use of Google Analytics, location data (information on the geographical position of a device or person) may be processed in addition to metadata and communication data (e.g. device information and IP addresses). Usage data (e.g. access to websites, clicks, access times), contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms) or inventory data (e.g. names, addresses) may also be processed. Google Analytics has been supplemented by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously (IP masking).

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

Google Signals

We have activated Google Signals in Google Analytics. This special aspect of Google Analytics involves cross-device tracking. If you have permitted personalized ads in your Google account, your data can be analyzed across multiple devices. The data is collected and linked to the Google account. This helps us to understand the behavior of visitors and users and how you interact with our websites and products across multiple devices and sessions to improve our service and marketing measures.

Use of Google Optimize

We use Google Optimize to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offerings and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors as pseudonymous values. With the help of these analyses, we can recognize, for example, which online offer, content or functions of our products are most frequently used or invite re-use. Likewise, we can understand which areas need optimization. In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components. This processing includes usage data (e.g. web pages visited, interest in content, access times) and meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

The IP addresses of the users are also stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

The purposes of this processing are reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors); tracking (e.g. interest/behavior-related profiling, use of cookies); provision of our online offering and user-friendliness. Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law, e.g. for tax and accounting purposes.

Processing of personal data within Google products is based upon your consent. However, in some cases the use of a Google product may also form part of our (pre)contractual services, or our interest in providing our users with efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services and the improvement of our service.

Use of Google AdSense and/or Ads Manager

In connection with Destination Preview, there may be advertising delivered by Google AdSense (https://adsense.google.com/) or Ad Manager (https://admanager.google.com/). Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites.

12.1 For US and non-EU Customers:

12.1.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be governed by and construed under the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof and without regard to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To the extent any dispute between us is not subject to arbitration as set forth herein, the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York for resolution of such dispute.

12.1.2 Limitation for Bringing Claims. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the quickqrgenerator Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.

All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be finally resolved in arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. In an arbitration, an arbitrator decides any Disputes, and neither of us will have the right to bring a lawsuit in court or to have a judge or jury decide any Dispute. Each of us further agrees that any dispute over the scope of this arbitration provision, and any dispute as to whether a claim is subject to arbitration, shall be submitted to the arbitrator for decision.

If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, the venue for such hearing shall be (i) in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or, (ii) if you are an individual consumer, then at your option either in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you reside at the time the dispute is submitted to arbitration.

The foregoing notwithstanding, if you are an individual consumer then you and we both retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for any Dispute falling within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction.

In addition, we each agree that any Disputes will be adjudicated on an individual basis, and each of us waives the right to participate in a class action, collective or other joint or consolidated action with respect to any Disputes. This arbitration and class action waiver provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12.2 For EU Customers:

12.2.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be governed by and construed under the laws of Germany without regard to its conflict of laws provisions and to the exclusion of CISG.

12.2.2 Except to the extent set out in the clause below, you and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the German courts in respect of any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with this Agreement. In such cases, you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of Berlin, and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by such courts and to the venue of such courts.

12.2.3 Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any Disputes will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC said Rules. The venue for such proceedings shall be in Berlin, Germany.

12.2.4 The European Commission provides for an online dispute resolution platform, which you can access at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged and will not participate in an alternative dispute settlement procedure before a consumer dispute resolution entity.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.2 Entire Agreement and Severability. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between the parties with respect thereto, including any non-disclosure agreements signed by the parties, and may be modified only by an express written agreement between the parties. Without limiting the foregoing, no additional or conflicting terms set out on any purchase order, invoice or similar document are binding.

13.3 Force Majeure. Except for any Fees due hereunder, neither party shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such delay or failure results from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, cyber-attacks, mechanical, electronic or communications failures, acts of God, terrorism, war, natural disasters, failure of any telecommunications or transportation or of any third party provider or supplier (e.g., host or app store providers) or labor disputes.

13.4 Assignment. Except to an affiliate or in the event of a merger, acquisition or other change of control, neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written permission of the other party, and any attempt to do so is void. This Agreement shall be binding on any permitted successors and assigns.

13.5 Notices. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when sent, if transmitted by email; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.

13.6 Headings; Interpretation. The section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation. Any use of “including” “for example” or “such as” in this Agreement shall be read as being followed by “without limitation.”

If you use the quickqrgenerator Services in its official capacity as an employee or representative of a U.S state or local government entity and are legally unable to accept the indemnity, jurisdiction, venue or other clauses herein, then those clauses do not apply to such entity, but only to the extent as required by applicable law.

13.9 General. The failure of quickqrgenerator to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of quickqrgenerator. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

13.10 Publicity. You grant quickqrgenerator the right to use your name, trademarks and/or logos on its website, customer lists and/or in marketing, advertising or publicity materials to identify you as a customer that uses the quickqrgenerator Services.

6. SECURITY AND AUDIT

6.1 Controls for the Protection of Customer Data. quickqrgenerator shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security (including against unauthorized or unlawful Processing of, and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Personal Information), confidentiality and integrity of Customer Personal Information; and quickqrgenerator shall monitor compliance with these measures in accordance with its internal information security program as set out in quickqrgenerator’s security documentation which is available upon written request. Customer agrees that the security measures set forth by quickqrgenerator provide an adequate level of protection for the Customer Personal Data processed under this DPA. If Customer deems that the security measures are insufficient to provide adequate protection, Customer shall inform quickqrgenerator in writing and the parties agree to work together to resolve such matter(s).

6.2 Audit and Reports. Upon Customer’s written request quickqrgenerator shall make available to Customer all reasonably required information, certificates, documents and reports to demonstrate quickqrgenerator’s and quickqrgenerator Affiliate’s compliance with this DPA.

7. CUSTOMER DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION

In the event of a Data Security Incident, Customer shall be responsible for notifying Data Subjects and/or Supervisory Authorities. Before any such notification is made, Customer shall consult with and provide quickqrgenerator an opportunity to comment on any notification made in connection with a Customer Data Incident. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not restrict Customer’s ability to comply with its legal obligations, if quickqrgenerator does not comment on such notification in a timely manner. Upon Customer’s written request and if required to deal or comply with any assessment, enquiry, notice or investigation by the Supervisory Authority quickqrgenerator will provide commercially reasonable assistance to Customer at Customer’s expense.

8. RETURN AND DELETION OF CUSTOMER DATA

quickqrgenerator shall, on the written request of Customer, return all Customer Personal Information to Customer and/or at Customer’s request delete the same from its systems, other than any back-up copies which quickqrgenerator or its Affiliates are required to retain for compliance with applicable laws or regulatory requirements provided that such copies are kept confidential and secure in accordance with this Agreement.

9. TRANSFER MECHANISMS FOR DATA TRANSFERS

9.1 International Data Transfer. Customer authorizes quickqrgenerator, its Affiliates and their Subprocessors to make international transfers of Customer Personal Data in accordance with this DPA and Data Protection Laws.

9.2 Transfer Mechanism. If the Processing of Customer Personal Information includes transfers from the EEA to Third Countries or any international transfers subject to the GDPR to Third Countries and if required by Data Protection Laws, quickqrgenerator shall (i) comply with the EEA Transfer Mechanism adopted by quickqrgenerator; or, in the absence of the adoption of a EEA Transfer Mechanism, (ii) comply with the importer’s obligations set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses as set forth in Section 9.3.
