Privacy
iTOK is a service provided by QK. At QK, your privacy is our most vital concern;
it's a huge part of what our business is all
about.
To protect your privacy on this site, Quick Knowledge Pty Ltd ("QK") has created
this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement is hereby incorporated
in our Site Use Agreement and by registering for our service, you
accept the terms herein.
Collecting Your Information
on QK
When you browse QK's website you do so
anonymously. If you decide to purchase a product from our online store,
we will collect only the information necessary for authentication and
billing purposes. When you place an order, we need to know your name,
e-mail address, street address, city, state, zip/postal code, and
country. For credit card transactions, we will need the applicable
credit card number and expiration date, and the name as it appears on
the card. For payment by e-checking, the online check payment option,
we need to know your checking account number and financial institution
information, including the routing number. This information allows us
to process and fulfil your orders, and to notify you of your order
status. If you decide to participate in an online survey or use one of
our promotional features, such as a free trial for a particular
product, if applicable, we may ask for your name, address, e-mail
address and other pertinent information to administer the survey or
promotion and tabulate survey results
items.
Preventing Unauthorized Access To Your
Information
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server
software to prevent unauthorized access to the information you submit
online. When you place orders or access your account information, SSL
encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. You can
identify the secure connection by looking at the URL, which will begin
with "https:" (instead of "http:"). Please note that with current
technology, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it travels
over the Internet.
We use the information you provide
about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do
not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. We may
provide summary statistics about our customers' interests and
preferences, products sold, traffic patterns and related site
information to a reputable third party. These statistics do not include
personally identifiable information; they are used only to enhance the
design of our Web site and customize new products offerings to our
customers. We do not use or share personally identifiable information
provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described in this
Privacy Statement.
Changes To Our Privacy
Policy
By using our Web site, you consent to the
collection and use of the above information by us. If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it
and under what circumstances we disclose this information. Unless
otherwise provided below, the revised terms will take effect when they
are posted. Once any changes that we make to this Privacy Statement
become effective, your continued use of the site after such time will
signify your acceptance of the new terms.
Submitting
Your Comments to QK
QK constantly seeks to
improve the quality of the services we provide and the user experience
on the site. We value your input and encourage you to help us expand
and make improvements to the site by providing us with any thoughts or
comments you might have regarding our services or the operation of the
site. You can submit any comments you have to us by clicking on the
comment link. When sending us comments we may receive your email
address or User Id and the country in which you are located. This
information is optional. If you provide this information, we will only
use it to acknowledge or respond to your comments. Submitting comments
via an email will not cause you to receive any secondary or promotional
material, unless specifically requested by you. In certain
circumstances, we may ask for your permission to post your comments in
marketing or promotional materials.
If you register
with us, we collect and store information that specifically identifies
you or your account ("personally identifiable information"). At this
time, the most information you would be required to submit is your
name, password, street address, city, state, zip/postal code, country,
email address, and billing information as described above. Other
information requested on our registration page, including the ability
to receive promotional offers from iTOK, is optional. We may, in the
future, include other optional requests for information from you, to
help us to tailor the site for you and deliver personalized information
to you. We may supplement our information with additional information
purchased from third parties for marketing purposes. Though we make
every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order or legal
process.
Collection of Technical Information About
Your System
QK automatically collects your browser
type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of the
services to your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on
the site. To improve our site and make it more useful and interesting
to you, we use "cookies" for navigation of our online store and for
customization of information that we may present to you. Cookies are
small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your
computer's hard drive and enable users to specify unique preferences
and to track user trends and patterns. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can disable this feature in your browser. If
you choose to disable cookies, please note that some parts of our site
may not function as effectively or may be considerably slower. As an
automatic process, our web server software records a log file of IP
addresses that access the site. We also collect IP address information
but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to users' personally
identifiable information. However, we can and will use IP addresses to
identify a user when we, in our sole discretion, determine that it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our various policies or to protect
our service, site, customers or others.
Sharing
Information With Our Partners
If
you are a
registered user, we may use personally identifiable information about
you for our own internal purposes, such as contacting you via email to
inform you about updates to our services, providing you with
information relating to your purchases from our online store, and
providing you with other information that we think may be of interest
to you. We do not send any of your personally identifiable information
to our advertisers. You may see a cookie from a third-party banner
server, but this cookie comes from the third-party banner server, not
QK. QK enters into co-branding relationships with third-party web
sites and companies to provide products and services to our users. If
you are a registered user, QK may share your personally identifiable
information with certain co-branded third party service or product
providers as required to provide a specific product or service that you
request from a co-branded page or cobranded site. However, these
third-party partners may not use this personally identifiable
information for any reason other than to provide the service or product
that you have explicitly signed up for. If you join QK through a
co-branded site (e.g., on a co-branded registration page), it is QK's
general policy not to share anything other than summarized or
aggregated data with the partner; however, any personally identifiable
information you provide may also be received by the co-branded site and
could be stored and used by the co-branded service or product provider
according to their privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to take
the time to review these third-party privacy
policies.
Terminating Your
Membership
After you register with us, we save your
personally identifiable information until your membership with us is
terminated or the service package(s) you purchase has expired,
whichever is later. To terminate membership, contact QK Customer
Service as indicated on our contact page. To cancel your service
package(s), refer to the steps outlined in your Client Contract. If you
terminate your membership, your personally identifiable information
cannot be recovered; however, you may continue to receive email
communications for a short period of time until we have updated all of
our databases. After termination of your membership, your personally
identifiable information may remain on our archived database and
records for a reasonable time as residual information. We will not use
this residual information. Notwithstanding the above, we will maintain
information on users who have been removed for violating any of our
agreements. If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or
the practices of this site, you may contact us by using the Contact Us
section of this site.
