Quadicore Privacy Notice

Last modified: November 3, 2021

About us

Quadicore Technologies (together with its subsidiaries, “Quadicore ”, “us” or “we”) is a leading provider of online tools for small and medium businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations to connect with their contacts or customers through email marketing, social media, websites and more. We refer to the products and services that are ordered by our customers and made available online by Quadicore , as described at https://www.quadicore.com, as the “Services.”

Our Services help our customers provide timely and relevant marketing and communications on a cross-media basis. Our clients can upload contact lists and use our platform to reach their customers and others, for instance, through email and other channels. Personal information and other data submitted by or on behalf of a customer to the Services, including contact lists (which may include email addresses and other information for a customer’s contacts) and content (including the content of a customer’s campaigns) (collectively, “Customer Data”), belongs to and is controlled by our customers. Quadicore does not process Customer Data except as provided in our online user agreements with our customers, available here. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our Customers, including with respect to the personal information they collect or upload to our Services.

 

Information covered by this Privacy Notice

This privacy notice and our Cookie Notice collectively provide details about our practices relating to personal information collected from or about visitors to our websites, our customers, and others (collectively, our “Users” or “you”). It describes how your personal information is collected, used and shared by us in the course of operating our website and our business.

The Customer Data that we handle on behalf of our customers is not collected on our website, but rather through our customers’ independent use of our platform.  For example, our customers may use our platform to encourage their contacts to sign up for their email lists. Emails sent from the Quadicore platform include single pixel gifs, also known as web beacons, which contain unique identifiers that enable us and our customers to recognize when their contacts have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each contact’s email address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for an email campaign. We use this data at our customers’ direction to create reports for our customers about how an email campaign performed and what actions their contacts took and to analyze, customize and enhance our customers’ communications and strategies.

This privacy notice only applies to our Users’ personal information.  It does not apply to any of our customers’ contacts’ personal information included in the Customer Data.  When we receive our customers’ contacts’ personal information from our customers, we are acting in the role of a processor or service provider, including when we offer to our customers various products and services through which our customers (or their affiliates): (i) create their own websites and applications running on our platforms; (ii) sell or offer their own products and services; (iii) send electronic communications to their contacts through our Services; or (iv) otherwise collect, use, share or process personal information via our Services.

In addition to this privacy notice, the following addenda related to individuals in certain locations also apply to your purchase or use of those Services where applicable. These addenda are a part of this privacy notice:

  • Third party service providers and vendors;
  • In connection with a sale, merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization;

Sharing within the Quadicore Corporate Family

We occasionally share business contact or other information about our customers with other members of the Quadicore corporate family to improve our products and services and so that we may better provide you with information about our offers, services or products that may be of interest to you. The Quadicore corporate family includes affiliates that directly or indirectly control, are controlled by, or are under common control with Quadicore . Any such corporate affiliate may use your information only according to the terms of this privacy notice. If you are located in a jurisdiction where such sharing requires your permission, we will only do so with your consent.

Sharing with Partners

The information we share with our partners includes your name, email address and other information enabling our partners to assist you in using our Services.

Our partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags and other similar technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. To view our Cookie Notice, click here.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where such sharing requires your permission, we will only do so with your consent. Please note that if you access our services through a tool that hides your location, such as through a virtual private network, you may not receive our request for permission because we were not able to identify you as being located in a jurisdiction where your permission is required.

Further, our partners are prohibited from using your contact information for any purpose beyond those set forth above without your consent. We will not provide our partners with your credit card information. If you are working with a partner, such as a Quadicore Solution Provider, and would like that partner to have full access to your account, including the ability to send emails on your behalf, we will provide access to just that partner upon your request or consent.

In the event we collect information from you in connection with an offer that is jointly presented by us and a partner, we will let you know who is collecting the information and whose privacy notice applies, as well as any options you may have regarding use of your information.

A primary account holder can view personal information saved in subaccounts to which they have authorized access. We share information about authorized users only for legitimate purposes consistent with this privacy notice, including servicing your account and marketing products and services to you.

Legal Process

If legally required to do so, or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, we may disclose your personal information to courts of law, public authorities (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), and other relevant third parties, such as internet service providers, to conduct an investigation, respond to a third party or law enforcement subpoena or court order, to bring legal action, prevent harm to others or pursue other relief when you or a third party are or may be:

Security

The transmission of information via the internet, email or text message is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted through the Services or over email; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized use, access or modification.

When we collect financial account information, such as credit card numbers, we protect its transmission through the use of encryption such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.

 

Tracking Technologies and Online Advertising

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts and other similar technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) in the course of our business. Information about the technologies we use, why we use them (for example, in connection with online advertising), and how you can control them can be found in our Cookie Notice .

Our service providers and vendors may also use Tracking Technologies in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests.

Third party links and Information collection and use by our users

For example, if you take advantage of certain of our social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site, the applicable social networking sites may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our websites, and may set a cookie to enable it to function properly.
